The Worthington advance., 1880-10-28


nesota, are strong supporters of Ward.
Moreover, Ward has contributed more
money to the temperance cause than all
the temperance brawlers and hypocrites
in Worthington together have ever con-
tributed. But Ward has been seen
by somebody to take glass of liquor
and that is enough to make him ''sot. :"
TIE SAME ALL OYER.
A Kasson correspondent Of the
Globe, speaking of the Dunnell faction
in that place, says:
Intolerance and prescription are the
chief characteristics which distinguish
them, and hard words and epithets are
freely banded without regard to the
circumstances, the only conditions re-
quired TO bring them out being a fall
ire to support Mr.. Dunnell. The exis-
tence of this state Of things brings the
Ward and Dunnell factions into fire.
quent collisions, and ut times makes
things quite lively.
Well, isn't that just what we have
said hundred times of their methods
here. They are the sorest, the most in
tolerant, the most bitter, the most in
solent and domineering political fact
ION we know of, unless it is the ku
klux bulldoZers of the South.

THATINF'A no US CHI CULAR.
The vilest circular we have ever seen
against candidate for office came into
our hands the other day. 1t purports
to be from Waseca, the home of Mr..
Ward, and dehounces him as common
sot and drunken brawler, a defamer of
''our Saviour" and other stuff too vile
to publish. The names Of certain Rev.
erends and Deacons are given at the
bottom as references.
Mr.. Wards friends have had copies
struck off to circulate as a means of
showing the desperation Of the devilish
dirty Dunnell d-dogs, we were about
to say. The fact is the circular defeats
itself. 1t is so infamously mean and
vile that no man of any sense will give
heed to it for a moment. Mr.. Wards
friends say in their caption to this infa-
nous document:
They are in the hands of his most
truSty trends with instructions not to
give them out until one Gay before elec-
tion. The circular was seen and copied
one day after Mr.. DuNnell was in Wa
SEGA.
So we may expect flood of these vile
sheets just before the election. Spot
any man who is found handing them a.
bout.
This circular confirms all we have
said heretofore as to the methods of the
Dunnell men. Their campaign is one
of the vilest personal abuse of every
prominent candidate, speaker and work.
er who is opposed to Dunnell. The
''machine" has become a gigantic smut
machine. and every decent man should
join IN the effort to smash it forever.
Il CRY FOR HELP.
The Winona Republican, edited by
one Of Dunnell's postmasters, in its is
sue of Oct. 23u, sends up a cry al
most as earnest as the Pioneer Press
sent up recently when it called on the
Postmaster and the Receiver and the
Register and all the others that end in
er, and every living Office holder in the
country, to come to the rescue of Dun
hell. Only the Republican, with q
freak of desperation unparalleled in this
district, calls on the Democrats to come
up aud save Dunnell from being beaten
by Ward. This is a remarkable confess
sion for paper which only few days
ago claimed that Ward would not get
more than two or three votes in Vino
ia. After saying that an attempt is
being made to transfer the Democratic
vote to Ward, it says:
What do the honest Democrats of the
first districv think Of this scheme to de-
liver them, bound hand and foot, to 4
man whom they cannot but despise?
And how do they nean to resent the
contemplated insult and wrong? There
is but one way in which they CAL do it
effectually. Mr.. Wells whether inten-
tionally or because he cannot help it. is
playing into the hands of Ward. It is
conceded that he is not the man to
draw the full strength of his party, and
that consequently lie cannot be elected.
The honest, intelligent, thinking voters
of the Democratic organization should
therefore take the only bold, decisive
and manly stand that is now open to
them. Let them cast their ballots for
Mr.. Dannell. They undoubtedly have
no sympathy for Mr.. Dunnell's political
views, but they respect his consistency
and recognize his ability to do the dis
trict service in the national councils.
By boldly voting for Mr.. Dunnell they
will rebuke treacllery in their own
ranks and have the satisfaction which
every good citiZan must take in defeat
ing the shameless attempt of political
freebooter to buy his way INTO an Office
which he could but disgrace.
Gentlemen, the jig's up. The conte st
,uls between Ward and Democrat
Now it is between Ward and Dunnell.
And the leading Dunnell paper of the
District confesses it and cries out to
the Democrats to come and save Dun.
