For congress Mr.. Borto has taken

itself outside of Duluth. Mr.. Canning
would not allow the Moorhead senator
to capture Norman county even, and the
latter will go into the convention with a

lance of Judge Stearns' and Senator
Comstock's forces, it does not look as
though enough votes can be obtained to
nominate the former, while the latter
could not if he would turn his strength

til the following Monday morning It
was one Of the best rains we have had in

gladness. The ground was already in
good condition for plowing, and this
ram makes assurance doubly suae Ford

crop this year, and with the large acre
age already planted our farmers must
