The Whole Programme.
Pioneer Press, July 3, 1878. I


If the Tribune means to say the Repub-
hcans of this district would be bound to
obey the DEGREES of 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 poll
tics in the future; if it means merely to
say that Mr.. Washburn's friends have not
been using improper or dishonest means
to pack the convention, that is the question
at issue. We have not sufficient informa-
ton on that point-or, rather, our iuforma-
ton is too contradictory to enable us to
form decided opinion at present. We
know that some very dishonest men hare
been managing M. Washbuan's canrass,
and we know that they have immense Pc
cuniary interests at stake in his election
interests so great that they could ,ceU af-
ford to spend tens Of thousands of dollars
to hare congressman in Woshin0ton
tchom 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.

The Tricks Which Secured otter Tail
County.
To the Editor of the Pioneer Press:
The Republican county convention held
here to-day has just elected a Washburn
delegation. This convention was a most
striking offspring of that corrupt and bold
marketable system of political working.
introduced into this district during the
famous Averill- King campaign in 1873.
We are informed that our ex-sheriff, ser
geant-at- t-arms of the senate, candidate for
the senate, in conjunction with our ex-
auditor, superintendent of our city's most
fiOurishing Sabbath schools, who is also a
candidate for the senate, were on the
streets openly bidding for Washburn dele
gates, and offering to pay their expenses,
ETC., to and from Minneapolis.
Query: Are these expenses paid from
the Washburn swag, or from the balance
of the impeachment fund?
DIR. Stewart is not without friends in
this county, and could, at fair election
poll larger vote than any man in the
district. and for him to quietly submit to
the frauds and corrupt practices openly
reserted to in securing his defeat
is an injustice to himself
as we'll as to his friends and party. If the
independent stand taken by Alex. Fl. Ste
phens, in Georgia, be honorable, it is no
less hOnorabl for DR.. Stewart to take the
same Independent course in Minnesota
We believe this would result in DR.. Stew
arts defeat, as well as in the defeat of Mr.
Washburn; but to rid the district of po-
litical trickster who will stoop to inaugu-
rate and carry forward a campaign fraught
with the disgraceful practice of the present
one, would be to do more permanent good
for 1t than he could nope to do in any po-
sition Or under any other circumstances
The sentiment here, among DR.. Stewards
friends is. as expressed in your editorial of
the I'd, "A Threatened Imbroglio. With
DR.. Stewart for a leader in an independent
candidacy. the people of this district will
demonstrate the fact that no Jail bird from
Manitoba can force upon the Third con-
gressional district an incubus so unsa-
worry. FOREIGNER.

OUT THEIR own MOUTHS.
Washburn's Friends Testify That He is
Corrupt.
HOW HE WAS FIRST NOMINATED,
Delegates Bought in the Most Shameful
Manner.

When VIM. d. Washburn sought to go to
congress in 1878, he first secured an unfair
advantage over DR.. Stewart by having the
convention called at an unprecedent edly
early day, The convention was early in
July, and the call was made in May. Con-
gress was in session, and DR.. Stewart was
at his post during his first term. By all
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 a call in May, he i'm
mediately proceeded to buy up county con-
ventions and pack the district convention,
prior to DIR. Stewart being able to return
to look after his canvass. This prelimina-
~ canvass was so shamefully corrupt on
Bill Washburn's part that it disgusted a
great many of his own party, and Repub-
ican correspondents and Republican
newspapers denounced him.
We give a few specimen bricks taken
from the now jealous Washburn organ.
They were published originally in 1878:
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
iurymen in the Page impeachment trial,
Hon. E. G. L. The change came from
Minneapolis III a Martin box. By lubrica-
tion- 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 Washburn's favor. Persons who were
Stewart men in the morning, were work
ing strong for Washburn in the afternoon.
do not know that there was any money
used of my own knowledge, but to a per-
son perched among the leavy branches of
monarch of the forest it assimilates that
way, and we generally judge tree by
its fruits. Doctor Stewart has been slaugh-
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
swers, why and how. Mr.. Washburn NAV
be good man, and have no doubt some
of our good citizens supported him con-
scientiously, but l have firm conviction
that the great force that produced the rev.
olution came out of the Martin box, and
if it was with the knowledge and consent
of Mr.. w. it certainly is not very strong
inducement for a man who believes in
honesty in politics to aid in his election.

Democratic Unity in New York Citu

special Telegram TO the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 26.-There seems little
reason to doubt that the Democracy of
this city will unite on a local ticket as well
as on the state ticket. The reason asst gned
for this by the leaders is that they do not
wish to impern the staae ticket by afford
ing an opportunity to some of the district
leaders to trade votes. Tammany hall.
the county Democracy, and Irving hall will
constitute the parties to the transaction.
John Kelly said to-day: "Tammany hall
will favor union on the local ticket. 1t
was expected by the Democracy of the
state that the union on the state ticket
would be followed by harmony in the city.
This will insure large vote for the state
ticket. II will remove all incentive to
trading and dickering on the part of those
who might be SO inclined"
sHow far will this union extend?"
Should it be carried into effect it will
probably include the Offices of mayor.

If it be true, as Stewart is said to have

to pack the convention, by corrupt and
dishonest means; if he can show this to
the public satisfaction; if it be true, as he
Is sand to have alleged, that the agents
or friends of Washburn have been system
atieaily slandering and misrepresenting
him, and heaping upon him all sorts of
coHtemptnous and malicious depreciation,
while expending large amounts to control
the primary meetings in Washburn's inter
est, he would be quite justified in taking
the position recently assumed by Alex.
Stephens, and in giving notice to the cor
rup wire-pullers and caucus manipulators
that he did not propose to be bound by
their action; in ignoring convention
packed by improper appliances in oppo-
s.tlon to the true choice of the Republi-
cans OF this district, and in appealing to
the Republican voters of the district to
vlndicate him from the aspersions. and
sustain him against the Vaccinations OF

said to have abundant proof that they
