DULUTH AND THE CONGRESSMAN.
The Duluth News Tribune: comment
ing upon an article from this paper stat.
ing that in case the Duluth republicans
cannot make selection Of candidate for
congress without importing the interests
of the party, the Brainerd convention
will take the matter in hand and select a
candidate outside that city. saws:
Perhaps the wishist that Duluth should
become engaged in bitter contest over
the support OF this county for the con-
gressional nomination, and so the editor
OF that paper alreadv sees it. To be sure
there is some warmth in the contest now
going on in this county. All the repub-
licans do not think alike. and those en-
gagged on either side are more or less
earnest in their efforts to make support
ers and votes for their respective friends.
Some things have happened and some
arguments have been used which are to
be regretted and which do not tend to
make the most pleasant feeling towards
opponents. But Notwithstanding that,
the republicans OF Duluth are earnest in
their position that a Duluth man be
ve3tien shall have been held aud it's de-
cision given, the republicans from other
paris 1.-THE district will see that the man
chosen by St. Louis county republicans
has the hearty support OF all the party
here. We say all there may be some
sore hearts, some disappointed people,
and they may desire to nurse their sores
a little while. but they will all tall into
asx1 -. a
for the man with the most votes in the
county convention. This is not year
for republican kickers. st. Louis county
has had such kickers in the past, she had
some two years ago when they bolted
Judge Searle and voted tor q democrat,
but they are now sorry for what they
done. and most Of them are repentant
and on the mourner's bench, promising
never to do it again. The nominee OF
the republican party for the Sixth dis
trict this year will be Duluth man. aud
will have over 5000 majority in st.
Louis county. Some OF our people say
it will be over 5000. but we will be con-
sentative IN making our estimate. The
vote of the county will Be from $4,000
g.t two thirds of all the votes. Our
IL
please refrain from projecting split III
this county. They do not care, we
know. to prove themselves false pro-
phets.
So far from the wish being the father
o. the thought, the HERALD has conc ,ded
to Duluth from the first the naming ul
the republican candidate for congress. II
believes that the best interests of tie
party SO demands. providing that Du'
luth will present solid front at the polls
for the candidate of its own selection
But it adheres to its former assertion
that if bitterness lie engendered in its
preliminary campaign to an extent that
shall seem highly probable that such
candidate shall have factional opposi
ton at the polls threatening defeat, then
and in that case, the nominating conven-
ton should and Will ignore Duluth's
claims and Duluth's schisms and nomi
nate a man from some other locality
who would enlist the warm and cordial
support OF the entire district. including
both factions, il such there be. in Duluth
There is nothing prophetic in this de-
claration-it is simple statement OF a
plain condition OF things based upon the
supposition that the convention will act
reasonably, sensibly and Loyalty to its
party.
