Gen. Bakers Manlxato Free Press, the lead
ing Republican paper of the Minnesota valley
published. a letter recently containing this trib
ute to Dunnell:
Six years-ago while Mr., Dunnelps connection
with the salary-grab measure was so notorious
in this community, after strenuous opposition
he was re-nominated, and in a public speech
accepting said nomination, emphatically de-
clared that he simply desired vindication,
and should positively decline to be a candidate
for Congress in the future. In spite
of said positive statement, Mr.. Dunnell has
since not only used all the machinery of his
office for denomination, bnt even in the pres
ent campaign has scattered his letters by the
hundred all over the district. informing in the
most emphatic manner, his postmasters and
collectors that their retention in Office depends
upon their jealous work in his behalf.
Dunnell and his friends were lately very zeal
ous opponents of a third term for Gen. Grant
but they see nothing improper in sixth
term for him. One more term for Dunnell,
was the postmasters' cry two years ago; one
more term for him is their cry, and will be for
an indefinite period in the future, notwith-
standing the mass of the Republicans desire a
change, as was sufficiently evident two years
ago, when Dunnell ran behind his ticket three
thousand votes.

The National Came

The ball play the past week closed in a blaze
of glory-for the Cleveland club, which had the
proud satisfaction of notonly defeating the Chi
Cages, but Of presenting them with nine success
sive goose eggs. As this was the fourth defeat
sustained by the Chicagos this season, Cleve
lands brilliant victory is something of which it
ture connected with the victory that
makes it all the more reason for satisfaction
to the club members. In the first part of the
week it had dropped two games to the Troys,
and incurred the displeasure of its home sup
porters, who charged the defeats to loose play
ing, one Of the papers voicing the discomfort
as follows: "If the players Of the Cleveland
nine want to empty the club treasury, and not
bring any revenue to it, let them play few
more games like the last two and they will
succeed" 1t is presumed that Cleveland is
satisfied with its club, and will continue 80
until its next defeat.
The contest for second place in the league
is getting interesting. Last weeks play
opened with the Providence club in the lead,
with the Olevelands second, but by Providence
losing the four games, three to Chicago and one
to Buffalo, and Cleveland winning two out of
it's four, the two clubs now stand even in
games won with one less game played. Wor-
cester by successive defeats has dropped below
B ,ston, with the much despised Troys but one
behind it for fifth place.
The game at Chicago Monday last between
the Chicago and Providence clubs was one of
the finest games ever played, and was witnessed
by the largest number of people ever assembled
on a ball field, estimated at 5000 in number.
The play was characterized by hard hitting.
sharp pitching and catching and almost
faultless fielding, the Chicagos winning
on the eleventh inning by a scratch.

an excuse to secure his release TO enable him

club. The matter has now been patched up,
the fine has been Withdrawn and Mac is play
ing again.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Dr Tanner, the fasting
man of Minnesota, continues to puzzle the
physicians by his persistancy in living without
partaking of food, setting at defiance the theo-
ries of all medical schools. He hasn't been de-
tected in receiving any nourishment and all
scientific tests to which the doctors have sub
jected him have failed to give color to any sus-
picions of fraud. He is wonderful man in
every respect, and the experiment to
which he has voluntarily subjected
himself now promises to
contribute valuable knowledge to the medical
profession. Since the regular physicians be-
gan to take an interest in the case, every move
ment of Dr. Tanner has been minutely record
ed, and pathological and physiological observa-
tions have been made by his watchers every
hour. At noon to-day
THIS REMARKABLE MAN
subsisted thirteen days without partaking Of
food, and eleven days without drinking more
than four ounces of water. As DR.. Guion said,
this feat has astonished the medical
fraternity most as much as the success
of the experiment would. During these thirteen
days of fasting DR.. Tanner has maintained
possession of his mental faculties and talks as
rational to-day as before the beginning of his
terrible battle against the laws of nature. In
spite of the Doctors protestations that he suf-
fers nothing now from the pangs of hunger, and
that his eyes are simply affected by sleepless-
ness, no observer can help feeling that the eyes
are an unerring index of
TERRIBLE MENTAL, If NOT PHYSICAL AGONY.
Doctor Tanner says the crisis in his long fast
has passed, and that success now depends op
the power Of his will to hold in check the con-
sumption of his body. He insists
that the craving of his stomach
is completely subjected, and that he has no
longer a desire to eat or drink. He claims that
he could have reached this condition earlier in
his struggle, but for the unfortunate distur.
bance caused by DR.. Bradley, which not only
excited him terribly, but forced him TO take
water for the first time, and thus virtually lost
to him much of the ground he had gained.

NEW York, July 1.-THE Republican ma
tionaI committee have occupied their head
quarters in this city. They say they have en-
couraging reports from Pennsylvania, New
York and Maine, and that from present indica-
tions it is more than probable that the Repub-
licans will carry Indiana in October. The dis
satisfaction of the Democrats nt the defeat of
Hendricks and at the nomination of English.
together with the strong feeling created by the
partisan action of the Democratic judge of the
State supreme court, it is alleged tends towards
this result.
The Vermont Republicans are working with
unusual energy. The State election occurs in
September. The committee say that the only
