SLIGHTLY MIxED.-It is not often
that our country friends have chance
to have q good time in the larger cities,
but when they do, they spread them
selves, as witness the following: One
of our Fairfax neighbors who is lead
ing politician in that county, returned
to this city on Friday morning last and
went to bis grocers and asked if his
wagon had come in yet, thinking it
was Saturday. He had passed such Il
pleasant time he had lost day. An
other gentleman from the same county,
wishing to appear in good style, went
to Washington the day before and pur-
chased a pair of new boots and a "biled"
shirt, and then proceeded to spend a
pleasant evening. The next morning
he woke up and thinking he was late
for the train, dressed very hurricdly
and rushed for the depot. In his hurry
he got his boots on the wrong feet and
rolled his shirt up and carried it in his
hand. When he reached the depot his
feet were blistered. After the train
started, he retired to the dressing
ROOM of the car and finished his toilet
and soon came out looking as fine as
Solomon in all his glory.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.-Bor many
years past this city has been without a
safe and convenient place for this de-
post of valuable papers and documents
and those who have been so fortunate
a. TO possess securities and bonds have
been compelled to impose upon the
kindness Of the banks or sent their pa
pers to other cities for safe keeping. In
either case this has been inconvenient
ard unsatisfactory for the reason that
such valuablcs were inaccessible to
owners after banking hours. A few en-
terprising citizens being DESTROYS to sat
isfy the demand for such an enterprise
have recently purchased and erected a
safe deposit vault in the building at the
southwest corner of King and Fairfax
streets, which is absolutely safe against
fire aud burglars, and which will afford
the citizens an opportunity and place
to deposit their valuables without fear
Of loss or molestation and at the same
time be convenient for their hourly in
spcction if they so desire. The
vault is one of the finest fire
and burglar proof vaults in the
South; weighs 10 tons and is furnished
with a hundred separate apartment
burglar steel boxes, and keys. The
vault doors are operated bya time lock
and number combination and were
tested by experts before being put in
place. The vaults will be operated by
a stock company under the title of the
Alexandria Safe Deposit Company.
The gentlemen composing the COM
pany are Judge ]. K. NJ. Norton, F. E.
Corbett, S. G. Brent, c. G. Carlin, L. c.
Barley and a. A. Warield. The last
named has charge of the rental of the
boxes and those who desire to secure
an apartment can inspect the vault and
select space therein during any hour Of
the day. The boxes can be rented
monthly or annually at very reason
able rate. A number of the wealthiest
citizens have already secured apart
ments.

THE FREE PRESS last week fully
and truthfully covered the method
pursued by the three aldermen in
giving the city printing to the ReUieao,
and it has no desire to prolong the
discussion. OF course everybody
knows the silly ground of defense set
up by the ReUieaO on the matter of cir
culation is thinness long drawn out
But for want of a better argument it
no doubt passified the Iecreant alder
men for the part they played in the
drama of proving their unfltness to
protect the rights of the taxpayers.
The WEEKLY FREE PRESS has a
larger circulation than any paper
published in Blue Earth county, and
it don't guess at this statement, either.
We care little about the city printing.
Its loss or gain willmake but trifing
difference with the business of this
Office for the year; but the fact that
three aldermen, sworn to do their
duty and to protect the interests of
the city, should absolutely and with
out reason or possible Justification,
violate their oath of Office and ruth
lessly appropriate two or three humid
red dollars, simply to crafty the re-
quest of an interested bidder is, to
say the least, anything but honorable.
The ReUie,U is welcome to all the glory
it can draw from defending such acts
in public servants. 1t is also at liberty
to continue to use the scurrilous pen
of it's editor against the editor of the
FREE PRESS. 1t has done so without
effect for ten years, and we presume if
the old man holds out he will not fail
to do so for ten years to come. 1t
seems to please him and as it does not
harm US we would indeed be migrate
full to deprive him of this comforting
pastime. Besides, if Wise were de-
prived Of the liberty of personally
abusing us at will, his occupation as a
champion liar would be lost and his
ponderous corporosity would shrink
to point as withered, useless and in
finitesimal as is his brain.

FOR COUNTY AUDITOR.

Names for the various county Off
ces to be filed at the approaching fall
election are being frequently men
toned in connection with the Repub-
lican nomination. The FREE PRESS
does not purpose to name any man for
the guidance of the party, but it has
a mutual interest with all citizens in
seeing a strong and popular ticket
selected so that the Republicans can
make an aggressive and winning fight.
There is more need for selecting COM
petent men to fill the various positions
of trust in the county court house
than may appear to one who has not
given the subject thoughtful consider
alton. The management, to great
er or less extent, of county affairs, is
placed in these officers hands and upon
their ability to handle the funds of
the taxpayers in judiciOuS and
trustworthy manner much depends
for the lowering of taxes and the sat-
isfactory adjustment of public affairs.
Up to this date there does not APP
pear to be the usual number of ap
plicants for places on the ticket aside
from the legislative noted in former
years, and this fact may be taken as a
good omen. 1t is far better that the
office shall seek the man than that
the man shall be setting up pins fol
the office. The Office of county audi
tor is one of the most important of any
| to be filed. and it should be occupied
| by one competent to discharge its
duties impartially. The Republicans,
if they shall select such man for the
| suffrage of the voters, can and will
elect him. Sometime ago Gilbert
| GutterSOn was prominently mention
ed for the office but he positively de-
clines to be considered in this con-
nection, preferring to cast his lot
with the legislative aspirants. The
only name now discussed for auditor
is that of J. G. Fowler. For years
Mr.. Fowler held the Office of Register
of deeds, and without detracting any
thing from the records of those who
have succeeded him in that position,
it can be tIuthfully said that none
has proved a more faithful official or
competent public servant than he. If
the Republican convention shall de-
termine in it's wisdom that Mr.. Fow-
Ter is the man to nominate for county
auditor we have full faith that he
will discharge the duties of the office
in the same conscientious manner that
guided his actions while Register of
Deeds.

FOR PROBATE 1UDGEn "a '

Too much care cannot be exercised
by the voters of Blue Earth County
in putting into the office of Probate
Judge a man who will pass upon the
estate of deceased people in a just, i'm
partial and business like manner.
Where all things are considered it is
the most important position in the
county. 1t is position that demands
in the occupant absolute honesty, a
clear knowledge of probate laws, a
judicial mind, and withal man who
will dispatch business promptly.
Such a man the people had in Geo.
w. Mead for several years preceding
1890, at which time he went down in
the general political smashup. The
office never had more truly capable
man to preside over its affairs, and
the demand for his candidacy at the
approaching Republican convention
has been so general and pressing that
he has consented to come before that
body for it's favorable consideration.
If he shall be nominated there is lit
tie question about his election. 1t is
the duty of the living to put m an in
an office of this character whom they
will feel confident will administer
their estates, if they shall be called
away, in such a manner as shall leave
to their heirs their just deserts and
not permit it to be sQuandered, as is
too often the case with dead mems
property.

THE Journal is trying to make out
that Prof. McCleary favors simply the
single gold standard, and that he
would do away with silver as circu-
lating medium altogether. This is
about as near the truth as the Journal
generally gets when it attempts to
discuss public questions. The SUBJ
stance of the statement Mr.. McCleary
made was that, under existing condi-
tions he was opposed to the free coin
age of silver, but that if at the COM
ing monetary conference, arrange
ments could be made whereby the ma
tions of the world would adopt free
silver coinage that would put the
matter upon another basis and he
would favor the United States taking
the same position, as the danger to
the stability of our financial system,
arising from the United State enter
ing upon the policy alone would be re-
moved. He is not opposed to the use
of silver as money to the extent it can
beused without impairing our financial
system. The fact that the Journal is
obliged to miSrepresent Mr.. McCleary
shows that the opposition is pretty
hard driven in it's attempt to make
out case against him.

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.

The only name mentioned on the
Republican side for the office Of coun-
ty attorney is that of G. L. Benedict,
ESQ. Mr.. B. is young lawyer Of far
more than ordinary ability, and man
of exceptional popularity. Quiet in
demeanor, sturdy in principle, well
read in law, he will make an admirable
candidate with whom to go before
the people, and his nomination means
his election. There is no doubt but
that the Democrats will re-nominate
the present incumbent who is totally
unqualified for the position he assumes
to fill. The county has had two years
of experience in this office and the peO-
pie have determined upon a change.
Mr.. Benedict it would seem to US, is
peculiarly well fitted for the place and
would give excellent service in defend
ing the rights of the county and in
bringing criminals to speedy account.

"a CARD TO THE PUBLIC" written
by the editor of the ReUieau and signed
by aldermen Longini, Schlingerman
and Peterson, is quite in keeping with
their other public acts-susceptible
of good deal of scaling down to find
any honesty of purpose attached.
These aldermen know just about as
much about the relative circulation
of the FREE PRESS and Revieao as they
know about legislating on city mat
tiers. Those who prate about their
own virtues and issue falSehoOds to
cover acts little short of malfeasance
in office need close watching. BY way
of apology for noticing this so-called
card, we take pleasure in saying to
the aldermen who signed it that the
reference made to their high and
mighty selves in these columns was
true instead of false" was honorably
executed instead of being ''cowardly
in it's execution" and worthy of any
man VINO dare TO speak out against
such sacrifice of principle as they are
guilty of. Notorious dishonesty"
would better apply to men who DELHI
erately loot the'city treasury than to
one who denounces such corruption.
Better have Wise write another ''card
to the public" and attach your "X''
thereto. He has whole galley filed
with such elevating epithets as ''no-
toriously dishonest, "dastardly in its
conception" ''cowardly in its execu-
tion," ETC., which would apply to your
case with wonderful aptitude. He
keeps them standing for us, but as a
matter of recognition of past favors''
he might loan them to you.

Col. JOHN A. CoCKERILL writing
upon the lessons to be drawn from
the Alabama election draws the fol-
lowing conclusions:
The outlook for a national Republi-
can victory grows stronger and strong
er. Discontinued labor is ceasing seri-
Gus manifestations, the crops are
abundant, business good for the sea-
son of theyear and prosperity abounds.
The Republican party has nothing to
defend save it's great syst Sm of pro-
lection and reciprocity, while the
Cleveland party is forced, in the ma
ture of things, to apologize for its
very existence.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from
New Hampshire states that the an
nual products turned out from the
mills and factories of that state is
valued at S73,97S,OOO. To produce
this gives employment to 48, S31 opera
tives, who receive S14.S14, 1893 wages
annually. There is deposited in the
savings banks of New Hampshire the
sum of 81 200, 600 by 166, 246 depositors
an average of $41S per depositor, or
$3.50 per capita upon the population of
the state. These results have been
obtained through the Republican
policy of protection. Let Senator
Mills plan Of placing the intelligent
labor of this country upon the plane
of equality with the labor of the old

as have been obtained in New Hamp-
