gressional fight in the First district. The
GLOBE reporter was the 6rst to arrive upon the
ground and quickly learned that the majority
of the committee would not be on hand before
8 o ocleck in the afternoon. Having more time
at his disposal than anything else, the represen.
1 tative Of the GLOBE proceeded to pay his re-
| spects to MIR. Dunnell at his beautiful resi-.
dence on slight eminence which overlook
the city. Mr.. Dunnelrs delightful home hs.
been described so often that description of il
here wonld be out of place. Passing up the
carriage way, lined on either
side with mountain ash and Other
shade trees, and winding through closely
shaven lawns, which is dotted here aud there
with flower beds and urns filed with rart
plants, etc., the main entrance of the man.
sion was reaohed, end vigorous pull of the
door bell brings the owner of all these homs
oharmes aud comforts, himself, to answer the
call. A cordial shake of the hand and a polite
invitation to walk within are both accepted BY
the GLOBE man. and he finds himself in dou-
BILE parlor plainly but richly furnished, show.
ing cultivated taste in the selection of furni-
tare and oil paintings which adorn the walls OF
| the spacious room.
At the time of the GLOBE mans call Mr..
! Dunnell was holding conanltation with Mr.
David Blakely OF the Minneapolis Tribune and
| Mr.. Kelly, the Bismarck of Steele county poll
ticians. Apologizing for what might be con
sidered an untimely and unwelcome intrusion,
the GLOBE representative at once plunged into
the object of his visit, when the following con.
versation took place:
Reporter-Mr. Dunnell, you are probably
aware of the object of my visit.
! NJ. Dunneil (sm;ling)-I suppose the GLOBE
is in search Of information in regard to The
doings of the happy family at Waseca?
| Reporter-The GLOBE is pretty well informed
as to what took place upon that occasion, but
! what it wishes to know just now, il what are
you going to do about it,"
| Mr. D-That is left entirely in tho hands OF
| the committee. which meets in this city at
| o'clock this afternoon. What their action will
be am entirely unableto say. Ih aye left the
| matter in their hands and will be governed by
| their decision.
R.-But, Mr.. Dunnell, you certainly have an
opinion in regard to tho action of the conven-
| ton?
| Mr.. D.-Certainly have. I received the
nomination at the hands of the convention, and
| have every reason to believe that was and am
the choice of the Republicans Of this district,
| as their candidate for Congress.
| R.-Granted, but in view of the complics-
| tions which have since arisen, what course do
| you intend to pursue?
Mr.. D.-That, as 1 have stated, will depend
| upon the action of the committee, to whom /
| have referred the matter. I shall be governed
entirely by their advice.
R.-Suppoaing they decide not to withdraw
your name, what do you think your pros speots
| for election are with three candidates in the
field?
Mr. D.-I am confident shall be elected.
will receive at least two-thirds of the republi-
can votes of the district, and would have no
| fears if outsiders would only let me fight my
own battles.
R.-From what you say, MIR. Dunnell,
Judge that you intend to fight it ought with
Mr. Ward. notwithstanding the proposition he
makes in his open letter to you?
| Mr.. D., that will depend as said upon the
| action of the committee to-day. l shall be
governed by their decision. They can do as
they please, and will not go near them. a
As Mr.. Dunhell was evidently becoming res
tive under The cross examination to whicE he
l
reioin his friends in the other room, the GLoBE
man bowed himself out satisfied that Mr.. Dun.
nell will continue to be a candidate until the
| election polls close in November.
l. Returning to the Arnold House, where the
members of the committee were to meet. the
GLOBE reporter next encountered Messrs. Car
penter, Sargent, Evans and Crosby of the COM
mittee who had arrived by the morning trains.
| Like Mr.. Dunneli they were all very reticent
in regard to what action they would take, and
all declined committing themselves until
| the entire committee got together. In answer
to an inquiry of the reporter a. to what they
| would do with Wards proposition, one of
them said 1--WE will throw it under the table, -
at which they all smiled assent. "a
| Fooled in his end; avors 10 obtain anything
satisfactory out of the members of the commit.
| tee, the GLOBE man next turned his attention
To outsiders. The streets were filled wit farmers
who were in the city making arrangements for
harvesting. Upon being approached as TO
| their preferences for member of Congress, many
of them said they had not thought much about
| it. a few were outspOken for Dunneli. bnt a
large number said they would like TO vote for
some good Democrat, such as III. j. Severance,
| b. e. Wells, Dick Jones, or Judge wilson.
Diligent inquiry failed to find a single adherent
of Ward. Many of the Republicans who were
| approached said that as between Ward and
either of the Democrats above named, they
