to the withdrawal of G.. ii. Deere and
William Clendenin from the Moline

seris: &c. II. Deere has tired Of

Ainsworth." 1t goes on TO rap Mr..
Ainsworth bv referring to his former
residence in Henry county to which
the Union has never had any partic-
ular liking. much less this year,
when it is decidedly opposed to the
Gest imposition. The mutterings OF
the Union, however. are not likely
to have any effect on the republican,
of the upper end of the district who
are not disposed to yield at all times
and under all conditions to Gest and
his mouthpiece. the Union.

last week talking about the possibii-
tiles of the future, and gentleman
intimate with him and having his
confidence on some questions said he
had taken the matter under advise
ment and would make an early an
nouncement of his intention to enter
the race. A question first to be de-
termined, they said. was whether OF
not the governorship and the other
state officers had already been farmed
out or practically disposed of by the
party leaders in the conclusion oil
the senatorial contest. Some oi
them made careful inquiry on this
point. regardless of the candidacy oi

forts. including the viaduct, which it
is indisputed Gest sought to delay
and interrupt as far as possible.
Another remark as far from the
truth as the others is the one about
Gest redeeming democratic district
in 1886. The old Eleventh district
was cut out by republican leg
islature as republican district with
:, 900 to go on. and it was only the
Marsh McClaughry factional fight
that gave it to the democrats. When
that was abandoned by the nomina-
ton of a man not involved in the
feud. the district gave a republican
ma jority, but even that was over
whelmingly overcome by the retire
ment of Gest after two terms in con-
"ress by Hon. Ben I. Cable.

The string has been pulled again and
this time the anonymous correspond
ent is called Fair Play" who mani
tests his ignorance through the col
umns of the Union. He begins. fer
instance. with the preposterous
proposition that MANY friends OF
AIR. Gest recognizing the merits OF
the late Philip s. Post thought it
good politics to concede to him the
nomination in the new district" The
facts are that such of Gest's friends

The further statements of Pair

yress are ridiculously absurd. not
ffhe least of which is what he did for
the canal with the help Of Hender-

THERE'S WISDOM HERE.

The efforts of any newspaper to
build up town is practically null
lifted unless it is backed up by the
business men. A stranger turns
from the news columns Of a paper
to it's advertising pages, and if he
fails to find there the business
card Of the merchants and pro.
fessional firms, he comes to the
conclusion that the publisher is
not appr eciated, in which case it is
a good place for him to keep clear
Of. No town ever grew without
the active assistance Of it's news
paper. Nor can papers grow and
build up their localities without
the assistance Of the town. Bust
ness men should realize this and
remember in giving support to the
newspapers they are not only
building up their own business,
but helping support that which is
steadily working for the benefit Of
The whole community Unknown

WANT COMPETITION.

The Duluth Herald quotes with
approval some Of the protests
against the Great Northern .and
Northern Pacific onsolidation
published in the Transcript, 'and
with reference to the surprise ex.
pressed in this paper at the ap-
parent indifference in many To-
calities says:
The fact that the scheme is now
farther away than ever from sue.
cess probably accounts for much
Of the indifference by the public
to the danger Of such a com bina-
ton. The feeling that no such
consolidation can be legally made
has likewise caused the opposition
to remain quiet. The statu tes
prohibiting the consolidation Of
competing roads are clear and ex'
plicit, and they would be enforced,
no matter what plan OF consolida.
tion under one management
should be arranged. The people
of the Northwest want competi
ton in railway. service and after
the great effort they made to Sc
cure it they will not consent to
any union of their two greatest
railway systems.
The public can yet know but
little about the chances Of the
scheme, but it is certain that many
of the Northern Pacific security
holders and Mr.. Hill are still
negotiating in the matter, and the
danger will not be passed until it
is impressed on those security
holders and Mr.. Hill that they
will arouse the antagonism of the
Northwest if the deal is consum-
mated, and that the people would
find some way of making this
illegal effort to increase the value
Of their property very unprotit'
able. Every newspaper and every
citizen should unite in such a
protest as would make the North.
ern Pacific bondholders and Hill
understand that the Northwest
will retaliate if illegal ~combina.
tions are made.
