The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1892-10-14


Wherever there was any doubt the
Democrats and Populists were given
the benefit, and the vote of the latter
was placed especially high, particular
ly in the western counties, where the
Populist stronghold of the state lies.
A much larger proportion of the Pop
ulistS are former Democrats than was
the case with the Alliance two years
ago. Many of the Republicans have
gone back to their old party, while
the new recruits among the Populists
are largely from the Democratic party.
The Populists candidate, L. G. Long,
is making an active canvass and has
permanent headquarters opened at
Pipestone.
Prof. McCleary has the advantage
of being we'll known and personally
popular throughout the district, while
his Democratic opponent, w. S. Ham
mond, is new man and but little
known month ago. The sincere
members of all parties concede Prof.
McCleary's election, and it is the gen.
eral opinion that he has walkaway.

Must BE Open Every Dav.

"when 1 get rich." said a business man to a
New York Sun writer, II am going to give
away lot Of churches, but shall not give
anybody church unless they will agree to keep
it open on week days well as Sundays. There
has been in recent years an increase in the
number Of Protestant churches kept omen
through the week. but would like to see more
OF them. ! imagine that one reason why
churches are not more generally kept open is
the extra expense attending 1t, and doubtless
many persons think that people are all or nearly
all too busy to spend time in churches on week
days. 1t seems to me that the expense should
not stand in the way. and1 am inclined to think
that the number of those who would avail them
selves OF such opportunity for rest and
meditation is greater than is gen.
orally supposed. l know that have never
entered a church in New York on a week
day without finding somebody there. should
like not only to have more of the churches kept
open on week days, but to have more of them
open for . longer period each day; and would
like to keep some of them open all night. 1t is
easy to zee that there might be some objection
70 this; still would like to see churches whose
doors would b always open TO every wayfarsr."

Prom the Chicago Tunes.
The first governor Of Illinois was Shadrach
Bond, aud he was elected by an almost unani-
nous vote. He came to Illinois from Mary
land when twenty-one years Of age and began
life as farmer in Monroe county. He had but
a limited education. but in the school Of expe.
rience and everyday intercourse with his fell
low men he acquired a large stock of prac-
teal information. He was q conyiyial spirit,
kept horses and hounds, and was agreeable
and popular. He was decided in his opinions
and faithful to his friends. He took a leading
part in political discussions of the day, one
Of which resulted in the sending and accept
ance of challenge to fight duel with Rice
Jones.
After the parties had taken their positions in
the field Jones' pistol was discharged by &C.
cident. Bonds second declared it fire and
insisted upon the right of his principal TO re-
turn it. Bond, with characteristic magnan-
Unity, at once proclaimed it an accident. This
magnxnimity on the part of Bond led to an
honorable settlement Of the quarrel Gov
Bond was subsequently elected to Congress,
resigning to accept the appointment Of ne
massive brick building in Monroe county. near
