ANOTHER BOLT.
The Recent Caucus Nominee Fig
ured Prominently in 1875.

ureU prominently III 1870.
All through the campaign there has
been great deal of talk relative to the
course of Mr.. W ashburn when he was a
candidate for the senate fourteen years
ago. and his friends declined to be
bound by the caucus. Senator Davis,
then governor. was the leading disturb
ing element at that time, and hence
Mr.. Washburn's part has not been so
generally remembered.
A Republican caucus was held on
Jan. IA. 1875, at which eIghty-three were
present, being every Republican in the
legislature. There were several ballots,
tha Ia St one standing:

An adjournment was then taken until
the next evening. The Davis men alb
sented themselves the second night, but
the Washburn men did not. The last
ballot that night stood:

WaShDurn ...................... az
The nomination of Ramsey was then
made unanimous. and it was claimed to
be binding, certainly on all present. es-
pecially as his 40 votes were majority
of all the Republicans in the legislature.
The WaShburn men, notably those
from Hennepin comfy, refused to abide
the decision of the caucus, five of them
voting for Washburn early in the fight.
In this way Senator Ramsey was de-
feated and finally Withdrawn. After
Ramsey's withdrawal Washburn spurt-
ed up to SO votes in the legislature,
when he, too, was withdrawn. But by
refusing to abide by the caucus he ac-
complished his object of defeating Ram
Sey.

MANY NEW SETTLERS.
A Move that Will Result in
Bringing Many New Settlers
to Morrison County. E

A. %. johnson 4 Co., the great immi.
grafton and land company that has
headquarters at st. Paul and branch Of.
fees at dozen smaller western cities,
has established an office at Little Falls,
in c. H. Hubert & Co.'s office, with
Henning Landau in charge. This firm
has purchased 10000 acres Of st. Paul
4 Northern Pacific railroad lands, most
ly in the section Of country tributary to
the new cutoff line, and they have
actively begun the work Of selling the
lands to settlers, and inducing immi-
grants to locate on them. This firm
does a very extensive work in this
line, and has secured homes for thou.
sands of settlers in the Far West. Dur
ing the past few years they have taken
families into Todd, Stearns and Sher-
burne counties, but have not in the past
given Morrison county much attention.
With their unequaled facilities for
reaching those who want new farm
homes, the settling of the tract Of coun-
try they are interested in will be very
rapid. The lands will be sold
at the same prices and on the same
terms as offered by the railroad COM
pany, and as the lands are taken by &C.
tual settlers, the adjoining lands will
also be occupied. The land they offer
for sale is Of superior quality, being in
a timbered section, and settlers who
make homes there are sure to meet
with prosperity. Within a year or two
hundreds of new settlers will be located
n parts of Morrison cou nty northwest
of Little Falls.

Fire !. rejection.

The committee on fire protection APP
pointed by the city council two weeks
ago met last evening. The members
are Hoffman, Wetzel, Butler, Schleus-
ener and Raslcot. There was division
of opinion last evening, as to what was
the best thing to do, some favoring
buying an engine and building cisterns.
It was finally decided to Investigate the
water works system, and w. A. Butler
was appointed a committee to see the
Little Falls Water Works company, and
obtain proposition for supplying fire
protection. Henry Rasicot and Fred
Hoffman were appointed committee
to visit St. Cloud and investigate the
system there, and John Wetzel and w.
A. Butler were authorized to investigate
the Sank Centre plant. r.
It would take at least SIS, 900 to get
an engine and outfit, and at the best the
protection wonld be limited and far
from perfect. The annual expense in
keeping the apparatus always in good
\
order, and competent man on hand
to operate an engine would also be
large. For water works the expense
would not be great, for any one year
and the protection would be the best
that has yet been discovered.
Of course the city is small and there
would be few il any private patrons of
the Water Works Co.. and until sewers
are put in and private demand for water
supply created, the terms for hydrants
cannot be as low as would be desired.
Considering the future prospects of the
city, however, it is probable that the
Water Works Co. would be willing to
make improvements somewhat in adj
vance Of the present demands if the
city also shows an apprecia-
ton of the benefits of good
fire protection, and a realization that
somewhat heavy burden for year or
two is necessary for the best interests of
tho propertv owners.
