young girl named Jennie Fawker,

WAKEFIELD AND THE SECOND
DISTRICT.

The article published in TIE FREE
PRESS couple of weeks since in re.
gard to Hon. j. b. Wakefield's candi-
dacy for Congress has called forth
many compliments from the papers
of the District, among which we
select the following:
The st. Peter Tribune has this to
offer:
We print elsewhere an article from
the Pioneer Press commenting upon
the remarks of the Mankato FREE
PRESS regarding Hon. J. B. Wake
field and his candidacy for congress.
Some harsh criticisms against Mr..
Wakefield were INDUCED in a couple
or more years ago when he was urged
for governor against Gov. Pillsbury,
but we are now satisfied they were
not deserved, and that he is the
honorable man his friends claim him
to be. He is Il man of good ability,
of commanding stature and fine pre-
sence, and wlthal genial and approach.
able-juSt such a man as the people
like. He seems to have almost the
unanimous support of the press and
the people of the district, and if
elected we believe he will prove Il
useful and influential member-a
credit to the State and the district.
We do not believe the resolutions of
the Nashville Center Alliance eman-
ated from an honorable source or from
worthy motives.
The Candy Ne,cs, published in Vel
low Medicine county, thus crates:
A farmers club at NashvilleC center,
Martin Co., has made itself somewhat
conspicuous by presenting the first
direct opposition to Gov. Wakefield
that has been noticed since his name
was mentioned rs Representative from
this congressional district. 1t is our
opinion that Gov. Wakefield has been
before the people too long, and is too
well known to he in the least affected
by this "grunt" in the shape of ere
solves issued by the aforesaid farm
er club, which, ut the same time,
pronounce i'm favor Of one j. A. Lati-
mer.
The Winnel,agO City Press speaks
the sentiments of Faribault county
and echoes the popular sentiment
when it says:
The record of acts in public life is
what generally govern the people in
their choice of candidates for office,
and as "Mr. Wakeield's career has
been IN honorable one" there is no
doubt but the people of the second
District will give the fact due
consideration, and will not consider
their confidence misplaced by elect
ing him to Congress-, and there is no
doubt that if Mr.. Wakefield is nOmin-
ated, but that he will receive the
united support of the Republican
party of the District. Certain it is,
that Faribault county will roll up Il
larger majority than heretofore.
The st. James Journal very callsti-
cally and truthfully remarks:
. The Nashville Centre (Martin cOun.
ty) Alliance has stirred up a hornets
nest by it's resolutions concerning
Hon. J. b. Wakefield. If the mem.
bers thereof are not already ashamed
of their doings they will be when they
see the comments thereon. All such
warfare should be promptly set down
uDOn.

THE MARKETS.

One of the most essential features
of paper, whether it be metropoli.
tan sheet or a country publication, is
the reliability of the markets on day
of publication. We say it isa feature
of great Importance, and especially is
this 50 to the town or city from which
the publication emanates. And again
the patrons of paper look to these
market reports for their guide in sell
ing produce, hence the necessity for
strictly correct and reliable quota
tions is obvious. If wheat, or any
other commodity, is quoted below the
actual market price, the city suffers,
from that error, just to the extent of
the circulation of the paper that mis-
quotes, and the standing it has for
trustworthiness.
THE FREE PRESS forms do not GO
to press any week without a thorough
and careful revision of the market re.
ports. and the confidence placed in
the quotations is implicit and un
swerving. Our attention, however
has teen directed to the Repie,o quo
tations-not only once, but severa
times and the request has been made
of us to call attention to the careless
ness and don't care.a-tiveness of tn,
publisher in making the proper cor
rections. This we have PERSISTENT,
refused to do, but believing that tn,
subject will not receive proper atten
ton otherwise, we would mildly ad
mOnish the Reciac man that he is mis-
using his farmer patrons and insult
ing the business interests of Mankat,
by this llagrant violation of al
acknowledged duty. The only change

ALMOST every day We read &C.
counts in the st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis papers of the "now-you-see-it,
now-you-don 't-see-it' process practic.
ed upon the innocent foreigner by the
snobs of those cities. About the
sleekest piece of slight of.hand per-
Torrance we recall was that practiced
upon Canadian, Friday of last week.
This is the way it was done according
to the Minneapolis department of the
Pioneer Press. "One of the newly ar.
rived Canadian emigrants ut the Mani
toba depot was approached by a
courteous stranger in distress, who
had an express bill of $500 to pay at
once. If the Canadian would kindly
furnish him( the strangely that amount
of currency, he could have 2 United
States bond of 81 900 rs security un-
til the full amount was returned, etc.
The unsuspecting Canadian had not
read the papers assiduously or with
profit to himself. and he unhesitat.
ingly counted out his $500 and placed
the money in the hands of the
stranger, receiving the alleged United
States bond in return. 1t was anoth-
er repetition of the old, familiar story.
AS soon as the dapper confidence
man had obtained possession of the
Canadians funds, he jumped into the
door of an express car standing on
the Minneapolis and st. Louis track,
darted through the car, leaped out
through the opposite door and ran
like a fleet gazelle through an ada.
cent alley, soon disappearing from
view. The Canadian appeared to
discover his mistake in less than five
minutes afterwards, but the time was
sufficient to enable the swindler to
make his escape good" If this is
the way they use those Canadians
up at Minneapolis, no wonder they
are all so anxious to pull out for the
| Northwest
