and have taken, and now occupy promi-
nent position at the polls, keeping away
resident voters, and encouraged by Gil
man to lnaugurate reign of terror. Gill
man is around in close consultation and
claims that his organization is perfect, and
that he will obs.ruct the polls SO that the
full vote cannot be polled. This is his
tactics and the people here are very indig-
nant and cannot qualify his conduct in too
severe terms. Could there possibly be a

election is passing off quietly.
12m. A big vote is being polled. nearly
all tor Kindred. One Or two arrests have
been made of persons talking too loud.
Gilman is not at all pleased with the out
look. He smiles CHASTITY as his conscience
pricks him; but it is only temporary. The
sad look as of wholly disappointed man
retains possession of him and his con-
science is submerged again. He
IS a spectator of an en-
thusiastic crowd, nearly every one
voting for Kindred. he has no appetite
for dinner and employs the hour in tele-
graphing lies to Wheelock. Then he goes
to Wilson's saloon, takes drink and wan
ders around like one demented.
2p. m.-Gilman is half drunk. wholly
discouraged and has retired to the shades.
fully satisfied that his attempt to bulldoze
the people of Brainerd is total failure.
and that he has not a friend to whom he
can turn for consolation. A more sicklv
| spectacle Of wholly depraved, demoralized
humanity has never been seen on ~ur
streets. His strikers have retired in dis
| gust. No disturbance has occurred and a
very large vote is being polled. Gilman.
while IN semi-conscious drunken stupor.
says ne has sent for troops to save him
from getting too drunk, and that if
Governor Hubbard is fool enough to send
them he will try and beat him next fall.
and that he was a fool for ever supporting
Knute Nelson; that he ought to have been
an independent candidate himself, when.
with Marshal Dewey's assistance, he would
have. been sure of his election.
$40 p. m.-The polls closed at s. The
vote will approximate $780, Ninety Der
cent are for Kindred. Gilman saws he
can't win; that Kindred is too solid in his
own home.
Little Falls telegraphs fifteen to one in
Kindred's favor. We are there.
4 DRUHKER THAN EVER.
Gilman is totally unconscious in Viii

shals should have been sent, and Hubbard
is very ungrateful not to send troops to
protect the honest voter, and in his delir-
ium he calls on Fletcher for mare swao.
He says Nelson is ungralefuL and that the
pine land ring had no confidence in him.
and that SIT is bad lay out" He SAYS he
relied too much on Gordon, and that when
this last deserts him he shall let politics
alone.
All quiet at the polls since Gilman got
drunk. He spent all the money he had in
getting there. and then Wilson kicked him

the great statesman and enjoying guard
duty immensely. What drop down is
