and thus enable him to comprehend
some of the causes of revolt against
him in the First district. that we Gull
some expressions of opinion concerning
his public record. These are the opin-
ions of those who were in position to
know, and as most of them come from
his own party associates, Mr.. DUNNELL
cannot complain of any partisan intent
on our part in recalling them.
MARK III. DUNNELL is man whose
record was always made up on the side
of corporations" is the testimony of
Hon. w. S. HOLMAN, the old watch
dog of the treasury.
Another prominent statesman, whose
veracity has never been questioned,
and who has every opportunity for
knowing the exact truth about Mr.
DUNNELL'S record, says: MIR. Dun
NELL'S record is not one to cOnjure
votes. When in congress he voted
against the forfeiture of land grants
which had long lapsed. His recond on
the bonded whisky bill is regarded cor
rupt even in this city of lobbyists. On
almost every question the people are
deeply interested in Mr.. DUNNELL is
on the wrong side, and shall be sur
prised to learn the First Minnesota dis
trlct has gone back on its integrity and
returned HIM to congress"
But for fear that Mr.. DUNNELL may
think our authorities are too far-fetched.
we will come a little nearer home and
read to him all extract from his own
party organ in his home state. We quote
from the Pioneer Press under date of
Feb. 6, 1884:
''lf there is a man In the state of Min

that man is Mr.. DUNNELL. A marplOt

public service of the state for series
of years by unblushing use of the pat
ronage at his command, and at length
rejected and cast off by the voters of his
own district.
''He has been the chief supporter of

His occupation at the national capital,

from the seat to which he chung so tena-

type of all that politician ought not to

bribery i'll the KEIFER-BoYNToN case,
there is no dissent about the fact that
DUNNELL desired to be recognized for
the sake of the MCGARRAHAN bill. The

Jackal with an offer to divide fat car

case the buzzard had first detected the
faint of infection in the air, and his
eminence as carbon finder is the one
point of agreement in the whole dis

There is a popular impression that
MIR. DUNNELI's abilities as carrion

Capt w. H. HARRIEs is as clean a

integrity is Of the perpendicular sort,
and he would suffer his good right arm
to be severed from the body rather than
be suspected of having an itching palm.
He has soldiers record to be proud of,

mistake by sending Capt. HARRIEs to
congress.
