and discharged revolver, whereupon Pro-

fac ulty and students is of long standing, the
latter having been very aggressive. There
were no arrests.

OUI' THEIR own MOUTHS,
WaShburn'S Friends Testify That He is
Corrupt.
HOW HE WAS FIRST NOMINATED.
Delegates Bought i'm the Most Shameful
Manner.

When VIM. d. Washburn sought to go t.
congress in 1873 he first secured an unfai
advantage over DR.. Stewart by having th
convention called at an unprecedent edl,
early day. The convention was early il
July. and the call was made in May. Con
gress was in session, and DR.. Stewart wa
at his post during his first term. By al
party usage he was entitled to the endorse
ment Of a second term. But the supercil
ious kid-glove. candidate could not wait
and having secured call in May, he i'm
mediately proceeded to buy up county con.
yentioDs and pack the district convention
prior 70 DR.. Stewart being able to return
to look after his canvass. This prelimina-
ry canvass was so shamefully corrupt on
Bill Nashburn's part that it disgusted a
great many of his own party, and Repub-
iican correspondents and Republican
newspapers denounced him.
We give q few specimen bricks taken
from The now jealous Washburn organ.
They we're published originally in 1873:
To the Editor OF the Pioneer Press:
Up to last Monday DR.. Stewards friends
felt sure of carrying the city and village of
Duluth for the doctor by large majority
The Washburn manipulators became
alarmed They wanted help and (a) change.
kilograms were sent off, and help came
from St. Paul in the shape of one of the
1uryme1 IN the Page impeachment trial
Hon. Z. e. L. The change came from
Minneapolis IN a Martin box. By lubrica-
ton. the soreheads (whom Stewart had
been unable to privide for on account of
civil service reform) by the potent assist
ance OF the help and liberal use of change
from the Martin box, effected a revolution
IN Nashburn's favor. Persons who were
Stewart men in the morning, were work
ing strong for Washburn in the afternoon.
L DO not know that there was any money
used OF my own knowledge, but to per-
son perched among the leavy branches of
monarch of the forest it assimilates that
way and we generally Judge a tree by
It's fruits. Doctor Stewart has been slauph
tered in the house of his friends in the
place which he has always befriended and
done more to aid than any previous mem
Der. Why was he thrown over against all
former usages of the party? Echo an

inducement for a man who believes in
honesty in politics to aid in his election

Ii the Tribune means to say the Repub-
llcans of this district would be bound to
obey the DEGREES of a convention packed
by dishonest means, we have the honor to
disagree with it; if it means to say that
the independent candidacy of DR.. Stewart
under such circumstances would have no
support, it knows better; it would have
support enough to smash the pine ring
machine and clear the way for honest poli-
TICS III the future; if it means merely r.
say that Mr. Washburn's fri~--,Io nave not
been using improper or dishonest means
to pack the convention, that is the question
at issue. We have not sufficient informa-
tion on that point or, rather, our iuforma-
ton is too contradictory to enable US to
form decided opinion at present. We
know that some rery dishonest men haze
been managing Mr. Washburns cdncaSS,
and we know that they have immense pc
cuniary interests at stake in his election
interests SO great that they could aceu of-
ford to spend tens Of thousands Of dollars
to hare congressman an Washington
aChon they could rely on to protect them
from exposure and from the apprehended
necessity of being called upon to answer
for the frauds they have committed, and
by which they have profted. We know
that some of these men have been the
most active agents and friends of Mr..
Washburn in the canvass which has been
going on for the last six or seven months
in his interest. They have been his ardent
friends for years. This being the state of
facts, we must be excused from yielding a
too ready credence to the assumption that
the canvass which has been publicly il
lustrated by the disgraceful thickness ex-
hibitea by the congressional committee
has been otherwise conducted with the
scrupulous fairness the Tribune pretends.
