Details Of Ring Robberies as Collected
by "Globe" Missionaries.

For an Infamous campaigner Bill Wash
burn is success. He has organized corps
of able-bodied liars into an i!literate bureau
at Minneapolis, and is deluging the district
with campaign sheets in all styles and all
languages, the only degree of uniformity
being that they are all lies. On this plat
form they reach common level.
An old document issued against Mr.. Don
nelly in 1870, on account of his tariff views
is reprinted and circulated to create the i'm
preston that the Democrats have put forth
manifesto against him in the present cam
paign.
The assertion that he paid his laborers in
full when he made his swindling failure is
reiterated, while Mr.. Lambert, of Little
Falls, and half dozen Others assert that
they received but sixty cents on the dollar.
continual clatter is kept up that he is
net a member of the Millers' Association.
The fact that he is interested in tho Mime
apolis mills is notorious, and bis falsehood
consists in concealing the fact that he is
represented in the ring hy his partners.
Gen. G. @. Andrews undertook to deny,
in speech at Alexandria, that Wash
burn was in the milling business, but he
was interrupted by the president of the
meeting-L. X. Aaker--who told him he was
mistaken. He (Aaker) had been told by
Washburn few days before that lie oaone1 q
third interest IN ezcUen run Of stone Sn Min
meapo1Ss. It is not Washburn, but his wick
ed partners who are formal members on the
books of the Association, while Washbnrn
sits back and divides the plumber.
He is circulating the so-called report Of
farmers of the Hennepin Grange to show
that tho little brass kettle is not swindle
and thereby comes to the defence of that
implement of robbery. AS matter of fact,
the report was gotten up by the millers
themselves, and the committee were brought
in to the Tribune Office to sign
it. Tho test was made with the
new kettles instead of the old, and only
proved that the kettles can be used honestly
or dishonesty. No one has ever assumed
that they could not be made to do accurate
work. but they are gotten up SO that they
can be manipulated at the will of the buyer
and a grade stolen from the farmers. Wash
burn, however, assumes the defense of the
swiudling brass kettles.

money multiply daily. Here is one speci-

These evidences can be multiplied almost
indefinitely, but the one can be taken as the
sample of the whole. The man who swim
dled his creditors, despoiled the public do

has the money to send the g sstrumpet
Of corruption, stalking in naked horror
through the land.' Minnesota never
has seen so debauched and disgraceful cam

was left to the tltman of the Washburn fam
