tempt to answer the questions asked
him by Congressman Hall in the latter's
South st. Paul speech.
This decision was reached by the
Mortified statesman, who spent all
yesterday in the city, after he had in
terviewed a number of the Republican
managers and all of his friends on the
outside who CHANGED to be within reach.
To IL of the latter class he went early
in the morning, after he had started
Chairman Bixby to work on Capt. Reed,
and said:
Shall a answer the questions asked
by Congressman IIall?"
II don't believe l would il l were

THAT is just my view in the matter"
replied the Third district Republican
candidate, as a smile indicating conf
dence restored played ON his counte-
nance. ''Some of them are rather hard
to answer, and besides, he might ask
some more"
The fact that all the Republican pa
pers of the Twin Cities have practically
confessed hat Mr.. Halls great speech

tensive troubles not only Mr.. Heatwole
and his managers, but also the Repub-

editorials in the Twin City Republican
papers yesterday OH the subject demon

Mr.. Hall will again prove successful.
To be exact, it stated that he would

editorial follows:
The movement in Democratic circles
to defeat o. NJ. Hall for denomination

not succeed. The revolt against him

the convention assembled it broke all to
pieces. and Mr.. Hall vas renominated

HeatwOle, the Republican candidate,
will find Mr.. Hall a formidable oDp0-

a few votes too formidable.
Letting Joel Down Easy.
The Minneapolis journal was sorely

The Democrats picked out the best
man they had for congress in the Third

people of his district during the past
eighteen months, and which they cam

Another suggests that Joel make Mr..
Hall defend himself. Ii the journal

Then there is the ST. Paul Dispatch;

Third district member did not succeed
in throwing MIR. Heatwole on the de-

showed that the contrary is the case.
| An extract from this follows: SD
The Democratic nominee in the Third
congressional district has signaiized
his denomination by playing p%edagogue.
lie made a very long speech to the con-
veHtiOn thai gave him a denominations,
but he had the shire wdness, as we'll as
the hardihood, to start in on his cam
paigp by seeking to put his adversary
on the defensive. Congressman Hall is
not the proper man to ask questions.
There are too many intelligent voters
in his district who are intent that his
time shall be devoted to answering,
rather than to asking.
Let .Joel Ask Them.
II there are so many questions that
Mr.: Hal should answer why does not
Candidate Heatwole ask them either on
the stump or in his newspaper? But
Congressman Hail will answer any he
may ask, there is M DOUBT. The people
know where he stands and they want TO
know where his opponent Will stand, if
elected.
The second editorial in the evening
Republican organ of st. Paul shows how
impossible it is for brethren to dwell
together in harmony. Although neither
the Pioneer Press nor the Dispatch
would give space to the news when it
was favorable to Capt. Reed in the con-
test for the Republican nomination in
the Third district, and both are united
in shouting that Hall has mol placed
