JUDGE A. A. absBY.

The Jeffersonian test of u mans fitness
for Office is generally admitted to be the
true one and before we. made up our mind
to support Judge Gunby for Congress we
asked ourself the questions ''Is he
honest? Is he capable Is he faithful to
answered for him.
He is honest he is capable ho is faith
full to the Constitution.
We do not say that there are not other
gentlemen before the people aspiring for
Congre; siona1 honors possessing these
great qualities, but we do believe that in
addition to these Judge Gunby is the most
fit man yet spoken of to represent this
district in Congress.
He is a profound jurist, a learned
scholar and ia abreast with the most
enlightened thought Of the day upon all
questions affecting the people.
He stands upon the Chicago platform Of
the Democratic party q tariff reformer, he
believes in the forfeiture of unearned land
domain for settlers he believes in the inn
provement Of the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries and the protection OF the country
from overflow he believes in national aid
to education. y-et
All theset questions are o: vital interest to
the people Of the 9Th district, and render it.
necessary that we should have man OF
decided ability in Congress-.
Judge Gunby is sound upon all OF tliem
and he has the courage of his convictions
and tho ability to express his opinions
He is native and TO the manner born, life
long Democrat and with no blot upon his
private or public life.
We present his name to the people of tho
5th district, not that he has "claims" upon
You or the party, for if he has been loyal TO
Democracy, the people and good govern
ment, he has but done his duty as citi-
zen and such duty is done without u qnes-
ton Of reward, but because he is sound,
pure. able Democlat and would make a
good Congressman.

THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMIT
TEE.

The action Of Mr.. Crandail's Com
mittee at RayviIIe last Saturday is not
approved by the people but will be
acquiesced In for the sake Of peace and
harmony in the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party.
Had Mr.. Crandaii and his friends
desired to act in accord with public
opinion and Democratic precedent
rather than in the interest of favo.
rite the Cleveland vote would have
been adopted as the basis Of represen.
tatiou. On that basis none but Demo-
Gratis would have been allowed a voice
ia Democratic Convention and it
would have been equitable, right and
just to all portions of the district.
But we do not care to have the
scenes or the last campaign re.enacted;
therefore we ask that the action of
MIR. Crandail's committee be acquiesced
in. Let the campaign be conducted in
fair and honorable way; let every
man support his choice and grant
every other man the same privilege ::
In other words, let It's alay all bad feel.
ing in the party aud do away with
factions. Let every Democrat be pre,
pared to support the nominee of the

TME MEXICAN BAND
Engaged for the EXpOsitiOm-.Ma a
a Bonded Warehouse.

Engaged for the EXpOsitiOm..Made
Bonded Warehouse.
The contract has been executed ana the
famous Mexican band will electrify the con-
course of people expected to attend the first
Minneapolis Industrial Exposition. A tele-
gram, received from w. G.. Byron at the City
of Mexico, announced reduction OF the
terms hitherto proposed, and that the band,
with flfty-four pieces, can be secured Tor
$1,000 per month, with transportation and
subsistence. Instructions were telegraphed,
the contract was executed and Byron is en-
route home. 1t is estimated that the total
expense of this band will be not less than
5000, but the fame of the band is so general
and so electric that it is held the advertise
ment is well worth the cost.
FORM FOR A BONDED WAREHOUSE.
The directorate yesterday took the neces-
Sary procedure to make the Minneapolis In
duStrial Exposition bonded warehouse OF
the United States, and to secure a transfer to
this warehouse of the first consignment of
the CeSnola collection of casts. now in bond
at st. Paul. 1t appears that some mistake
has occurred, and Collector Harrington finds
it now necessary to await instructions IRON
Washington before the casts can be delivered
for exhibition without the payment OF duty.
The petition in relation to making bonded
warehouse of the Exposition has been
accepted at Washington, and all that was
necessary was to execute the proper bond.
The board designated MessrS. Washburn, Gale
and Merrill to act in their behalf, and these
gentlemen will go to St. Paul, probably to-day,
to execute it.
is THE DOME NECESSARY?
Bills aggregating So, 1886 were ordered
paid at yesterdays meeting of the Exposition
directors after which the board devoted itself
to considering how to bestow the immense
crowd which it is expected will visit the city
during the continuance of the big show. An
outside organization proposed to canvass the
city, secure list of good boarding houses.
and keep it convenient, but it wanted the
official Endorsement of the board, and wanted
all expenses but canvassing paid by the
board. This was in substance agreed to.
Capt. DAILY applied for the appointment Of
chief of the Exposition police, which was re-
ferred to the executive committee. Mr..
Regan asked that the building committee re-
port at the next meeting, on the advisability
OF doing away with the proposed dome over
the main entrance. He thought it useless
and expensive. and thought it might easily be
dispensed with. The request was granted.

A RELIC OF THE STRIKE.
Mayor Ames Presented With a Gold

Headed Cane by Car Drivers.
The adverse criticisms to which Mayor
Ames has been exposed because Of the posi-
tion he assumed of arbitrator, and his refusal
TO resort to coercion during the street car
drivers strike has occasioned considerable
indignation among the workingmen, and the
mayor has been in receipt of a number of
testimonials and warm Endorsements of his
course. Last evening committee from the
Street Car Drivers union waited upon him.
and delivered the following resolutions,
adopted by the union at its Monday night
meeting:
Resolved That we tender our thanks to Mayor
Ames for refusing to use the police force to intim
idate working men, who were peaceably endeavor-
ing to gain their rights when their seats were
taken away by the street car company, in the late
difference; and we indorse the principle of nom
interference between employer and employe lex
cept to preserve the peace), upon which Mayor
Arnes acted upon said occasion.

The Building Committee Expresses
Itself--Hnterestins Statistics.
The Exposition progress has reached that
stage at which there is q constant fresh out
lay of money at every point. Some of the
contracts made every day are OF general in
terest from their statistical character, as
showing the immensity of the undertaking.
For instance, it will cost So, 500 for rent alone
of the lighting apparatus. This will consist
gallery to cost $500, and about $50 arc lights
at % cents per night, or about S2,S00, with
$500 for wiring the building. The Brush
company has the contract for all this. The
other recent contracts are for skylights and
roofing, the successful bidders being Grygla
& Selden and Crittenden. The main skylight
will be single and will cost So, 100. The double
skyight for the art gallery will cost the same.
Corrugated iron for ceiling purposes will cost
1925. The main roof, warranted for ten
years, will cost 81 900, and the art gallery
roof will cost about 81 900 at the rate of 81. SO
square.
Messrs. Gale and Bracket, of the building
committee, both express themselves as en-
tirely confident the building will be ready on
time. The calculations are very closely
drawn, and the work thus far has progressed
as expected, and there is no reason to doubt
the concluding labor will be as promptly dis
patched. SERIOUS storms and labor troubles
alone can prevent our being ready" said
they, land there is no reason to anticipate
either" Other members of the board are
equally confident the Exposition will be
opened on time. It is now only matter of
weeks until August 20 shall have arrived. y
