in large schemes OF pine land plumber, corruPt
in its character, and it is equally notor!ous ~
that he was investigated to the irregularities Il
in the land Office of which he was an omcef, :.
and that this investigation resulted IN ms 70.
tirement from the Office. These are what we 3
believe to be facts, and the only excuse that 9
can be urged for his nomination must be lg- =
norance OF them on the part Of the convention: &
Aside from this casa the ticket is one tnat :
ought to be elected and will be.
While still another straight kepuoil-
can paper, the Lanesboro Journal,
SAYS:
| The nomination of c. A. Gilman to the po-
sition of railroad commissioner was sname
| full one. Gilman is stencil in the nostrlis OF
honest men generally, and is not entitled %
| vote in the State He is a disgrace TO the Ne
publican ticket and the respectable men whose
names we have mentioned above
The Glencoe Register, Repubiican
also, pitches into Charley, as tollews:
The Pioneer Press undoubtedly preferred
Charlie Gilman of pine land ring no,olIety'
because he has been for years their supple pup
DIV, ready to do their bidding and take lor ms
services any crumbs that might fall from MS
E masters table.
The people of this State understand why the
Pioneer Press is so well satisfied with Charlie
Gillman's nomination, and when the votes are
counted, next November, it will probably pe
able to guess why the people have falieo 70
ratity the nomination.
Ever our quiet friend McMasters' OF
the Lake City Leader, repudiates poor
Charley in the following style:
e We have heard a good deal OF Mr. Gilman
!, from good Republican sources for severai years
as land-grabber, rms, master, Polr!htIiGa. Pnhi;
e corruptionist, and devoted to general puui0
-sscussedness I" We have no personal knOWi-
edge of him or his record, but good deal o.
d respect for the opinions of Republicans and
: Republican journals who profess AN entlro ac
! ouaintance with Mr. Gilman. For the present
It we propose to 'sgo slow" I'D endorsing ns
nomination, and advise Republicans 70 90 the
same.
, Does Mr.. Gilman propose TO stano
st still while Republican editors are ham,
3 merlng away at him in that fashion!
N We don't think he is that kind OF man.
q, Let him show, as he can, that Mr.. Pills
u bury was in Pine Land Rings as well as
OF himself; that Mr.. Pillsbury was in the
q. Northern Pacific Construction Company,
s. as we'll as himself; that MIR. Pillsbury
dealt in half-breed script, as well as
e. himself. 1t is hardly fair to make
er Charley a scape.goat and turn him Out
x into the wilderness with all the sins OF
sir the tribe on his head Fair play IS
IT, pretty thing. Others are as deep In the
III mud as he is in the mire.
