RLATNE,S FLOP IN 1876.

It is well known, and among other reasons
from the fact that the files were not burned,
that the Kennebec journal edited by james
G. Blaine in 1856, ran up the Know Nothing
Presidential ticket and afterwards dropped it
from mercenary motives, and during the last
part of the campaign ran up the Fremont
ticket. The st. Louis PoSt-DispGtct turns on
the light concerning an incident of the
present campaign:
Gen. Fremont is travelling with Blaine to vouch
for the fact that Blaine supported him and not
the Know Nothing ticket in 1856. Ii is a well
known fact that the Northern Know Nothings
who bolted the nomination of Fillmore in Feb.
ruary, 1856, held a convention of their own on
the 18th Of June, 1856, in New York and nomin-
ated Gen. y. =. Banks. But after Fremont
was nominated they withdrew their ticket in his
favor, and gave him their support. AS to the
pay promised Gen. Fremont for his services in
the campaign, that well posted Blaine organ, the
New York Tribune says:
1t is probable thatthe trip, besides being one of
great pleasure TO Gen. Fremont, will result in
his material advantage. Senator Palmer intends
10 take charge of the bill to place Fremont upon
the retired list Of the army, and to make it his
special business.

refusing the public records to others that he
might the better serve his own private ends.
In every way he has treated the office
as his private property and met the public
with insulting churlshness when
called upon for information. Instead
of doing such portion of the work as properly
belongs to the auditor, he secured through
the legislature, an addition of one thou
sand dollars to his salary, and devotes him
self TO his real estate speculations and
the work of the societies to which he belongs.
The work of the Office which he boasts of do
ing is in reality done by his subordinates,
and if the books of the county are in good
shape it is because his subordinates have
done the work. He is i'm
pudent and churlish when called
upon for information, and insults nearly
every man who is forced to go to his Office
for information. His opponent, James
O'Brien, is thoroughly competent and
honest man. He is poor, which is no
crime, and is laboring industriously to sup
port large family. His experience in the
county clerks Office gives him a practical ed
ucation for his new duties. He is withal a
gentleman and will not treat the Office as his
private property.

MIDNIGHT FIRES.
A Seventh Street Sc0rch and Four
Buildings Burned in the
Sixth Ward.

About IL O'Clock last night an alarm of
fire called the department to Seventh street,
just above Washington. The fire was found
to be in a frame building belonging to the
estate of the late Alderman Fischer. The
fire appeared to be all over the building, in
between the ceilings and up under the roof.
The firemen had a good deal of diff
Guilty to handle it, and were compelled to cut
away the interior of the building good deal
before they could get at it. When it was put
out in one place it appeared in another and
the axe brigade had good deal of work to
do. They finally managed to put out the
flames but while they were doing
this an alarm came in from
West ST. Paul, and a part of the apparatus
was taken off the fire and sent across the
river. The building was occupied by Chas.
Schulenberg. He had been there four or
five weeks. His folks were all at the fair
and no one knows how the fire occurred Mr.,
Schulenberg had no insurance. As to.
whether the Fischer estate had any insurance
on the building could not be learned, as no
one was at the fire who knew. The loss was
probably S400 or $500.
THE SIXTH WARD FIRE.
An alarm was sent in on box 74S corner of
Dakota avenue aud Isabel street at 1854
this morning which was shortly followed by
general alarm which massed four steamers
and the two chemicals at the corner of Whit
all street and Stryker avenue and one truck.
The fire caught from an unknown cause in a
one story frame saloon on that corner, and
spreading to a blacksmith and a
barber shop and feed store, all close to
each other, the four were in bonfire blaze
by the time the department reached the To-
cality and were burned to the ground.
By putting several steamers in line hose
was laid from cistern on the corner of
Livingston and Isabel, half mile, and with
the stream thus obtained and by the aid of
the chemicals two frame buildings adjacent
10 the burning shops were saved and the fire
stopped at this point.
The flames made brill ant appearance
from the bluff and it developed the fact that
the Sixth ward elevated ground is sadly in
need of water supply as had there been
cistern on the corner more of the buildings
might have been saved or partially So
The four story and half structures burned
belonging to John II. Reiners an
old resident and all of them were occupied
but the butcher shop, which was awaiting a
tenant. The loss on buildings and contents
are estimated to be from S3, 600 to S3,5
and it is understood there was an insurance
upon the former, but the amount could not
be ascertained at the late hour, as Mr.. Rel
mers resided half mile distant from the
fire.
An alarm of fire came in on box 716 at
6:O1 last evening, which was caused by a
chimney burn out in the two-story house of
E. Langevin, 81 State street. occupied by
Lucius Keen, in West st. Paul.
A second chimney fire called the depart
ment out to the corner of Eleventh and
Cedar streets on still alarm at 20 o'clock
last evening.

standing his intense sufferings he lived for
almost an hour after the accident
