DUNN IN D DAYS.

Twenty-Five days more and the
Republicans of Minnesota will have
made their nomination for governor
and other state Offices placing a
ticket in the field which every true
Republican is bound to support.
The % ensuing days promise to be
full of animosity, bold and vitriolic
expressions, many of which might
better be left unsaid that the honor
and reputation of the accusers and
the accused might not be injured
before the final tribunal.
At the end of % days THE GAZETTE
now firmly believes that Robert G..
Dunn will be the nominee for gov
ernor. That belief is based on a
knowledge that the Republican vot-
ers throughout the state'are not I'M
grateful, but rather believe in re-
warding leader who has been I'M
swervingly true in the conduct OF
his Office, and whose human errors
are not picked up by his opponents
as carrionafor buzzards.

It has been reported that Hon. X.
J. Wells of Breckenridge would not
be a candidate REORGANIZATION and
reelection as a member of the
house, but we have assurances
from other sources that Mr.. Wells
will announce his candidacy in the
course of a week. He was one of
the active members of the house
during the past two sessions and
was leading factor in the organi-
zation of the last house. In addi-
ton thereto Mr.. Wells was ever on
the watch for measures pertaining
to his district, helping to pass the
beneficial and defeat the adverse
bills. His work for the drainage
bill beneftting the Red River val
ley, alone ought to be sufficient to
warrant his constituents in return
ing him. Mr.. Wells has also been
prominently mentioned as a candi-
date for speaker. Should he be
chosen be would make an alert and
fair-minded presiding official.
