THE jU0GESHlP OF PARAMOUNT I'M.
P0RTANCE.
Letter from Alfred WalIen

Correspondence of the Redwood GAZETTE.
Through the columns Of your paper,
| beg leave to invite attention to the
fact that the voters of the 9th, Judi.
cial district are soon to vote for dis
trict Judge, whose duty it will be to
precide for seven years in the only
court of the six counties embraced
within the district which has general
jurisdiction both at law and equity.
I hear little talk upon the streets,
and almost none at allsamong the local
practical politicians $50 called)
about the judgeship. This may be
partially accounted for by the fact
that the Office Of district Judge is
wholly non-partisan; and, more peril
nent still, none of the ..loaves and fish,
es so dear to the heart of the .'prac:
tical politician are within the power
Of its. incumbent to bestow.
Just here, beg to enter my protest.
I object to lifting the smaller above
the greater matter; elevating the com
paratively unimportant legislative Of
fees to a place above the judi office.
The latter being of!paramount import
ance, and Of the very highest public
concern. We hear constant harping
upon the subject of electinr mem harss

Facts Worth Remembering.

The Sleepy Eye Herald has admit.
ted that it may have been too rash in
stating that the judicial convention
was pledged in advance to the Braley
delegation. We knew that the Her.
aid was rash at the time it made the
statement, and as the Herald has be-
come the self-appointed champion Of
few chronic soreheads and has as.
sumed to decide the controversy as to
which delegates were entitled to seats
in the judicial and Senatorial conven.
lions without giving any Of the facts
to the public, we feel justified in ma.
king a brief statement Of the :.bot-
tom facts. y
At the Redwood Co. convention
that portion of the delegates who style
themselves the regular convention
choose judicial delegates instructed for
Judge Baldwin, and it was openly stat.
ed among the members Of the conven.
ton that the senatorial delegates
must be left in such 8 situation that
they could be traded off, to secure.
Baldwin s nomin alton, and they we're,
therefor left ttni7ask rlecte1 a.

DEAR SIR:
Since my nomination by
the Republicans of tlis county for Re-
preventative; mstters have arisen,
without my fault or knowledge, which
are detrimental to my election, and
should my name remain upon the tick.
ct the Republican party may loose a
member of the legislature, and as I'M
portant matters including the election
of a United States senator are to come
before that body the coming winter. l
feel that no hazard should he taken
and that the strength of the party
should be utilized for the best inter.
ests of the people. Deeming it for the
best interests Of the citizens of Brown
county, and looking to the welfare of
our party and common good, I hereby
tender you my res ignation with a hope
that your committee will place IN
nomination a Republican who will
make a successful canvass and be
elected by a handsome majority.
yours Respectfully,
FRED. GERBOTH.

heretofore suggested. I am free to
confess that in the matter Of judge
ship, | should refuse to be bound by a
party nomination if the nominee was
in my judgement not qualified for the
trust. l am, however, by no means
willing to admit that the two aspirants
for the judgeship stand on equal foot
ing in point of qualifications and fit-
ness, both natural and acquired. /
have had ample opportunities to study
the two men, and form my opinion
from long and intimate acquaintance
with both; and therefore think can
speak advisedlv. Judge Hanscome
has quickness Of perception united
with a command of language seldom
equaled; besides his adroitness in an
emergency serves him in good stead,
and often enables him to win verdicts
from juries in cases where ADLER men
have failed. Judge llanscome is ali
able jury lawyer, and in that sphere he
can render service to the community,
especially as an advocate. But the
brilliant qualities of AN advocate are
not available on the bench. rhetorical
establishments come with ill.grace
from judge. "A sound Judge is very
apt to be recluse in his habits, a
man given to toll by day and the lamp
by night; in fact book-worm. Hab-
it's Of close application will alone ena-
BILE a judge to perform his arduous du-
ties in expounding the law, and apply.
ing it to Irrigated cases. Judge Hans.
come does not possess such profession.
al habits. None who are acquainted
with Mr.. Weber and capable of ap.
preciating his merits as a lawyer, will
assert that he has a superior in the
district, as contentious and tireless
student of the books.
ODuring his ten years residence in the
district, Mr.. Weber has acquired a
wide recognition among the able law.
yers of the State, as a growing and pro-
gressive man; and as a counselor who
does not rest content with the acquisi.
lions of the past, but is constantly
widening his mental horizon by new
conquests npun the hard fought battle
fields Of his profession. The people Of
this district will do wisely and honor
themselves by calling so able man
into the public service. beg all
thoughtful citizens to study the sub.
ject carefully, and put the result of
their Investigations into their ballots.
If this is done, B. F. Webber will be
our next district Judge.

Pfmnder was endorsed by the Demo
cratic Senatorial convention by vote
of 7 to 4. Three Of the Affirmative votes
were cast by J. ]. Tiffany and isl.
Thompson, two self. constituted dele.
gates from Redwood county. Now it
transpires that these two men are ma.
chine agents at Redwood Falls, and
they came down to Sleepy Eye last
Wednesday to vote for PfBnder en-.
dorsement, in the hope Of giving Pe.
terson u black eye, on business princi-
pies. These men represented them.
selves as the representatives of the
the Democratic party Of Redwood Co.,
duly chosen at a mass convention, but
we are reliably informed that no con-

called or held by the Democrats of
Redwood county for the purpose Of
electing delegates to the Dem. Senator.

has recently sold some wagons to Mr..

Redwood Falls, and this especially ired
Mr.. Thompson, who is handling the
same wagon. Upon Mr.. Thompson's
return to Redwood after the Demo-
cratic Senatorial convention, he sat
down and wrote Peterson as follows:

Thus it will be seen what was the
main factor in bringing about the

Letter frem N. Mullen.
New Ulm Oct. Is, 1882.

Editor Revie,v:
Your paper Of the 18th contained
letter from S. D. Peterson, which is,
as usual, simply a TRADE of falsehoods.-
In April, 1879, he published similar
letter in your paper. In order to catch
a few votes, he tries hard to convey
the idea that he is the peoples great
benefactor. He says he reduced the
price OF a machine which used to sell
from $e5 to $50. This he knows is
false. Bigelow, Murdoch & Co., of St.
Paul, had contract for the Woods
reapers and mowers for this State.
They made their prices about $40
higher than the same machine was
worth in Illinois or Iowa. But about
two years before I quit selling it, the
prices were made the same as they are
now. On May 18th, 1879, answered
his letter setting forth facts.
l will again say, I will pay him, ST..
600 for every machine he finds which
l ever sold for the value of one cent
above contract price, with freights ad-
ded. 1 will now mention few points
for this benefactor to ponder over.
The last conversation Ito my recol-
lection) I had with him was several
years ago, while on the cars. He came
to me and said: "Can't We fix a uni
form rate of freight!'' ''Now'' he
says, you have to pay freight from
New York on your KIRBY, and you only
charge $l2, while my Mccormick is
made in Chicago and I get from $l8 to
$25. Now we can fix up a uniform
rate of 800 or $685. I said, "Thank
yon, never enter into combinations.
Why did he not tell the people in one
of those letters about getting certain
agent to come and see if I would not
agree to quit selling my binding wire
at 10 cts. per pound and put it up to
l212 cents, the same as he sold it at.
You see, gentlemen, the way he redu.
ces prices. You will also feel the
falsity of his claim on reducing ma
chimes $85 to $50. But even if he did
he could still make money by it.. l
will now tell you why. After the
close of the season of 1873, myself as
we'll as many others in this county
read his letter to a certain company,
in which he stated that he would pay
them in cash fifty cents on dollar to
be in full for what he owed them.
This letter was in his own hand writ.
ing. 1also stated in that letter that
he had written or seen nearly all of
his creditors, who had agreed to &C.
cept the same offer. This you see,
gentlemen, would make his goods very
cheap, so that he could well afford to
reduce his prices. In his last letter he
intimates that he wants us to hand UP
and publish his record. If he means a
record of his tricks, then l must de.
cline the invitation, for it would make
a work larger than the book of God.

A terrible prairie fire passed through
Murray, Lyon and portion of Red.
wood counties last Sunday. The high
wind prevailing at the time hurried
the flames along at "a fearful rate of
speed, and hay stacks, stables and
other combustibles succum bed in the
conflagration. Mr.. Blaisdel, near Bal
atom, Lyon Co., lost his stables, all his
hay and grain and only succeeded in
saving his horses and his cattle with
the greatest difficulty. Several other
parties in that vicinity lost heavily by
the fire.

To the Voters Of Brown County.

The Republican county committee,
at meeting held in Sleepy Eye, Tues.
day, Oct. II, 1882, having without my
solicitation placed me upon the Re.
publican ticket as a candidate for Re-
preventative, to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the withdrawal of Fred.
Gerboth, I take this opportunity of
informing the voters of Brown county
Of my acceptance of said nomination,
and to ask their cordial support.
My sentiments upon the main ques-
ton now agititating the people of this
county and State are already 50 well
known, that will merely at this time
reiterate what I have repeatedly said
in print and in conversation. I be.
lieve that the principles of prohibition
are wrong. lido not think that in
this progressive age the people of Min
nesota are ready. and willing to con-
cede to any one man or body OF men
the right to say what another man or
body of men shall or shall not drink,
any more than what they shall eat or
what clothes they shall wear. Exper-
fence, in other States, has taught US
that prohibition does not prohibit, and
that prohibition laws have only tend
ed to array neighbor against neighbor.
The laws of Minnesota are already
ample to regulate the liquor traffic.
These laws have encouraged the in
vestment of hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the manufacture and sale of
malt and spirituous liquors, and every
man should and must be protected in
his lawful calling, and. if elected, I
shall labor and vote with that end in
view.
On matters pertaining more particu.
larly to Brown county, I shall en-.
deavor to represent the ,ohole county,
#impartially and without fear or favor.

A man named Henry Lempke is in
Jail in st. Peter for,,an attempt to COM
nit an outrage on a little three-year
old girl, daughter of n. A. Wetter
green. The little girl was playing in
the yard in the rear Of Wettergreen's
butcher shop and the man entered the
yard from the allye, picked up the
child and took her into privy in the
yard. Fortunately woman who lived
on the opposite side of the alley, saw
the brute take the child, and she i'm.
mediately ran across and notified Mrs.
Wettergreen, mother of the child.
When Mrs. Wettergreen got to the
privy the miserable brute was in the
act Of accomplishing his hellish de.
signs. When he saw Mrs. Wetter.
green the brute in human form fled,
pursued by the father of the child and
several men. He made for the river
bridge and finding his escape by that
way cut off, he crawled into sewer,
where sheriff Moll captured him. A
weak attempt was made to lynch the
brute last Friday night, but it resulted
in naught. The child has been pro.
nounced uninjured by the doctor.
