T.e Dem Gratis r. cured with two papers
in the Twin Cities asserting themselves tc
be Democratic, ana each doing its best
to elect Ecl-.n. One OF these is the IN
dependant Mime apolis Times.
Tie Globe has Information that there are
men who call themselves Democrats; men
VINO have wggled themselves onto its COM
mittees. WHO are covertly advising Dem
ocrats to vote for Nelson, pretending that
it is necessary to do so to prevent the cleo
ton of owen. The Globe has exposed and
denoun ed this infamy. 1t isn't through
with it.
This deputy Republican paper, with
hypocrisy that would do credit to Crian
Heep, says OF this action of the Globe:
The Globe is right in calling down all
the men under suspicion, and in trying to
hold the party organization together; put
it must remember that the prevention of
such a state of affairs as has come about in
Colorado, to name only one MANNED and
bleeding commonwealth is of infinitely
greater Importance than the election of
party candidate for merely partisan rea-
sons. If Gen. Becker stands any show of
election whatsoever, no Democrat can find
the shadow of an excuse for voting for
Nelson; and it is undoubtedly true that if
the Democratic central committee had
started in to win and had waged vigorous
campaign, the complexion of the political
situation would be vastly different from
what it is today"
Fine words butter no parsnips. Put thls
in plain English, scrape off the slime OF
words, and what is the thought? Becker
stands no snow 1t is of more Importance
to prevent Owens election than to elect
Becker. owens election must be prevented.
Vote for Nelson. That is what was in the
writer's mnd and what he means shall be
read
That is what a cowardly, sneaking, treach-
erous pack of Democrats are whispering
on the street corners; that is the word that
is being sent out of private offices. 1t is
the same old gang and the same old work,
only more openly done. This paper and the
other unmentionabe one are but the cue
koos in type of this gang. They don't want
Becker elected. They never wanted DEM
ocrat elected. They defeated Eugene Will
son and Tom Wilson, and they want Becker
defeated by just enough to give Nelson a
plurality.
1t is time for plain talk. The state cen
trail committee has done all it could. 1t
has means Bricks can't be made with
out straw, nor can campaigns be run with
out money. The men cuckooed by these
papers, and VINO are advising Democrats
to vote for Nelson. the very ones who
besought Becker to become a candidate.
He told them he poor, and could not
stand the expense. They assured him the
means to make the campaign would be
forthcoming. When called on they coolly
gave the solicitor the laugh and told him
to draw his own check. And their cuckoos
berate the committee.
Why did they beseech Becker to stand
We have told of that Sunday meeting of
July 90 in the Merchnts' Hotel 1t was
there decided that a ticket must be put in
the field, or Owen would be Elected and
Nelson defeated. They hunted the state for
a candidate, and met with uniform refusals.
They knew Becker's sterling loyalty to his
party ana they played on it. They got
him nominated, and then deserted Elm,
thinking they had bagged their game. Now,
alarmed at the detection from Nelson, they
fear that Becker Owen will be elected,
and are doing what they can to prevent it.
These are shameful facts. We sick
and tired of this kind of politics and OF
this sort of Democrats. We are weary OF
witnessing the great loyal host Of Demo
Gratis biennially made trading stock of by
this gang of rotten, boodling, corporation
mortgaged Iricksters. buying and toodling
and bulldoZing their way into he orSanlZa-
ton so as to be able to sell the party out
They plot and intrigue to get where they
can ditch the party and then pull the legs
of the Republicans for the dirty work
These cuckoo papers are but their organs
crafty doing their bidding.
1t is right that the Democrats of thu
state should know this The Globe, a.
their only representative here, is but Goins
its duty in telling them the facts and let
ting them know what is being done by
some of their so-called leaders, and wha
this hypocritic sniveling of these assistant
Republican papers means. We know the
Democracy of Minnesota we'll enough tt
know that it will apply the remedy anC
sorely dsappoint the plotters by voting
the Democratic ticket.
