Gen. Jennison Makes Savage
Attack on several Republicans.
A few days ago an article appeared
in the Pioneer Press charging that the
anti-DaviS movement had been started
by ''cabal" of defeated politicians, and
the names of three of them were given.
Of these three, two had never said a
word against Senator Davis, but, on the
contrary, had advocated his return.
These two gentlemen are Hon. j. c..
Flynn, of Little Falls, and Col. Clarke
Chambers, of OwatOnna. The attack
OH Mr.. Flynn drew ont an indig-
nant denial from the Little
Falls Transcript, paper edited
and published by Hon. w. NJ. Fuller,
one of the members-elert from the For
ty-sixth district. Mr.. Flynn's position
is well-known in Morrison county.
where he ran as Davis candidate for
the state senate two years ago. Mr..
Flynn passed through st. Paul yester-
day OH his way to Chicago, and was
asked regarding the report that he is in
the anti-DavIs movement.

Is it a part OF tine organs scheme to
drive away friends of Senator Davis? 1t
certainly looks that way, the case of Mr..
Flynn being paralleled by that of Col.
Clarke Chambers, who is also placed OH
the lis, of cOnspiratorS. Col. Chambers
not only has not approved Mr.. Davis,
but attempted to bring several Of his
friends into line for the senior senator.
For this he was attacked i'll the official
Davis organ, which attack brought out
the following from the Red Wing Re-
publican:

Readers of political news know that every
Republican candidate for the legislature was
either instructed by the convention to vote
for g. X. Davis for senator or had pledged
himself so TO vote.
There were 122, 736 votes cast in this state
for the Republican electors, and 1888 6jf votes
cast on the same day for the Republican can
didates for the legislature. Everybody knows
that the particular aims of the Alliance
voters and the nearest aims of the Prohibit
ton voters are attainable through state legis-
lative action. The increase of the Harrison
vote, under such circumstances, by per
cent to secure q Republican legislature
indicates the desire of the people that Sena-
tor Davis should be reelected.

As for the defeated Republican candidates

trusted to be safe for Davis. they remind one
of the fox i'll the fable who had lost his
handsome tail through fooling with a steel
trap. To lessen his own shame he then tried
to persuade the other foxes to have their
tails cut off to the same length. When they
first knew of his misfortune they pited MIN,
but when he recommended them to cut their
own tails off, as both handsome and IL
healthy thing to do, they only laughed at
him.
