BLAINE WILL NOT COME.

Hon. James G.. Blaine will not visit
Minnesota to take part in the cam
Paign. His letter of declination is
as fyllows:

from lone has deprived me of the
pleasure Of an earlier response to
your NEST 1attering favor of the

quate expression to my sense of the
compliment conveyed by an invita-

tioo of the Republicans of MInneso.

require so impressive summons to

monwealth. l feel already deeply
indebted to its citizens and would, if
in my power, gladly discharge the
obligation, in small part at least, by
accepting the conventions invita-

HON. JOSEPH CAPsER,

1t rarely occurs that any man il
permitted the privilege of represent
ing ouch constituency as Stearns
county in legislative halls withou,
opposition. but so it is in the case OF
Joseph Capser, candidate for state
senator. Mr.. Capser received the
regular democratic nomination, re.
ceived the endorsement of the PEG.
piles convention at Meier's Grove,
and the mass convention in Sank
Centre. The republicans IN conven.
tion assembled on Saturday last de-
clined to make any nomination, and
Mr.. Capser, therefore, has the field
all to himself.
Mr.. Capser is well known through.
out the county as one of our most
enterprising German-American citi.
zen, one of the earliest settlers of
Western Stearns, and has once
been honored by an election to the
senate. He has, by strict integrity
and generous management, built up
a handsome competency through the
channels of legitimate mercantile
perSuits, and has reason to feel
proud of results. His early life as
one OF toll and hardships, but his
ambition led him to a more promising
field for his energy and industry, and
he became identified with the best
interests of central Minnesota. He
has held positions of trust and con-
lidence in the community in which
he resides. His personal character is
above reprOach, and he is at the
head of family and home which is
a crown of honor to him.
AS a senator Mr.. Capser will re-
present his district honestly, fairly
and ably. While western Stearns
will have a peculiar claim upon him
as one of her most prominent citi-
Zens, yet no narrow policy will he
pursued by him. He will look over
the field carefully, and consider all
interests eonscientiou1ly, before act
ing. Let US give him large COM
plimentary vote. irrespective of
party. and~express our appreciation
OF the honor Of having a senator Sc
ected from western Stearns. It is

FOR JUDGE--L. L. BAXTER.

1t is unfortunate that any sharp
campaign should be waged for the
Judgeship in any judicial district,
and peculiarly so in this one. When
an additional judge was authorized
by law in this judicial district, the
appointing power was lodged with
the Governor, who, after mature
consideration, and with the advice of
attorneys and citizens of the district
irrespective of party, exercised it in
behalf of the present incumbent, L.
L. Baxter of Fergus Falls. Whether
he were republican or democrat
did not seem to enter into the matter
of the selection at all, for il it had
some one else would have received
the appointment. The questions
then carefully pondered, and upon
which action was based, were sim ply
these: Is lie competent? Is lie
honest? Will he be faithful to the
trust imposed? The Governor he.
came satisfied upon these points,
and the record of Judge Baxter dur.
ing his incumbency fully justilles the
d ecision.
That he has given universal salts
fictit n is not claimed-what Judge
did or ever can? So long us lie must,
by the nature of things, rule contrary
to the interests of some person or per-
sons in every decision rendered it
cannot be expected that the loser
will commend the judgment that
imposes TIE Ioss. Every party to a
suit believes himself in the right-or
should 80 believe himself, and it
naturally follows that improper mo.
tives are apt to he imputed to any
one not agreeing with him. This is
the secret Of nine-tenths of the dis
satisfaction with judges upon the
bench. Judge Baxter had no right
to expect the principle to be sus-
pended in his behalf. and yet the bar
association Of his district urged his
candidacy, and he accepted the ten.
der of nomination made by the AS.
ISOLATION. 1t rel resented no party,
no faction, no ring, no self-interest-
ed persons. 1t was based upon fit.
ness as determined by those best
qualified to judge OF it. Such being
the case, it is very evident that
Judge Baxter has claim upon the
voters of this district higher than
any political consideration.
That the republicans saw fit to
nominate a man against him is al
most inexplIcable. 1t is not in &C.
cOrdance with the spirit of the party
which has ever been to keep the
bench alOOf from and above partisan.
ship, as it should be. No other ex.
cuse has been advanced, than that
the district is republican and there.
fore entitled to republican Judge.
Toa thoughtful man, one who will
soberly consider the functions of the
judiciary. the faIlacy of the position
will be self-evident. No such con-
sideration should arise is the selec-
tion OF one whose chiefest ornament
should be absolute freedom from
bias, and whose decisions affecting
interests nearest and dearest to- all
are respectable only so far as such
freedom is manifested in them. A
vote for Judge Baker is the personal
endorsement of this principle.

Congressman knute Nelson was
found floating in the middle of Lake
Victoria about 8 o'clock Monday eve
ning. His watch was stopped at 7:O7,
consequently he was in the water
fully an hour. Just how the acct.
dent occurred is a mystery. Physi-
clans think he had slight stroke of
apoplexy and fell into the water.
His cries were heard by man
named Christian Hanson, who went
to his rescue. Mr.. Nelson was
a powerful swimmer but how he
managed to keet adoat in his
unconscious condition for an hour is
wonderful.
1t was not until Tuesday morning
that he regained consciousness and
was able to tell how the accident
happened which came so near end
ding fatally. He said he was out
in a boat fishing. He felt heavy
pull on his line and became aware
that lie had hooked a very large
pickerel, and the better to handle
his line he stood up in the boat,
when by some mischanee he lost his
balance and fell into the water.
Though an excellent swimmer, the
water quickly chilled him, and after
vaInly endeavoring to regain the
boat, he lost cons ciousness, and i'm
that condition was picked up. He
was in The water between half an
hour and an hour. Tie great won
der is bow ithappened his body did
not sink. 1t was several h ours be-
fore the physicians perceived signs
of returning life, but their efforts
were finally successful. Mr.. Nelson
was then rem owed to his residence,
where he is now resting. He is
able to walk about and talk with his
friends. but thinks the affair any
thing but a joke, even If he did lose
the big pickerel. No serious re-
suits are anticipated as the worst
symptoms are all past, the greatest
trouble being the Thorough c c..i
which his body received.
