for his kindness in forwarding my letters

A CORRESPONDENT from Winona, wrote
to the Pioneer Press last Saturday, that
Hon. Milo White was in the city. and
that he said: 80:
He returned from Washington TO look
after his dairy interests. He would have
the delegations from Olmsted. Fillmore
and Mower counties in the Republican
convention. He was solid with the
farmers, and pretty sure of the nomina.
ton and election. Leonard he declared
out of the race, and conceded to Lovely
Dodge county, to Gould Winona, and to
Mullen Wabasha. He did not place q
high estimate on Dunnell's strength.
Ha! ha! then Milo has three counties
sure, has he? And Mower is one of them.
May be, possibly, Mr.. White will find
himself mistaken 50 far as this county IS
concerned. No one but a political dema-
gogue would 60 around the country brag-
g:ng that he was "solld with the farmers "
