EDITOR OF FREE PREss:-For several
years past, great complaint has been
made because the abroad monopolies
in this State have unjustly and unfairly
oppressed and robbed the people by
their excessive charges, and discrImina-
tons in carrying freight and passengers
They have been able to perpetrate their
robberies of the people, by corrupting
and bribing members of the Legislature
who were sent to make laws for the
people. During the last 8 years, every
man whom the people of Blue Earth
county have sent to the Legislature, with
the exception of three has taken brides
from the railroad companies in the
shape of Free Passes" which enabled
them to travel at their pleasure over
every railroad in the State SO long as
they were members of the legislature,
land some of these members have taken
other kinds Of bribes.) These railroad
companies have by such means, secured
such control over the majority of the
members, that they have always stood
ready to pass any laws that the corpo-
ra.ions wanted regardless of the interest
of the people and 1t would seem that
no one Can be so dull. as not to see the
foolishness of sending any more men to
the legislature, who can be bribed and
corrupted by the railroad corporations.
A very large number of voters in
Blue Earth county, regardless of party
lines have determined to vote for no
man for the legislature, unless he has
pledged himself to take no "free passes"
or free transportation of goods from
railroad companies while he is repre-
senting the people in the legislature.
Messrs. Fletcher, Brown, Pratt and
Cook, have pledged themselves to re-
fuse such brides if offered to them
while members of the legislature. We
are determined to vote for no man who
will take free pass from railroads
while he is member Of the legislature,
and to be sure and make no mistakes,
We ask each of the following men, how
they stand on this question MIR. 8. F.
Barney, H. M. Burgess, Robert Hughes
and H. G. Howard. And we also state
that a refusal ON the part of any ore OF
the above named candidates TO give a
full and plain answer to the questions
asked, will be taken to mean that he
piU take brides from the railroad com
panies if he should be elected, and
we will use all honorable means to
prevent any man who refuses to SO
pledge himself, from being elected to
the legislature. MANY CITIZENS.

Vote Straight.

Nothing could be more timely and
appropriate than the articles on coming
out to the polls and voting straight in
our last FREE PRESS, They point ont
the road to easy victory. We have all
the reasons in the world to follow these
directions. The Democrats who have
allied themselves with u third party
are everywhere goingto vote the straight
Democratic ticket. They were always
known to do so. Shall there be a split
in the Republican ranksl We have
legislative ticket this year which has
had no parallel; they are all men of in
tegrity and talent. We have been sue
cessful in the Third district to nominate
one who meets with universal approval.
The people of the Third are coming out
to man to his support, and Mr..
Morris, in the great Republican district
of the county will receive an almost
unanimous vote. The district, this year
more than ever, is determined to poll
straight; the Democrats will Ot-have a
smell of it. The whole ticket can he |
easily elected il the Republicans only
rally. Let every citizen of every dis
trict and town vote the way he shot
in the late war; for If we do not, grim
lefeat stares us in the face, and further.

Free Passes, Etc.

Editor Free Press:
DEAR SIR:-We are glad to see the
matter % giving "Frce Pass" brides to
members Of the Legislature by the
railroad mOnOpolies, agitated in the
papers.
The Legislature in past years made
laws that brought great wealth to the
railroads and great poverty to the farm
ers in this State. And just as long as the
farmers will submit to be led around
by the nose by politicians, and blindly
vote the party ticket" then just so
long the farmers must expect to be
the "hewers Of wood and drawers of
water" while the corporations get all
the profits of their labor and absorb
nearly all the wealth of the country.
The very first step to be taken to get
these great wrongs rsdressed, is to send
men to the Legislature who will not sell
out to the corporations and betray
our interests. Many Democrats and
Republicans in the farming regions
will pay no attention to "party nomi-
nation" in voting for men to 60 to the
Legislature but will vote for men whom
they think they can trust, without
caring as to what political party they
may belong, believing that the interests
involved in this bribing question are of
more Importance than all others. We
are determined not to be fooled by any
legislative aspirant, and all candidates
for the Legislature are notified that
they will not get our votes unless they
pledge themselves not to accept ''free
passes" from the railroad companies.
Men who carry that kind of brides
round in their pockets, are not the men
that we can trust to make our laws, as
from the moment they accept such
bribe, they are sold, body, soul and
breeches to the railroad companies, and
must vote for such laws as the compa-
MES dictate. And If any candidates for
the Legislature Wont pledge themselves
not to accept the Free Pass brides"
they can rest assured they won't get
our votes. MANY FARMERS.

THE AUSTIN, MANKAT0 &sT, CLOUD
RAILROADI
Shall We Have It7
Ala to De Voted Forrh,cseh.

/ Mr.. W. II. Officer, one of the direct
ors of the Austin, Mankato and st
Cloud road and gentleman well and
favorably known ju this locality, was in
the city yesterday looking up the inter.
ests of the proposed line, and arranging
for local aid.
1t is well known that contract has
been drawn, signed end delivered be-
tween the directors of this railroad and
the North American Construction Com
pany, the wealthiest organization of the
kind in this country, which insures sue
cess Of the enterprise il the people will
do their share in the matter. 1t will DC
necessary for the towns and villages
through which the road IS to pass to
vote certain tax in aid thereof, as about
5000, 900 must be raised by this means.
When this Is accomplished, the compa-
ny agree to commence work within 30
days aud To have the entire line com
pleted aud ready for operation by the
18th of December, 1884. The length
of the road from the State line to st.
Cloud is lS9 miles, and will put this
country in direct communication with
New Orleans and other Southern points,
as it is understood that the Illinois
Central will lease the bed for term Of
years.
The importance of this road is Obvi
Gus to any one who has looked at 1t
from geographical or commercial
standpoint, and to Mankato il is of es
pecial importance. We are informed
that in all probability this point will he
made a division, and that machine
shops will be located here.
At the general election on the 7th of
next month, the following towns will
vote on the question of aiding the Aus
tin, Mankato & st. Cloud road IN sums
noted: Alma City, $4,000; Freedom,
$4,000; Austin City, 100000; Austin
town, $1,000; Lansing, $4,000; Geneva,
$1,000; MCPHERSON will vote ON &c.
900 aid the l4th of November. 1t will
be necessary to vote this required bonus
moo, or the Austin, Mankato & st. Cloud
will never be built. Every possible ar
has been completed for its
construction, and it now re-
mains with the people to say whether
they will have it or not. 1t is pretty
we'll assured that the towns noted above
will give large majority in it's favor.
and it will certainly he to their advan
tage to do SO.
MankatC will soon he called upon to
mid in the matter, and in the mean time
let our citizens think the matter over
in its broadcast sense and be prepared
to meet the issue as its Importance re-
quires.

Mr.. Geo G. Clarke, father of our
towpsmsn Geo. A. Clarke, died at his
residence il Kssots. Sunday mo rning
last, Oct. 22nd. For some days previ-
Gus to bis death, Mr.. Clark had suffered
greatly from pneumonia, and being a
man of eighty years of age, it became
apparent TO bis family aud immediate
friends that death would be the iues..-
table result. But he was prepared to
20, end was conscious that his end was
near. Mr.. Clarke came to Mankato
from Michigan, in 1855, and after q
residence here of three years, removed
to Kasota, where he continued to reside
up to the hour of his death. He was a
mau against whose honesty not one
word can be said, friend to all who
knew him; an jndulgent father and a
kind husband. In word, he never did
any man an intentional injury, while
his life was crowned with many acts Of
kindness, and he died happy in the
knowledge that he left only friends
behind. He leaves widow and four
children, Geo. A., Ellis NJ. and Wesley
