There appeared to be too many
delegates at large from the country
to agree upon and elect by acclama,
ton, and therefore they were elected
by ballot. the city delegates taking
no part. The result was the election
of Col. i. F. Smith, of Rapidan. and
Andrew Tweed, Of Lake Crystal,
and these selections were made I'M
animous by the convention.
A motion to allow the delegates pres
ent to cast the full vote of their respec.
tive townships, was carried.
The following resolution was intro.
duced by +. p. Freeman, Esq, and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That recognizing the eminent quail
iications OF Hon. J. B. Wakefield, u resident
Of a sister county, we recommend that oui
delegates To the coming Congressional Con
ventiOn support him rs u candidate for Con
gressional honors.
No further business appearing, the

AT a preliminary meeting of Re-
publican delegates in Firemen's Hall,
Wednesday morning, to agree upon
fair and impartial representation
of the county in the Congressional
Convention, Gen. Baker explained his
position clearly and candidly. He
stated that newspaper reports to the
contrary, he was not candidate for
Congressional honors, neither had
he ever intimated by word or deed
that he would be. He appreciated
the honors shown him by his friends
and fellow citizens in electing him to
the position of Railroad Commits
sioner, and he had found there a
field of usefulness that would receive
his undivided attention and earnest
consideration. THE FREE PRESS has
all along taken the position that Mr..
Baker was not a candidate for Con.
gress from this District, and despite
the efforts of the Rerie,o and q few
other Democratic organs TO make it
appear we were insincere in the mat.

"choke" the General down, we pur-

Mr.. Sampson, of Iowa, thought it
more plausible to 20 to the fairs in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and
other States, take along quantity of
our flour, make bread, spread with some
of our unexcelled creamery butter, and
break to the hungry. His idea was
that this would demonstrate the "proof
of the pudding" for whom you touch a
mans stomach you reach him where he
is especially susceptible to conviction.
In this connection would also distribute
circulars, &C., setting forth where this
bread stuff was grown and tutter made.
Mr.. Slayton had an individual idea
on this advertising business, that, like
those who preceded him. was good.
He believed that If you wanted to show
a man what you bad to sell, the best
way was to do so practically and not
wholly theoretically. Would run land.
excursions to Southwestern Minnesota,
make rates low and inducements large.
A few such excursions would bring
thousands here to be eye witnesses Of
our climate and soil, and they in turn
would, if they made no direct purchases,
speak encouragingly of the locality, and
their influence would have effect in in
ducing Others to come.
Miscellaneous subjects were more or
less discussed that are of no general
interest to the reader, and the conven-
ton adjourned. The next meeting will
be held in November at such place as
may be decided upon by the executive
committee.

In u few weeks the caucuses To elect dele
yates 10 the county convention which In turn
names the delegates who vote for congress-
man will be held, and we confess to little
curiosity 10 know Just how far the Republic
an grangers and members Of the alliance will
assume TO disregard the edlct Of The FREE
Press. -Rscie,O, My 3mh.
If the Recie,r's curiosity" is salts.
fed, we are well pleased. Since the
mention of Mr.. Wake6eld's name in
connection with Congressional mat
tiers, that papers main efforts have
been directed against the sending of
Republican delegation to the Dis.
trict Convention favorable to his
nomination. AS we have remarked,
in previous issues, the Reuicp is out of
Republican politics knows nothing
of the wishes or intentions of the
Republican farmers, and exposes the
downright ignorance of its editor
every time it assumes to dictate the
course of action they should pursue.
In the Convention held on Wednes.
day, the farming community was al
lowed ten of the fourteen delegates
to represent Blue Earth county in the
District Convention to be held in
Mankato on Wednesday next, and if
we are not mistaken eoery man is an
outspoken and ardent supporter of Elk.
Gov. Wakefield. THE FREE PRESS,
while it lays no claims to credit, is
highly gratified to know that its I'm.
daunted and straightforward, honest
and conscientious support of Mr..
Wakefield, has been heartily sane
toned by a body Of as intelligent
gentlemen as ever composed Con.
yention in Blue Earth county. The
Convention next week will ratify the
action of our county convention, and
at the election this fall the Republic
ans of the Second District will con
firm the whole by rolling up one Of
the largest majorities ever given

borders of the State.

EX-GOV. WAKEFIELD FOR
CONGRESS.

The Republican Congressional Con.
vention will meet in MankatO on
Wednesday next. the 2lst inst, to
nominate a representative for Con-
gress.
So far as we have been able to as.
certain, there is 10 probability of
any name coming before the Conven-
ton other than Ex.Gov. Wakefield,
whose candidacy has caused una
nimity Of feeling and a concerted nc.
ton throughout the District that is
as pleasant to contemplate as il is rare
to witness.
In District so popularity Republi.
can rs is the new Second. it is very
rare indeed that from four to ten
candidates do not spring up for tho
position. and urge their respective
claims forward to degree that al.
most invariably brings disc0rd and
Observation-Disclosures disrup.
ton and disaster-in the final issue.
But happily nothing of the sort is
visible here. No sooner did THE
FREE PRESS announce Mr.. Wake.
fields candidacy, than the word was
taken up all along the line and made
to echo louder and louder, until now,
as with single voice. the various
counties are emphatically outspoken
in his behalf.
There are many reasons for the
hearty support and unqualified ex.
pressionS made manifest in Mr.. Wake.
fields behalf. some of which we have
heretofore had occasion to remark
upon.
The Conventions thus far held have
been harmonious. There is no "boss"
rule anywhere to be found-nothing
but real and unadulterated Republi.
canism. In this way has the canvass
thus far been conducted and will con.
tinue to the end. AS is too often
observed, the principles of Republic
anism are not buried beneath per-
sonal strife for favoritism. but are
pre-eminently in the fore. The
men thus far chosen as delegates
have been selected from among those
who have fought the battles of the
party from principle, and "a conven.
ton composed of this sort of material
ever acts wisely and TO the best pur-
poses.
OF Mr.. Wakefield's personal char.
acter, too much cannot be said. That
he will make an honored representa-.
tive, and such an one as the people
irrespective of party-can point to
with just feelings of pride. the splen.
did record before us is ample testi-
mOny.
AS we before remarked, the selec.
ton of a standard-bearer for the new
Second District will be made next
Wednesday, and by placing the name
of Hon. James B. Wakefield before
the people for their suffrage, the Con-
vention will have done an act that
will be ratified by the ballots rs few
nominations have ever been. He is
the friend of the farmer, the me-
chanic, the laboring man; in fact
being Il gentleman of refined sensi.
bilities and culture, lie is the true
and tried friend of the people.
We predict for Mr.. Wakefield that
recognition which his personal pop
ularity entities him-a unanimous
nomination.

Total 20 Ol

Iotdl EQUIV copies
Several Others designated their inten
ton of taking quantity of the pam.
phlets, but did not desire to state def
nitely the number. In all probability
there will be sufficient subscriptions
received to warrant the Secretary in
contracting for 100000 copies.
MIR. Hall remarked that there was a
feeling in the convention that the as.
sociation had condensed the space toe
much, and moved that the pamphlet bt
increased from "a to 80 pages, which
was subsequently lost. J. A. Willard
thought that instead of covering &c
much of the pamphlet with individ ual
counties, the matter should be con.
densed and the gene ralities more ex.
tenslvely dilated upon.
Mr.. Shannon very properly inquired
how these pamphlets were to be dis
tributed, and the association might with
profit expend little money in properly
disposing of them.
Secretary Noe desired that his COM
munications be answered promptly, az
nothing could be accomplished by him
unless he received the prompt and
hearty cooperation of all interested
Had written letters to several of the
vice presidents from which no response
has been received.
A motion had been passed in the
early proceedings of the convention to
allot each county not to exceed one
page, leaving six pages of the pamphlet
to be devoted to generalities on South.
western Minnesota. After considerable
earnest discussion, it was thought to be
impracticable to devote 80 limited q
space to the most important feature of
work of this nature, and a motion to
cut the counties down to one-half page
and proportionately increase the general
features, was quite unanimously sup
ported.
A general exchange of ideas as to the
best mode of placing advertising mat
ter in the hands of those DESTROYS of
migrating was participated in and many
suggestions made by different parties.
A very good remark was that of Mr..
Shannon, who thought that the collect
ing of directories from various cities
and villages would afford means of COM
munication with many desirable par.
ties. Others conceded with this idea,
and it looks feasible.
Mr.. Noe did not like to have his glass
car project pass without more discus
sion. He thought, inasmuch as Kansas
had made this novel mode OF advertis-
ing profitable, there was no reason why
we could not do likewise. A sleeper
could be made to answer the purpose by
slight altc-ationi If the int

and a copy thereof transmitted to each
of the Vice. Presidents of the associa-
ton, from which they will be guided in
making out the reports of their respec.
tive counties. BY this means repetition
will be avoided, and the pamphlet made
decidedly more readable, interesting
and valuable.
There were so many motions proposed
and carried, and then reconsidered or
amended and finally killed, that to
present the whole to the reader would
only confuse the mind and render this
report unintelligible, therefor we have
stricken all such from our minutes and
only produce here that which withstood
the shots and shells of the heavily load,
