Kn6te's Corruption Fund.

The Nelson strikers are loud d-mouthed in
their assertions that money is being used
in this county to secure votes for Kindred.
They place themselves on high moral
horse, and pose before the public in the
sanity garb of aesthetic virtue. Now we
happen to know the contrary of this and
shall give instances from time to time to
prove the truth of our assertion.
Here is one: Yesterday afternoon a
we'll known citizen of Pelican Rapids. who
was in this city on business trip, was
approached by Cad Kinney, of Fergus
Falls, Otter Tail county, Minnesota, and
was offered SIS to work for the cause of
Knute Nelson. The offer was Indignantly
spurned. Just think of it; the pitiful sum
of SIS, to respectable man for his influ-
ence! There is no mistake about this. We
can give time, place and names
if necessary. In order that the
Nelson strikers may have an opportunity
to meet this charge, we are authorized by
a citizen of Fergus Falls, who is cognizant
of the circumstances, to put up any sum.
from 81 to $500, that one Cad Kinney, did
offer, on this 14th day of October, 1885,, the
sum of $15 (ifteen), to certain citizen
of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, for his in
fuence in favor of Knute Nelson, can
didate for congress from this district

To the Editor of the GLOBE:
see in the Dispatch of the 18th, card
from Handsome Harry Prescott, Nelson's
boss striker in Traverse county, stating
that Kindred may get seventy-five or 100
votes in Traverse county. Now as mat
ter of fact it is we'll known that Mr.. Kin
dred carried the county convention that
sent delegates to Detroit by a vote of
twenty two to eight and that Nelson bolted
with the assistance of this political pimp
who signes himself "P. NJ. and chairman
of the Republican county committee" S.
w. Chadbourne is the recognized chairman
of the Republican committee and made so
by the Republican delegates in covention
assembled, while H. l.. Prescott was made
SO by seven boiling delegates who nomi-
mated G. F. Washburn for state senator in
back room of the Traverse house at
Browns valley, on the 9Th of July. G. F.
Kindred will certainly get 200 majority in
Traverse county as will w. H. Campbell
the regular nominee for senator, as these
gentlemen are backed by all of the best
men in Traverse county. T.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Nothing is more
interesting at this moment than the state
campaigns. From what hear from Con-
necticut, would not be surprised if the
Democrats gained at least one congress
man and perhaps carry the state. A mer-
chant friend of mine who has just returned
from Boston, says he heard bets offered at
Young's hotel, of $500 to $3.50 that Ben.
Butler would be the rext governor of
Massachusetts,, and they were not taken.
Butler, after the manner of Sir Robert
Peel, has adopted the sentiments of his
opponents, and advocates civil service re-
form in the government. The presidents
custom house machine is very
unpopular in Boston. and
there is likewise a discomfort with
Senator Hoar for having supported the
river and harbor bill. Hence, Butler is
receiving accessions from the old stalwart
factions as well as from what corresponds
with half breeds in New York. Those who
want to rebuke the administration at
Washington think of voting for him, and
those who want to rebuke Senator Hoar
intimate the same action.
The general impression is that Indiana
will borrow example from Ohio on account

BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 24.-The Kindred
club are out in colors tonight, and one of
the grandest torch light professions ever
known in the history of the state is now
parading The principal streets of this city.
Col. Geo. q. Johnston addressed the meet
ing in the public park, as there was no hall
sufficiently large to admit the 1,5O0 voters
who were carrying torches in honor of the
home candidate. After Col. Johnston had
addressed the crowd, that actually filled
the public park, that was dotted all over
with appropriate banners, Mr.. Kindred
stepped to the fore and addressed the au-
dience that gave him applause
after applause. There are 1,47O men
on the pay roll at the
car shops at this place, and they were
nearly all out tonight to hear Col. John
ston and Mr.. Kindred who spoke on the is
sues at some length. The strength of the
Brainerd boom, at this writing, would for
cibly remind one of the city of Indianap
oils during the campaign Of 1880. The
city of Brinerd will, perhaps, never present
such brilliant appearance until two
years from this fall, when Mr. Kindred will
be returned to congress to fill the second
term that will be a deadener to the pine
land ring and monopolies that have SO
long disgraced the grand old state of Min
nesota.

ing. The announcement was made about
two weeks ago and of course good turn out
from the country was had. He stated that
he had been on the stump for about three
weeks every night and was consequently
somewhat tired, but, as he had read the
same thing over for so many times,
he fortunately got through all right.
1t was indeed a very touching appeal,
especially where the tent business came in.
His partner, Mr.. Reynolds, made short
review of what Nelson said, and recon-
mended that the pine land should be sold to
the highest bidder. He also threw consid-
erable abuse upon Mr.. Kindred and his fol-
lowers.
The meeting, after the two already men
toned had said their say, called upon Mr..
w. D. Dow, of this county, who submitted
several questions to Mr.. Nelson in regard
to his standing with the regular nominees
for senator and representative from this
Forty-second district, w. H. Campbell and
II. H. Wells. 1t may be said right here
that G. F. Washburn and Samuel Larson,
who bolted the convention held at Browns
Valley July 6, have ever since worked
together with the bolter of the
Fifth congressional district, and that
Knu:e has instructed his men in Grant and
Stearns counties to do all in their power
to defeat Messrs. Campbell and Wells,
while in this county Nelson never dared to
open his mouth in favor of either, as he
well knows that if he comes out against
Campbell and Wells he will have little or
no support here in Big Sotne county.
Mr.. Nelson did not want to answer the
questions that were put to him to any sat.
isfactory degree, saying that if they wanted
to vote for him they could do so whether
they voted for Mr.. Campbell or not. The
celebrated lawyer" was stuck this time
and left the hall in just the same manner
as he did when making for the tent at De-
trOit city-as coward.
Mr.. Brawley then offered resolution
something like the following, but the
chairman failed to put it to vote:
WHEREAS, Knute Nelson having worked
and acted unfriendly toward our candidate
for senator, and true son of Big Stone
county, be it
Resolued, By this MEETING that we rally
to the banner of Fl n. G. F. Kindred, w.
H. Campbell and II. H. ellis, VINO nave re-
4ceived the regular nominations, and that
we give them our unanimous support now
and on the 7th of November.
The resolution would undoubtedly have
been. carried by vote of two to one, but
the chairman became nervous and the
meeting fairly roared with applause, after
which the meeting dispersed,
Thus after all, this meeting was rather
Kindred boom than anything else, as at
least 700 voters thereby were thrown over
to him in less than FIVE minutes.
The people of Big Stone county now
look for the 9TH of November with conf
dence that Nelson, Washburn and Lar
son will be buried in such majority that
they would wish. they never were born.
Their little skiffs are ready to be
launched, and they will not be looked upon
with pity as they paddle down the salty
river.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
HANCOCK. Oct. %, 1SS2.-We had Nell
son rally here last night and if we could
have another one we would lose all hopes
of getting any votes for Nelson at all. Our
leaders made proposition to the Kindred
men to hold joint discussion and on the
acceptance of the proposition by the Kin
dred men our men backed down.
The result was that the Kindred men had
a rousing meeting while our speaker talked
to empty benches. Many of the men who
we had counted on for Nelson are now
solid for Kindred. If our men make few
more blunders like this one, Nelson is en-
tirely lost in this section. It is clear to

publican party at the end of the November
elections, Will be just where Grant left it.
There is general feeling that the old
Grant crowd are back in power, and pro-
pose to tomahawk everybody. He says
New York will go Democratic, and pre-
diets that the Democrats will have ma
jority in the next house. The talk of
gaining Republican congressman in the
South, he says, is all nonsense, He wants
all the disaster to come this year. It will
stir up the Republican party and a
reaction will set in which will give them
Ohio next year, just as the tide was turned
in 1875. The general says the late defeat
was not his funeral. He believed the
stand taken on the liquor question in the
Cleveland platform was the right one, and
he refused to follow Gov. Foster and others
to defeat in their imaginary temperance
crusade.

PRINCETON, Mimi, Oct. 22.-To the
casual observer it is very evident that
in Mile Laos county. the incipient Office
seeker, ''Nuty Knelson's" vote will be too
light to sink Kindred, and as insignificant
as the hummer and dead-beat element that
is supporting "Nuty.'' On our visit to
this place we were more than astonished at
the full evidence and the favorable reports
from all parts of Mile Lacs county, which
is sure to cast its almost entire, if not
complete and solid vote, without break,
for C. F. Kindred.
There is no denying it, and less use of
lying about the canvass. The ugly, un-
called for libelous insinuations of pre-
JUDGED newspaper, that G. F. Kindred has
bought the people with his money, is a
base SANDER on many of the best citizens
of the state, too vile for utterance by the
lowest of blackmailing blackguards. We
just rise here to say that we know whereof
we speak, and it is strange that leading

Nelson Incitina Deeds of Violence.

BRA1NERD, Oct 23.-Knute Nelson, with
Gilman and Gordon, were here last week,
and during their stay two of these worthless
spent most of their time in Tom Wilson's
saloon, drinking bad whisky. This saloon
is one of the lowest dives on top of earth.
and no decent man is ever known to enter
there who knows anything of the charac-
ter of the man who runs this den of iniq
uity, and yet our gallant statesmen
stopped so low while here as to enter this
place and get three or four drunken pimps
to sign a paper and telegraph
the p. p. that Nelson Scandinavian
club had been organized in Brainerd.
There is living in Brainerd a man by
the name of Joseph Eckblom, a Norwego
an, who is vice president of the Kindred
Scandinavian club of Brainerd, and man
above reproach. Mr.. Eckblom has been
living in this place for the last eight years,
and is one of the chief leaders among the
Scandinavian element. On Saturday last
five or six of these low pimps who had
been drinking bad whisky met Mr.. E. on
the street and told him they were all Nell
son men now and he must be. These men
cursed Mr.. Eckblom for going back on his
countrymen and said he must vote for
Nelson. After Eckblom had closed up his
place of business on Saturday night to go
home these low sneak thieves, un-
der the influence of bad whis-
Ky, paid for by money
left here at Wilson's saloon by Nelson and
Gilman, deliberately broke seven large
glasses in the front of Eckblom's place,
and valued at nearly 500. Without any
exception this dirty piece of business takes
the cake for pure cussedness. Because
Mr.. Eckblom is the leader of all the re-
spectacle Scandinavians in this town these
dirty rascals go and totally demolish his
store front. Knute Nelson not only had
Gilman here three days, but also John G..
Nelson of Otter Tail county, and E. Joh1--
son and Miller, also of Alexandria, work
ing with this hummer element and leaving
money for these low tramps to get drunk
on. There is no doubt but this can he
traced back to one of Nelson's strikers who
is here now for no good. G. B. BoHAN.
