Ever since the nomination of that gal
liant, old soldier, Capt. w. H. Harries,
OF Houston county. for congress by the
Democrats of the First district, the Re-
publican managers have been scheming
to secure the nomination of some promi-
nent Democrat. like John Furlong. of
Austin. by the Farmers Alliance. The
defeat of Gen. Baker gave the Dunnell
heelers little ammunition, but their
scheme will fall through, as Gen. Baker
declares that Capt. Harries is perfectly
acceptable to the farmers of the First
district, and stands on their platform.
MIR: Furlong. it is safe to say, could not
be induced to accept the Alliance nomi-
nation. In this connection, Hon. Tom
Bowen, of the Duluth News, has pub
lished all editorial that should be read
by farmers in the First district. 1t is
as follows:
Among the many rumors of the campaign
and there is very little besides rumors in
1t so far-is one to the effect that a move
ment is on foot to nominate an Alliance cam
dldate IN the First district, and John j. Fur
long, OF Mower county, is to be the man. 1t
is said that Gen. Baker is disappointed be-
cause the Democrats did not indorse him in
the Second, and that he will retaliate by 60
ing into the First district to assist in placing
an Alliance candidate in the field for con-
gress. This step is presumed to be taken be-
cause there was all implied understanding
that the Democrats would indorse Baker.
while the Alliance men in the First district
would reclprOcate the favor by indorsing the
Democratic nominee for congress. But,
while Furlong is member of the Alliance
executive committee, it is scarcely probable
that he will lend his name to the use of
those who want revenge An Alliance NOM
ination in his district IS lust what the Dun
nell men want. and as Frrlong is q Demo
crat he will be apt to stay out of the game.
To-day the Democrats of the Fifth
congressional district will meet at Little
Falls and name their candidate for
congress. There is little doubt that
this man will be Hon. A. j. Whiteman,
OF Duluth, who four years ago was
elected to the state senate from one of
q IL,
trlcts in the state. When Senator
Whiteman is duly entered in the
race the people of the Fifth dis
trlct will have no less than
four candidates to choose from
when they come to voting for man to
represent them in congress. EX-Lieut.
Gov. Gilman, of st. Cloud, yesterday
gave it out that he had decided to an
nounce himself as an independent can
dldate for congress. This action, he
said, lie had been compelled to take by
reason of invitations from prominent
men of all parties who are disappointed
with the action of Mr.. Comstock on the
tariff question.

Hon. Halvor E. Boon, the present

Off ce via the Alliance-Prohibitio

ing over the political field. He is one
of the brightest and shrewdest politi-
clans in old Otter Tail, and, in addition
possesses lots of nerve. He was nomi-
mated for register of deeds by the Farm
in the summer. Had he then
declined this nomination, as did
several of his weakened brethren, he
could have had the Republican nomina-
alton. But he and Hon. John b. Hompe
refused to bow low before the corrupt
gang which has so long been plumber

Alliance. And they're going to be
elected, too, when election day rolls
around.
