done up by some of his pretended
friends and workers in the interest of
certain Minneapolis man, who is figur-
ing on coming III at the proper time

worked is as follows: A great pretense
is to be made by this party of aiding
Washburn's election, but good care is to
be taken that he shall lack the requisite
number of votes. After Washburn's
defeat is assured, this party expects to
enter the field as dark horse and ask
for Washburn'S support in return for
the work which he is supposed to have
done for him, as long as he had any
show of an election.
