JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.

The Republican primaries will be held
this evening for the selection of dele
gates to the County Convention, and
that the contest in the city will he fought
with vigor unprecedented in the histo-
ry of our municipality goes without say
ing. 1t would he folly to chance any
thing like a guess even, The fight on
Sheriff seems to sink into insigniiicance
every other office, although the contest
on Register of Deeds and Senator is be-
ing waged with degree of warmth that
promises 10 emit live sparks and posi-
bly, red hot Goals.
The selection of delegates in the city
on the Sheritialty is a fight between
Monks and Piper. Both are iirst-class
men, and il is truly To he hoped that
after the convention shall name its
choice there will he nothing left in the
way of wounds 10 prevent the successful
candidate from receiving the full vote oI
been conducted in II friendly, though
determined manner. There are foul
candidates in the field, any of which
can he elected with united party.
The fight for Register of Deeds liz now
between Fowler, Bierbauer, Davis ana
SaXton. These gentlemen are all wor
thy citizens and fully qualified To per
form the duties of the office. The con
test is redhot and no foolishness.
The Senatorship is between Bur
CESS, Spaulding and Fletcher. Their,
is no fooling around the underbrush il
this fight, and all the aspirants are rea
sonably sure of success.
For the other offices there seems {,
he no particular contest. II isvery like
~ that Scattergood for Auditor; Mea,
for Probate Judge; Jones for Count,
, Treasurer; Thorn for Clerk of Court
and Parker for Superintendent of school
will have no opposition.
1t is not necessary Ia urge the Repul
leans la he at the primaries tonight
for the various candidates lmve left N
one unsolicited. Lawyers, doctors
, preachers, merchants and laboring me-
3 will all he on hand early To cast thei
/ votes.
1t is to be hoped that our best me
! will he selected ais delegates, for upo
! their judgment hinges the selection of
county and Legislative ticket; also tn
! selection of : delegates To reprcsen
Blue Earth county IN the Republica
. State convention.
The county convention will be held II
the Court House in Mankato on Tuesda
next, Sept. nth.

BLAINE ON PROHIBITION

Hon. James G.. Blaine, in opening the
campaign in Maine last week, has this
To say of the third party or Prohibition
movement:
The pending contest is marked by the
presence of II third party, organized ar
is leaders say, To enforce the prOhlbi-
ton of the liquor traffic IN Name. There
are some singular features pertaining to
this movement. The republican party
in Maine from the day of its organiza-
ton has been pledged to prohibition
cnactlng the principal statute now IN
force i'm lS57-5S, and since amending il
from year to year as the leading tenn
perance men requested.
The republicans have this year with
special emphasis i'm their state conven-
ton reaiiirmed their faith III prohibition
and nominated for governor pronOun-
ced supporter of the law. But all this
does not suit the third party prohibition
lists. They desire u party of their own,
just small enough to have no effect at all
or, If possible, just large enough to throw
the state into the hands entertainments
ic party, which has been az constant in
its hostility To prohibition M the repub-
lican party of Maine has been constant
i'm its fidelity TO prohibition.
The position and form of the third par
ty might i'm fact he thus abbreviated
Whereas, the Republican party of Maine
enacted prohibitOry law 80 years ago
and has since amended IL IA u majority
Of the friends of temperance demanded,
and has in consequence advanced Name
in all matter of temperance quarter OF
a century ahead Of the license states;
therefore, be it resolved that we, MEM
r
will 80 vote as To defeat the Republican
party and turn the government Of Maine
over to the Democrats, who through all
these years opposed prohibition by ev-
cry fundamentally III their power.
Democrats of course, with scarcely an
attempt ut concealment regard the third
party as their special ally. Every voter
knows that he must choose between the
Republican and Democratic parties-and
every voter knows that i'm adjoining the
Third Party he indirectly but effectually
throws his political and moral influence
i'm favor of the Democracy,
The supporters of the Third Party
ADOPT as the shibbOleth that "the Rcpub-
lican party must be killed." and they
have seemed the cooperation of the
Democrat, Of the Free Trader, Of the sa-
loon proprietor, of nll the men who wish
Ia keep six millions of cOlOred people i'm
the South DISTINGUISHED and oppressed.
1t an insincere coalition, an unhallow-
ed partnership, an unholy alliance.
Against it the Republican party of Maine
presents It's uniform support Of prohibi-
ton, it's splendid record of devotion to
the protection of American labor, its
long and patient effort i'm behalf of those
who are down trOdden and deprived of
natural rights. The republican party
has always fought its battle single hand
ed against great odds, and now with
principles untarnished and courage I'M
daunted IT will again triumph over the
combined force of all its foes.

WHAT WILL REPUBLICANS DO

| Editor Free Press:
! write simply 10 inquire as Republi-
can whether the Republican party is to
he committed To the only principle which
governs and Is the controlling spirit of
the Democracy, the spoils of office, by
the endorsement rs these wOuld-be Re
publicans and third party candidates are
pleased To call what they are now cla-
moring for their nomination by the Re-
publican convention? Those men who
through their friends in that non-des-
cript convention sought and accepted
nominations on the platform of hostility
To TIE old parties, most emphatically
severing their connection with the Re
publican party. They, the nominees,
have identified themselves with party
or faction whose platform condemns the
party with which they have previously
affiliated. And for those men To now
ask the Republican party To commit
''hari kari" by nominating, or III they
call it, endorse their nomination by this
Good Thunder amalgamation party, and
Ia give them a quasi endorsement of the
principles TO which they have given
their adherence, is the height of
impudencc. The solicitation of can
didates from the Republican party,
who sought nominations from the ANAL
gaination party, for nominations by the
Republican, convention is. an admission
on their part that they like the Dem
ocracy have but single governing prin-
ciple in their political belief, the offices
and spoils, and that they cannot be trust
eel for fidelity To political principle by
any party.
Now, Mr.. Editor, should the Repubii-
can party he guilty of the weakness and
imbeciiity of going into convention and
nominating candidates or members of
the party, who in their platform de-
nounce the Republican party as guilty
of all the wrongs and outrages in the
political decalogue These amalgama-
ton candidates cannot plead ignor-
ance of the platform, for it was
built and adopted before ii nomination
was made. Will the Republican con
veDtion put the party on the same level
with the Democracy and amalgamation-
lists as simply the spoIls party, or will
the convention stand by their principles
and nominate only men known Ia he true
and Trustworthy. Better 90 down like the
Cumberland with colors dying and guns
booming, then To secure Il temporary
ut the expense of honor.

From ali accounts the primaries in ST.
Paul Monday night were lively. Kelley
and "A son of Donnclly got into an alter.
cation, but no blood was split. Kelly
cleaned out the sntIs in just about the
same proportion that Mc,iill cleaned
out Gilman. As the boys say, "he did il
too sleek for anything" and Me and
Mike" stIll retain their grin on the neck
of the Minnesota Democracy. If the
opposition Ia Kelly supposed that the
sachem was dead, they must have woke
up Ia Il realizing SENSE that he is a nigh
~ lively corpse. Ont ofa total of 1861
votes east at the primaries, Kelly dele
gates gathered in 1924, ora clean MAORI
" IF =, 527. II is alleged that it cost KEEL
~ about 5000 Ia carry this magnificent
majority, but If it did il was spread
among men who need ii much more
than hc does. The state convention
next Tuesday promises la afford lots of
fun for the boys. And they will all DE
there Ia witness the circus.

President SrRAGUE has received a
sound drubbing AT the hands of large
majority of the executive committee OF
the Farmers Alliance, for his presump-
ton in trying 10 turn the organization
over tn the support of Gilman for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Spraguc should show his
manlIness, if he has any, 10y resigning
the office he now holds. His alliance
with railroads and monopoly candidates
entirely units him for the place.

TIE st. Paul Dispatch is trying very
lard to show that McGill's candidacy is
inimical TO that of &. X. Davis for u. S.
Senate. There is not the slightest foun-
daton for such thought. .McGIIl's strong
est friends i'm Southern Minnesota are the
the warmest supporters Davis has i'm the
State. If the Dispatch wants to defeat
Maiill it will have To pursue some other
tactic than the "enmity TO Davis" dodge.

Labor Echo: Geo. w. Spraguc, "presi-
dent" of the Farmers Alliance, would
be nice mark to place upon the board
of railroad commissioners, as Gilman
has promised to do if he should be
nominated and elected. Sprague cried
like baby for reelection to the presi-
dency of the Alliance, and his attempt
TO sell the organization to jim Hills
Hills candidate for Governor is not even
clothed with the decency of political
shredwness;" it is sneaking betrayal
of n sacred trust.

WASEcA County Republicans held their
convention for the selection Of delegates
To the State and Judicial conventions on
Saturday. The contest for delegates to
the Judicial convention was holly con
tested in the caucnses, the friends OF
Buckham and Hickman respectively
working hard for supremacy. The Buck
ham men, however, came out victorious
by an overwhelming majority, and his
denomination 10 the Judceship is an
assured fact. The convention selected
Gibbs delegates To the state convention,
although McGill will receive their sup.
port as second choice. There is no Gil
man sentiment in the county. In fact
the hostility Ia Gilman's candidacy is
very pronounced. Messrs. Gibbs, Lind
and Bobleter We're present at the con-
vention and made brief addresses. Col.
Bobleter is very popular in Waseca az
he is in all the Southern and Southwest
ern counties, and he will unquestionab-
ly receive the support of the delegation
for Treasurer.

The people of Mankato should bear in
mind that, unless this bonus is voted,
the road will not come into the city. II
is all-impOrtant therefore that our peo-
pie rally at the polls on the Dist and vote
the bonds by an overwhelming MAORI
ty. There seems to be very little oppo.
sition to the question, but friends of the
city's interests should leave nothing I'M
done to assure an affirmative vote.

PARcEII.-SHEPHERD- Eve 18th
inst, by Rev. w. E Chambliss, at the resi-
dence of Peter ]. Brown, of this city, Mr..
II. G. PARCEL and Miss Eva Shepherd, both
of Kirsville.
Everybody will be interested in this an
nouncement, for everybody knows Harry
PARCEL, the Photograph Artist" and his
splendid gallery-the handsomest in n. E.
MISSOURI.
Mr.. PARCEL is one of Kirksville's young
men, who by strict attention to business and
determined effort, has achieved success
where an hundred would have ia lied.
Miss Shepherd was reared from her child
hood in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Brown,
where as an adopted daughter, loving and
beloved, she will doubtless be much missed.
The sunshine and comfort of her presence,
however, will be henceforth given to a home
where the sweet and holy duties of wife, shall
engage her womanly affections. That hfes
harvest fields may yield rich tribute of JOY
and of prosperity, is the benediction of many
friends.

MARKET REVIEW.
CHrcAeo. Feb. u. 1886.

The grain market may be said
to be fair with some better indica-
tions. A lively export movement
is talked of in New York and
'breadstuffs are toning up. Liver
pool adyiees show but little change.
The receipts of grain for the PAST
week in this city were as follows
In busl es: Wheat 1882;
oats, 72S, 400; rye. 1883; barley
295, 1862 This is quite an increase
over the receipts of the correspon-
ding week in 1885, except in wheat
of which there is a decrease of
nearly $4,000 bushels. The ship
ments of all grain were larger than
in 1885. Provisions were quiet
during the week, but now rule
strong. Hogs were higher Satur-
day than they have been before
for six months. The receipts were
not SO large as last year but the
shipments were larger. Eastern
shippers forwarded $4,000 hogs
during the week. Cattle receipts
have been small and the market
has ruled strong with but little
change in value. Among jobbers
in general merchandise, there is
an increase in the number of
orders and steadiness in prices.
Collections are better; freights
unsettled. The quotations are CIV
en- below. Grain is strong. Prov
vision active. Cattle lively. Hogs
higher; country products steady;
Money Easy.
