THE UNITED STATES SENATOR
SHIP.

No little theorizing over the United
States Senatorship from Minnesota is
going on since election, and the country
as well as metropolitan newspapers are
taking hand i'm the matter. Hardly
any two papers agree as to the methods
and schemes quietly working to defeat
Ex-Governor Davis; but nearly all are
frank TO admit that some sort of slight
Of-hand work Is being prepared in the
cabinet, with draw curtains, and that the
true character of the programme will be
revealed at the converting Of the legsla-
ture, and such an one AZ will endeavor
to thwart the expressed will of the peo-
pie.
A large majority Of the Republican
members elect to the legislature which
will meet i'm st. Paul the first of Jan
uary is committed to the support of
Hon. G.. X. Davis. This fact is well
known and universally admitted. The
secret connivance, therefore, which is
now going on by certain well-known Re-
publicans TO draw these members from
the allegiance they owe their constitu-
ency-or at least sufficient number to
carry out their plot cannot DO consider
ed honorable, and the legislator who
will lend himself TO such bartering
transaction is unworthy the confidence
and respect OF his people.
There is little doubt but Albert Schef-
fer, of st. Paul, is the instigator of this
movement. He is chronic ofiice-seek-
er and renegade party man. He was
a member of that beautifully faded out
organization known as the Democratic

Bargains in Real Estate.
The Time to Invest in Valuable Prop
Crty in a Prosperous City is Now.
A Few Points Worthy Thought
full Consideration

Advantageous investments in city real
estate are only made in prosperous and
growing cities, and more particularly in
cities which possess natural resources
through which men of energy and cap
ital are offered opportunities for .estab-
fishing factories of various kinds. Such
city is Mankato, with her ineXhaus-
table stone quarrseS, cement stone, clay,
suitable not only for building brick but
also for fire brick, pottery, etc, lime,
sand of a superior quality for glass, and
a great variety of all kinds of wood.
Among the successful industries already
established here are the Mankato Lin
seed Oil works, Fiber works, Cement
works, Tile works, Tub factory, Canning
factory, Foundries and Machine shops,
Carriage works, Paint works, FIGURING
mills, Cigar factories, Lime kilns, and
Brick Yards. Our wholesale business
has, during the past year exceeded
the most sanguine expectations. Among
those doing most gratifying business
are: Wholesale grocery, drug, boot and
shoe, and dry goods houses.
MankatO, as q railroad center, offers
exceptional transportation facilities
something i'm this particular equal to the
larger cities-and each year witnesses
additional consideration in this essen
tial. At present we have the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis d Omaha, with its
branches; the Chicago IL Northwestern,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroads, and the Cannon Valley road
is now nearly completed into the city
and will be in operation in the early
spring. We have street railway, es-
tablished about four months since,
which is doing prosperous business,
and has proven great convenience to
our citizens.
All that is needed to make MankatO a
large city is capital and enterprise. Let
capitalists and men of energy visit our
city with its contiguous fine agricultural
country and take advantage of all or II
portion of the favorable opportunities
offered. The time is certainly coming,
and at no remote period, when Manka-
To will rank with the largest cities IN the
State and i'm the whole Northwest.
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth are
now classed as the largest of our Mime
sofa cities, and Mankato will soon fall in
as next in rank.
Mankato is increasing in population
very rapidly. She has now quite 10000
inhabitants, and never i'll her history
was there such an opportunity offered
for investing in real estate as ut present.
An investment made at this time will
pay an enormous interest by the open
ing of spring.

They are having a warm time out in
Lac qul Parle county over the county
seat contest. A proposition To remove
the county seat from Lac qui Parle 10
Madison was submitted To a popular
vote on the md inst, and the majority
seemed to show up on the side of Madi-
son. so elated were the people of that
burg over their victory that, instead of
awaiting the process of legal possession
they sent teams to Lac qui Parle in the
night, confscated the books and records
of the county and hauled them to Madl-
son. Saturday last crowd of men and
teams loaded the Lac qui Parle court
house, which is frame building about
30x40, two stories high, on four large
truck wagons and Sunday morning NOV
ing of the building to Madison, II miles
distant, commenced. Intense excite
ment prevails throughout the county,
and the strife promises TO be prolonged
and very bitter.

party, until he became convinced that
no pap awaited him there, when he
swung around into the Republican
camp, only 10 be an element of discord,
since which time there has not been a
convention that his name has not con-
fronted in one way or another. That
he is laboring i'm IN underhand way 10
defeat Davis, no one questions who is
familiar with ms well-worn political
methods. He hopes to draw sufficient
number of Republicans from Davis TO
make n combination with Democrats
that shall compass the latters defeat and
make him victor.
Nothing could happen which would
be So disastrous to the Republican par
ty. While The FREE Press has never
been an ardent Davis supporter, and
would have been pleased had there been
a prominent candidate against him in
the early part of the campaign for the
Senatorship, il does not endorse the IF
forts which are now being made to- de-
feat the choice of the people rs so plain
ly expressed in the selection of memb
ers To serve in the next legislature.
The mere fact that Giman's name has
been drawn into the contest cuts III
figure. No man with II grain of sense
would support him for Il position of the
magnitude and importance of u. 5
Senator, and it is waste of time To dis
cuss him i'm tins connection. If there j,
one thing Objectionable in Gov. Davis,
there are Il hundred reasons why Charley
Gilman should never he thought of il
connection with Senator. lie is Il dea,
duck, and nothing would more becom,
the people of Minnesota than To let hin
enjoy the rest he has SO richly earned.
For once, at least, let the people o.
Minnesota have their wishes gratiiied
and let the members elect TO the legis
lature conform strictly To the instruc
tons they have received ut home.
