CARTER HARRISON has at last found

CARTER HARRISON has at last found
out the kind of stuff of which the Chi
cago Democracy are composed. He
served his city as mayor for eight con-
secutive years through the machina-
tions of the toughs which he now so
roundly scores. After the election of
Tuesday, Carter frees his mind in
these words: ''It was in a line with
its action for the last two months,
fraudulent, intimidating, corrupting
and disgraceful. 1t was revelation
to me, as / had never before attended
the polls in the hoodlum districts.
Wilder and more disgraceful orgies,
more besotted savagery and open ap-
peals to buyers of votes could not ex-
ist in the most ignorant of Southern
plantation districts" Carter is to be
congratulated upon having informed
himself of the ''hoodlum' element of
which his party is largely composed in
the great cities and his determination
to wash his hands of the organization
that is controlled by such class is to
his credit.

WHETHER or not the will of the
people of Chicago shall be set at de-
fiance through the corrupt means of
the Cregier crowd remains to be seen,
True it is that they resorted to every
foul method known to accomplished
political tricksters and ballot box
suffers, and no effort will be wanting
on their part to carry their infamy to
a successful issue by seating Cregier.
The official canvass, begun Thursday
afternoon, will take about week,
and until this is concluded the actual
termination of Tuesdays contest can
not be determined. The entire Dem
ocratic press of Chicago, with single
exception, conceded Cregier's defeat
and Hemstead Washburne's election
Wednesday morning, and the only
thing that can prevent the seating of
the latter is frand of the most viru-
lent type.

A STAB AT NEWSPAPERS.


At the Board of Trade meeting Mon
day morning Gen. Pope took occasion to
score the newspapers of the State for
opposing the Currier railroad bill and
openly stated as his belief that they
were paid for so doing by the railroad
corporations. His conclusions for
thus believing, he says, are drawn
from the fact that several country pa
pers contained the same articles from
time to time in opposition to the bill.
The FREE PRESS can only speak for
itself, and inasmuch as Mr.. Pope took
especial pains to mention this paper
without calling the name of any other,
we want to say to the gentleman that
his insinuations of purchased senti-
ments" are as false as they were IN
called for. This paper has never had
one word conversation with a single
railroad man concerning the Currier
bill or any other railroad measure be-
fore the legislature, neither has it
ever received communication, direct
ly or indirectly, from single abroad
company. Whatever has appeared in
its columns has been the conscien-
tious views Of its editor, and whether
right or wrong in the criticisms pass
ed, we are alone responsible.
Some weeks ago Gen. Pope was
solicited to write for the FREE PEEss
an article on needed railroad legisla-
tiOn," and express his views regarding
the then pending measures. We de-
sired this because we believed his
study Of the railroad problem
rendered his views valuable. He
did not accept the invitation, for
whatreason is best known to him.
self. This paper intends at all times
to aid any and every measure to its
utmost that shall rebound to the ben
eft Of the community which it repre-
sentS and which is designed to pro-
mote the welfare of the people of the
State, and if it fails so to do it is from
lack Of judgment and not from mer-
cinary motives. We have quite as
much interest in the progress Of Man
kato and the State in general as Mr..
Pope or some other gentlemen who
can see nothing in the position Of a
newspaper not in full accord with
their own views except that it be
purchased.
The FREE Press is and has been in
favor Of any railroad legislation which
shall give shippers equal right and at
the same time afford railroads reason
able protection. No fair minded man
should want more. We believe that
Mankato, Rochester, st. Peter and
other towns in the interior should not
be Disseminated against by great CEN
trail points like St. Paul and Mime
apolis, and in this we believe the rail-
road commissioners have powers
which, if used as they should be, will
prevent injustice being done.
Before Gen. Pope or any other man
presumes to publicly charge newspa-
pers with yenality it might be well
that he give the matter a little
personal investigation and not jump
onto men who, to say the least, will
average quite as honest as their ac-
cusers.

IT develops that Minnesota was in
debted to the q. S. Government in
the sum of S., 320.2S for arms and am
munition furnished in 1887 and that
sum has been deducted from the
amount due us on the direct tax re-
funding bill which recently passed
Congress. This leaves a balance COM
ing to the State of $50, 926.12, which
sum was accepted Thursday by the
Senate in full of all claims held by
Minnesota against Uncle Sam.

OUR readers still remember the
trial of w. f. Horton, in St. Paul las
winter, charged with the drowning Of
his wife last summer. He was acquit-
ted, but great many people doubted
his story that the drowning was acct
dental, because the body of her little
girl was never discovered, it being be-
lieyed that Horton had purposely saw
ed her. But now comes report that
the body of little girl has been
found somewhere below st. Paul, and
the general belief is that it is Hor-
tons daughter. The remains are bad
ly decomposed. If this be her more
people will believe in Horizons limo

are now in the thrQes of a recount.
1t was announced the day following

THE Democratic contingent of the
Minneapolis delegation in the legisla-

the offence they claim to have suffer

A grateful homage all untutorc3 springs
