Wall FROM WAILvILLE.
Driven Into the Last Ditch,
the Republicans Plead
for Votes.
The State Conceded to the
Democracy in a Maudlin
Address.
An AFFECT Confession of the
Weakness Of Cause and
Candidates.
The Legislature Goes With
the ReSt--A Tear for
Davis.

It is the last wall Of a despairing
clique that sees defeat, overwhelming
defeat ahead.
This is the only way to properly de-
scribe the so-called address issued by
the chairman of the Republican state
central committee yesterday.
Its every word and paragraph con-
cedes the defeat of the defenders, abet-
tors and patrons of ring rule and dis
honest politics. 1t is gasp for breath,
and the mind of the man who penned it
must be sadly out of gear.
Chairman Jamlson, to use popular
phrase and one full of meaning, has
wheels in his head" OF course he has
had very hard row to hoe in this cam
paign, and it is no small wonder that he
has become esperate-many stronger
and ADLER men would have given up the
job of defending ali the heightened rob-
bers who have been fatteuing off of the
state and nation for years, and gone
home long ago. But Chairman Jamison
could have chosen some method of wind
ing up the defensive campaign that
would have left him with few particles
of self-respect, and would have given
the Republican ticket more votes.
The people of Minnesota have been
against the Republican rings and COM
binationS all through this campaign,
ana have refused to be caught by any
of the bats SO cunningly offered by
Chairman JamiSOn, and the Doodle that
has been sent out in such quantities to
all parts of the state has 10 power to
STAY or stem the tide.
Of course, this is diScOuraging to
man of Chairman JamiSon's tempera-
ment. but it is no reason why ne should
tell the people how he feels and dis
gust them by column of imbecile
epithets and innuendoes that no de-
cent, fair-minded or self-respecting
man would be guilty of using. If there
are any people who doubt that Chair
man Jamison is III sore distress they
need only read few cnoice excerpts
from this So-called address. \ choice
one follows:
ut is all attempt to deprive this great
commonwealth of her vote and rights
in the selection of 4 president and vice
president and of her rightful share in
the national legislature"
Who is attempting TO deprive Mime
sofa of a vote in the electoral college?
The Democracy is very much interested
in having the full vote of Minnesota
cast for president and vice president,
and it is not attempting to buldoZe or
buy the election of its candidates.

Since when has it become crime to
vote against BEN amin Harrison in this
state?
Since when has it become a crime to
vote for men who will oppose contin-
ued favorable legislation for the wheat,
iron, pine and other rings in this state?
Since when has it become crime in
this state for the people to vote for leg

But Chairman JamiSon grows wilder
as he goes on i'll his rawlings. Listen to

ut is a scheme of deception. of fraud.

This sentence shows that the Repub-
lican state chairman is in the depths of
| despair for no sane man would sign his
name to such words as these.
| And. by the wav, do not such words
sound strange coming from the lips of
Bob JamisOn, the tool of a gang that
has and would resort to any trjckery or
any means to carry their ends. The
people have not forgotten the Doodle
campaign of the Republican party in
| this state, any more than they have the
fact that all through this campaign this
same Jamison has been the apologist
and defender of every ring and every
miSdeed committed in this state.
cit is for you, men of Minnesota, to
say what you think of the fusion con-
summated between the bosses of the
Democratic and the Peoples parties,
