BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 26.-There are
three weekly very weakly things, I will not
call them newspapers, published here, known
only in this county, as they never get any
further off than the suburbs Of Brainerd.
They all bear striking resemblance to a
groceryman's paper sack, and to casual
observer would be taken for one were it not
that they are printed on light colored paper.
Their political affiliations are 'Jim Steal, y
''Rebel Black Jack, - and ''Doc'' Howes, and
last and also least, that miserable little lop
cared, short WASTED, bowiegged puppet Of
Washburn's "Knutv Knelson." The last
named has not dared to show his face in
Brainerd as be fears that If he did he would
get his just deserts, i e. bad egged. He has
not forgotten how he worked against Brain
erd last winter and got revenged for Crow
Wing county voting against him two years
ago. He could get charters Tor dams for
other towns, but Brainerd must be punished,
and this is the miserable little, narrow
minded Hckspittle that the three e. o. p. pa
pers here are favoring for reelection to
congress. Both they, and he, are disgrace

Republican BuIIdozers.
Special Telegram to the Globe. /

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. Oct. 27.-The Dem
ocrats of Wayne county had pole raising
in Ceredo Saturday, and raised very large
and handsome pole, much higher one than
had been previously raised by the Republi-
cans In the evening Messrs. Hogg and
Simms made speeches to the immense
throug there assembled, at the conclusion OF
which it was announced that Mr.. Hogg, who
is the Democratic elector in this district,
would address the people at Wiley & Nap
ier's hall. and the crowd dispersed.
The owners of the hall, being Republicans,
peremptorily refused Mr.. Hogg the use OF it,
and the Republicans prepared themselves
with rocks, clubs and such other weapons as
were at their command TO bulldoze and
break UP the intended Democratic meeting,
and about 7:30 O'Clock from 500 TO LOCO
people assembled in the open air, when Mr.
Hogg proceeded in a mastery but genteel
way to arraign the Republican party for It's
false promises and administration OF public
affairs. After the speaker bad
spoke about an hour and a quarter, tue Re-
publicans from the outskirts began to throw
heavy stones into the crowd, endeavoring in
the meantime to hit the speakers. This
caused great and intense excitement, and
the speaking had to be suspended, and the
disturbance was oueIled and order stored
Several persons were hit aud bruised, but no
one fatally injured When the speaker re-
sumed he adverted to the disturbances, and
in the course OF his remarks said he
had hoped for better things
from the Republicans of this county than to
be driven from tie warm
and genial atmosphere Of a
comfortable hall into the chilly breeze of the
open air on frosty night, and require wo-
men and children and old men in their de-
votion to truth and principle to undergo
such exposures. But one thing they could
not do, and that was to keep the speaker
fran declaring and discussing before his own
people the principles and measures Of The
Democratic party and Republican corruption

RAILRO1DfNG HIMSELF TO DEFEAT.
Blaine's Presidential ambition is fatally.
All the qualifications of the crookedness of
his public life, to say nothing of his personal
stains, rise and confront him, from his
KnowNothing incident down to the Multi
gan-Fisher transactions, his sale of his Gin
fuence'' as Speaker, the treaehery by which
he gained seat in the Senate, and the guano
craftsmanship of his career in the
State Department. Everything about
the man is false, hollow and cor
rupt. Not the least disgusting of
the schemes of his fatal ,1ambition is his
theatrical tour through the country and his
corrupt presence and plottings in some of
the doubtful states In 1868, when Horatio
Seymour was the Democratic candidate and
General Grant upon the Republican side,
Blaine made speech in the Brooklyn On
" Academy of Music, in the course of
which, with arrogant hauteur he said ''If We
needed any excuse for an additional word
on our side it may be found and furnished in
the extraordinary spectacle presented at this
moment before the American people, when
the candidate of the Democratic party, in
VIII despair at the result OF the state elec-
tons, is travelling through the country on
express trains, at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, with disheveled hair and wild compan-
ions engaged in the hopeless task of reviving
the impaired constitution of the Democratic
party"
That is very clever photograph of Blaine,
made by himself, sun picture of the nature
of sun stroke, as it were. But the tattooed
orator went on further, and, in the frenzy of
his most exalted dramitazation, said:
And sooner had he (Seymour)
started on the most extraordinary
journey than you found Democratic
papers in tones of impudent defiance daring the
Republicans to send Gen. Grant on wild mission
of the same character. No, thank you, gentle
of himself at the rate of thirty miles hour is
quite enough, and Gen. Grant, in the garb of a
plain citizen, quietly awaits the verdict of the
nation in his modest home at Galena.
The situation is exactly the same at the
present time. There is only zone President
ial candidate making fool of himself at the
rate of thirty miles an hour" and Blaine is
railroading himself to utter defeat and ami
hilation, with the steam all on and the throt
tie valve wide open, rushing every hour to 8
the final and fateful plunge. Jim Blaine
can read his own fate between the lines Of
his Brooklyn speech of 1868.

watterson in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct 27.-Hon. Henry Waiter
son, editor of the Louisville Cowier-.zourn0y,
addressed the young Democracy of Cook
county at Battery D armory tonight. There
were about 5000 present He began by say
ing that if he believed the present campaign
was merely an old fashioned contest between
two honest parties for possession of the gov
eminent, he would not be there to speak
But he believed the country had ar
rived at a point in its experience
from which the future government must take
its course for a long series of years. The
candidates whom he felt it his duty to sup
port were not originally his choice among
those whose names were before the Demo-
cratic convention. In his opinion the nomi-
nee of the opposing party was no worse than
the party itself. He was the first love of
his admirers, who dared not nominate
him in 1876 and 1880, but who
took him regardless of consequences in 1884.
The great body did not know the extent of
his uncleanlY record, but knowing it now
they were putting him through, as they had
nominated him, by force and fraud. How
much better were they than their man? The
speaker then referred to the presence in
Ohio at the recent election of the commits
sioner Of pensions and Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas. He characterized Blaine as the
most potent agent Of public decentralization
that has risen to eminence in this country,
and compared him TO Aaron Burr, than whom
he held him more dangerous, because he was
honored before the youth of the land, while
Burr was held up to eXecration. Watterson
then spoke at length upon the published
charges against the Republican presidential
candidate, and said that Blaine in claiming
the country accumulated more
riches during the twenty-four years
of Republican administration than
all its past history, had taken the assessed
valuation of 1880 and multiplied it by 165
per cent. The speaker said members of
congress received $4,000 year, and that
monopolists sent a lobby which paid the
members fees as high as $50, 900 to $50, 900.
The issue of the campaign was whether the
tax payers or the ofliceholders owned the
government. Legislation was carried on for
corporations. and we were fast becoming a
nation of aristocrats. The Republicans made
an cutlery because the Democrats from Ken
lucky went to Ohio to spot reporters. Hen
bricks, in the interests of peace, advised
them to go home. He was man of peace,
but in times like this it sometimes conserved
peace to be prepared for trouble. II the out
RACES continued it would result in civil war,
not between the north and south, but be-
tween east and west.

TERRIBLE CASUALTY.
Twenty five Men Buried in Mine
BY an EXPLOSION Of Fire Damn.

UNIoSTowN, Pa, Oct. 27.-An explosion
Of fire damp, with results probably as fatal
as attended the terrible disaster at West Leis.
enkng last January, when nine
teen lives were lost occurred
at the mines of the Youngstown
coke company, four miles from here, be-
tween and 5 O'Clock this morning. The
explosion took place in the sixth right hand
fiat, where about twenty-five men were at
work. The fire boss made his rounds az
usual this morning, and discovered
no signs of gas. The day force went
to work and at o'clock this afternoon
were relieved by the night turn. Twenty
minutes later, and just after Pit Boss James
Cole and Superintendent Refs had come up
from the mine and gone to the office, an ex-
plosion occurred which shattered the win
dows for mile around. Five minutes later
there was second report and Immediately
after flames burst forth from the openings,
blocking up the avenues of the entrance.
News of the disaster spread quickly and
friends and relatives Of the doomed miners
soon gathered around the mouth Of the mine,
but the fierce flames prevented an attempt at
rescue. After hours Of work however the flames
were subdUed sufficiently to allow n descent
by way OF the air shaft. At this writing the
volunteers have only been able to reach a
part of the mine, owing to the after damp,
and it is feared that the entire roof Of the
sixth fat has fallen in. If this is the case
none of the miners at work there
can be saved. The men in
other parts Of the mine who escaped after
the explosion occurred. made an attempt to
rescue their com panions, but were unable to
reach them. The killed and injured thus
far discovered are:
Jos. Zeeber, night pumper, single, aged
twenty-five, killed.
Jack Lapes, rope rider, aged thirty, single,
killed.
Jack Cole and David Cole, his son, fatally
injured.
Chauncey Wilson, slightly injured.
Washington Kebber has just been reached.
He is not much hurt, as he had presence of
mind to lie down in pool of
water and avoid inhaIing the gas.
This makes six that have been taken
out, two dead and four injured Jacob Cole
and son are probably fatally injured Every
effort is being made TO rescue the others, but
up to late hour tonight all in vain. There
is scarcely chance for any of them to be
taGen out alive, as it is be-
lieyed all have persisted from
the deadly after damp before this. The
air in the vicinity Of the mine is filed with
the cries Of the wives and children of the
imprisoned men. There are plenty Of willing
hands and hearts who are ready
to risk their lives to rescue them, but it. is
Impossible TO get at them nov, and not be-
fore morning viii the terri bic tale be known
1t is not known how the ex plosion occurred.

ANOTHER TORN4DO OF sLA


The Pioneer Press of yesterday, in its
desperation over the increasing certainty of
Straits defeat, comes out in freeh
blizzard of abuse against Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly.
1t charges that Mr.. Donnelly received, in
1869, from Daniel Bassett, of Minneapolis,
81, 500 under an Indian contract. The fact
is that Mr. Bassett swore, before a committee
of the Senate, that Mr.. Donnelly never re-
ceived one cent from him for that or any
other corrupt purpose.
This accusation has been made before and
in the Dispatch of Feb. 20, 1874, the following
record appears:
As announced in the senate proceedings yes
terday, Mr. Donnelly asked authority to sum
mon the Messrs. Bassett, and to invite Mr..
Wheelock to be present before the committee
with counsel and to be cross-examined. The
committee met last evening, and Daniel Bassett
was present. Mr.. Wheelock appeared with
Judge Flandreau as counsel. Mr.. Bassett denied
having asked or received any money from
Mr.. Clark, for Mr.. Donnely, or that
he tBassettl had ever given Mr.
Donnelly any sum at any time for congressional
services.
The committee offered to call n. P. Clarke,
but Mr.. Wheelock consulted with his counsel
u.
The Pioneer Press also revamps the old
SANDER against Mr.. Donnelly in reference to
81, 500 of stock voted him by the Hastings
& Dakota railroad. This story has been ex-
ploded dozen times. When first made in
1874 paper was publis he'd in reply, signed
by Stephan Gardner, president Of the First
National bank of Hastings and L. s. Follett,
cashier of that bank, and other stockholders,
fully exculpadng Mr. Donnelly. Mr.. DON
nelly never asked for the stock; t
was never issued; it never
had any value; the men in Hastings who
invested $4,000 in it lost it all
through the knavish surrender of the road by
lie Due to the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul, without
protecting his friends and neighbors who
had followed him into the enterprise through
their faith in his honor and integrity.
As to LIE Dues assaults upon Mr.. Don
nelly, resting upon his own unsupported tes-
timony, IS to sletter shown him by Cakes
Ames, now dead, and as to certain PROPOSE
tons made, he claims, by Donnelly to him,
lie Due, to do the things which he, lie Due.
afterwards did without Donnelly, viz: to sell
out and plumber the Hastings stockholders,
some further evidence than lie Dues
statements win be required by those who
knew both Donnelly and lie Due. 1t is very
certain Donnelly labored hard to save the
Hastings stockholders from loss, and it is
equally certain that LIE Due did not.
Tho letters wrung by lie Due from certain
Of the signer to the defence Of Mr.. DonneIly,
that they did not intend to reflect on his, lie
Dues, character, were very natural under
the circumstances; but the charge made BY
LIE Due that Donnelly had interpolated sen
fences into that letter ond publish it that day
after it was signed, is too absurd to be con-
sidered for one moment. Would not Stephen
Gardner and L. S. Follett have at once re-
pudlated any. such forged document
But, If Mr.. DonneIly was such 4 scoundrel
as Nr. LIE Due now alleges, how came Mr..

The Passenger Rate War.


CHICAGO, Oct, 27.-The far eastern trunk
lines are making an effort to advance east
bound passenger rates from Chicago Du-
ring the prevalence of the present low rate $
west-bound from New York the eastern
trunk lines have been giving their western
connections at Buffalo and Pittsburg their
full proportion of a $3.50 rate frst-class,
the initial lines out of New York
sustaining the entire loss below
that rate. In order to make them
whole, in measure, for their losses they
have now asked their western connection to
agree upon higher rate from Chicago to
New York. The Chicago lines have not yet
determined what reply they viii make to
their eastern brethren, but it is probable that
rates east bound will be slightly advanced
within few days. scalpers were
selling yesterday to New York as low
as S12, aud unless a halt is called very
soon they win unavoidably 90 lower. TIE
Chicago Trunk line passenger committee
held its usual weekly meeting yesterday at
