Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE has form.
ally announced that under no con-
sideration will he he candidate for
the Presidential nomination in 1884.
and while this step will be regretted
by many warm friends of Mr.. Blaine
throughout the Union, yet in the
light of past events and future posi-.
bilities, it is the most judicious move
that could have been made by this
great statesman. Mr.. Blaine has
been identified and strongly consider
ed for the Presidency, and like most
men of his temperament and positive
convictions, has no incOnSiderable
number of enemies. The result of
the recent election made plain to Mr..
Blaine that he had an opportunity
presented whereby he could throw
his influence toward reconciliation
and adjustment within the party, and
he has done SO with alacrity. He
recognizes the undoubted fact that
the success of the Republican party
in 1884 demands new man who has
not been mixed up with any of the
fractional fights or internal dissensions
which have now collapsed in one
grand smash, and he is the first of
the old leaders to extend the olive
branch of peace and unity, and stands
ready to do that which lies within
his power to bring order out of chaos,
by burying all personal ambitions,
and with them all personal hostilities.
He will take no further part in Ma
tional politics except as he may be
,alled upon in his capacity as a priv.
.te citizen and loyal Republican.

AFTER ali the DOastlng or the MankatO FREE
Press about carrying this county for Window,
that gentleman has only one vote from this
county. The friends of Mr.. Morris say he
will give his vote for Gordon E. Cole. and
Spaulding will probably support Dunnell.-
Lok. Crystal Union.
In the first place, THE FREE PRESS
has never boosted about carrying this
county for Window, although the
Republican members elect are indis-
putahly supporters of that honored
gentleman. and will do what they
can to re-elect him to the United
States Senate, the Lake Crystal gas
bag to the contrary Notwithstanding.
THE FREE PRESS talks understand
ingly when it says that Messrs.
Spaulding and Morris will carry out
the wishes of preponderance of the
voters who elected them, and we defy
the Union or its Dunnell following to
prove that they will not. Further.
we will make it still palmer for
George Washington Neff. Messrs.
Spanlding and Morris appreciate that
an overwhelming majority of the Re-
publicans of Blue Earth county are
favorable to Mr.. WINDOWS re-elec-
tion, and We here challenge the edi-
tor of the Union or his would.be wise
friends, to give one word from the
lips of either of these gentlemen to
disprove the assertions we here make,
or to show that they will not heartily
support Mr.. Window. 1t is a well
known fact that Dunnell organs
throughout the State are making a
desperate effort to entice Mr.. Win
dom's friends away, by boldly assert
ing he has not the strength which has
been accredited to him, but the Jig
MS up and the forlorn hope of Dun.
nell's minions is plainly visible. Blue
Earth county has no sympathy with
the weak opposition.

that the Iowa Division of the Illinois
Central, which for twenty years past

SPEAKING of the Probate Judge
ship, ouI neighhOr remarks: 1.-The
Recietc believed, before election, that
in point of ability. integrity and gen.
eral fitness for the position, that Mr..
Buck was the best man. The result
of the election has not changed its
mind. 1t is willing to place its Judg-
ment on record, and await the devel-
opment of events as to its correctness
or that of the popular verdict rem
dered last Tuesday" This is too
funny. The editor of the Rerieo is
always placing his Judgment on re.
cord" and We have yet to find where
his aforesaid Judgment met the
approval of the public. Still, the
two Thousand voters who cast their
ballots for Judge Mead may be an
amalgamated set of internal fools,
while the RecieD man stands out as
the embodiment of wisdom and in
telligence. OF one feature about this
great moralist there is no question,
and that is, lac is possessed of more
egotism and less real knowledge, of
more conceit and less influence, than
even those who have known him most
intimately have previously dared to
acknowledge. Judge Mead has been
tried in the office of Probate Judge,
the people have emphatically ex-
pressed their confidence in him by
awarding him the largest majority of
any man on the ticket who had an
opponent to cope with that was sup
ported by two parties. and it is sufli-
Gent evidence, if evidence is needed,
that he possesses ability, integrity |
and general fitness for the position
sufficient at least to amply satisfy a
creditable majority of the intelligent
voters of Blue Earth county, the
brilliant" editor of the Reoie~ to the
contrary notwithstanding. |
