North Dakota Republican,: The st. Paul
Globe says that Mr.. Hansbrough will be an
ornamental member Of congress. That
may be, but he will also be a useful mem-
ber. He is hard worker and attentive to
Dusiness-a man Of strict integrity, pos
sessed of ability and is true republican.
What more do the people of North Dakota
want in their representative.
Mr.. JOHNSON neglects to state in his card
in the Observer Of last week, some things
v hicn certainly have as direct bearing
up0nshis senatorial aspirations as the Ques-
ton whether he was correctly quoted by
the Plaindealer or not, among which we
might instance the following: He said in
giving the reasons why he determined to.
run for United States senator, that Mr.. b. G..
Hansbrough played dirt on him" in regard
to the Grand Forks land Office, and as q
consequence ito use his own words) 81
had but one Of three things 70 do, either to
bolt the republican party, to sulk In my
trust, or to run for United States senator"
Admitting that It is true (Which we doubt)
that Hansbrough deceived him in relation
to the land Office, his assumption denotes q
set OF principles, not certainly Of the
highest order, although eminently john
sonian, when he says that for this reason
he must either bolt, sulk or run for higher
Office than Hansborough aspires TO, in order
to sget even." johnson affirms that by .
trade with Fancher, in the constitutional
convention, he was given the apportioning
Of the representative districts, and with
the senatorship in view, app0rtioned them
so that they might Ill contain as large q
proportion Of Scandinavians as possible,
which vote he thought he could control.
We de not know whether johnson is stat
ing facts or not, but whether he is OF not,
he is making mighty bad showing for
himself.
