The negroes Of Alabama petit
toned Gov. Oates to look after
their interests, in having laws
passed to prevent lynching, to
have just accommodations in trav-
cling, to have a fair proportion Of
the school fund and in other ways
to be given the privileges accorded
the average American citizen.
From the nature Of the petition,
the negro, evidently, feels that his
emancipation is not complete.

WILL some white souled advo-
cate Of primary elections in the
country as well as in the cities
answer a few questions? We ask
simply for information. Is the
system to apply to all elective Of
fees? Certainly the selection Of a
president, a governor or a con
gresham is of as much Importance
as the selection Of a coroner or
county surveyor. Under the law,
there are four political parties
whose candidates are entitled to
place on the official allot-Repub-
lican, Democratic, Populist and
Prohibition. Must each of these
political parties hold primary cleo
tions? Is it not fact that in many
election precincts two Of the par
ties could not provide, from within
the ranks Of their own party, vot
ers enough to act as judges ane
clerks Of a primary election? II
1896 president is to be elected
and presidential candidates arr
generally nominated in June O

fcers are nominated later, ane

MARTIN COUNTY Sentinel: So
far as the country districts are con-
cerned the Australian ballot sys-
tenn has entirely done away with
the the necessity of a primary elec-
ton law. If the cities and larger
towns need it, let them have it, but
the rural communities already have
enough politics, thank you, with
out doubling the dose.

FAVORS WASHBURN.
MIR. VIM. j. Blakley Tells Why Mr.. Wash
burn Should be Returned to the
Senate.

Senate. !
LAWRENCE, MIMI, Dec. II, 1894. |
Ed. Union: Will you permit a few
words in your paper in behalf of the |
best and most influential representative
this State has had in the United States !
congress since the days of Alexander
RamSey-I refer to Hon. VIM. D.
Washburn. The papers tell us that
there is an effort being made to down
him to put some nonentity in his
place. Mr.. Editor, I have known Mr..
Washburn for years; knew him when
he first went to congress. Some peo-
pie call him a cold FLOODED autocrat.
I have always found him to be a high
minded, approachable gentleman, al
ways ready and willing to assist men in
humble circumstances. Let me give
you an Instance: Three years ago,
wished to see him on business of i'm
portance to me, but not to him. There
were at least half a dozen of the most
prominent citizens of Minneapolis in
the main Office waiting for an audience
with him. told the clerk that would
call again, that Mr.. Washburn would
have no time for me when so many
others desired to speak with him. Just
then Mr.. Washburn stepped out of the
inner Office, and overheard what I
said to the clerk He motioned to me,
took me by the arm and lead me into
his private apartments and said, Estate
1 your business and as briefly as possible,
for you see I am in somewhat of a
i hurry; those other fellows can afford
to wait few minutes. I did state
my business and it took me 20 minutes
to do it. My business was in behalf Of
myself and neighbors at Mile Laos.
He listened to me patiently, made a
memorandum of what I said and in
formed me that you (Mr. DUNN had
/ seen him the day before, and that he
had assured you he would do every
thing within his power to help the set
tiers, and he gave me the same assur
ance. That is only one of many Incl
dents might relate concerning him
You know how he kept his word
: Every settler in this region knows
!, We owe Senator Washburn debt O
gratitude. Hundreds Of other poo,
, settlers in Minnesota owe him a debt O
gratitude.
Q Last November I voted and WORKED
z for the Republican candidates for tn
legislature, not simply because was
Republican, but mainly for the reasol
that I believed them to be friendly t
e Senator Washburn. We were give
r to understand that all our representa-
:. tives were heartily in favor of MI
g Washburn. If they are false to thei
pledges, we will remember them in tn
! future.

CHICAGO, May 3-Wheat ruled firm to-
day on a small business and closed with
an advance of q cent. The movement Of
the stocks is at last apparently coming the
way of the bulls. The Visible supply
gives evidence of a speedy reduction by
export. Although every foreign market
in the world informs the trade of this
country that they have already more than
enough from other sources, they continue
to receive about half of what they need
from the United States aud Canada.
These shipments are being felt in reduc-
tions in the stocks here and without an
overwhelming visible supply it was asked:
"W hat will the bears do?" Corn was firm
and gained u cent. May oats were like
wise 4 cent higher. Provisions are
slightly lower.
Wheat was firm but the receipts were
extremely small. Aside from the bearish
effects lett by the state bulletins regarding
the condition of the winter wheat and the
usual weakness of the cables, the situa-
ton was rather improved for the bulls.
The receipts were light and the shipments
liberal. There were reports that the army
worms were invading the wheat fields of
Texas and chinch bugs were paying their
respects to the plant in Kansas. The local

more long stuff did not come to help them
TO break wheat so that they might cover
their short sales. They began buying in
quiet way and the trade was
SO small that a moderate amount
OF buying was sufficient to
create a diversion in favor of the bulls.
There was also good inquiry for new
spring wheat for shipment at one cent per
bushel over May price and some was sold
at that early in the day. July opened "A
