CHATFIELD, Mimi, Aug. Eff men
are judged by their declarations there are
not Lovely men enough here to hold eau
Gus, and, if they vote as they talk, their
ballots wont be worth counting. 1t
would seem that Albert Lea is not alto
gether Lovely. Under date of Aug. "a,
one of the staunchest, as well as best
known Republicans, writes to Hon. Milo
White:
Let me assure you of my sincere regret
that your nomination at KaSSon was not con-
irmed and declared by the convention, as in
all honesty it should have been. Here there
was no contest. There no opportunity
for one. Gibbs, who was the head and front of
the Dunnell crowd; agreed, as I under
stand. and as the results have shown, that
Lovely should have no opposition at the eau
cuses, and the Lovely men agreed in return
to give the delegates to ST. Paul to Gibbs.
The party was not consulted, nor did it take
any interest. But little over
100 votes were cast at the caucuSeS in this
city. In the country towns it was worse.
Some did not poll a vote. The balance had
barely voters enough present to arrange
meeting and furnish the delegates. Mos cow
was the only county in that seemed to have
any interest in the matter. 1t elected dele
gates and instructed them to vote for dele
gates who would vote for any one except
Lovely AS it is I do not think he
Novely) has the nomination fairly. The Re-
publican party is in bad way. We have
been bought and sold without our consent
and without the power to help ourselves, and
I object to it. The dissatisfaction
here is something astonishing, and exceeds
anything ever saw in Freeborn county.
Our two local papers being in the Gibbs and
Lovely combination. they do not represent
the feeling here, and that is making things
worse 4 The Pioneer Press cores
pondent here is one of the editors of the En-
terprise and the other one is candidate for
the stat senate under the auspices of the
Gibbs-Lovely combination, and of course that
very influential journal is daily fed with
Gibbs-Lovely pap that is very slckenlng to It's
subscribers in this place.
The letter has other strong points, but
these will do for the present.
Heard in ST. Paul.
It is the growing feeling in and about the
First congressional district that Lovely, the
Republican nominee for congress, would
have a hard row to hoe to secure the election
against Judge Wilson. Lovely is not
the only man who experiences a palpitation
of the heart when he contemplates the
situation and sees defeat staring him in the
face. The rank and file of the Republicans
first time since they can remember, enter
tain well-defined hope that the district
will be represented by Democratic con-
gresham. The Republicans view with
alarm bitter contest in the Third dis
trict and in the Fourth district, as we'll as
the First, which they conclude will prevent
them from receiving assistance from the
outside, as would be the case if there was
only one district in which there was very
close figuring.
The White men and the congressman
have large following in the agricultural
districts, who regard Whites defeat and
Lovely's victory as due to railroad inf1u-
ence and in opposition to the farming ele-
ment, looking on with very little interest one
way or the other. They are not in love
with Lovely and cannot be expected to be;
their defeat is too recent. They regard
the alarm of the Republicans as somewhat
natural and as being realization of their
predictions that no other Republican could
carry the district.
