paper report of the Benton county
Republican convention: "There
was a decided sentiment among the
delegates in favor of Judge Paige
Morris, of Duluth, for the Repub'
lican congressional nominate ion.
A resolution endorsing him for the
nomination was only omitted from
the resolutions from the fear
that the Judge would not &C.
cept the nominations from con.

Morris has spoken two or three
times in Sank Rapids and has no
end of friends in that place and,
they are not confined to the Re-
publican party either.

Elk River Star News: Should it
be found expedient to select a Re-
publican candidate for congress-
man from the end of this district,
the most available man to push
would be Senator w. e. Culkin, OF
Wright county. Should Senator
Culkin become candidate he
would have the undivided support
of not only the legislative district
but most of the other counties in
this end of the district. Senator
Culkin is a sound Republican, a
bright man and would make a
brilliant campaign. In consider
ing candidates the politicians will
do we'll to figure on Senator Gull
kin as man who would have the
solid support of the southern end
of the district should he become a
candidate.

J. G. Flynn in a communication
in the Little Falls Herald says that
the opposition to Gov. Clough in
Morrison and Crow Wing counties
was because he appointed c. S.
Benson, Of St.. Cloud, on the game
and fish commission, instead OF a
Brainerd man. That is one of the
reasons why Gov. Clough carried
Stearns county SO easily. 1t is
good politics to stand by ones
Friends ST.. Cloud Journal Press.
The Republicans of Morrison
county who supported Lee for
governor did so regardless of any
appointments made or to be made
by any governor. The support of
a county should not be controlled
by any state appointments. As
the Journal. Press says, those mat.
tiers may have effected Stearns
county. It is easy to believe so.
The majority of the Republicans
of Nor, ison county gladly made an
effort to aid Mr.. Lee, and the use
of Democrats in Republican eau
cusses is all that prevented them
from being as successful as could

TONNES BELIEF.

Upon the return of G. A. Towne
from the St. Louis convention he
was given reception at Duluth,
and he made lengthy address to
his townsmen. He closed his
speaking with the following re-
marks:
believing, fellow citizens, that
this great question Of tho coinage
system of the United States is in.
finitely a greater question than.
any other, believing that it sur.
rounds and involves the other
questions, believing that without
proper solution Of it no tariff
system can possibly bring even
temporary prosperity to this coun.
try, believing, furthermore. that
the Republican tariff system will
prevail in this country from now
on, whatever party is in power in
this country, and that it is not in
any real danger at all, believing
that the question VIII ether the
great common masses of the fellow
citizens of the United States shall
be allowed to manage in their own
interests the destinies Of this
country, or whether it shall be
committed to those who have a
corner on gold, 1 have cast my

over. [ meyer was in better
physical health in my life. In the

Now, fellow citizens, I shall
say good night. I desire to be-.
speak for those who differ from
me, only fair, manly treatment.
You will find, as has been my GUS
tom, that I will not abuse any
man who differs from me in my
opinion. Those who are unable to
follow my cause or to go with me,
because Of an honest difference Of
opinion shall have no cause to hate
or dislike me. We can be. just as
good friends as ever. But [ APP

TONNES DISCRETION.

No public man for years has
thrown away such a golden oppor-
tunity for future use to the PEG.
pie than Hon. Chas. A. Towne,
member of congress for this dis.
trict.
Possessed of unusual ability he
has assumed to put himself higher
than the party that created him
and promised him a career of use
fitness for his state and honor to
himself.
Mr.. Towne has chosen his path
He has done so against the plead.
ings of his friends, who admire
his ability and his elocucnc", and
were earnest in their desires to see
him continue in public life. But
he feels as if he could not act con.
scientiously with The Republican
party on the silver question,
therefore has announced his with
drawal from it.
The Magnet deeply regrets that
Mr.. Towne felt that his duty i'm
PEELED him to this course. This
paper has always been a strong
advocate of this gentleman and
gave him full credit for his sue.
cess in public life. However, as
this paper intends to support the
Republican nominees from presi.
dent to postmaster in the ensuing
campaign, it will be found with
the majority of newspapers of
this district arrayed against him
in his candidacy as All indepen-
dent candidate for con- ress. 4
While Mr.: Towne has strong
following in his free silver views
in St. Louis and Itasca counties,
he will realize as he makes his can.

the majority of the voters are not
with him, and as result he will
be relegated to private life. ~

The Rainy lake gold mine enter.
prises have meyer brought much
wealth to the surface, but the
newspapers continue to tell of the
immense treasure Gin sight" "A
recent issue of the Rainy Lake
Journal says:
"The main shaft of the Foley
mine is now down 210 feet and 300
feet of tunnel work done. The
vein is from 3 to 6 feet wide, but
calling it only 3 feet wide it would
give a cube of ore 3 feet wide, 21O
feet high and 300 feet long or
$4,000 cubic feet. AS ten cubic
feet equal one ton Of ore, there
are $4,000 tons Of ore in sight.
The report of 5000 in gold to the
ton as the product of this mine
was probably from picked ore.
The milling value Of the ore will
be at least $25 to the ton, which
will make the total value of the
ore in sight $780, 500. In making
that estimate, no account is made
of ore taken from the first shaft,
now 1853 feet. It will be seen from
the above that the Foley mine il
bound to be big gold mine. And
there are hundreds of others just
as good" i

HAS "A LIBEL SUIT.

On June 20 the St. Cloud Times
published the following item:
Zone of the strangest incidents
of the present Republican state
campajgn is the support of
the Merriam. Clough- Nelson ma.
chine by the Sank Rapids
Free Press. In the first
place it is bad politics, and, what
is infinitely more important, it is
a sanction and support of bad citi-
zenship! We cannot fathom the
cause . f it. Mayor Bell, of Sank
Rapids, says the Free Press has
been fixed" by State Librarian G.
A. Gil Imam. This is the only cx.
planation we have yet HEARD"
Editor Fl. P. Wood, of the Fl. G
Press, there-upon began proc Cd

against tie Times. Concerning
tho quoted item the Times of the
25th lust says:
''P. H. Wood, editor and pub.
Usher of the Sank Rapids Free
Press, complains that the above is
t'false, defamatory and libslous.
His reference, we presume, is to
the quoted remark of Mayor Bell.
1t was given by the Times with
no thought that the fixing" re-
ferred to was corrupt bargain,
or that the Free Press was fixed"
for money consideration.
Through personal influence,
backed by friendship, a person
may induce an editor to certain
course, and in this sense it is not
uncommon to use the word "fixed.''
1t was in this connection that the
Times employed the word. We
did not mean that Editor Wood
had received a pecuniary consider.
alton, nor do we think so now.
In fact we were not expressing an
q
opinion at all
The Free Press evidently doesn't
propose to be lightly spoken of.
Whether Gov. Gilman exerted any
influence with the Free Press or
not is question upon which the
Free Press is probably better au-
thority than Bell. That Gov.
Gilman was using his inf for
