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 ssfighting
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 "fghting chance" and it has
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 are any pine
land jobs, if there are any schemes
Tor public plumber, 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 vote
for president in 1880, and for governor
n 1881:

The GLOBE is publishing letters from
prominent Democrats in the First district en-.
dorsing the proposition to make no Demo-

gramme. 1t will fail to receive Mr.. Dunnell IS

Will decline anything in advance there
need be no apprehension relative to his
course. He will not engage in a triangu-
lar contest, but if he can have clear
held without any Democratic candidate
being nominated, he will make the race
and defeat White and smash the Window
slate.

CHARLEY REED, the Chicago lawyer,

wants Congress to pass law directing

all claims for the services of the counsel

OF the late President Garfield. While
there is plenty of money in the treasury
for Congress to spend, it may be deemed

mperll their chances of reelection by

Mr. Macdonald gives the figures o

MIR. Macdonald gives the figures of
1880, but omits those of 1881, which ranks
far more an s'off year, than 1882. For
president the vote stood Garfield 15,442,
Hancock s,4O5. For governor it stood
Hubbard 1881, johnson $685.. 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 a 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 personal tribute to a gentleman
who ranks among men as 'the noblest
Roman of them all, - aud cannot and will
not be repeated for another.
So far as the lesson of these figures has
any value at all,i 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 alb
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 candidate of
their own is in the field Mr.. Nelson, too.
