A, DASTARDLY TRICK. i Dirty Scheme, Deliberately Planned, to Politically Assault E. M. Wilson. Public Condemnation Falls Upon It, and It Proves a Perfect Koomcrans. A. Piece of Partisan Villany That Works Xo Evil Except To Its Authors. i The most contempt! ble. scurrilous piece 3f campaign work came out yesterday morning in the two Republican papers. The fact that it was printed the same day in both papers is sti__ic_et:t evidence that it was a concocted piece of political ydlatny, and a riisg>:tee to nobody but tiie pnsiilani tnoiis authors. It is only necessary to r,nt it hen. to call down on the heads of the signers the just execration of eveiy decent man: Minneapolis. Minn.. Oct. 80— Hon. E. M. Wilson near Sir: You ure reported by the St. Pau Globe, which ought to be good au thority in tbe premises, as having voucaed, in a public : ddress. tor the pood character of Dr. A. A. Ames, the Democratic candidate for governor of Minnesota. Permit us to ask of you. in this public manner, two ques tions, answers to which, it seems to us. are due to the people or this community and state: 1. Did you publicly state in sub stance that Dr. Ames _* a man of good char acter, and one who ne d no defense in the community where he lives? 2. If so, would you be willing to invite him across the threshold of your own home, and have him as a guest of our family? Awaiting your early response, we are. yours truly, a. B. nkttlktox, O. a. Prat, D. C. Bi.LL. This dastardly piece of work, which is a political assault upon lion. E. M. Wilson. was concocted when its authors well knew Mr. Wilson was absent from the city and could uot give it his attention. Were he here he would give these assassins of char acter the rebuke they so richly deserve. He is so well intrenched in the respect and es teem of the people of Minneapolis and of the state, that an assault from such a source is like shooting arrows at the sun. The letter was publicly condemned yester day, the most partisan Republicans depre cating it A GAIN OF ONE VOTE. To the Editor if the Globe. I read In the morning paper a letter signed by Messrs. Netileton, Pray and Dell. 1 was surprise^ until I reflected upon the eoaree of Geo. Nettieton nt the recent W. C. T. 1., when it occurred to me it was very characteristic. Permit me to say I am a Republican, but if the Republican cause is so desperate as to re quire bolstering by 6uch moans as this. I must conclude the people are almost unani mous for Dr. Ames, and will add my vote to swell his majority. That letter is simply in famous. M. D. IL WHO can VOUCH FOR them? To the Editor of the Globe: I see that A. B. N'ettieion, D. C. Bell and O. A. Pray are out in a card asking K. M. Wilson (whom they know to be out of the city) whether no could vouch for the moral character of Dr. Ames, and whether he would invite him to visit his house. Mr. Wilson will doubtless treat them with the contempt they merit. Let roe ask who will vouch for the moral character of the man who sells one piece of real estate and deeds another'/ Who will vouch for the oil.- indi vidual who nearly beggared bis partner in business? Who lias been beard to offer odds on th.- integrity of the man who hasn't felt well since Dr. Ames laid him out for alder man of the Ninth ward many years ago? And who 16 there that does not know that anti- Aristocrat Ames wouldn't cross the thresh hold of either of the three worthies? Nettle. To the Editor of the Globe. For a specimen of palezolc nerve, mummi fied gall, macadamized jaundice or whatever you might call it, commend roe to the item in yesterday's Tribune, in which Deacon Nettle ton and his partner challenge a personal opinion, publicly expressed, of Hon. E. M. W'ilsou, regarding the mayor of Minneapolis. By riirht or authority do these three men, who, to say the least, are not saints by any means, arrogate to themselves the privil ege Of questioning the motives of Mr. Wilson, in indorsitig a man who is the personification, aside from his rather extreme views on auti sumptuary topics, of decency, dignity and pbilanthrophy? Look at the records of the Obailensrers and of the man whom they as sume is not their social equal. Mr. Nettieton was for years a professional beggar on the Tribune* and was finally compelled to sell his franchise for a song. Mr. Pray is the figurehead of a manufacturing concern in this city whose financial operations have been convenicut,and D. C. Hell is a mild-man nered, inoffensive and uninformed gentleman, •who knows little of the ways of the world be yond the interest tables of a broker's office. On the other hand, E. M. Wilson is a highly successful lawyer of keen judicial acumen, baring experience in Minnesota politics and an abiding faith in the inevitable triumph of risht regardless of either extreme of fanat icism. Albert A. Ames is one of nature's noblemen against, whom no reasonable charge has ever been made in public life. If he be not the social equal of Messrs. Netil ton. Pray et al.. it is because he 13 not constitu tionally { redisposed to hypocrisy and cant. But Dr. Ames has 100 friends where Deacon Nettieton has one, right among the upper strata of society. This is the first campaign in which I ever heard a man's social stand in* brought into the issues of the fight, and will certainly commend the accused to the good wishes of ali true-hearted men, regard less of caste. W. B. "AS TRANSPAREXT AS GLASS." Republican Papers Shown to be I.i_tr<t by Their Own Utterances. Mayor Ames has been accused by the Minneapolis paper in its morning and even ing issues of slandering the city, because cc has had the boldness to denounce the wheat ring as an agent of Injury to the fanners. The following attack upon this self-same wheat ring was published editor ially in the Evening Journal in its editions of Sept 8 and 9: The grain business of the Northwest is to day practically under the control of one of the most powerful pools ever organized. Some weeks ago it was announced that the Millers' association would be abandoned. It was abandoned, but two othtrs haTe arisen to take its place, if any one imagines that the result is likely to be in any sense a benefit to the producer it is to be feared his hopes for an improvement in this respect are not to be realized. One of these associations is the Millers' union. It is apparently a very inno cent sort of combination by which all the mil lers agree to buy all their wheat together, at a uniform price, by sample, on 'change, the total purchase of each day to be di cided among the various mills according to their needs. These purchases are made by two agents of the union at prices for GRADE WHEAT In store, fixed by a committee of three mill ers. The other association is made up of the elevator companies and local buyers, cover ing the greater part of the territory west nnd southwest tributary to Minneapolis. Tho buying by this association is at uniform agreed prices quoted daily to all buyers in the country from Minneapolis headquarters. Tbe price is regulated oy the price of grade wheat that day, and the millers' union fixes the prices of grade wheat. This all looks harmless enough. But it isn't. In the first place there is no more competition be tween tbe buyers than if there were only one in tbo field. The powerful inducement of mutual interest and flroflt is strong enough. apparently, to bold this pool together. They even go so far as to divide the business between themselves, and if one member of the association complains that he is not getting his share the others are ready to turn over business to him and even up all around for the sake of maintaining tbe pool. This organization not only seeks to monopolize the grain business in the territory through which it extends, bur it has been powerful enough thus far to add 2 cents to the margin upon whicb'it buys. » * * Another feature of the profitable prstom under which the gram pool is operat ing is the advantage gained by buying Dy grade in tbe country and selling by sample iii the market. As 6tat.»d in the Journal a few days ago, the grain pool has succeeded in increasing the margin from 3 cents, the flture last year, to 5 cents per busheL That itds- cents to the profit of handling it, and cuts off _. cents from every bushel of every _rrade of wheat bought by grade in the terri tory in which this pool operates. This is caiaimed to be a legitimate profit. Perhaps it 18. lt is large enough, however, to hold the buyers together in A POWWUtTI. MON'OPOI-Y of the grain-buying in the country, and pays bo well that no one thus far bas care! to break it. but, on tbe other band, the slightest complaint from any member that be is not getting his share of the grain results in di verting, the stream to him until he has Bought up and hie percentage is full. * * » As they say in tho play: "It is just as transparent as glass," when you once see through it, and we predict that when the farmers coma to understand bow they are being compelled to give up an additional 2 cents a bushel by this pool of grain buyers and millers they will find someway to stop it. What more than this has Mayor Ames said? What more could he say? He has only been more explicit and has mentioned names where the Journal has referred in general terms to the "powerful peol." If Mayor Ames has slandered Minneapolis, what has the Journal done? Another striking instance of imbecile in consistency and palpable unfairness is fur nished by this same paper, in both its morning and evening editions, in regard to the attitude of Mayor Ames towards the switchmen's strike. Mayor Ames, it will be remembered, returned to the city Sun day, Oct. 17, and issued a proclamation asking the railroads and the switchmen to settle the differences by arbitration. In its issue of that morning the Tribune said: Mayor Ames in his proclamation followed j si! the suggestions which wo printed yester i. y for the solution of the difficulty. j '1 ne Evening Journal in its issue of Oct. j 16. the day before, had: i There never was a case where arbitration i could be more properly resorted to than in I tL_i» instance. Yet both these papers have the assump tion in their succeeding issues to denounce him for his course and call upon him for 1,000 armed men to protect the railroad property, at the same time representing that the city was at the mercy of a mob, when in fact there was no resort to vio lence, and the disorderly acts went no further than the occasional pulling of a car pin or the drawing of the fire from an en gine, all of which occurred previous to Oct. 17. UP 4SD AT THEM. Hennepin Republicans on tlie Rim" Tlie C'o.-_i.y Surely f»r vino. There is not the slightest doubt that Hennepin county will to-morrow give Mayor Ames a ringing indorsement, and it is now only a question whether his majority shall be 6,000 or 10,000. After that magnificent demonstration on Satur- day night, and that uneqnaled ovation at Washington rink, all doubt passed away, and night, a bold Republican who will at Washington rink, all doubt passed away, and it i.-> a boid Republican who will not concede at least S,OiK) majority in the ; county. Every element that contributed to Mayor Ames' election last spring will be increased and magnified to-morrow, and ; the heavy registration — 87,000 in the city, means a proportionate increase of his majority. He will carry the county, outside" of the city, and Demo crats very reysonally expect to see the majority the city will give him substanti ally increased by the country vote. Demo -1 crats who never before supported him will vole and are now working for his election. \ Where he received four labor votes, last ' spring, he wiil receive five to-morrow. j Where he received two Scandinavian votes ' then, he v. ill get three now. The German j vote is sol.d for him and the glorious ova -1 tion he received last night shows how the sons of the Green Isle are practically a unit for him. Let no Democrat abate his good work, j A big majority in Hennepin couuty means | I the certain election of Ames. The election I of Ames means the restoration of power to j the people and the death of the rings which i for years have fattensd and grown rich on the people. Be at the polls early and see that every vote is out ELECTION BETS. J. B. Bottineau Shows His Confi dence in Ante*' Election. The Tribune yesterday stated that J. B. Bottineau had offered to bet 5i. 400 on Ames' election, but had "backed down" when Freeman P. Lane offered to cover the amount Actuated by its hatred of the truth, the Tribune, as usual, misrepre sented the case. Mr. Bottineau called at the Globe office to ask a correction, which is hardly necessary, but which is as fol lows: I did offer to bet all the money I had with | me. $1,400, in reply to some Republican brag ! gadocio. Mr. Lane offered to take me, ! and went away ostensibly - to get the money. I I waited an hour for him, but he did not I show up, so I took sever d other bets, and j when he did return, a hall hour tutor. I had I only $300 left. 1 offered to put this up. but j Lane decline! to grasp the opportunity I ! was betting my own money and not other ! people's. I don't expect to buck the millers' ring, but I have $1,000 more to bet on Ames, i which Freeman P. Lane or any one else can cover if they wish. My friend J. M. Myers also offers to be* Freeman P. Lane $30, tbat Ilice will beat Giirillan; ?.",o, that Bwenson will beat Bracket! ; $39, that Ames will be : governor; 550, that Ames will carry Henne , pin county. TWO DOLi.AU!. A HEAD The Price ''aid for Torch Bearers in the Republican Procewdon. The magnificent demonstration by the Democrats Saturday night, and the popular ovation given Mayor Ames upon his return ; to the city, struck terror to the hearts of the Republicans, and while the procession ! was passing their headquarters the leaders j were already in conference as to what could ; be done towaads bolstering up the "grand i Republican rally" announced for Monday I night. Subsequent developments show : plainly that the decision was that every I means, fair or foul, must be used to per | suade, bulldoze or even buy men into car i rying torches iv the McGill parade. That : night and yesterday manufacturers and ' merchants were visited and urged to instruct their employes to appear in the i parade and all the political clubs appealed ! to. lt appears that this appeal did not i meet with the most hearty response and di | rect offers of money have been made. The following instance shows the modus oper | andi of the plan: Saturday night William ! Thomas, who holds thee ombined position of ' sweeper and time-keeper at the Washburn J A mill, went among the men offering them iS3 apiece to carry Republican torches. j Only two out of the 200 employed by the I mill, it is believed, had accepted the offer |up to last night. Thomas, who was intox i icated at the time, was very persistent in \ his effort to obtain "enthusiastic Republi- I cans'' for the parade, and finally some one i significantly asked him why he took so much interest iv the matter. "Cosh we wantsh to down the whisky crowd," he hiccoughed. KOIS.X; THE COBSTHY. Warming tip Rich J field Town.bip --Enthusiasm for Ames. Yesterday afternoon the Democrats of Cahill settlement held an enthusiastic meet | ing at their school house, aud listened with I intense satisfaction to Matt Walsh, J. J. McCafferty, Chris A. Gallagher and Judge i Quinn, who expounded Democratic pnnci : pies with telling effect, and neutralized the I false impression left upon the minds of the ! audience by the sophistical arguments on .; high license made by Republican spouters lat the same place a week ago. Matt Walsh j paid a glowing eulogy to Mayor Ames, and i referred to his sincerity of purpose | and his solicitude for the farming : and laboring classes, who are now ! determined to reward hint by placing ! him in the gubernatorial chair, where lie ' can be of more service to the people and . the terror of rings and monopolies, lie i then passed on to Hon. Edmund Rice, and I urged his hearers to give him their undi | vided support. lie spoke of P. P. S wen | son as the pioneer Scandinavian Democrat lof the county, a man of honor and high | principle, who has been always true to his I convictions. Thomas Scott, Chris A. J Gallagher and Anton Grethen were not for : gotten, and in concluding he modestly re i ferred to himself, and promised that in case | of being re-elected he would in the future, !as in the past, give the tax payers of the county a clear and accurate receipt when they paid him. ;J. J. McCafferty delivered one of his char | acteristic speeches, which roused the audi- I ence to tire highest pitch of excitement i Chris Gallagher followed him, and it is safe i to say that since Thomas Francis Meagher ! spoke in the building, twenty years ago, ! there has not been heard such genuine Irish oratory as he treated the Irish fanners to '■ yesterday. Johu Woods presided and made ! a fine introductory address, which was ap i plauded to the echo. Richfield township is i for Ames and reform and the entire Demo cratic ticket from top to bottom.

Desperate lt«sort of Republicans to Uistract Attention From the Real Ensues. The Republicans papers are searching their files for every word that has been said, either by way of criticism or abuse, ofthe present administration. A list of "blind pigs," which were saddled upon the city by a Republican administration, was yes terday printed, with pretended exact ness as to locations. The "blind pigs." or unlicensed saloons, situated in the remote portions of the city will exist so long as the absurd patrol limits ordi nance is in force. Licenses are refused and. as in prohibition states, liquor is sold surreptiously. An examination of the list of "blind pigs" shows that it is the same j one that was printed by these same papers during the Pillsbury administration. The list should be preserved; it may come in handy at some future time. The report of the grand jury, in which the municipal authorities are censured in an exaggerated way for alleged looseness in the arrest and prosecution of criminals, has been printed and circulated throughout the rural districts by the astute Republican central committee. The idea, of course, is that citizens in other cities will receive the report as an accurate description of the manner in which the police department is conducted in Minneapolis. This precious document has not been circulated in Minneapolis, where the people understand with what allowance such ex parte statements should be received. The grand jury's lecture is always taken as a matter of course, and not much attention lis paid to it. The erand jury, at the spring \ term of court, ISS3. gave the Pillsbury ad ministration a terrific overhauling. Tbe ! truly good Deacon Nettlcton was foreman, | and the probable author of a report which I outranked in its sternness of condemnation j and scathing denunciation all previous or ! subsequent attacks of grand juries upon the municipal government. Compared with it this last report of the grand jury is but a mild and only half chiding rebuke, expressed as delicately as possible. The last grand jury, which handed in its report June 24, and was ; jailed "a dizzy old guy." "old fogy," etc., by the Tribune, rose iv Its wrath to de nounce the conduct of the Tribune as "rep rehensible, and as also directly tending to destroy the efficiency of the grand jury in I its endeavors to suppress crime and bring offenders to justice." The Tribune simply aid back its ears and laughed at this, and poo-poobed the report Grand jury reports j were not considered as being worthy of re spect then. Now times have changed and the true value of a grand jury report has been suddenly discovered it is to be used as campaign literature to call the attention of country voters from the re.i.l issues at stake. Xymattwrer'a !._»•» Campaign Speech Evert Nymanover spoke yesterday after noon to an assembly of Scandinavian work ingmen in Martin's hall, corner Washington and Cedar avenue*, on ••The Present Cam paign Situation."

The men employed in the Pittsburg A mill report that the head miller has given orders that they shall not speak to each other while on duty in the mill. While they object to this gag law as tit only for a penitentiary, they are submitting quietly, expecting that the rule will be suspended after election day. Political notes. A novel debate took place Sunday evening in which East side French voters are inter ested. It seems that the French Republicans had challenged the French Democrats to a debate at 127 Central avenue. The hail was filled at 8 o'clock, when the fun commenced. The Republicans had the fir say, aud for two hours G. B. Paradis harangued the au dience. He was followed by Edmund Pelle tor, who used up three-quarters of an hour. Dr. A. M. Brunelle was then called on, but he said it was too Icte to say anything. The Democrats, who had sat there patiently, were given no chance to answer, so yesterday another meeting was held at Germania hall when O. Tessier and E. J. L'Herault made rousing Democratic speeches. M. E. Clapp, the Republican candidate for attorney general, spoke the other night at Elbow Lake. He commenced his abuse of Dr. A. A. Ames and about half the audience walked out. He then commenced to abuse the men who had gone out, when those left arose at one man and left the hall, leaving Mr. Clapp alone in his shame. George M. Harbitzand John H. Lang spoke at Herman on Friday night to a large and en thusiastic meeting. This is the only Demo cratic rally ever held in Grant county. Tried to ISuy All the Globe*. The Republican managers planned a neat little scheme yesterday to prevent the gen eral knowledge of the grandeur of the Sat urday night Democratic demonstration from being spread over Minneapolis. Know inn the pageant would be belittled by the Republican papers, they organized an effort to buy up the newsboys' stocks of the Globe and prevent their general sale. A dozen of their agents watched the news boys, and bought their Globes as fast as they came out. The number, however, was too great for them, and the demand was unusual. To add to their discomfiture, when the regular Sunday edition was ex hausted a special edition of 10.000 arrived, whereupon the agents retired in disgust. The Globe went everywhere, and the peo ple of Minneapolis were well informed. Additional Minneapolis Sews on tbe fourth Page. IHI_I_VEArOI_IS GLOBULES. A. O.
