WEDNESDAY last was the time appointed
for holding the Republican county conyen-
ton to elect delegates To the congressional
district conventions; and despite the fact that
there was but one candidate before the party
there was n good deal of uneasiness that
something might turn up, and some cand-
date appear to take advantage of the wide
spread dissatisfaction with Mr.. Wakefield,
and contest with him for the vote of this
cOunty.-R,cisD.
The aforesaid "wide spread dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Wakefield"
does not exist In the Republican
party, thanks To the ReUiep's efforts
to belle him and deceive the public.
Only the diseased brain of the editor
of that sheet has conceived any oppo-
sition TO Mr.. Wakefield, and no conf
dence whatever is placed in what he
reports. The Blue Earth comfy
convention held last week was com.
posed largely of farmers, many of
whom are members of the Alliance,
and in selecting delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention they did so
without discOrd or dissatisfaction,
and were fully and universally salts.
fled with the selections made. OF
course, to have convention set down
so hard on the ReUieo us did the one
of which we speak, makes the editor
thereof feel wormy, and consequently
he is in measure excusable for the
unusual amount of venom elected
through his last edition. He is to he

MINNESOTA CONGRESSMAN.

Within the next four weeks the

of the First District, and these

people of the District, without re-
ference to party fealty, have the
utmost confidence, and his ex experience
in public affairs will at once give him
influence and prestige in his new po-
sition. The First District has not
yet called its convention. The i'm.
portant question to be settled by the
people is, whether or not Mr.. Dun.
nell shall be granted another lease of
office. From an Indifferent and dis.
interested standpoint, we are candid
ly of the opinion that unless he fore.

feated In the nominating convention.
Should he withdraw from the Sena.

sonal District of Minnesota, In Convention
assembled asserting their steadfast adherence
to the fundamental principles of the Repub
lican party do hereby resolve:
That IL Is the aim and mission OF the he
publican party of the country to otect
the interests and guard the rights of the pro
ducers. and to secure to the industrial classes
the fruits of their toll by just and equitable
legislation.
That II is the duty of Congress TO 30 modify
our present Internal Revenue and Tariff
laws as to permit articles of prime necessity
to come into the country free from oppres-
sive ana unjust duties, and To impose upon
luxuries the burden, SO far as practicable, OF
furnishing the revenue for the support OF
the Government.
That the question of cheap transportation
fer our agricultural products Is one OF vital
importance to the people of this country and
we demand that our representatives In the
State and National Legislature shall give
early and earnest attention to the solution OF
this problem.
That we believe in the fuIfillment, I'm good
faith, of all legal acts passed by Congress max
ing grants of land I'm aid of the construction
of railroads I'm our State, but condemn In UNI
in any manner rs to convey any larger Por-
ton Of the public domain than was by Con-
gress originally intended; and demand OF our
members I'm Congress such action as shall
correct the evil and leave the largest possible
amount of the public domain open to settle
ment and cultivation under the homestead
and presumption laws.
That we are opposed to the renewal OF pa
tents by Congressional action OF articles In
common use, by which we are compelled to
pay exorbitant prices far above an adequate
and legitimate return for the capital Involved
In their production and manufacture.
That the high trust of public Office should
he administered In the sole interest OF the
people, and that the same efficiency, econ
omy and integrity should obtain herein as are
looked for In the execution of private trusts.
After the subsistence of the tumult,
a motion was made to take an in.

MR.. WINDOW ON THE WHISKY
BILL.

Upon the fourth page of tO-day's
issue of THE FREE PRESS will be
found portion of Senator Windows
speech on the whisky extension bill,
and we hope that every patron of this
paper, who has not already done so,
will read the reasons expressed by
Mr.. Window why this bill should not
become Il law. Dunnell, in his advoca-
cy of the measure, would have the Gov
eminent pay the expense of guarding
the property of distillers for rs many
years us the owners may desire to keep
it in bond in order to ripen their
whisky and thus increase its market
value. He would likewise allow
the owners of WHISTLES the use of

ing in eight years to thirteen and one
half gallons, equal to one.third of the
entire quantity. without question,
the successful effort of Mr.. Dunnell
to crowd this extension bill through
the House. was one of the most bare
faced efforts at plundering the Gov
eminent treasury that has been con-
ceived in the present generation, and
for thwarting the huge scheme in the
Senate, Mr.. Window has saved the
tax payers of the nation sum of
money that ranges in the tens of
millions.
In this instance, it may not be out
of place to remark that with this ses-
sion of Congress expires the time for
which Mr.. Window was elected to
represent Minnesota in the United
States Senate and also that of Mr..
Dunnell, from the First District, in
the House. MIR. Dunnell aspires to
Mr.. WINDOWS present position. The
Minnesota legislature to name Mr..
Windows successor will be elected
the coming fall, and upon the COM
plexion of that body depends much.
A candid analysis Of the character
and public worth of these two men
will convince any one, without argu-
ment, that Mr.. Window is head and
above Mr.. Dunnell in what
ever position he may be placed, and
that his excellent abilities will be
by reelection as his own
successor, does not appear other than
, foregOne conclusion.
AS shown by the opposing positions
IN the Whisky Bill, MIR. WndOm is II
who guards the public
reasury against the intrigue OF
while Mr.. Dunnell uses
lis influence and talent to take IN.
Justly from the taxpayers sum of
money variously estimated at from
'ixty to seventy five millions of dol

A WRECKIN4 CYCLONE.

Probably more devastating cy,
clone has never been known in the
West than that which swept Ovel
Grinnell, Malcolm, and other points in
Iowa, on Saturday evening last, the
details of which, in the loss of life
and destruction of property, are
heartrending and depressing in the
extreme. From reports, Grinnell
suffered most. The storm appeared
there at $50 o'clock and parties DIES.
cribe it rs mOnstrous black and
green cloud making a noise like a
heavy train of freight cars running
through water on a rocky Dallasted
track. First came the wind, which
broke down the trees, and Immediate
ly following came the revolving tun-
mel shaped monster emitting electri-
cal sparks, and it passed through the
city in less than two minutes, leaving
death and desolatiOn in its wake.
The tornado passed through the
northwest portion of the city, where
were located the hest residences,
and swept away almost every build
ing from ten or twelve entire blocks.
The Iowa Congregational college, a
beautiful four-stOry stone structure,
and large brick dOrmitory near it,
built few years ago at Il cost of
about $4,000 were both completely |
demolished. II small portion only of
the walls left standing.
About forty persons were killed |
and hundred or more seriously ill.,
jured.
Malcolm suffered extremely also
from the tornado. Many lives were
lost and houses swept from their
foundations with not vestige left to
mark the spot save the foundation
walls.
The track of the storm is said to
have been POO miles in length. In
portions of Minnesota the blow was
quite severe. News from Pipestone
states that Z. W. Day, county super.
intendent, lost its house and all the
contents, valued at $1,000. Thomas
Butterfield's dwelling was blown
away and his wife had her left arm
broken in three places and will pos
sibly be crippled for life. Both of
these houses were situated in the
Rock River valley. The storm passed
south, blowing down George Waite's
house and one or two others whose
owners names are not learned.
MankatO fortunately escaped this
terrific tornado, but was visited by a
copioas flow of rain.
LATER.
AS we go to press the daily papers
bring reports Of another severe wind
storm in Iowa, which occurred last
night. The storm covered Black
hawk. Buchanan, Linn, and other
counties, doing more or less damage
in each. The most serious results
are reported from Independence,
where telegraph poles are laid low,
trees uprOOted, houses demolished.
and the smOke-stack of the insane
asylum leveled to the ground. Sells
Bros. circus received serious damage,
and three of the employees were killed.
