APPALLING CALAMITY.
THE STATE INSANE ASYLUM
Partially Destroyed; Loss $150.O00
TWENTY LIVES LOST.
TWENTY LIVES LOST.

One of the most appalling calamities we
have been called upon to record is the
burning of portion, the north wing, of
the state hospital for the insane at St.
Peter, last Monday night, which was al
tended with q serious loss of life. The
latest and most reliable reports place tie
number of deaths at from ten to twenty,
out of two hundred and seventy patients
who were confined in the wards of the
burned section, fact which is remarka-
BILE, as many of the patients, through
fright, could with difficulty be moved, or
being unconscious of danger, did not en-
deavor to escape. The loss to the state is
upward of $780, with no insurance,
the legislature having refused to pass o bill
appropriafing money for this purpose.
At the :ime of the disaster over six hun
dred insane people were confined in the
asylum, and the scene at the hospital dur
ing the fire beggars description. The I'M
fortunate inmates were promptly removed
without an instants delay, many wander
ing half clad out on the prairies and into
the town. Everything is being dope for the
comfort of the patients, but much incon-
yenience will result, as 1t is difficult to pro-
care suitable quarters for their acconino-
dation.

the convention. Here again YOU are at
fault, for had you taken the trouble to as.
certain the particulars of that convention
you would have discovered that / held the
floor for half of an hour against the clam
or, and rowdyism Of MFR. Darling and his
friends, to get before 1t the reasons, which
induced the committee on credentials to.
reject those of that gentleman. There
was exhibited deliberate purpose to
choke off discussion, and total disregard
for the rights of delegates opposed to
them Nor were they at all particular as
to the course they pursued to further their
ends. SO much so, that although support.
ed the entire ticket, with one exception, l
nevertheless entertained very little respect
for the deliberations of that body.
But l have far weightier reasons for OPP
posing Mr.. Darling than those given above.
the recollection of grievous and unneces-
sary personal wrong perpetrated in such
way and under such circumstances as to
force me to the conclusion that he was al
together unfit to hold the Office of Judge of
probate. / could not conscientiously sup.
port him. did my utmost TO defeat him.
and have yet to learn of any law, human
ordivins, which would justify me in sup
porting one whom believe to be unfit for
the position.
With regard to your charge that my ac
ton was treacherous to the party, l have
only to say, that those who knew ME will
give me credit for doing all in my power
to secure the best men to put before the
people, and had my advice been taken we
would not haYe sustained the crushing and
humiiating defeat which has overtaken
US. Behind the voice of the caucus, be-
hind the voice of the convention, there is
still a greater voice, and one which will
surely make itself heard, and that is the
voice of the people. You may bulldose a
convention into nominatinga man who is
unfit for Office, but you cannot compel the
people to elect him. Respectfully yours,

DEAR SIR:-As your editorial III the

candidacy fer Judge of probate is calcu-
lated to mislead the public and do me
gross injustice, must ask favor of q
place in your columns for q simple expla.
nation.

to defeat any candidate, and q reference to
my announcement will convince you of
that fact. only stated that should form
no unworthy combination to attain that
object. ! utterly deny that / have shown
any enmity towards Mr.. Darling as you
allege, that gentleman will admit this,
and SO far from my action being unfair or
treacherous towards him, lie was well
aware months ago thGt should oppose
him. It is untrue that helped nominate
him; on the contrary did my utmost to
secure his defeat. That nomination was
certainly obtained in an unfair, TEACHER
Gus and disreputable way, and it cannot
truthfully be denied.
Having given the public your opinion as
to how unwise and short.sighted have
been, you 60 on to say, that If had any
