THE POLICY FOR THE FIFTH DIS
TRICT

The GLOBE gives place this morning
to the argument of the editor of the St..
Cloud Times in behalf of Democratic
nomination in the Fifth District. There
is really little use in replying to such an
argument as MIR. Macdonald makes. be-
cause he assumes that there is 'sfighting
chance for Democrat to be elected, but
adds that if he cannot be, he has no
choice between the Republican candl-
dates.
The GLOBE does not consider that
there is Fighting chance" and it has
a decided preference between the two
Republican candidates. This preference
is not personal to either candidate, but
applies to the factions which each repre-
sent Mr.. Nelson is simply a stool
pigeon for Washburn's senatorial aspira-
tions, and MIR. Kindred, be he saint or
sinner, would be vastly preferable to any
Washburn man. If there is any corrupt
and thieving elements in the Republican
party of the state, if there arc any pine
land jobs, if there are any schemes
for public plunder, Mr.. Nelson will
represent them. The men who are in
terested in such matters are rallying to
his standard and Mr.. Nelson will be like
clay in their hands, to be nodded at their
will.
But dropping the moralizing argu-
ment, which can be elaborated
until it becomes irresistible, let
us examine the statistical stu
ton. The following table gives the vot,
for president in 1880, and for governor
n 1881:
Daily globe., 1882-08-02

MIR. Macdonald gives the figures Of
1880, but omits those of 1881, which ranks
far more an 'off year" than 1882. For
president the vote stood Garfield 15,442,
Hancock S,4O5. For governor it stood
Hubbard 1881, johnson 6,595. The
majority for Garfield was 1907,
and for Hubbard 1896. This
shows, if anything, that the
"off year, made slight increase in the
Republican majority: Mr.. Macdonald
cites the vote for Gen. Sibley as being
still greater than Hancock's. That
cannot properly be counted factor in
the argument for the reason that no man
lives in the Fifth district who
is held in such love and es-
TEEN as Gen. Sibley. That vote
was a personal tribute to a gentleman
who ranksl.among men as "the noblest
Roman of them all" and cannot and will
not be repeated for another.
So far as the lesson of these figures has
any value at al, it shows that to give the
Democrats any possible chance they must
hold all of their forces and that the Re-
publican vote must be split squarely in
the middle. Both propositions are ab
surd. In heated contest like that
which will rage between Kindred and
Nelson, the personal preferences of hun
dreds of Democrats will be drawn to one
or the other, even though a candidate of
their own is in the field. Mr.. Nelson, too.
has nationality upon which he
can rely for large vote and he
has all of the pine land and other
public thieves in the State with Mime
apolis as their centerl to bolster his
cause. His only possible hope is to Sc
cure a plurality vote. He Is morally
certain of plurality over the Democratic
nominee under any and all
and his hope for
