Cal Gossip.
Capt. A. II. Reed came in from Glen
zoe yesterday morning, and in very
few minutes put to rest the reports
started by the Heatwole managers to
the effect that he was about to retire in
favor of the Mortified man.
"WhO said would retire from the
race for congress?" he said. in an indig.
| nant tone of voice. This shows how |
am going to pull off in the interests of
Mi. HeatwOIe." he said, as he pulled
formidable roll OF legal papers from his
pockets. Here" he continued. ''are
the blank forms for my petition. and,
as soon as can consult my attorney,
shall start out through the district.
While | need only about $50 signatures, l
do not intend to stop when l get that
number. l have already received more
than twice $50 letters from friends in
various parts of the district. pledglng
me their hearty support. | shall go to
these God Republican friends and visit
their friends and neighbOrs with them
and state my case and secure their
signatures"
At this juncture a wel-known Re
publican caught sight OF Capt. Reed
and at once approached him with
plea that he get out of the race.
Get out of the field" fairly shouted
Capt. Reed. 81 propose to show the
gang in control of the Republican party
in TIE Third district that they cannot
down the old veterans in that way.
Why, at Sh akopee l was told that the
word was passed around that the old
fellows should he retired. One man
said they lad nothing against me. but
they were ordered to Kick me out i'm
favor of a younger man. Now we shall
see if
Crowd From Indiana
can come into Minnesota and take pos
h session of everything in sight. l have
/ lived in Minnesota for forty years. and
have always had large interests in the
Third district, while this man. Heat
wOle, has been here less than ten years,
during the most of which time he has
been drawing salary in some capacity
from the Republican party. We sent
Ishim to Chicago in 1883 to keep him
|squiet, and |, for one, am going to stand
lit no longer"
|. But, as good Republican, you
ought to retire." argued the gentlemen
i who is alluded to above.
81 am as good Republican as ever
was" replied Capt. Reed, land am
| doing the party service as we'll as the
| people by calling attention to the fraud
,ulept practices that now prevail at the
| primaries throughout this state. am
supporting the Republican state ticket.
| and will continue to do so. but am
! candidate for congress in the Third
! district. and l believe / will receive
| more votes than Joel Heatwole. In
| former times it was the practice as we'll
! as the saving, Young men for war, old
men for COUNSEL They have reversed
this in Minnesota with the result that
from a majority of 10000 they have
reduced US to plurality of 1000.
! Four years ago. when Heatwole was
| chairman Of the state committee. before
he went to Europe, called at the head
| quarters and found on his door sign
reading: Keep OUT 1t made me mad.
There has been too much of that kind
| of business on the Republican side in
this state during the last ten years, and
| they have put out and kept out a great
| many Republicans. 1t is time to retire
such leaders. l have fought for the
| Republican party during my whole life,
because l believed in it. and l have
been swindled and deceived for the last
| time. l am going to rip things up the
back in the Third district from this
| time on.
| Capt. Reed consulted his attorneys
| and left the city about o'clock. armed
! with bundle of blank forms. Before
leaving he said:
81 desire to warn my friends against
| all reports stating that have pulled out
| of the race for congress. | have no i'll
tentiOn of doing such thing, and my
| friends will please remember that all
| such reports are put in circulation by
| my enemies. and are designed to inJure
me. The fight am making cannot be
| compromised or Quoted. 1t might as
| well be fought now as later"
| Time to Revolt in the Third.
During the time Capt. Reed was chat.
! ting with the GLOBE representative
letter was handed to him, which he read
! and then handed to the reporter. with the
remark: This is sample of the letters
am receiving by every mail" This
letter was from GoOdhue county, and
read as folio VS.:
| Capt. A. II. Reed, Glencoe, MIMI
| Dear Sir: Allow me to congratulate
| you Oh the noble stand you have taken.
Your action commends itself to every
lover of fair play and desire to see the
wishes of the people prevail.
Every man who has lived In the Third
congress siOnal district knows that for
several years you have been the choice
of the rank and file of the Republican
party for congress, and that had it not
been for the Vaccinations Of few dis
honest leaders ana dishonest methods
you would have been in congress ten
E.years ago. 1t was very easy to see that
they thought you 80 party-bound that
nothing would prevent you supporting
the party; and, hence. to crafty their
selfish ambition, they did not hesitate
80 slaughter you in conventions, and at
Chaska they had the same old trap set,
little thinking but that, as in former
lyears, you would take your medicine
lsavith the same G race as in former days.
III We must have purity in our primaries
land conventions; of what avail was the
Il eSacIifice of your arm in the rebellion If
i Che liberty to vote aad the right to
Il choose our own legislators are denied?
II Unless there Is great change in these
4 3natters a severe conflict awaits this
4 country in the future. Go on, and may
the honoroble spirit that prompted you
/ to enter the field return you to congress.
