Has Denounced Him in the
Most Unmeasuped and
Strongest Terms,
For Betrayal Of the Cause Of
the People of His
District,
And Failure to Ever Support
Aught But Selfish
Ends.
Special to the Globe.

AeeiiuiO vi lEO hCpuOllCdu newspapers
of the district to champion his cause
There is yet reputable Republican
journal in the Gi itI-;c. tn he found that
defends his public record or present as
pirations. They cOnfine themselves to
the tariff or assaults upon the cause OF
Congressman Wilson. The reason fol
this silence has been ferretted out by
the GLOBE, and is presented in the fol
lowing extracts taken from the columns
of these papers, and which were pub
lished at the time of the indicated dates.
Of course none of them are prepared to
withdraw what they wrote only six OF
eight years ago, and it stands as pOr-
ton of tue editorial matter of the Re-
publican press of the First district:
THE NEAT.
In the WinOna Republican of April
oath, 1882, appears the following extract
from the Austin Register (Republican)
''Dunnell has just made a spread
eagle speech on the tariff, taking a
stand just the reverse of his former
course. His party are almost unit in
opposition to his former theory, and the
opposition are ditto. What is it that
seems to have changed his mind so sud
denly? 1t looks as though he thinks he
might make some capital in his district
by advocating measure which his con-
stituents are generally in favor of, yet
without the least shadow of a
chance of getting bill through
to make it practical. He has
been eleven years in congress, and
if it has taken all this time to get this
through his wool, it is time We had q
change. Eleven years of voting with
Eastern mOnOpOlieS can't be wiped out
with one spread eagle speech Oh the re-
ductiOn of the tariff, especially when he
ought to know it can't pass. But then,
this district Is being worked for all
there is in it, and if tariff speech will
suffice to catch few votes, well and
good. We want something besides a
reduction of revenue on a box of
matches to make us faithful. We want
the appointments of officials made
satisfactory to the people. We want
to see petition when is is
sent into congress by our people, needed,
and not thrown aside and Ignored be-
cause some individual is ''Sound7 with
the congressman. We want a man for
congress who don't write the kind of
letters which have lately come to light,
and when they are unearthed won't
deny them. WE WANT A MAN WHO
DON'T ASPIRE FOR TOO MANY POSI-
TIONs AT ONCE, for it might result in
his constituency having to quarter him
in order to find a piece for each Office
aSpired to. That would be cruel you see,
We want a man who has lived among
us. and by daily toll among the people,
knows their thoughts, and is capable of
representing them truly. We don't
want a trained politician, but man
who has made the interests of his con-
stituents his own. We want a man,
when his term of Office expires, to say
that lie is willing to return to private
life, and then keep his word. In short,
WE WANT AN HONEST MAN,
whom the people have confidence in.
We don't want man whom it takes
heavens and EARTH to nominate, as-
sisted by national committees, the state
committees, or any other man. We
want man whom everybody will re-
jOice at his being nominated. and whose
candidacy will go through the district
like a ray of sunshine. We want man
nominated whose character is such that
it won't be necessary to draw on the
hard-earned salary of mail agents to
in our man, and therefore we must take
a new candidate, Te think"
In the WinOna Republican of April
Is. 1882, appeared the following extracts
from the Albert Lea Standard (Repub-
lican):
"Dunnell has always voted for. the
highest duties because he had an idea
that he could be elected speaker through
the aid of the protected mOnOpolieS.
Now that this idea has been demon
Strated to be failure. and he finds that
he can not be speaker, he takes the
other track to curry favor with his con-
stituents, whose interests he has always
opposed. The game is too thin. Dun
NELL MUST CO."
The National Republican, of Preston,
said:
1.-The more venality Mark H. Dunnell
displays the more yehemently his par
tisans defend him. lie brazenly de
mands a reelection, and his henchmen
are doing their utmost to return him to
an Office he has disgraced, and his Pres
ton organ is being filled with laudations
of the liar and friend Of f0fgerS and
embezzlers. For the present we leave
the disgusting subject for the people to
think about, with the simple suggestion
that it will be creditable to them to look
for a better man than Dunnell."
On June II, 1892, the Winona Repub-
lean published the following excerpt
from the Minneapolis Tribune:
Mr.. Dunnell can only escape the
charge of diShOnorable conduct by con-
Tossing that he was, through stupidity,
used as an instrument by adrOit thieves
for the accomplishment of a gigantic
piece of robbery. As between cOrrup-
tion and even Sc gross laundering as
is here involved, we prefer to
believe that Mr.. Dunneu has
horribly blundered, but in either
case HIS CLAIM TO CRAFTSMANSHIP Is
EXPLODED AS WITH DYNAMITE. In CO.
operation with Green B. Raum, the dis
tillers' advocate. who acts as commits
sioner of internal revenue, Mr.. Dunnell
devised the scheme whose success would
have inevitably robbed the people of
tens of millions of dollars. He rushed
that scheme through the house of rep
resentativeS under suspension of the
rules and on the strength of his mis-
leading assurance that the measure had
been submitted TO the treasury depart
ment.o
The Winona Republican of June 80,
1882, says:
AV no Ilule WlCnln Tie past TWO
years has it been more painfully obvious
than it is to-day, that if the Republi-
can party of the First dictrict is to be
spared the humiliation of disintergra-
ton and defeat. it must be under other
leadership in the approaching cam
paign than that of the present repre-
of the district in the house.
interested parties may de-
clare to the contrary-may assert that
the wounds and the ranking sores
created two years ago, and in prior cam
paignS, as the result of Mr.. Dunnell's
candidacy, are all healed, or
may be so covered up as to prevent new
and the possibility of politi-
cal disease and death in the future.
This bland assurance, however, cannot
deceive the careful observer.
MIR. DUNNELL HAS, so TO SPEAK.
