Pursuant TO resolution 5000 third serles(

to call tie attention OF your honorable board to
the increase in receipts and profits over former

/ consider IL worthy OF attention, not only as a
proof OF the growth OF the city aud the great in
crease in real estate holdings, but because it is
matter of great difficulty TO handle the vast
amount of papers received daily with the eX-
fremely limited force OF deputies allowed by law
at present.
In 1863. when receipts were 100000 per year
and 5 900 papers were recorded, an additional
deputy was allowed, and for nearly thirty years
there has been no increase in the force. To-day
the receipts more than double aud 10000
papers are recorded yearly, yet we are expected
TO be as prompt In iudeXing and delivering them
as OF old. also wish 10 call your attention TO
the fact that during Mr.. Spots ADMINISTRATION
after repeated requests and Grand Jury inter-
position, yearly fund OF $1,000 was created

OMMUNICATED.

NOTTINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 6, 1890.
Editor FREE PRESS:
AS an old townsman of Mankato, and
having been we'll known regarding my
political Tenderness, thought it might
interest some of my Republican friends
at Mankato, to give them through your
columns the result of my observations
regarding the political statues in this
portion of the 'Solid South" The at
tached clipping from the Chattanooga
Observer, edited and owned by colored
of the recent election in Chattanooga:
Negroes sold their election certifi-
Gates, giving them right to vote, by
wholesale. This account for the light
vote. The depraved rascals sold their
vote for glass of beer, fifty cents or
dollar. We stood in the Fifth district
at Ridgedale and saw of thirty colored
men who, in body sold their votes,
for $3.50. We believe Bob Whitice
added $50 more for good measure. This
was the experience In other places, for
sad to relate, colored men not only sold
their certificates, but sold their votes.
The Times is right; the whole brood
should be disfranchised."
And l can add thatat the late election
large proportion of the negroes resid-
ing in this vicinity voted the Democratic
ticket. They sold out for a drink or
two. There are many honorable ex-
ceptions to the rule, but the voters of
the rank and file of the ignorant negroes
in the South at election time are pur-
chasable quantity.
I do not take any hand in politics
here, but a careful survey of the ques-
ton warrants my saying that it is as safe
to be Republican, south of the Dixon
line, as it is Minnesota, and if the negro
problem was out of the way, large
proportion of southern Democrats
would vote the national Republican
ticket, and do not hesitate to cay that
if some of the hot headed Republicans
at the North, who are bowling in favor
of the Lodge bill, were to come South
and remain three months they would
change their sentiments on the negro
question. The passage of the Lodge bill
is not going to benefit the negro, nor

The Second District Solid as Usual

The result of the Second Di5trlc
Democratic convention was son1ewha
of a disappointment to large number
of people in that it failed to endorse
Gen. Bakers candidacy for congress
And the disappointment will be the
greatest to Mr.. Baker himself, who haG
every assurance that he was to be nomi

son, but as he was the only man aside
from Baker who would accept the emp
ty honors of nomination, it went to
him with little effort.
The Second District congressional
convention met at the court house, al
2 O'Clock this afternoon, pursuant to the
call of the committee.
Before the convention was called to
order, a number of the delegates re.
paired to one of the jury rooms and
from the flights of imprisoned oratoIy
that floated out over the transom, and
the repeated applause, it was evident
that something was up. The noise al
length increased to such length that
Sheriff Geddes concluded that some.
thing serious must be occurring, and
proceeded to investigate the hubbub,
accompanied by FREE PRESS reporter.
They gained admittance through the
unlocked door, and found S. F. Barney
appealing in impassioned lectures to
about fifty delegates present, not to
vote for Baker, preferring to fail with a
Democrat leader than to win withBaker.
His sentiments were frequently ap.
plauded. He soon ceased speaking and
called attention to the fact that FREE
PRESS reporter was present. Several
delegates asked that he be allowed to
stay and report the speeches. Others
were willing that he stay in case he
would promise not to say anything. But
one of the delegates moved that all not
delegates be excluded from the room,
and this received half dozen seconds
and passed with some scattering noes.
After the retreat of the two scribes, the
