KAssoN, Mimi, Oct. %, 1S80.-Every day
records more clearly the desperate strait of the
Dunnellites and the desperate means that are
being employed in order that this political
leech shall be saddled upon the citizens of the
First Congressional district for another two
years, and that he may the more firmly bind
the party to him. Intolerance and proscrip-
tiou are the chief characteristics which distin-
guish them, and hard words and epithets are
freely banded without regard to the circum-
stances, the only conditions required to bring
them out being a failure to support MIR. Dun
nell. The existence of this state of things
brings the Ward and Dunnell factions into fre-
quent collisions, an d at times makes t hings
quite lively.
A day or two since, ye editor of the Man.
torville and Kasson Express" p" made the remark
that ''all the brain and culture of the Repub-
lican party supported MIR. Dunnell. while only
the ignorant and vicious supported Ward"
and being taken to task about it to-day denied
the whole thing, whereupon the parties repaired
to Mr.. GrinnelPs, in whose presence the re.
mark was made. Mr.. Grinnell confirmed the
statement, and was Immediately called liar,
which Mr. Ct. took quite coolly, and proceeded
to explain, which only exasperated ye editor,
clerk of the court, etc., who emphasized the
first remark WITH you are id liar. ~
This was little more than human nature could
bear, and tusele ensued, resulting in no dam
age except few broken lamps.
But "out of the mouths of two or more wit
nesses shall ye be condemned" !" and getting
outside the door was met by young sprig of
the law who confirmed the statement, and
also the credibility of the first witness. and
was met with the more emphatic remark you
are a Cd id little prevaricator," or words
to that effect. Whereupon the disciple of
Blackstone and Kent ''let fly with his right
mauler," intending to ''olinch the argument
short. A cinch followed, when both fell to
the sidewalk add into the gutter, ending in the
editor on top. The bystanders, including
clergymen, lawyers and business men, now in-
terfered, and after a careful exami-
nation, the unanimous verdict was ''no
damage done. THE "brains of the
Republican party soon after took
his departure, and peace and quiet once more
reigned. This is the natural outgrowth of af-
fairs political, as taught by the sanity Dun
nell in this district. Failing by fair means to
obtain that which he seeks, he now resorts to
all sorts of misrepresentation and calumnies
His personal explanation" when here was
base slander on some of our best citizens, anG
stead of calling to set himself Alright, confined
himself almost entirely to the hotel. At frs
many were inclined to believe his denials, bu
are now more than ever convinced of his IN
worthiness, and that there should be change
If we are not mistaken in tn
temper of the people this will prove to Mr.
Dunnell another "Rull Rum" and he will b.
allowed to "step down and out" and the Firs
Minnesota district will be represented bv on
who will be faithful to its citizens and tn
high trust reposed iu them. ~
