Y ork we see tile sons of millionaire fathers
contending for seats in congress, with skill
in the use Of money for the comprising of
their ends, as their only recommendation.
In Pennsylvania tens of thousands have
been expended time and again, in the cleo
tio, of IL senator, and in many of the west
ern states, and in all of the Pacific states

our own state men Of little brains, but of
plethoric bank accounts, jostlc each other
for the possession of honors which they
wear III painful awkwardness; and. TO
IIing the matter down to our own Fifth
district we are daily made aware of the
disgusting details of the corrupt use Of
money by men who have nothing but the
most selfish ends and ring jobs to further.
This is state of affairs that will ultimately
effect its own remedy, but let us hope that
the people will take the matter in hand and
arrest it at the polls before that revolution
becomes necessary.

Probably nine-tenths of the Republican
voters Of Stevens desired the nomination of
General L. FL. Barrett, of this county, for
state senator. General Barrett is an hon
orable gentleman, an agriculturalist by
profession. fully identified with the chief
interests of this district, and withal, the
largest tax payer in Stevens county.
Such a man could not, of course, be used
by the machine for ring purposes. G. F.
Washburn, of Grant, on the other hand, is
a man well versed i'm the art of what Mr..
Arthur calls practical politics." 1t
matters not to the bosses that lie is in full
sympathy with the Minneapolis millers'
ring, with the blood sucking railroads that
are fattcning on the labor of the farmers.
while General Barrett is pronounced and
sincere in his antagonism TO these same
corporations; he (Washhurn) can figure
with the machine on the basis of spoils.
Accordingly they made up slate
with Washburn for state senator; for rep
rcsentative, w. H. Campbell, man who
had endeared himself 10 the Ortonvile
with Washburn's cooperation. bin to
establish the county seat of Big Stone at
that point BY means of certain combi-
nations arising from the Nelson-Kindred
imbroglio, tempting opportunity was
presented to Mr.. Campbell to violate the
slate compact. and he jumped with avidity
at the chance to cheat Washburn out OF
the nomination. 1t is idle to speak of the
regularity of their nominations Neither
has it, aud no thinking man will be bound
by the result Of either rump gathering.
To-day this is purely an agricultural Sec
ton, however industrial and commercial it
may become in the future. Ii General
Barrett representing eminently our
sole interests, standing openly with his
face set squarely against the monopolies
which are threatening to crush us, had
been nominated by his own party in obe-
dience to the almost unanimous wish of
the intelligent farmers of the district, it is
safe to say that the Democratic party
would have ratified that nomination
joined by the bonds Of mutual interests.
But against mere exponcnts of local inter-
csts, and of all that is. oppressive to the
great mass of the people. the Democracy
of this district is prepared to wage bitter
war. WaslIburn is the little old man of
the sea; with his legs once Tapped Ground
the peoples neck they are enchained for
ever. Is there single honorable, patriotic
Republican la this district, outside of the
machine with its dcbased contingent, who
will hesitate to vote for the Democratic
nominee in preference to the two so-called
Republican office seekers whose only
claim to election is regularity of party
endorsement which neither can substan-
tiatcs With our present faith in the intel
ligence and Independence Of our people
we think not.
