Returns from the township Elections.

The complete returns from the recent town
ship elections to the Republican State committee
show that SIG trustees were elected by the Dem
ocrats, AIS by the Republicans and II by the In
dependents, giving the Democrats plurality
over the Republicans of 38. In 1882 the Demo
Gratis had plurality of Sc and in 1880 of 40 The
result of the election shows that the Republicans
stand just about as they did in the last presiden
tial campaign year, which is regarded as pretty
sure indication that they will carry the State in
November by majority equally as large as in
$780, They have gained forty-eight townships
over the election of 1882, and the Democratic
plurality is two less than in 1880

SINCE Senator Mcmillan has ex-
pressed himself SO positively upon
the vacant Judgeship, declining to
accept the place in view of the unsat-
isfactOry complication likely to fol.
low, the Minnesota delegation in Con.
gress has been interviewed. 1t is
perhaps supelfluOus to say that each
member has first choice, and no two
choose the same, but as second or
compromise candidate. the delegation
was pretty unanimous for Gordon E.
Cole. That thr. Cole is gentleman
of eminent legal attainments, no one
who knows anything of his educatio
and wide practice will question, and
if naughty, .blOoded disposition
are attributes needed, together with
the other qualifications mentioned,
Mr.. Cole would be a perfect statue of
Judicial dignity upon the bench. But

have the honor of occupying the chair
vacated b, McCreary. But it seems
that Mr.. Cole is not the only man in
the state left for the vacancy. The
friends of General Sanborn of st.
Paul, ara coming to his assistance,
and the latest advIces are to the effect
that the Minnesota delegation, with
the exception of Maj. Strait, have
transferred their support from Cole
t. the General. But it is our Opin-
ion that Minnesota will not be troub-
led with furnishing real live subject
for he vacant seat on the bench.

it also for its continued expression of
confidence and trust. 1t is
the one pet hobby
of his heart to forward the interests of
the dairy. 1t may therefore be read
lily seen that all this confidence must
have been most gratifying to him. He
hoped that nothing which had been
said or done in this Convention would
affect their trust in each other and in
their officers, and that wherever might
be their future destination il would con-
vey with it the stimulus and new life
which it had received from Minnesota.
Thus closed the 18th annual conven-
ton of the Northwestern Dairymen's
Association, which may safely be pro-
uounced the grandest in the annals of
the society.

GARDNER G. HUBBARD made an
argument before the Senate commit.
tee on postofiices and postroads, Fri.
day, upon the general subject of pos
tai telegraph, and gave the Western
Union Company some severe thumps.
He said that "under the pressure of
discussion this company, according
to the admission of its president, has
been forced to begin the work of re.
ducing rates and improving methods
Between the years 1858 and 1878 the
average rates have been reduced from
$l.04 to 80 cents per message. Un-
der this reduction the number of
messages increased from 100000 to
240, 100000 per annum, and the prof.
its from 100000 to s3,5OO,OOO.
Then change had taken place in
the policy Of the Western Ulion
company. by which other lines had
been absorbed, and the reduction of
rates ceased. From 1878 to the pres
ent time the reductions were only
nine mills per message" People
who have taken the opportunity to
inform themselves upon the true
status of the Western Union, and it's
disregard for the rights of the public
to reasonable charges for the trans
mission Of messages, can have but
one mind on the subject, and that is,
that there is no greater monopoly ex.
listing IN this country than this very
same telegraph company. If it he

dress the constant outrages, through
excessive rates, that is now and
which has been for years thrust upon
the people by this grasping monopoly,
