the position of associate justice and
went to Nevada, where he remained tor
about one year. His business was re-
muneratiye but HE family we're un-
willing to accept the hardsbips Of a new
frontier life, and in 1865 we hnd him
practicing his profession in S.. Louis
and in the early part of 81 he had re-
turned once more to Minnesota where
he has since remained. In 1867 he was
elected city attorney of Minneapolis
and in 1868 was president of the first
board of trade of that city. He was
candidate against VIM. r. Marshall Cor
governor in 1867 and again in 1853
against Judge Ripley for the Office OF
chief justice Of the state, in both in
stances running far ahead of his ticket,
but as the state was largely Republican
he was defeated. In 1870 he removed
to st. Paul, became partner OF Bige

ever since.
In conclusion it is only necessary to
say that Judge Flandreau has always
been universally and deservedly popular
with all classes with which he has come
! in contact. The reason is not far to
seek, He is naturally gifted with un
usual conversational powers and a
sunny, genial disposition. He is also
an attractive exsempOraneOus speaker,
| which makes his services sought ON
numerous public occasions. But more
than all this, his readiness to assume
the laboring oar in all enterprises in
! which he is called to act. thus relieving
his associates often of much hard work
| without pecuniarY advantage to himself.
have secured him the friendship Of large
numbers who dislike the labor usually
imposed as condition Of success. The
| Democratic Party honored itself in his
selection as candidate for Alderman
at-Large in the struggle now going on
in st. Paul, and we feel assured that it
will further honor itself next Tuesday
by giving him the largest majority ever
accorded to any candidate in the history
OF political contests IN St. Paul.
