Office because he was in the Union
army, and one of the HeatwOle organs
shamelessly announced that Capt. Reed
lost his arm in threshing ina chine and
not on a battle field.
Roasting Old GOodhue.
Frank Wilson, of Goodhue. has also
come IN for denunciation, and the Re-
publicans of Goodhue, whence the votes
for the Republican candidate must
largely come, have been told that they
have no right to ask for the candidate,
and that the Republican candidate, to
win in the Third district, need only
have the opposition of Goodhue IN the
convention. In the evening Republican
paper yesterday Heatwole had a column
under the head: "Heatwole VIII VIM"
This was principally made up of flat
tering personal comments from Repub-
llcan papers from outside the district;
but, in addition to that, much was made
of what Joel's staff of correspondents
are pleased to Term the ROW in the
Democratic camp" OF course HeatwOle
knows, as do all of his men, that the
denomination of Congressman Hall is
assured. aud that probably by acclama-
ton. But this is the Indiana way of
conducting campaign, and time will
tell if it will win.
Skis rs Not Indiana.
Down in Indiana all that politician
needs to do is to secure nomination.
The election will take care Of itself,
provided his party has majority. This
has never been the case in Minnesota,
as will be shown in Heatwole's case
should he be nominated at Chaska.
That lie is the weakest candidate in the
field for the Republican nomination
there is not the slightest doubt. The
sharp practices used to defraud Capt.
Reed in Renvil!e county, as well as the
miserable manner In which the call for
tine convention was manipulated, ought
to and will cost INN the votes of all
fair-minded and honorable Republicans.
Among other modest statements made
by Candidate Heatwole in his latest bid
are the following:
Directed at Wilson.
ut has been claimed by some of the
friends of Mr.. Reed, who are now try
ing their best to spring dark horse
against HeatWole, that 1t will be abSO-

usual Republican majority in GoOdhue

"By consulting the figures in the Of
fetal returns of the Third district for
the past ten years this wild and unten-
able claim is easily refuted.
