You are hereby requested to assemble in

entitled TO two delegates, to place IN nom
inatiOn candidate for congress. In taking
this step we feel that We are forced TO de-
part from our accustomed policy. We be-
lieve in free, open and unrestricted mar
ket, and that our surplus markets be dis
posed of under this broad and oDen princi-
pie in the markets of the world. and we
demand a line of policy that will allow us
to purchase our supplies Ill the same free
and open manner. Therefore we are in
favor of a tariff for revenue only. Con-
gresham Wakefield, assisted by Nelson,
White and Straight. have ever recorded
their votes in favor of this principle, and
they have also stated that their votes were
east not only in accord with their views but
also in Difference to the expressed opinion
of the Farmers alliance of the state. This
is so marked as to become known in Wash
ington and throughout the East as Mime
sofas expressed opinion. The First and
Fifth Republican district conventions and
the First district Democratic convention
have adopted platforms in accordance with
our expressed line of policy. But in the
Second district the Republicans have given
us a candidate with straight protection
principles upon platform, which ifiit means
anything means line of policy directly
opposed to the producing masses of the
Northwest, and is an insult to the farmers
and workingmen of Minnesota. We wish
to express our thanks and appreciation of
the honest efforts of Hon. j. b. Wakefield
in our behalf. but cannot do so by casting
our votes for this man. whose expressed
opinion is so dramatically opposed to that
of Mr.. Wakefeld'S and antagoniStic to the
best interest of the Northwest.

NEW PSHlR REPUBLICANS
They Meet i'm Convention and Nomi-
mate a State Ticket.


CONCORD. N. H., Sept. 1.-The Re-
publican state convention assembled this
morning with large concourse of dele
gates. The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock by Chairman Gallinger. Hon.
Mason A. Tappan was chosen permanent
chairman. In his address to the cOnven-
ton he said that the contest about to BEEN
tered into is forerunner of the great con-
flict of 1888. when the people OF this coun
try will be called upon to decide whether
her destinles shall be longer entrusted to
the care of those who short time since
sought to destroy her. The election of
Cleveland was one of the greatest blessings
every bestowed upon the country, as it
demonstrated that the Democratic party as
at present organized, is utterly incapable
of governing the United States. The re-
turns from Vermont and Maine, he said,
indicate clearly that
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY is STILL ACTIVE,
aggressive and successful. The speaker
then made special point that the Demo
cratic party is entirely controlled by South
erners, and the negro element is practically
thus kept solid. and the North is beaten
by this fraud. The Democrats dare not
openly and honestly meet the question of
protective tariff and free trade in the press,
in congress or on the stump The Demo-
Gratis are hopeful of success in the state
through the Prohibition party. but they
will be disappointed because Of their atti-
tude in favor of licenses The inactivity
of the national administration in the matter
of the Canadian fisheries was severely COM
mented on by the speaker. Mr.. Tappan
said the spectacle was presented in this state
of the temperance people playing into the
hands of the Democrats. If the temper
ance people desire to prohibit the sale of
liquor. the law upon the statute books is
strong enough. In any town where public
sentiment desires it, the sale can be stopped.
Col Tappan spoke for an hour and ten
minutes. The committee on credentials
reported 500 delegates present. A ballot
was taken for candidate for governor.
which resulted as follows: Whole number
cast sol; necessary for choice 396; Charles
II. Sawyer, of Dover. 1875; David Ell. Good
ell, Antrim, 1855, and Martin A. Haynes 1.
Col. Sawyer was declared the nominee, and
the nomination was made unanimous.
