CLEARLY AN OUTRAGE.
Bob Dunn, although having ma
jority OF votes, was counted out in his
legislative contest by the combine. It
was clearly an outrage, and every
brother editor should paste list of the
men who voted against Mr.. Dunn in
their hats and when the time comes
give them a ''swipen where it will do
the most good.-White Bear Lake

PARTY VOTE SETTLED IT.
1t WILL be a matter of regret to the
numerous friends of Hon. r. c.. Dunn,
OF Princeton, to learn that the house of
representatives decided by a vote of ga
to AZ in favor of Mr.. Price retaining the
seat. From recent reports of the con-
test 1t was generally understood that
MIR. Dunn should have the seat. but the
house decided otherwise. It was nearly
party vote that settled the question.

REPUBLICANIsM HIS ONLY SIN.
The Dunn-Price contest for a seat in
the house was decided last Friday even
ing, and we are sorry to say adversely
to Mr.. Dunn. The Democrats made a.
party question Of it, and all but three
OF them stuck to Price. We never had
much faith in the wisdom of contesting
the seat in face of the Democratic-Al-
lance combine, but Mr.. Dunn had a
strong case, and his Republicanism was
the cause Of his defeat.-Elk River Star

TERRIBLE BURDENS.
Bob Dunn was defrauded of his seat
by strict party vote-only three
Democrats arising above narrow parti-
sanship. The preponderance of evil
dence was largely with the contestant
but ne is Republican appealing to
an anti-Republican jury. Bob can
stand it, if the combine can. Better be
right and wronged than be wrong and
a member of the Minnesota legislature
too. Terrible burdens!-Suuk Centre

MADE A GOOD FIGHT.
Bob Dunn, of the Princeton UNION.
was beaten in his election contest bv q
strictly ''party'' vote. Although it
was admitted by those of 1.-The COM
bine" that he was entitled to the seat
that has been usurped by Price. Bob
made good fight single-handed and
deserves credit for the manner in
which he conducted his contest. which.
had justice been done, would have
given him the seat he so ably filled in

ROBBED OF HIS SEAT.
Bob Dunn has been defeated in his
contest for seat in the legislature bv
almost a strict party vote. A few
Democrats and all the Republicans
voted in favor of him. The people of
the State believe that Bob was honestly
elected and that he has been robbed of
his seat. Judges Baxter and Searle
held that he was entitled to certifi-
cate OF election, and one of the legisla-
tive committee who afterwards voted
against him told parties that Dunn was
entitled to and would get his seat

AN ALLIANCE EDITORS REGRET,
Bob Dunn, the Princeton editor, who
has had more newspaper notoriety in
the past three months than ever Gov.
Merriam had and nearly as much as Don
nelly, has failed in his contest to Gain a
seat in the lower house of the leeisla-
ture. The vote was taken last Fri
day afternoon and resulted for Price 81,
and Dunn ~. It was a full Republican
party vote with four Democratic votes
for Dunn. Bro. Dunn will have to 90
back and edit his paper. Personally
we regret that Bro. Dunn did not sue
ceed.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
A DIFFERENT RESULT NOT EXPECTED,
On Friday last, by a vote of 81 to ~,
the Minnesota house Of representatives
decided that e. e. Price was entitled
to retain his seat, and r. G. Dunn
had no right to the seat. 1t was disap-
pointment to Mr.. Dunn and his many
friends although different result was
hardly expected. It is seldom that a
Legislature rises above party interests,
and although it was clearly demon
stated that Mr.. Dunn was elected, the
''combine'' refused to retire one OF it's
members from the house.-Ltttle Falls
