MORGAN VS.. GRAVES. t h t tn e
Southern Minnesota section was not
solid for Morgan. Mr.. Flynn felt COLI
would divide their votes between the
two candidates. MI. Knox regarded
Col. Graves selection, as strong
probability. MI. Estes on the other
| hand, was equally confident for
Mr.tMorgan. Despite strenuous efforts
made to prevent it, the senatorial fight
is being dragged into that of the speak
ership. The Washburn men are now
openly championing Morgan, while the
strongest Sabin leaders are for Graves.
Quite a little Of Donnelly'S strength, it
/ is claimed, will go to Graves also. Out
of fourteen senatorial districts repre-
sented at the Merchants yesterday.
eight declared themselves for Graves
andlsix for Morgan. The presence OF
Capt. Castle in the lobby for several
days past has caused some commend.
He said to the GLOBE yesterday:
II am only here to do something for
my friends. | favor Col. Graves for
speaker and Gen. Washburn for SEN
atOr. / am not after any Office for my
self. think the legislature this winter
will cut down the oil inspectors fees to
point where the office will not be
worth much. 1t would have been done
two years ago but for misapprehensions
existing"
PHI. Kelly floats about the lobby
every morning with an eye on Senator
Sabin. He is booked as a mild Wash
burn supporter and strong advocate
for new man-if such one can be
found.

may enlighten him:
TO the Editor of the Globe.
HURDAL Fillmore County. Mimi. Dec. 81,
l8Se.-Afler discussing the senatorial queS-
ton at its last meeting (Dec. 20. 1851 the
Bloomfield Farmers alliance drafted and
adopted the following:
To the Honorable Legislative Members
from Fillmore County: The Bloomfield
Farmers alliance would respectfully call
your attention to the pending election of
United States senator. AS citizens of the
great and growing state OF Minnesota, we are
anxious that the men who are TO represent
us in the national congress are such as will
do honor to themselves and the state they
represent, Men of large intellectual capac-
ity and moral worth Men who sympathze
with the common people. and know their
senatorial honors win fall miserably shorti if
measured by such standard. The fame OF
W. d. Washburn. whose praise is sung by
some newspapers in every county, doubt
lessly for SO much per line. has reached even
this part of The state. What has Washburn
ever done to merit any gratitude or honor
from the people of Minnesota? He was one
OF the leading members of the old Millers'
association of Minneapolis that feeced the
poor farmers of this state so cruelty. He is
with railroad schemes
last feat being, as president of the Minneapo-
lis & Pacific railroad, to issue over S400O,-
900 of fraudulent watered stock under the
name or income certificates. and this in di
rect violation of law passed by the last leg
islature, and contrary to the pledges of the
Republican party two years agO-that wa
tered stock should be eliminated from rail-
road capital. The proud state of Minnesota
should not send men to Washington who will
likely help whitewash Credit Mobilier
swindles and defend and fortify trusts and
monopolies. or doze beside Stanford, Paine.
Paddock and the rest of the money bags.
We have enough railroad presidents, railroad
attorneys and railroad lobbyists in our legiS-
1atiye assemblies now, and the fewer we
have the better we are on.
Therefore resolved That this Alliance
Endorses the Hon. Ignatius Donnelly as its
choice for United States senator. and that we
to use their vote and influence in his behalf.

The house. viz: John r. Howard, Fred
&. Warner, c. P. Carpenter and Robert
Deakin. The quartette are on the
ground, with Messrs. Howard and
Warner running neck and neck. Both
are popular, both have had long
legislative experience, and either
would grace the clerks desk. Mr..

seems probable since he has been per-
soually solicited to permit his name to
lie used. Fred Warner will be first as
sistaht clerk if he does not defeat How
ard. Mr.. Carpenter and Mr.. Deakin
have as yet made no visible Roadway
toward success. although minor positions
tmay fall to their lot.

The simple announcement that Mr..
Window was in st. Paul has been Suf-
ficient to bring in from all quarters Of
the state men VINO once rallied under
his standard. The first to arrive was
the authenticated Thomas Pugh. of
Mankato, formerly of the Fargo land
office by the grace OF Dir. Window.
Mr.. Pugh is now all enthusiastic sup
porter OF Mr.. Sabin and considers his
chances of success more than good.
Despite reports to the contrary he
thinks that a majority of the Blue
Earth delegation will support Mr.
Sabin. In the afternoon DR.. Wedge ar
rived from Albert Lea, merely to look
on. he said, and not to take any active
part.
When Mr.. Window venturad down
into the lobby swarm of Washburn
men surrounded him. Eugene Hay
