NELL Is THE ANANIAS OF MINNESOTA
POLITICIANS, and the people are sound

political death.
CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM.
MankatO Free Press: Without ques-
ton the successful effort OF Mr.. Dunnell
to crowd this extension bill through the
house was one of the MOST BAREFACED
EFFORTS AT PLUNDERING THE GOV
EMINENT TREASURY THAT HAS BEEN
CONCEIVED IN TUE PRESENT GENERA
TON, and by thwarting the huge scheme
in the senate, Mr.. Window has saved
the taxpayers of the nation sum OF
money that ranges in the tens of mill
ions.
LAID OUT COLD.
WinnebagO City Press: The whisky
bond bill is defeated in the United
States senate. The most stupendOus
iob, of the season is killed. Dunnell is
laid out cold, though his name is not
even mentioned. Senator Window did
it with his little Ratchet.
We look upon the exposure and de-
feat of the measure and the plain state
ment of the matter made by Mr.. Win
dom in the senate as vital blow to the
political aspirations of Mr.. D., FOR THE
MAN WHO WILL THUS DEBAsE HIMSELF
AND PANDER TO THE INTEREST OF
WHISKY SPECTATORS, AND AGAINST
THE GOVERNMENT, IS UNWORTHY ANY
LONGER TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE IN
THE HALLS OF CONGRESS-.
SENATOR WINDOWS SPEECH.
Albert Lea Standard: We know that
speeches are usually regarded as dry
reading, and are read by very few, but
this speech will be found interesting by
all, not only from its subject matter
alone, but because of the fact that it is
an exposition of the infamous character
of measure which was introduced in
the house and forced through under
suspension Of the rules, and with false
statements, by the man who has repre-
| Sented this district for twelve years.
and who is now asking reelection for
| two years more.
Here then is speculation promising
more profit twice over to ring than all
the wheat that Minnesota farmers have
sold in any one year. Does anybody
| believe that there was no money used to
secure the passage of this bill through
the house? DID WE SEND DUNNELL TO
CONGRESS TO RUSH THROUGH SUCH
MEASURES AS THIS WITHOUT DEBATE,
when there is not whisky distitler in
HIS uISlTIClg w utIl ulu le Hittk6 SucH
an effort to secure the passage of
bill in the interest of his cOnstit-
uents? When did he try to secure the
enactment of a measure to reduce the
tariff on salt, lumber, sugar, paper, and
a thousand other articles that enter into
the daily and necessary consumption of
those who put him where he is? These
are questions that must be answered by
every voter in this district. and that
soon. Dunnell is asking their support
to return him to the house. and the de-
cision upon his request will be made in
the caucuSes throughout the district
within a few days. Let every voter
consider these questions carefully. and
be prepared to give an intelligent an
swer when the proper time arrives.
DUNNELL'S DEFENSE.
WinOna Republican, July 5, 1882: A
Washington correspondent of the st.
Paul Pioneer Press enters into a lengthy
defense Of-or rather apology fOr-Mr.
DunnelPS connection with the whisky
bond bill. The bill itself is admitted to
have been incapable of defense-a huge
piece OF jObbery, surrounded and crowd
ed to the front by corrupt influences.
After giving history of the bill from
its birth in a house subcommittee until
it succumbed in the senate under 'Win-
dom's tremendous philippics. 'and allud-
ing to the surprised and unfavOrable
comment elected by Mr.. Dun
nelI's appearance as the putative
father of a measure of that kind
a measure foreign and opposed to the
interests of his constituency-the con-
clusion is reached that she did not fully
understand his subject" and was hood
winked by Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
representative of the distiIling interests
of that state. We do not desire to chal-
lenge this charitable judgment. But it
is proper at this time, when Mr.. Dun
nell is again-in violation of his pledge
of two years ago-soliciting renomi-
nation at the hands of the Republicans
of this district, to inquire what this de-
Tense means. And by the way. in his
familiar role of candidate for re-
nomination, there is introduced an
original element in the pro-
gramme this time, perhaps to
relieve the mOnotony of his perform
ance. He says he wants a reelection
to the house III order to strengthen him
self for square fight for WINDOWS
place in the senate. The father of the
whiSky-in-bond bill wants to take the
place of the man at whose hands it suf-
fered death-askS the people of this
state to make the exchange. Let it be
conceded that in advocating and rushing
through the bill under the gag rule .'he
did not fully understand the subject
the only subject of any general impOr-
lance with which his name has be-
come associated during his long serv-
ice in congresS-iS it not humilat-
ing to hear him plead the baby act?
While serving his sixth term in the ma
tional legislature our representative
comes forward as The sponsor for
measure of huge proportions. and when
its evil character is exposed the plea of
ignorance is set up. Poor fellow. He
didn't know the gun was loaded. We
were not prepared at this day to see
him place himself in position where
to defend his honesty is to accuse his
intelligence-where we must call him
an ignOramuS to rescue him from the
application of worse epithet.
Unfortunately, this is not the only
instance where his lack of intelligence
not to say of moral instinct-has been
made painfully manifest. He under
took recently to advocate tariff reform,
and managed, by series of prepos-
ferrous statements, to expose a respect
able cause to ridicule. Mr.. Dunnell's
constituents may well ask of him, as a
personal favor to themselves. that for
the remainder of his term he will OBJ
serve that discreet silence upon large
and economic questions which charae-
teriZed the first eleven years of his |
congressional career"
THE SITUATION.
Ninona Republican, July :, 1892: In
less than three weeks the congressional !
convention for the First district will as |
sembie at Rochester, and the Repub- |
lican electors of the various counties |
will meanwhile be called upon to choose |
delegates thereto. The time has come |
to look the situation squarely in the |
face. There should be no further |
trifiing-no ignoring of the actual facts |
and the dangers which they imply.
The First district. as reconstructed. |
