The Congressional Convention and Its
Nominee.


Since our last issue, the Republican
Congressional Convention has met and
nominated Hon. Milo White for Congress.
Mr.. Dunncll's name was not presented to
the convention. His strength consisted
of Steele, Houston and one vote in Free
born. Mr. White nomination was made
on the Sd ballot, Mr.. Dunnells friends
voting for ]. A. Leonard and Ed Thomp
son, with scattering votes for Yale and
Lawrence
The informal ballot resulted as fol-
lowing: White, 81; Yale, 10; Lawrence,
9; Thompson, 6; Leonard, 7.
First formal ballot-White, 81; Yale,
16; Lawrence, 8; Thompson, 6; Leonard, 7.
Second ballot-White, As; Yale, Is;
Thompson, g.; Leonard, ).
The chair appointed the following
kins, of Mower; J. II. Wagner. of
Olmsted; W. W. Williams, of Freedom;
O. c. Geary, of Wabasha; R. B. Basford,
of Winona; B. A. Mann of Fillmore;
w. A. Sperry, of Steele; J. G. Lowman,
of Houston.
While our readers know Mr. White was
not our first choice for congressman, we
promised and are willing to abide the re-
suit of the Republican convention. MIR.
White is the nominee of the party, receiv
ing his nomination bv clear majority
nf tho ut1egates in the convention. We
believe he will be supported by the Re-
publicans Of the district. 1t is idle to re-
pine-to discuss the causes which led to
the defeat of Mr.. Dunnell. We therefore,
in the interest Of harmony and concilia-
ton, refrain from so doing. That our
readers may know little something of
Mr.. Whites personal history we publish
the following biographical sketch:
Hon. Milo White of Chatfield is one of
the Oldest merchants in Minnesota, and
is direct descendant of the first child
born in the Plymouth colony: MIR. White
was born in Fletcher, Franklin county,
Vt, August II, 1880, his parents being
farmers. After receiving an ordinary
common school education he became a
clerk in a general store in Fletcher at the
age of fifteen. From there, after three
years experience, he went to Cambridge,
and after remaining one year went to
Burlington, where he remained four
years. In 1858 he entered store in New
York, and worked for two years. after
which he travelled to Chatfeld, and in the
autumn of 1856 started in business. In
1871 Mr.. White was elected State Senator,
and represented his district for five con-
secutive years in the legislature, being
chairman of the committee on claims the
first three or four sessions, and of finance
afterwards. Mr.. White was married
June, 1858, to Miss Hannah A. Ellis of
Fairfax, Vt. He and his family attend
the Methodist church.
