HUBBARD ON THE wANE.
Southern Minnesota Looms up For Ri,

Southern Minnesota Looms up For Bier
mann.
To the Editor of the st. Paul Globe:
The progress of the campaign thus far,
has been triumphal march for Hon. A.
Biermann for Governor, and that he will
carry the First Congressional district is
low conceded by the leaders of all parties.
Fillmore county is for Biermann by at
least 500 majority. Hubbard is weaker
man than Milo White, and the fact that
Hubbard helped organize the bolt against
Window, and sanctioned the "bolting
game'' whereby Window was defeated
after he had been regularly nominated, and
consequently entitled to the support of
all the Republicans in the legislature,
warrants the friends of Mr.. Window in
boiling l.. F. Hubbard, and scratching his
name from the ticket. And Hubbard will
be SCRATCHED" all over the FIRST district.
The Greenbackers and Democrats are
solid for Mr.. Biermenn. Add to these at
least so per cent. of the Scandinavian
vote, and the advantage enjoyed by Bier
mann is plain. The st. Paul correspon-
dent of the Chicago Times, see, predicts
right.
This same writer prophesied the defeat
of Window, and his letter is attracting
universal attention. The betting here is
two to one on Biermann. Charles Evans
Holt, the prohibition candidate for gov
ernor, will get good many votes, and l..
F. Hubbard can prepare 80 assume charge
of his Red Wing mill after January next.
All along the Winona & st. Peter railroad
and the Southern Minnesota railroad, Bier
mann takes the lead. 1 will give you a
tolerably accurate estimate of the
vote in the First district by
counties: and it will pan
out as follows: Wabashaw 500 majority
for Blermann. Winona 1000, Houston 500,
Fillmore 500, Olmstead 500, Mower 500,
Dodge close, Freedom 600, and Steele 800,
making Biermann's ajority in the first
district over 1000. It may reach 10000.
Bets are freely offered that Biermann will
be elected governor by 10000. I will bet
any Hubbard man in the state, $1,000
that Biermann will be elected. The talk
that Milo White is a. weak man, and that
last falls vote is no criterion, is all non
sense. White is stronger than Hubbard,
for the reason that he poIled some 1000
greenback votes, indirectly, by keeping
Roberts in the field, and furthermore the
prohibitionists voted for White. Hubbard
is the weaker man, because he loses from
the Prohibitionists, Greenbackers and
Scandinavians, and is gone sure. Besides,
the Window men openly declare that Hub
bard's nomination is not binding, and as
he is chronic bolter and kicker himself,
that they are not bounden in DUTY
to stand by him. The outlook
for Hubbard is therefore most
serious. Governor Hubbard was a leader
in boiling Ramsey. He figured in the boil
against Judge Mcmillan, and he was a
prime factor in opposing Window. His
record as a bolter is too well made up to
be denied. And, to increase the trouble,
General Hubbard appointed II. A. Castle,
who advised Republicans in this district
to bolt Milo White, oil inspector of the
state, thus putting premium on political
rascality, and insulting Milo White and
all the friends of Mr.. Window. That the
Window men are embracing their oppor-
tunity, is true. They are going to get
even. If WINDOWS nomination was not
ssbinding" Hubbard's is not. The first
district will give good account of itself.
The Republicans are by the ears. The
quarrel between Castle and Van Leunea
is good. Let the war dance keep up. Bier
mann is on their trail. NoRsK,
