DAVIS HARD PRESSED.
The Senior Senator ID deliberately
Misrepresents Facts to His
Hearers.
How Senator Washburn Pulled
the Wool Over His
Eyes.
A campaign of false pretenses.

A campaign of false pretenses.
This is the kind of campaign that has
been made by Senator G. K. Davis.
And in no one thing has this been so
we'll illustrated as in the attacks he has
made on Congressman Castle.
AS every man knows who watched
the proceedings of congress, Minneapo-
lis was made the head of navigation in
the senate of the United States, Senator
Washburn, as usual, neatly "dolng up"
his sleepy colleague.
And yet G. K. Davis has gone up and
down through st. Paul declaring that
Congressman Castle was to blame.
To begin with it is narrow issue for
a United States senator to raise, but he
becomes worse than base when he de-
liberately tries to deceive the people.
When party has been i'll power a
long series Of years, it becomes corrupt
and Its conscience becomes callous.
This is the case in Minnesota. Senator
Davis has developed into the arch
leader of the horde of falsifers. His
villanous attacks upon Congressman
Castle illustrate his true character. He
has so little regard for truth, that it
would be a dangerous thing indeed for
even were it possible. That calamity,
people, will never again be foisted
upon Minnesota.
But Mr.. Davis warfare upon Con-
gresham Castle calls for more than a
passing criticism. 1t is low and dis
reputable. 1t is so false that the records
of the Fifty-first congress blush with
shame for this man. who has posed as
statesman and just and honorable
citizen. Can any one believe that a
politician who will villainously traduce
another
Gan Be Trusted
in fiduciary position? Ii Senator Davis
will deliberately lie about Congressman
Castle, and this in the face of public
records, is 1t not reasonable to suppose
that he will do other meannesses?
In his seIf-conceit and self-adulation,
Mr.. DAVIS, On the stump in this CITY.
proclaims that he put bill through the
senate providing for all increase in the
appropriation for st. Paul's government
building of 81. 100000. Then he charges
with that gigantic gall that has charac-
terlzed his later political career, that
Congressman Castles apathy and in
difference lost it!
HOW lie Qdr6S 10 uLLer SuCQ notorious
falsehoodS before his constituents and
before an intelligent and well-posted
people is truly amazing. Can it be that
he expects that Minnesota will re-elect
him upon the record he has made on the
stump. advocating the cause of a man
that must necessarily be a spectacle,
should the misfortune be visited upon
this state, and upon the great district
of which the capital is the center? Can
it be that he expects to go to success by
lying?
Mr.. Davis goes on in his unblushing
defamation and outrage of truth and
history TO relate that Congressman Cas-
tie neglected this bill in the house, and
that had he not done SO it would have
been passed. as was the appropriation
for Kansas Cityl What audacity!
The records brand the lie! Not ST
was appropriated for public building
whatsoever during the last session of
eongresS!
Davis knew this when he proclaimed
that Kansas City got Its appropriation
Davis knew that the extravaganza of
the Fifty-frst congress had depleted the
treasury, and that there was no money
for such purposes, and that it was for
this reason every state in the Union
asked in vain for legitimate appropria-
tionsl
There we're upwards Of 300 bills intro
duced during the session for public
