went out that Lovely was Endorsed, and no
paper in Albert Lea had the nerve to print
the facts This is the true history OF the
manner in which Freedom county Endorsed
Lovely in his own home.
1t is charged here that Lovely often made
IT 81 point to pack juries and get men on tneIn
who were too ignorant 10 understand, orWere
under his control. A story is related Of one
ofthese jurors The judge was little du-
bious about him, and he asked: do you I'M
derstand the English language: yah,
responded the jurymau- DO you know the
duties OF turyman:,' asked the Judge again;
Yah" the man replied. "Who got you on
the jury:" the judge once more asked;
Yah" came again. The judge made him
stand aside and Lovely had to get another
man
There is a good deal of talk also about

suit in which he was the attorney Tor one
Freeman. One rumor is 10 the effect that he
recovered Il verdict for something like $1,000,
and he paid Freeman less that Sl,OUO being
so much per day and expenses. Another
rumor is that he took the case on shares, and
Freeman got Ii good deal less than half. MIR.
Freeman would not affirm or deny this. He

given for what they are worth Mr.. Lovely
can give the facts if he cares to.

evidently Lovely man-repeated the stale
and untruthfuI assertion that Judge wilson
was paid a salary of $4,000 as the attorney
of the Northwestern Railroad company He
either knew no better or deliberately f'tislned
This campaign lie has long since been eX-
ploded Judge Wilson never received salary
from any railroad. ana is not now receiving
any kind of salary from the NORTHWESTERN
or any other road.
In making out a bill of particulars, giving
the objections TO Lovely expressed by the
people of his own home, there are charges
that he is & bulldozer in his legal matters
and private life; that his ability TO construct
juries Is most singular and peculiar, and
that he has used this advantage 10 compel
peopie to employ him as an attorney and
pay him eXorbitaut fees.

There never was so much confidence and
enthusiasm among the Democrats OF Free
born county before. The character of the
delegates III Fridays convention and the in
terest manifested has surprised the od-tlIne
Republicans here who have been accustomed
to having things their own way.
Lovely is making desperate effort TO cap
ture Scandinavian support. One of the
papers of that nationality has published the
statement that Lovely speaks the Scandl-
navian language fuently. This is bare
faced lie. Lovely cannot speak word OF
Scandinavian or understand il.
The friends of White believe that he was
fairly nominated at Kasson-receYing ma
jority of the votes cast. and
that Loyely's chairman deliberately de-
frauded him of the nomination. Mr.. White
thinks So too Wait for the returns in No
Vember.
When Gov Armstrong was defeated in his
aspirations for congress in Freedom county
the Enterprise, which is Lovely'S organ now,
referred to the people who supported Arm
strong, as trampS and thugs And yet these
tramps and thugs are expected to support
Lovely.
The opponents of Lovely are issuing very
bright and interesting campaign paper-the
Freehorn County Democrat 1t is striking
some very effective blows. Republican State
Senator Sargent has atwo-coumn advertise
ment in it. Is this significant?
1t is also alleged that Mr. Lovely has put in
good portion of his time making collection
OF skeletons, and that he makes use OF them
whenever he has an object to accomplish and
wants to bring an adversary into line. IhlS
is peculiar and also effective.
An old Union soldier at WATERFOWL, Wis,
where Lovely lived prior to coming to Albert
Lea, who was written to for information, says
Lovely was rank COpperhead there during
the war, and that he would rather vote for
JEFF Davis now than Lovely.
Lovely has never made a public speech in
which he developed any Of the traits OF states
manship. He has never taken stand in
favor OF any great public enterprise, nor de-
fined his position on any OF the great public
questions.
An old citizen and staunch Republican of
Albert Lea made this remark: "Lovely's
capture of the nomination at Kasson was a
species of highway robbery and an insult to
Freeborn county will not vote for him.
Gov Armstrong, because of some mex
plicable pressure which was brought upon
him, was forced to indOrse Lovely: but he
was very much ashamed of it, and has gone
home, and is taking part in the canvass.
Republicans who believe in party loyalty
cannot forget the fact that Lovely bolted
Duunell's nomination at Waseca and can
vaSSed the district afterwards as a DOlter.
t'Chickens come home to roost."
The Democrats of Freedom county are now
thoroughly organized, for the first time in the
history of the party. Every township has
been fully canYaSSed, and there is feeling
of confidence and enthusiasm.
If there are any doubling Thomases who
are dubious regarding Lovelys unpopularity
or the detection from his ranks they should
spend q day in Albert Lea and go upon a
quiet tour of investigation.
Filing Isaacson, well-kown citizen asks
this question: Il wish to ask John A. Lovely
one question, and when he answers that L
will ask another: What good have you ever
done to Freeboru county,
An explanation may also be in order from
Mr.. Lovely regarding his connection with the
case of L. .. Green VS.. John Slater. There
are some queer rumors afioat about it.
The only evidence that Lovely offers in re-
gard to his loyalty is that he signed paper at
WATERFOWL. Wis, lamentiug Lincoln's death
This was after the war had closed.
H. c. Gullickson, chairman of the Republic
can committee of Fillmore county, has pub
lcly admitted that he would not place Love-
ly's majority above 300.
The number of people in Albert Lea who
have grievances against Lovely is very nu-
merous, but they are modest about having
their names in print.
Dir. Lovely has more enemies to the square
Inch III MS OWL nOIne-pOntlcal us well
personal-than any congressional candidate
in the United States.
HalversOn, the present editor of the Enter
prise, which is 10 = organ, formerly held
Lovely in such contempt that he spelled his
name johnalovely.
Itsurprises everybody to know that there
are so many Democrats in Freedom county.
The organization by townships brought them
to the surface.
Next Governor Ames is two years Younger
than Lovely. Ames served three years in
the army. He wasn't too young to enlist
Mr.Lovey should send his address to ali the
Northwestern medical colleges; he keeps
good stock of skeletons constantly on hand.
Mr.. Lovely is laboring under the delusion
that he is popular at home and that his
neighbors are yearning to vote for him.
Many an Albert Lea man will get a chance
to strike Lovely blow who has been waiting
for an opportunity for years.
