ALBERT LEA, Oct. 30.-Mr. Dunnell.
in his speech here last night, waxed
wroth and dealt in that personal abuse
which he so rOundly decried at the
opening of the campaign. He abused
Judge Wilson, the GLOBE, the GLOBE :
correspondent and all Democrats to his
hearts content. but he did not change
one vote or bring to his party the har-
mony that is needed to elect him. Both
he and Mr.. Merriam made unfavOrable
impressions, for the one was Old-maid-
ish and the other a novice. Said Mr..
Merriamf
This is beautiful city and beauti-
full place, and ! congratulate you upon
having such a beautiful town. 1t is
such places as this that make Mime
sofa the most beautiful spot Oh the face
of the glObe,''
And so Oh, ad nauseam.
Dunnell and his friends while here
made two statements that deserve some
attention. In his speech Dunnell said /:
II have never received cent OF
money from the Northern Pacific rail
road, and | have letter in my pocket
that TO be true"
This Is in reply to the charge that he
is the paid lobbyist of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. But at Lake
City Mr.. Dunnell admitted that he was
the paid lobbyist of the Northern Pa
cific; at PotSdam he stated that he re-
ceived $500 per month for his services,
and the Republicans of Rochester re-
peated the statement OH the streets
and at FreebOrn he stated that these
services for the Northern Pacific Rail
road company were TO get through a
lob that no one else could. The only
course left for sane man in reading
these statements is to believe that the
author of them is either a knave or a
fool.
Mr.. Dunnell's friends say in regard to
the letters published in the GLOBE of
Friday, and which revealed that he had
never rendered assistance to Lovely.
that this is untrue. and that in fact Dun
nell wrote to w. w. Williams, Offering
his services to Lovely, and that Will
Jams replied:
Mr.. Lovely can be elected without
your services"
took this statement to one of Lovely
old committeeman and he branded it as
false from beginning to end. ''Dunnell
never wrote such a letter nor. in any
wise rendered Us aid was his reply,
and | am inclined to believe him. But
/ am authorized 10 make this offer to
Dunnell:
ANSWER honestly the question as to
your public record, and if you do, the
author of the letters in Fridays GLOBE
will reveal his identity and support
you. He is a Republican, a. strong
Lovely man, and now against you.
Meet your public record honestly and
he will be for YOU Dunnell will not
accept this offer. Of course. He is not
accepting anything concerning his
record. But any one of his friends OF
himself can. by answering a few ques-
tons, know all about the writer of the
letters Of 1856. and why he exposes them
now. The greater portion of the cor
respOndence covers several months in
1856. 1t began before the nominating
convention at KassOn. and was deter
mined effort on the part of two or three
Republicans of Albert Lea personal
friends of Lovely to ascertain how. if
he was nominated. he would run in his
party. Much of the correspondence,
in the form of extracts, is now repro
duced here, sans names; but there is
not a Republican in the district mot
even Dunnell, who knows about the
letters addressed to him. and which
were never answered,) but can know
all about the names omitted if he
chooses to meet the conditions named
above.
NO.
ALBERT LEA, Feb. u, 1885,, Roch-
ester. Dear Sir: If Lovely decides to
make the race tor the nomination. can
Olmsted be depended upon, or rs Start
or Leonard in the field? If Leonard is a
candidate, do you think that he is only
cOncealing Dunnell, who may be sprung
laUer?
2. S.-Judge Start has written, | un-
derstand, that he will not accept under
any circumstances.
WINONA, Feb. Is, 1SS6.--, Albert
Lea.-Dear c.: The word has gone
out into Egypt-Dunnell is in the fight.
Little SlOcum let the cat out of the bag
at st. Paul, and it came here direct.
Lovely, of course, will understand that
this means war. Unless an all-WiSe
Providence removes Dunneli and saves
the district we shall have him to the end.
Davidson, of Austin, might tell you
something of his intentions. Yours,
ALBERT LEA, March s, 1SS6.--
Rochester: We are in for it. Potter, of
Houston, brings Dunnell out " to lay
out that beast Lovely" So he is quoted
as saying. Dunnell is saying quietly
that White is too old to 90 back; that
the Democrats are going TO nominate
Wilson and that he Dunnel) is the
only one who can get the money and
influence necessary TO defeat him. This
is nonsense. Lovely can carry the dis
trict if all pull together. Warn such of
DunnelfS friends as you know of that
If this is to be fight to the knife that
we can use it to. What is Leonard up
to?
NO. +.
WINONA, April 16, 1886. Albert
Lea: If there is a deadlock in the con-
Vention Dunneil then hopes to win. His
friends concede nothing to Lovely and
it would seem foolish to pay any atten-
ton to them. If Wilson is nominated
and Lovely against him all the work
must be done in Winona cOunty-that
is if Dunnell and the rest will look after
the West end. Williams, of course.
knows more about tlat than any one
else.
NO. >.
WINONA. July 5, 1SS6.-Mr.
Albert Lea: 1t is without question that
Dunneil is opposed to Lovely and will
be to the end. The old man has Soured
and jim O'Brien looks glum.
NO. g.
WINONA. July 6, 1SS6.-Mr.
Albert Lea: If you will see Arnold OF
Edgerton, of Kasson. they can probably
tell you what is the matter with Dun
nell. Edgerton is true as steel. --
NO. Z.
OwAToNNA. Sept. >, 1SS6.-W---
Albert Lea: Dunnell has gone into his
shell and no one can get him out. lie
