OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

AS was expected, the Mankato
Congressional convention selected
Hon. James b. Wakefield as tho
standard bearer of the Republican
party in this district for the ap-
preaching political campaign. In
SO doing they not only paid high
tribute to the ability, integrity and
Republicanism of our candidate for
congress but they faithfully repre-
scented an intelligent constituency
who sent them there to make this
nomination. Save in one county
and the delegates from that county
veted to make the nomination unan-
imous on the formal ballot-no
other name was mentioned for this
position than that of Mr.. Wake
fields. Seldom in modern politics
has any man been honored with a
Congressional nomination who made
so little effort in his own behalf as
the nominee of this convention did.
The causc of his success may be
found in the fact that he has hosts
Of friends among the people who
have been familiar with his faithful
discharge of important public trusts
in all positions which he has ever
filled and who believed that his ex-
cellens record in the past is the best
guaranty for his devotion to duty in
the future.I The election of MI. Wake
field is as certain as anything human
can be. He was literally the peo-
pies choice and they will see to it
that he is the next representative
from this district in congress.
Hon. J. b Wakefield is a native
of Conn ecticut, o graduate of Trim.
ty College, and for many years has
been a prominent lawyer Of Blue
Earth City, in Faribault county. He
came to Minnesota with his brother,
DIR. Wakefield, since deceased, about
the year 1854, and has witnessed
and participated in the growth Of
the St,te.. Mr. Wakefield first went
to Shakopee,, where he resided two
or three years, and since has resided
in Blue Earth City. Ills career as a
public man began with his election
rs a member of the lower house in
1868, since which time, for nearly a
score of years, helhas been closely iden
titled with State affairs. In 1866 he
was returned to the house, and elect
ed its Speaker. In the following
year he was elected to the senate
where he served until 1870. Hith
crto he had represented the goth
district, but in 1871 there occurred a
re-apportionment, and Faribault
county was made the 9th district
In 1876 Mr.. Wakefield was elected
Lieutenant Governor, and held this
exalted position during the 18th, 10th,
Goth and 2lst legislatures. The fol
lowing year Mr.. Wakefield. was "a
candidate for the goyernprships, and
came very near receiving the nomi

Who Arc Nihilists ?

Russian Nihilists are not farmers, but

Thus raves the E xpress in its issue to day.
1t would seem that conflict of several years
like the one of the Nihiists against the power
full means of the Russian emperor, and his
government should stand as "Unicum" in
the history of the world, and would have made
known the character of the Nihilists to the
most common reader, and nothing but exag-
gerated commentator of despots can be the
result Of such as the foregoing vlleness. Ig-
norance of the real status Of things, does
not excuse in such cases. It is incompre-
hensible how in enlightened America such
trashy, untrue and contemplate stuff can be
said of the Nihilists of Russia. We may sym.
pathize with or condemn them, Justice we can
always give them. This justice claims that we
should acknowledge the high state of educa-
ton, and the intrepidity of most of them.
Who were the men that were hung as Mill

as such, mostly belonging to the nobility or
families of high standing; officers of the army

editors and printers. How otherwise could
they have accomplished such enormous works.
Such men are not reckoned among the low
