BRA1NERD. Mimi, Nov. &c. A. Gilman.
armed with navy revolver. and a s'thug
from Denver" a celebrated shoulder hitter,
with about twenty other thugs from st.
Cloud and other localities, and an insignifi-
Cunt shyster from st. Cloud named
all armed, are here in full force,
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 obstruct 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
more contemplate status for the lieuten-
ant governor of Minnesota! -J
10 a. m.-Gilman is still at the POLLS.
Streeter, his ignorant tool, has bee1{ Gold
by the police to keep back and not obstruct
the polls and that if he continues to do so
he will be forcibly removed, and considers
it the better part Of valor to not be too in
trusive. Gilman's insult to the people
here in asking for United States marshals
to bulldoze them, has aroused much in
dignation and the voters will not tamely
submit to such outside interference. The
election is passing off quietly.
12m. A big vote is being polled, nearly
all for 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 ono
voting for Kindred. He has mo 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 buildoze
the people of Brainerd is total failure,
and that he has not a friend to whom he
can turn for consolation. A more sickly
spectacle of wholly depraved, demoralized
humanity has never been seen on cur
| 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 he has sent for troops to save him
from getting too drunk, and that i,
Governor Hubbard is fool enough to SEND
them he will try and beat him next fall
and that he was fool for ever supporting
Knute Nelson; that he ought to have beer
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 5. Tn,
vote will approximate $780, Ninety De,
cent. are for Kindred. Gilman says he
can't win; that Kindred is too solid in hi
own home.
| Little Falls telegraphs fifteen to one i,
Kindred's favor. We are there.
pRUHKER THAN EVER.
Gilman is totally unconscious in Viii
sons back yard, but murmurs in his stupo
that he has been badly treated. More mar
shals should have been sent, and Hubbar,
is very ungrateful not to send troops t,
protect the honest voter, and in his delir
ium he calls on Fletcher for mare swaQ
He says Nelson is ungraleful, and that tn,
pine land ring had no confidence in him
and that st is bad lay out" He says h,
relied too much on Gordon, and that whe,
this last deserts him ne shall let politics
alone.
ALI quiet at the polls since Gilman go
drunk. He spent all the money he had i,
| getting there, and then Wilson kicked hin
out. A lot of hoodlums are protecting
the great statesman and enjoying guard
duty immensely. What drop down i.
here, my countrymen.
BECKER.
