GOOD THUNDER.

A short time ago when Mr.. Severance
Of Mankato, spoke here, the Hall was
crowded with Republicans as we'll al
Democrats, but in sublime contrast j
the fact that when on Friday evening
the 22nd inst, the Republican speakers
Hon. j. NJ. Burlingamc and Maj. +. p,
Evans addressed the people on the
political issues of the day. The Demo
Gratis to II man, by their acts cried
"Away with them," we will not hear
them! and except few Democratic
members of the band), folded their
hands ands and stayed away. However
the meating was well attended by an
appreciative audience including Il large
number of ladies, and Mr.. Burlingame,
though perhaps not as fowcry an orator
rs Mr.. Severance yet gave us much
more plain, pithy, pointed and prac-
teal calculation of the questions at issue
and succeeded admirably in knocking
the "taify" out of the finely phrased,
plausible, sounding, but sophistical ar
guments Of the Democratic speakers,
and was roundly applauded. After Mr..
Burlingame had closed his briet address,
Mr.. Evans gave the ladies and young
voters a very comical effusion which he
called ILLUSION Speech" really indies.
cribably unique, which brought down
the house with roars OF laughter and
screams of applause the ladies voices
plainly to be heard joining in the merri-
ment. Taking everything in considera-
ton / regard Mr.. Burlingames speech
by far the ablest, soundest, most thor
oughly argumcnlative and forcible one
| have heard delivered in this village,
and it should not fail to convince any
voter who has his country's welfare at
heart. The principles of the Republic
can party arc the only safe principles to
support. OCCASIONAL.

A Word tn Voters.

Next Tuesday Is election, and ut
the close of that day one Of the most
important, the most sacred duty Of
the people of free government will
have been accomplished, viz: their
choice OF president to rule tho af-
fairs Of our country for the next four
years. 1t is therefore important
that each and every voter should, be.
fore casting his vote, weigh carefully
and considerably the principles of
the two great parties that are asking
your suffrages. Look into the history
of each and analyze what measures
they have produced that are benef-
cial to the various industries of the
country. We all know that our
whole country is prosperous; its
finances were never better: our
national debt Is being constantly di.
minished; our bonds are selling ut a
high premium and labor Is all EN-.
ployed. What produces these. among
many other beneficial measures. Are
they not practically, II not wholly
due to the strict fulfillment Of the
promises made by the party in pow.
or ? Is it not the positive assurance
among the nations abroad, rs we'll rs
our great capitalists and manufact.
urers ut home, that the Republican
party will redeem every promise they
have made, that gives them this
confidence!

A Calamity.

There could be no greater calamity
befall the republican party In this con.
gressional district than the triumph
Of the Ward faction. 1t would be
the sanction by majority Of the
party of conducting canvass in a
manner disreputable to any party.
SANDERS and personal abuse seem to
constitute the whole stock In trade of
the Ward speakers, and it will take the
republican party in this district, and
especially in this county, years to re-
cover the ground lost in this canvass.
1t will tend largely toward defeating
Qf such thing be possible), every
Republican nominee for representa-
tive and county office nominee in
Blue Earth county. II is the most
egregious folly to suppose that the
bitterness with which this canvas
has been conducted will not extend
beyond the congressional struggle,
and the friends of Dunnell must be a
little better than the voter IL they
will vote for men who have vilified
and abused the man they believe is
the best fitted by experience to rep
resent them in congress.

The Modern Democratic God.


In the days of Thomas Jefferson,
when there was u real Democratic
party in the United States, the dis.
ciples of that great statesman would
have been Inundated and ashamed
had they sought to nominate as their
candidates men merely Of wealth.
On the contrary they placed forward.
as leaders. men light in this world 8
goods. but men intelligent, educated
and true, belonging to TO the people
and not to the mOneyed aristocracy.
But we sec everywhere Il tendency
among modern Democrats to nomin.
ate men merely because they possess
money. 1t is now notorious that
English, Of Indiana, was nominated
for the Vice Presidency because it
was understood that he would con.
tribute 100000 to tho Democratic
campaign fund.
Garfield and Arthur were nomina.
ted, even though they were poor men
because they are true and honorable
representative of the Republican
party Of the United States. We call
the attention of the working class OF
our country TO this fact. The Demo,
Gratis iterate that the Republicans are
constantly fighting for capital and
moneyand yet this great national party
nominated two comparatively poor
men To the highest Offices within their
gift, while the sc.called Democratic
party did choose for one of its can,
didates the man who had the most
money, and therefore able to contrib.
ute the largest amount to their cleo.
ton fund. Mr.. Tilden was upon the
same principle nominated in 1870 for
the presidency, and, now, in 1880,
this same party nominated the rich
English. Of Indiana, because of q
like money-worshipping tendency

The County Ticket,

sight of the county ticket. The Re.
publican nominees are unexception.
able. The general fitness for their
positions Is acknowledged upon all
sides. Their Republicanism Is I'M
questioned, and if those who vote
unbiased and untrammeled will do
their duty the whole ticket will be
elected. The democrats don't have
any idea of electing their whole
ticket but are concentrating their
forces upon two or three of the Re.
publican nominees. Every known
sophistry and chicanery is being
adopted to defeat a portion Of the
Republican ticket, but If the friends
Of the ticket will stand determindly
by it they can carry it through.

EAGLE LAKE.

ED. FREE PREss We received a
rousing speech last night at our Gar
field Club, from Hon. j. NJ. Burling-
game, which petered out the remaining
vestage of the Ward click of this place,
He urged upon the Republicans to unite
on the man we could elect as Representa-
tive and that was NJ. III. Dunnell. After
the speech OF Mr.. Burlingamc, Mr.. Evans
Of Garden City, was called, and who
came forward and said, 20 years ago the
Republican party was born and he was
charter member, he repeated some of the
pledges the party made, and stated that
the party had manfully kept those
pledges. In 1860 the Republican party
had its first child and it was a Legitimate
one and they called him Abraham Lin
coin. He contrasted the currency of
1876 which was Democratic, with the
currency Of 1880 which was Rcpubli-
can. Many and various was the con
trasts he drew between Republican and
Democratic reign which caused mirtll
and applause. A SUBCRIBER.

Evcrybody's Fight.

The Congressional contest in the
First district is not Mr.. Dunnell's
fight alone. Every Republican in the
State is interested In his success.
The personal advancement of Mr..
Dunnell is the very smallest con.
sideration in the minds Of the earnest
Republicans, in and out of the dis
trict, who desire that he shall he
elected instead of Ward or Wells.
The efforts of his personal adherents,
il not the smallest influence ut work
to secure his election, or certainly
wholly inadequate to secure 1t with
out the aid of the main body of Re.
publicans, who are no mans person.
III adherents. He Is entitled to this
aid Us the practical representative OF
the Republican party in the district;
asa candidate whose RPublicanism
has never been questioned; whose
personal fitness is beyond question,
and whose public experience entities
him to support; who is free from the
suspicion of past apostacy or present
or contemplated Il eachery; and, above
all, who has u chance of election,
which his alleged Republican oppon'
ent has not. For these reasons, it is
the duty of the body of disinterested
Republicans in his district to support
him with heartiness and unreserve.
There are larger reasons which
should induce Republicans outside OF
the First district to actively interest
themselves in the success of Mr..
Dnnnell. The loss or gain of a
single Congressional district may be
of vital Importance to the whole Re.
publican party before the fourth OF
next March. Whoever is elected
president the next congress is going
70 be close. A single vote may
decide it, one way or the other. The
loss OF one member in Minnesota
may make the house Of Representa-.
tives of the Forty.seventh congress
Democrat instead of Republican, and
expose Gen. GARFIELD, rs president. to
the obstruction of a congress hostile
In both hranohaa. inst toad nf afford
ing him the support of Republican
house of representatives Every Re.
publican, who desires to see the prin-
ciples Of his party realized in the
administration of the national govern
ment during the next four years, is
interested in the success of Dunnell.
The official members of the party
have a closer interest in the matter.
Every other Republican member Of
Congress In the State, who desires
TO find himself working with major.
ity instead of minority in the next
congress, hasa direct, personal, selfish
interest In Dunnell's triumph. Every
Minnesota senator has personal in
terest in the election of a Republican
member Of congress. Dunnell's
election is closely connected with the
question Of the constitution of the
next legislature. Mr.. Dunnel's OPP
ponents are apparently taking course
which makes this connection a good
deal closer and more interesting than
it was supposed it would be. The
most important political contest in
Minnesota is going on in the First
district. That is the battle field Of
the Minnesota campaign.
