Congressman.
The city OF Anoka has two very good
and lively newspapers, both OF which
are labeled Republican. and both may
be set down as staunch and untaltering
in their party allegiance. But, sad 20
relate. this devotion to the same gods
has not had the effect OF bringing the
brethren 20 dwell together in unity ami
peace. II one supports certain gen
tleman for the party nomination. tho
other straightway finds another man,
and the merry war begins.
For some time past Editor
Pease. Of the Union, has been booming
his friend eX-Gov. \. Il. McGill for the
Republican gubeInatorinl nomination.
The Herald, for some reason, has taken
pains al times 20 throw cold water on
the McGill movement. and last week

Col. BObletcr's withdrawal from the
the contest for the nomination for state
treasurer opens new place for tho
Republican state convention 10 fin.
There is no doubt whatever that tho
popular state treasurer would be- able 20
carry of a fourth nomination II he
desired the honor. and 10 will he diff
cult for the coming Republican state
convention to select man so acccpta-
bic, not only 10 the German citizens OF
the state, but to all the people.
Several candidates have been men
toned already at least one
OF whom IS already IN the field. This
one is lion. j. II. Alderman, Of Carver
county. The latter has been member
OF the state legislature, and il at pres
ent on the Republican state central
committee; but he Will be opposed DY
many Republicans, because OF his re-
tusal TO serve on the state central com
mittee IN 1883 on the ground that GOV.
Merriam had received his nomination
unfairly. The other candidate has
always been a straight Republican, and
unless Gov. McGlll is made the nominee
for governor, stands an excellent chance
OF securing the hJEOr Theodore San
der, formerly assistant state treasurer,
is the gentlemen ana, while he has not
yet made up his mind whether or not 10
become candidate, he has many friends
who are already at work. OF course
there will be other candidates, among
whom Col William WcSteTman. eX-
mayor Of ST. Cloud. is prominent. The
gubernatOrlal nomination will have
great deal 70 do with settling this nom
inatiOn.
Charley Davis announcement ex-
cited no surprise. His friends had been
expecting it for nearly year last past.
The absolute refusal OF Lieut. Gov. Ives
u be considered candidate. which
came out but a short time ago. had SOME
thing TO do with Sir. Davis appearance
at this time.
The boom of Hon. Nate Kingsley, Of
Austin, for attorney general, seems 10
have the support Of nearly all the eau
didates for the Republican congressional
nomination IN the First district They
are glad 10 get him on. Of their way.
@l-
Col. G. II. Graves. OF Duluth. who has
just returned from Washington, where
he spent some time looking after the
interests of the Zenith City. was asked
whether he would be a candidate for
the Republican congressional nOmina-
ton In the Sixth district this year 10
this he replied that he was not a candi-
date. and would not be in the sense OF
seeking the office, but that he had al
ways been ready to serve Duluth IN the
past where he could serve her best. aud
II the people thought he could do some
thing for the Zenith City at Washington
he might be willing TO 20. OF one thing.
however, Col. Graves is certain. This
Is, that the congressman from the Sixth
district should be FROM Duluth.
There are no pending he said ''aud for
some time there will be questions Of legisla-
ton OF grave interest TO Duluth The whole
matter OF interstate commerce. Of deep water
ways to the sea ana Of transportation through
Canada. are All OF vital interest 10 Us. uud we
should be represented by some one who can
appreciate the importance Of these ques-
tons to Duluth. Then. too, Il congressman
