Republican Managers Para lyzed, and the Party Fall ing- to Pieces. HH__S_S!_____§ffl_BßH3_»™l-_S_-B_3 BIERMANN'S GREAT VICTORY. Republican Papers Discour aged, and Ready to Desert Their Fallen Chief. SKAFFAREN STILL IN LINE. Pioneer Press Has Another Kind of a "Defense" to Make for Itself. No siusle occurrence in tha history of Minnesota lias affected the political sit uation so seriously or resulted in such wide-spread ana intense feeling as the episode of the Great Northern land erant and its final filling by the eov ernor upon the compulsion of the auditor. The signing of the deed came as a surprise to everybody, for it was understood on the part of the Repub lican managers that Attorney Gen eral Cliilils would withhold his opinion until after the election, thus relieving the governor of the re sponsibility of action. The pressure upon the attorney general, however, was greater than he could bear, and when the governor returned from his last electioneering cruise he found the ouinion on his desk. The story of its execution has already been told, and it need only be added that as soon as the governor had signed the deed he im mediately left the city, and avoided all interviews. Among politicians of all parties the opinion is unanimous that the govern or's humiliating lack-down from his original position places him in fully as bad a plight as his refusal to sign the deed would have done. Discussing the matter last night, a prominent Repub- Enn politician said: Goes Back on Hill. 'Gov. 'Nelson has done an ungrateful and ungraceful thing. 1 thought he had more nerve than to be forced into such a course. J. J. Hill lias been his most useful friend, has stood by him in poli tics ana business, and if any man had a claim on Nelson, it was Hill. For the governor to .go back on Hill at this time was worse even thau to have lost a few votes by refusing to sign the deed. By doing this he simply admits that he wanted to favor Hill, and dared not do it: and at the same time he lowers his arms to Biermann in a most abject and humiliating manner. He will be blamed just as much for favoring the Great Northern as though lie had held out, while he will gr.in no credit from the people by signing the deed, since he did it under compulsion. On the whole, it is a wretched, abominable piece of business." This seems to be the view generally taken of it. and while Auditor Bier matiu is being congratulated and com mended on all hands the governor has lost ground at a costly rate. The state central committee has been compelled to take to the woods and adopt entire' change of its-plan of campaign. It had confidently counted on the silence of tha attorney general, aud, failing of that, on the Obstinacy of flic Governor to prevent meeting the issue of the Great Northern deed, and now tne work which has been dime must all be undone and an entirely new line of defense set up. When Auditor Biermann instructed tha governor to sign the deed of convey ance to the Great Northern the governor and his managers laughed very heartily at what they were pleased to term the brazen assumption of an in ferior officer of the state issuing orders to a superior; but they have learned a very costly and disagreeable lesson, which is that the stato auditor, under certain conditions, is a bigger man than the governor. Frantic appeals are be ing made to publicans to stand in line for the head of the ticket, come what may, while from every point of tin* compass come the reports of party defections and bolts iv solid phalanx. One of the organs has had a special can vasser out for several weeks looking up the situation, and wired him yesterday to come in. He did so. and. " before writing the state ment which is to appear, showing conclusively that Nelson has a cinch, he admitted to a friend that Owen would cut Into the Kepublican vote from 10 to 80 per cent in every county he had visited. In the general scramble to save Nelson nearly all other candidates are left to shuffle for themselves, Bob Dunn being the only exception. The managers fully realize that Knnte with out Bob would be the equivalent of a Whisky sour without the '-sour," and they are making A Grand Hustle for the man with the hectic flush. It is estimated by those who are near the committee ihat of every $1,000 spent fully $800 are blown in the express in terests of Knute and Bob. These two Dromlos liave been starring together a good deal during the season, the gov ernor explaining to the farmers the best methods to be employed in raising and curing pork, while Bob is used as a kind of object lesson. To add to the confusion aud dismay ol the committee Xorden, one of the Chicago papers which the committee has been using in this state to leach the young Scandinavian idea how to vote, has given Knute the cold shake and come out in support of Owen. But Skafraren is still in live. The Republican papers which have been greedily devouring the bait thrown out by crafty politicians and which rushed to the defense of Gov. Kelson when his duty was pointed out to him are now having a real nice lime. Constant relays of small boys are en gaged in kicking the editors at a fair rate of compensation, and the commit tee was fcusy all day yesterday prepar ing editorial matter in an entirely dif ttavii ?*d« from that which has been \\\l / / / -• "xN^^FArPx^ Im.sTomcA ** *g~*J£^-f£AAjl^^^*^~/&^j£^f*ir' PROOF AGAINST MUDSLINGS ■ Ss__-i' l i'^t!i-- swa |\^^jm -< -£« .^rV^i f-ssi fill* l^yfeiTp jSiwii^ii iifJPlll®«^ Jr Judge "Willis withstands the assaults of his enemies. used for the past week. Of all the Re publican papers the Dispatch was the only one which had the sagacity to see where the governor was taking them, and it wisely forbore to comment on the situation. The Pioneer Press, as usual, made A Spectacle of Itself, and placed the governor in a worse position than ever, if such a thing wire possible. The Minneapolis papers, with the exception of the Penny Press, j "helped the governor out" after the design of the Pioneer Press, and they haven't got their breath since the gov ernor signed the deed. The state central committee has called in all the plate matter ordered on the theory that the governor would not sign : the deed, and is working a night shift preparing matter for distribution which will prove conclusively that Gov. Nelson was the first to suggest the selections '< of the Great Northern grant by the auditor, and that be submitted the mat ter to the attorney general merely as a matter of form. The campaign wind jammers have been instructed to holler for Dunn aud Nelson, and work the pine land ring fake for all there Is in it. That and the calamity howl are all there is left for them. All engagements of Gov. Nelson have. been canceled for the latter part of tne week, and he will be billed for four speeches in Minneapolis and two or three in St. Paul. The light made by the governor nnd understudy, Bob Dunn, on the state university is having a tremendous and deadly effect in the city up the creek, and neither of them will poll 60 per cent of the Republican vote of that burg. Gov. Nelson's con-** i nections with the Hauihoy- Connty Fee Bill and Bob Dunn's open hostility to St. Paul in the last legislatur« will render the passage of this precious pair over Ramsey couuty soil an extremely rocky one, and Dar Reese has been instructed to file his voice for the last few day 3of the campaign in St. Paul. Throughout the entire state the Republicans are j "falling into line for Nelson"— each man with a knife. All the Scandinavian papers of Min neapolis and the entire state— Skaffaren alone excepted— are doing yeoman : service iv wiping out the last vestige of the Republican ring rule which has made it possible for a railroad company to secure a title to over 200,000 acres of the best lands of the state, in the face of the statute to the contrary, and the result is in little doubt. "Zeke" Ken dall, of Duluth, yesterday made an even bet of {150 that Owen would receive more votes than Nelson, and a gentle man in the Ryan hotel Monday night made a $1,500 cash proposition to the same effect. Within forty-eight hours odds of 2 to 1 can easily be had that Nel son is defeated. : :'■ -;~ MORE FUN FOR JOE. Auditor Biermann Serves Prelim inary Papers for a Libel Suit Against the Pioneer Press. Among the other pleasant things over which the Pioneer Press is cogitating as a net result of its wonderfully con structed defense is the prospect of a robust libel suit. In its editorial com ment upon the governor's Humiliating defeat at the hands of Auditor Bier maun, the thirteen-story organ yester day flagellated the auditor in such a vindictive and personal manner that Mr. Biermann at once served on the company a formal notice and demand for a retraction of certain false and libelous statements and insinuations. The charges are so gtossly and palpably false aud malicious that, the auditor felt that he could not allow the matter to pass unchallenged. Ho accordingly served upon Mr. Driscoll, for the com pany, the following notice, the Dapers being served about 4 o'clock in the afternoon: St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 30, 1804.— T0 the Pioneer Press Company (a corpora tion), of St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minn.— Gentlemen: You will please take notice that in the issue of the Dally Pioneer Press, a daily newspaper print ed and publibhod by you at the city of St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey, in the state of Minnesota, of Tuesday morning, tne 30th day of October, 1894, there was printed and published and extensively and generally circulated throughout said county and state, on the fourth page of said newspaper, the Daily Pioneer Press, of and concerning the undersigned, Adolph Biermann. the following editorial and printed matter, constituting and being a part of said issue of said newspaper, in the words and figures following, to wit: [The libelous article is here made a part of (lie demand for a relracti6n.] - You will further ; take notice that said Adolph Bierman n Is now, and ever since th? month of "Jan nary, 1891, continuously has been the state auditor and dJt-offieio 66m missioiier of the land office or the state of Miunesota; and that said Biermann, for more than one months continuously PAINT PAUL, MINN., WEDNESDAY MORNING^ OCTOBER 31, 1894.

You will further take notice that the said Adolph Biermann claims and al leges that the following portions of the aforesaid editorial and printed matter are each and all of them false and de famatory, to wit: "ln view of the fact that the state auditor, in his administration of his office, had, on several occasions, shown himself strangely regardless of the law and of the interests of the state, it wad especially incumbent on the governor to guard the state against the possibility of further mistakes or irregularities ou | the part of that official." !

Very respectfully. Adolpii Bieemann. ROGERS IS HOSTILE. Managers of the Nelson-Chapel Campaign Uniting Him. Ed Rogers, the Republican candidate for clerk of the court, is not in as ami able a frame of mind as he would be if he had the certificate of election in ills i pocket. It has been apparent for sev eral days that the combination of polit ical talent having charge of the joint campaign of Gov. Nelson and Sheriff Chapel, the originators and guardian angels of the Ramsey county fee bill, was making a flank movement on the Rogers forces and piling up quite a number of votes at the expense of the "imperial" Ed. This came to the ears i of the Rogers managers, and, after de ploying a number ot scouts to ascertain the truth of the rumor.a move was made "accoidiuV The Nelson and Chapel men were promptly notified that it • they didn't call off their scalpers there would be a shindy j that would result in some blighted hopes. The Chapel end of the combi nation immediately set to work to prove an alibi, and, with the experience of expert witnesses, at immediate com mand, they made a fairly good defense; but the Nelson subdivision were so busy preparing "copy" for the Pioneer Press that they didn't have time to make out a case, and the result is that Ed aud his friends are preparing for a grand right and-left promenade all around the col lar of his unfortunate Knutelets which will just about take up what little there is iett of the Nelson movement lv this couuty, ' BAYARD THE ORATOR. Georgetown, D. C, Democrats Hold a Monster Mass Meetiug. Georgetown, D. C, Oct.3o.—Ambas sador Thomas F. Bayard made his third political speech since his return from Europe at a Democratic mass meeting held in the court house here tonight upon national issues. Mr. Bayard's speech was largely uoon the lines laid down in his address iv Wilmington last : week. He dwelt forcibly upon the use of money in elections, holding that men elected by corruption ot suffrage could not enjoy the confidence of the public; that a purchased legislature would result in purchased legis lation, and the result could not help to be an undermining of public coufideuce, and a succession of evils that would prove fatal to the interests of the people. The balance of the ad dress was devoted to state issues and to an earnest indorsement of the Democratic congressional, state and county nominees. There was au out-door Democratic meeting during the afternoon with an address by ex- Congressman Mauiur, of Missouri. This meeting was preceded by a parade over a mile in length. Over 5,000 people were present during the day, and the demon stration was the greatest of a political character ever seen in Sussex county. Campbell Answers Mok in loy. - Indianapolis, md., Oct. 30. _ Ex- Oov. James E. Campbell, of Ohio, spoke to .4,000 people in this city tonight. His speech was an answer to Gov. MeKiniey, who spoke here a few weeks ago. *. He confined himself entirely to the discussion of the tariff. He laid to McKiuleyism all the blame for the recent financial depression and hard times, and said that the Wilson bill was the cause of the revival in busi ness. He left here tonight for Peoria, 111., where he speaks tomorrow. Cash in Treasury. Washington, Oct. 30.— The cash bal ance in the treasury today iras $118, --309,193; gold reserve, 501,152,184. HILL STEADILY GAINS.! * T '*\'l His Vigorous Fight Is Gain- I ing Him Many Support- pi ers in New York. THE GRACE INDORSEMENT Received With Incredulity by a Few of the Most Rabid ] Wheelerites. CRISP ENTERS THE RING.! Hill Makes a Vigorous Tariff Speech at Amster- T s} dam. New York, Oct. 30.— declara tion of William R. Grace today ' that, the State Democratic organization is supporting David Hill, and is. not responsible for any Wheeler posters, is received with incredulity by many who 7 still insist that that faction is in favor! of Hill's defeat aud rolling up as large a vote as possible for Wheeler. The adherents today expressed much gratification at the number and character of the Cooper Union meeting last night, and are confident that tne Democratic reform ticket will make a good showing on election day. Many anti-Hill Democrats, it is generally be lieved, will vote straight for Morton, taking the ground, as one of them remarked today, that a vote for Wheeler will be only half a vote against Hill and that the Wheeler votes • are intended to help Morton anyway. The Hill men are as confident as ever, referring with especial satisfaction to the personal fight their candidate is making and to the enthusiasm with" which he is being received by his sup porters. Most of them, however, do not seek to conceal . their disappointment or anger that his candidacy has not received open and active encouragement . front' the national administration. The Re publicans abate none of their claims, and insist that, with the general Re publican tendency this year aud the. Democratic defection from Hill, . the latter will be snowed under. There has been but little betting so far in the campaign, but the reports of. wagers at the stock exchange and elsewhere show odds on Morton, not infrequently: at 2to 1. Smaller odds are given en ', Strong against Grant, the perfection of the Tammany organization throughout , the city making the supporters .of the Committee of Seventy rather cautious about risking their money, how ever much they anticipate a great - anti-Tammany . uprising. The Hill Democrats were pleased tonight by the announcement that Speaker Crisp, of the house of representatives, had can celed engagements in order to speak in this city or Brooklyn. They were also much pleased by a letter for Hill from Chauncey F. Black, . chairman '. of the National League of Democratic Clubs. The fact that Col. Strong made _ brief speeches at a number- of meetings this evening in the down town East side districts Is regarded with much favor by the piactical politicians, who are allied with the Committee of Seventy, as they think it will have a good effect on a class of voters who wish to see their candidate and know some thing of his personality. Senator Mur phy passed much of the day at the : Democratic state headquarters in coin ference with Chairman Hinckley and others. Richard Croker was another visitor. HILL TALKS TARIFF. No True Business Prosperity Under Protection. Amsterdam, Oct. 30.— Senator Hill spoke before an immense number of people in this city tonight. Enthusiasm was remarkable for this place and his remarks were received with vociferous applause. He spoke about on the lines he has taken since he began his cam paign, but Da id especial attention to the tariff. He said in part: "This city is largely dependent upon Its industries aud its prosperity. Your true interest lies not in the temporary or fictitious prosperity, but iv perma nent and especial prosperity; you de sire conditions which are natural rather than those which are forced; your workingmeu prefer steady work and reasonable wages rather than high wages followed by periods of business depression and no wages at all. : Do not be deceived by those who ostentatiously profess to be your friends, but are vir tually wolves in sheep's clothing. A high protective tariff is not for your interest, because it is not for the inter est of the whole country. A reasona ble, fair aud moderate . tariff, one im posed for revenue and not lor prohibi tion, one which will not stimulate over production, is what will subserve the best interests of everybody. Much . de pends on business conditions, on the laws of trade and on the questions of supply and demand. The whole ques tion of wages is this: When six men are looking for work from one boss wages are low, but when six bosses are looking for one workman, wages are high, and the situation largely comprehends and explains the labor problem. You must recollect the commercial panic of 1573, when wages disappeared, indus tries suspended and fortunes were sunk, and yet all the while the country was enjoying the alleged blessings of an exorbitant tariff auder a Re publican administration. The . great Carnegie labor strike at Pittsburg oc curred in the very heart of Republican Pennsylvania and the industry which was the most largely protected. In the summer of 1892, while Mr. Harrison was president, the great C. B. «fe Q. strike occurred under a high protective tariff, and yet the high wages which workingmen demanded were not forth coming. Good wages do not follow the!; workiugnian simply because there are* high tariffs imposed. - "iM "The present Democratic tariff law' will produce the needed resources for* the support of the government; it will not necessitate .. the issue of;* aim further government bonds with L which to supply the needs of "the treasury-/ it wijl not destroy ' any industry;, it. will not require the reduction', ot the wages of a single working-**. man, because its provisions are so mod erate, reasonable and fair: its siugle direct purpose is revenue, and the col ; lection of such revenue. BLOW FOR PETTiGREW Bishop Marty, of South Da kota, Writes Favoring the Senator, . LONG WRITES GEN. BAKER. The Populist Will Not Leave the Field to the Dem ocrat. END OF THE BORST CASE. Quite a Snow Storm in Min nesota and South Dakota Yesterday. Special to the Globe. Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 86.— A great sensation was produced here today by the publication that Bishop Marty, of the Catholic church, was doing all in his power to assist in the re-election of Senator Pettigrew. He sent out the following letter, at the head of which was written the Republican legislative ticket: • Please use your influence for the election of the above candidates, to the end that Pettigrew may be sent back to the senate. M. Marty. In an interview Bishop Marty ac knowledged sending tho letter, and that he did so because he thought that Pettigrew deserved it. BAKfcIR AND LONG. The Latter Indites a Letter to the General. The controversy between Gen. J. H. Baker and L. C. Long resulted yester day in an open letter from the latter, in which he scores the venerable gen eral. Mr. Long says: Gen. J. H. Baker— My Dear Sir: My attention has been called to yoiir open letter to me in the Daily Review. In re ply will say: I consider your proposi tion an insult, not only to me, but to every true Populist in the district. The egotism displayed in your letter would be laughable if it were not so sad to note how the mighty have fallen. You say you are fighting McKinleyism, and were lirst to advocate Populism In thi district, lv this you claim too much. Long years ago, when you were hold ing a fat office under a Republican ad ministration, preaching McKinleyism and abusing the Democrats on a good salary, I was advocating the one 'great fundamental principle of the Populist party, viz: The abolition of national bank curiency and the substitution of United States legal tender greenbacks. My dear general, let me call your at tention to a few facts in regard to our past political relations. . Nearly thirty years ago, in the city of St. Louis, you nearly caused my death by compelling me, one bleak, cold night, to tramp my beat in front of your headquarters at a leading hotel, and threatened to send me to the guard house when 1 stepped in the hall a moment to ; keep irom freezing. Four years ago, when you were nominated by the Alliance (and at your own request.] as we can prove), re ceived .the indorsement of the Demo cratic machine, I, believing you to be true to the principles which "l had so long cherished, forgot my resentment towards you, and did all within my power for your election. During that campaign you made a speech in Adrian, in which you said: "I made you a speech here two years ago In favor of the MeKiniey bill. 1 was paid for that speech. Now lam going to tell you what 1 actually be lieve in regard to the tariff." You then proceeded to show up the fallacies of jour former speech, and, although you stood there a confessed hireling of plut ocracy, I, to my shame aud disgrace be it said, stood by you. Two years ago, when, against my wishes and protestations, 1 was 1101111 --nated, you could have laid the founda tion for future fame and power for your self by supporting me (fur 1 would have been defeated, and in '94 you would have received the nomination and elec tion). But instead, yoa denounced the convention, and though the daily papers informed the people that my 'nomina tion was a calamity, and that the Dem ocrats were highly indignant, you were then nominated by a few men in St. Paul for governor, which nomination you threw up and ran for the legisla ture on the Democratic ticket. Aud now you ask me to turn over the patriotic vote of the People's party to your plutocratic, mugwumpian machine. No, sir. The universal opinion among Populists is that you are running in the interest of McCleary; that your ex penses are paid by the Republicans.and your open letter is the last card in the game. The impudence of your request equals the cowardice of Mr. McCleary in "refusing to meet me 111 public dis cussion, as per agreement signed by the chairman of the Republican and Peo ple's party committees. ' General, thirty years ago you rode at the head of the procession, while I trudged in the rear guard. Conditions have changed. Now the "little school ' master" and the "old farmer" are neck and neck in the lead, while the "gen eral" is not even in the rear guard, but a mere straggler In the rear of the mighty forces which are struggling for supremacy. No, general. I cannot entertain your proposals. 1 want my monument to be in the memory of my countrymen, that 1 never strayed near the dismal swamp of political corruption and pollution where plutocracy hatches and breeds traders, tricksters, fusionists and schemers; where chicanery and devil try are born and liberty slaughtered; where, plutocratic tyrants train hire lings to block the wheels of progress on the great highway of political destiny.

Last spring* Mr. Borst, who is a promi nent attorney of Fulda, was accused of sending an obscene letter, through the mails to Mrs. John Hyslop, of the same town.

Special to the Globe. Hastings, Oct. 30. — Congressman Hall Is still confined to his bed at the Gardner bouse, and all hopes of bis be ing able to fill his engagements this week havo about been abandoned. Mrs. Hall, who has been constantly with him since Monday, expects that it will be possible to remove Mr. Hall Friday to his home at Red Wing. The injury to his hip is the most serious, aud seems to nave affected tbe nerves, and up to the present he has been unable to stand up.much less walk. The other scratches and bruises, while painful, now give Mr. Hall little trouble. During this week Mr. Hall intended to make I three speeches a day, or eighteen in ail, and the fact that this accident will probably prevent any of them is a cause of anxiety to him. Although slight In frame, as his friends and ad-. miters all know, Mr. Hall is "game," and today expressed a determination to fill his dates for Friday and Saturday; but his physician as much as announced that it will not be possible. •-. Hon. R. C. Libby's injuries are rather more serious than those of Mr. Hall. Being much heavier, the fall left hiiu with more bruises and an injury to his back which it will require time to over- j come. The people of Hastings show . ' their sympathy and regard for both gentlemen by the frequent calls they have made at the hotel to see Mr. Hall, and at Mr. Libby's residence. On Suit day afternoon the crowd „ was so large the physician refused to' allow but the first few callers to see his patients. To day, although both Mr. Libby and Mr. Hall are still unable to leave their beds, they have been ' able to see and chat with all who called. LE SUEUR AROUSED. Young Democrats of That Town Are for Hall. Special to the Globe. - Le Sueur, Minn., Oct. 30. — The Young Men's Democratic Club of Le Sueur was organized this evening with a membership of 100, with John Me ' Kasy as president. The utmost har mony and enthusiasm prevailed, the members not only pledging themselves to support the straight Democratic ticket, but to vote for and use their ut- i most efforts to secure the election' of ! Hon. O. M. Hall to congress. The boys j mean business, and all good Democrats | are falling into line. What little feel- j Ing existed here against Mr. Hall was | purely personal, and will soon' melt j away before the sterling Democratic spirit which actuates the young Dem ocracy of Le Sueur. . , FIRST OF THE SEASON. * Snow Strikes Portions of Minne sota and the Dakotas.

St. Cloud, Minn., Oct. 30.— Judge Searle, of the district court, has just passed upon a most peculiar case. It is not probable that like proceedings were ever instituted before. It Is in the case of the State of Minnesota vs. Murdosk Campbell, in which J. A. Ross, county attorney of Mille Lacs county, asks lor .an order to show cause ' why an execu tion should not . be' issued "against the defeudant on his original sentence, and why he should not be imprisoned in the state's prison during the remainder of his natural life. ... "One of the reasons stated for grant ing the original pardon was the ad vanced age of the prisoner," says Judge Searle in his decision, and 1 know of my own knowledge that the prisoner is I a very aged man, and that his term of life cannot be extended much longer. I 1 feel that if I must go to an extreme ln PRICE. TWO CENTS— -{,_s£&&! }— NO. 304. either direction, I would rather exer cise my discretion upon the side of clemeqcy. "Should the offense be repeated and the matter brought before me again 1 would not consider tins decision final, but I desire if possible to let the old man die at home among his friends in stead of submitting him and his friends to the ignominy and dishonor that would attach should the application be granted." Nelson Is a Tool. Special to the Globe. St. Vincent, Oct. 30.— In corrobora tion of the theory that Gov. Nelson has been the aoject tool of J. J. Hill, the appointment of drainage commissioner for this, Kittson county, is cited. The chairman of the board of county com missioners is empowered under the law to appoint one drainage commissioner from his county. James Ford, chair man of the county board, was not noti fied of this fact in time to notify the governor of his appointment, and' the governor promptly apuointed Mr. Dou aldson, Mr. Hill's foreman. The ap pointment is the occasion of great dis satisfaction here, as it gives'the Great ■Northern undue advantage.., . ...-._- PP : Owen. in Todd County.
