ALBERT LEA, Sept. IA, 1ss0.-Last night
Halls Opera house was about half filled with
mixed audience of Dunnell, Ward and
Wells men to listen to the Honorable Post
master Seymour, of La Crosse, and the Hon
orable Postmaster ]. NJ Burlingame, of Owa:
tonna, who, at the behest of the sand-hauler,
came to open the Dunnell corner of the fight
Seargent, the proposed candidate of the
Dunnell wing of the party in this county for
State Senator, proposed Judge Town for
chairman, who, after singing his little screed,
introduced the brass collar from Owatonna,
who proceeded to demolish all
of the Democratic party at
one fell swoop and in one breath. by declar-
ing that they were the sole cause of the late
war; and that the record Of the Republican
party was very brilliant one-in fact,
brighter than that of any party since the one
that the devil held in the garden Of Eden
that wrought 80 much ill to the descendants
OF Adam and Eve.
The Democratic party had bequeathed the
Nation with big "N'' degraded credit,
deprecated paper currency, unenforced laws,
disbanded army and helpless navy, while
the Republican party had saved the Union,
restored the credit and built up the unpar-
allied prosperity Of the present.
The wer was Democratic rebellion and
the inevitable outgrowth of the doctrine of
State sovereignty. He shook the bloody
shirt and howied over the Democratic op-
position, to the USE of troops and deputy
marshals at the polls. Quoted Senator Wal
lace as saying that we could not hold "Na-
tionar' election, and Senator White as say
ing that the United States had no "peace to
be kept at the polls,' ..but that the States
had the sole right to regulate the election
laws.'
He beloved some more over the 'Solid
South" and took up Garfield, whom he
characterized as gentleman, scholar and
Christian Statesman, without guile and
above reproach.
He complimented U General
Hancock as being gooa
soldier, a STAIR general" and he did not
know "but what he was faithful to his trust" !"
but "Order No. 40 was an attempt at nulli-
fcation instigated by that arch traitor
Andrew Johnson
The Democratic Cry for free ballot and
home rule, meant "free fraud and Southern
bull-dozing."
He made frantic appeal for the support
of Dunnell on account of the "straightened"
circumstances of the party in the second
district.
The and M double-ender P. P.) had
said that Dunnell was the Irregular" nomi-
nee, and that settled it.
He sat down in smurmer of applause"
which, by the way, was the first that
had broken the quiet of the
audience, when an ancient stalwart
of Scandinavian birth, rose up and asked
plaintive!y if Freeborn county had no speak
er present that could give them good Re-
publican speech.
Postmaster Seymour then got on to his
legs (and more sanctimenious, fish. eyed
blatherskite never walke0 and begged par
don Of his hearers for troubling them, but
Dunnell and Window had been over to Wis
consin and made speeches to help the party
there, who felt that they owed Minnesota q
debt, and so had sent him over to square
the matter up. He arraigned the
"devilish, dirty, thievish. murderous,
rascally" Democrats, told some
very stale jokes, complimented
Dunnell, a-a- splendid statesman, etc., ad-
vised every one to support him because he
had been long time in the harness and knew
the ropes." A new man would be two or
three years in learning the ropes.
He ranted around and called a few more
hard names; called the man who wrote the
ninth plank in the Democratic platform q
''liar," thief, etc., and said that the "vast
Republican majorities of the Southern
States were intimidated, bulldozed and pre-
vented from voting, thus giving the Demo
Gratis q Solid South"
There were 153 voters present, of which
about 40 were Dunnell men, so Democrats
and the rest Wardites, and at the close there
were about 80 present, the rest, tired and
disgusted, having left. If any votes were
made they were for Wells and Ward, and,
thus the opening of the campaign was some
what of failure. Thine ever,
"ADAM SELL"
