An Absnrd Fatselsood Exploded.


As a sort of sample brick of the style
of the Window campaign the following is
extracted from last evenings Dispatch:
tits evident that in their despair and
desperation the organized gang of plum
derers who are running Boss WINDOWS
''clean- handed campaign have resolved to
stop at no lengths of vicious criminality
in their efforts to get their "old man.
| through. Of these resorts, falsehood is the
| least and most innocent But it is bad
enough. This mornings issue of Win
dom's truly pious Minneapolis Tribune has
column and half of lies about the sena-
torial contest, from which we carve the
following as a sample chunk:
A SCENE AT THa GLOBE OFFICE.
| As the result of the publication of this short
lived sensation THAT Hon. D. M. Sabin had de-
| cide1 to keep out of the caucus the reporter
learned that there was a scene in the GLOBE edi-
| torial rooms yesterday morning. Mr.. P. FL.
| Kelly, who is principal owner of the paper,
called upon Mr.. Hall and informed him that
| that sort of business was ''payed out" ''There
is not a particle of truth In it, he said, 'and
you ought to have known it, if you did not. /
don't want any more nonsense. You know
took the GLOBE out Of the gutter, and have kept
it out, and don't propose to have my money
| used in this manner any longer"
Mr.. Hall attempted to explain, but Mr.. Kelly
informed him that he didn't care to hear any ex-
PLANTATION. All he desired was an understanding
that there should be no more such silly lies, and
added, In substances:
Il will draw my check for 81 200, which you
may place against any mans 5000 who wants to
venture that sum on prediction that Window
won't be elected, and l will give you one-half of
the $500 after the election, for your trouble"
THIN PIoUs TRIBUNE.
The Minneapolis Tribune, which printed
the above, is, as it will be remembered, the
organ which arrogates to itself all the pi-
ETY. in the state, and makes special bust
ness of parading its superior virtue on all
occasions. 1t wants all the gamblers
hung, all whisky sellers imprisoned, and
all the harlots abolished-with some few
exceptions. Such pretense always goes
with deep hypocrisy, and such prstenders
are always great liars. We knew the
above to be lie, in toto, when we read it.
To convince our readers of. that fact we sent
reporter to interview the two gentlemen
| implicated.
WHAT h. P. HALL SAYS.
A Dispatch reporter interviewed Mr.. H.
P. Hall at the GLOBE Office to-day regard
ing the alleged ''scene" reported in the
! Tribune as having OCCURRED between him
self and Mr.. P. Il. Kelly. Having been
| very busy and only able to find time to
read that sheet when be had nothing else
| to do, he had not read The sensational
| yarn, but the reporter handed him copy
of the Tribune and he read it,
''What have you to say, Mr.. Hail. re-
garding the matter?" asked the inter
viewer.
"As matter of fact, Mr. Kelly has not
| been in the GLOBE Office but once in the
past year, and that was at election time,
when he stepped over from the Opera
house to inquire about the returns"
did you have any conversation With
him such as that reported in the 7'11bume9"
$50 far as that article is concerned,
have not exchanged one word with Mr..
Kelly, and am not particular whether it is
denied or not. You might ask Mr.. Kelly,
if you like, about the ownership of the
GLOBE. I consider the matter in ths
Tribune irst-class advertisement for the
GLOBE so far as its circulation will permit"
That ended the conversation, and the re-
porter sought Mr.. Kelly and found him,
butwith limited time for an interview.
WHAT P. H. KELLY SAID.
Mr.. Kelly had not read the Tribune, and,
as the reporter seemed to have the entire
issue for st. Paul in his possession, he drew
it from his ulsterette pocket and interro-
gated the gentleman concerning the report.
''Mr. Kelly, did any such interview take
place between yourself and Mr.. 81. p.
Hall?"
''No such interview took place." said the
gentleman emphatically.
''What are your relations, socially and
commercially with Mr.. Hall?"
Every pleasant; there is no man in the
state with whom my relations have been
more cordial
Mr.. Kelly and the reporter thought that
sufficient and parted company.
