Tho Most Potent Cause Of WindOm's
Defeat.
Mr.. Window and Mr. WINDOWS friends
deemed themselves justified in making
an active and open campaign against him,
because Mr. Dunnell had written let
ter saying that he expected to be candi-
date for the United States Senate. This
was the initial. and, as the result proved,
the fatal blunder of Mr.. WINDOWS sena.
torial campaign; and it arose from that
lack of magnanimity to his political op-
ponents which is the most serious deft Ct
in Mr.. WINDOWS political character. He
could never forgive Dunnell, as he could
never forgive anybody else, for daring to
aspire to succeed him in the Senate. 1t
was this Jealous and selfish egotism-to
speak plainly about it-intensified by
long and uninterrupted career of politi-
cal successes-and which was illustrated
by his singular discourtesy to the success
full candidate the other day-which did
more to defeat Mr.. Window than any
other cause, for it aoas all Dunnetl's doing.
He scas the author Of the Sabin boom, or at
least laid the foundations for the super
structure. He has been revenged for his
defeat at Rochester by Window, and
went back to Washington last night exul-
ting in his malignant triumph-with Win
dom's scalp dangling from his belt. If
Window had been large enough to have
let Dunnell alone. instead of ostenta-
tiously marking him for slaughter be
cause he feared in him a possible rival
for the senate, he would have walked ov.
er the course without any difficulty. For
the petty jealousy and domineering dis
position which he exhibited IN this mat
ter, not only set all Of Dunnell's friends
upon his track like bloodhounds, but dis
gusted many of his own friends in the
First district, who grew weary of the
eternal strife of the two factions, and
were very lukewarm in WINDOWS support,
as the result showed. OF all the causes
of WINDOWS defeat, this was immensely
the most pOtent.-Ftoneer Press.

sailed with the American Salt, SIS; second
best, so.
Now let the creamery men, farmers or
dairymen enter the list for the above pre-
miums. A fine exhibition room will be
provided and butter can be sent to H. c..
Howard, at Mankato, Mimi, with proper
instructions how to enter it. Should other
premiums be offered, due announcement
will be made.
1t is hoped, that the butter makers
all through the State will make an exhi
bit of their product. as the published re-
ports Of the Association will be spread
broad cast over the land, and these will
give creamery men and dairymen good
advertisements.
1t is expected that the silver cup men
toned above, will be sent in few days to
John c. Noe, Secretary Of the Southwes-
tern Land and Immigration Association,
at Mankato, for exhibition.
