Especial Telegram to the Globe.

BRAINERD, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Gilman and
his crowd are still at the hotel here, wait
ing for the returns from Cass and Itasca
counties to be canvassed, but they need
wait no longer, as they were all duly
counted this afternoon at the county au-
ditor's Office between the hours of and
5 in. the presence of twenty men. while
Gilman was sleeping Off the effects of
whisky he had taken in the morning. Be-
low give you the full official votes of
Cass, Grow Wing and Itasca counties, and
the GLOBE is the first paper in the state to
give the full official returns, When
the trains come tomorrow noon Gilman
can read from the GLOBE the official count
and draw the long hairy awnings little
further down over his wicked eyes and 60
and lay an egg and depart in peace. He
has now been in this city for fully three
weeks, and prior to the day of election he
spent his time and part Of Nelson's money
in some OF. the lowest saloons in the city,
but since election he has his whisky in his
room at The hotel and does not spend a
cent of money with the hummer element.
He has become so obnoxious and offensive
to all the decent and respectable people in
| this city that there will be rejoicing when
| he leaves. AS fraud and falsifer Of the
] first water, his equal is unparalleled in this
/ nih ctato nd fha
| Press stated. when he by his vile combina-
| tions and tricks secured the nomination
for lieutenant governor of this state, ''The
ticket was a good one except Gilman: who
was known to be tricky and had to settle
his accounts in the land Office in a
hurry and resign This same Jour-
nal will probably support him
for our next governor, after calling him a
rascal and thief only three years ago.
His deputy marshals and all of his body
guard are waiting to arrest some one as
they have been threatening to do. They
will feel like kicking themselves when
they discover that the returns have
all been duly and fairly counted and the
stuffed ballot boxes that they have been
bowling about at Grand Rapids were
opened and found to contain not 1900
votes, but that there was only 63S votes
cast in Itasca county and at
Grand Rapids, Cass county,
only 121. Nelson, Gilman and the entire
outfit can now cease with their bowling
fraud, intimidation and bulldozing, and
brother-in-law Ben can so rest in peace as
far as the Kindred crowd is concerned, if
their conscience permits after stufing bal
lot boxes in Polk, Norman, Otter Tail, Pope
and Douglas counties where the judges
of election and clerks were all Norwegians
and where the opportunity was taken ad-
vantage of, as will be proven before long.
Their voting ninety Swedes on gravel
train three times can be proven
by hundred men, and their
rascality will be shown up before many
days. There is evidence enough here now
to throw out the votes of two counties on
the Manitoba road, where they loaded
from fifty to hundred Norwegians on
gravel trains and voted them at little
Norwegian way station.
