Charley Brown said he didn't care
for the boat capsiZing nor getting
wet, nor anything of that sort. There
was no inconvenience and in fact a
spice of enjoyment; but the thing he
didn't like was the sympathy so free
ly extended to him and above all the
assumption of the ladies Gas matter
of course) that he was necessarily
suffering agonies of fear while he
waited for a rescuing boat. Charley
says he wasn't scared at all, that he
could have swan ashore had
there been any necessity for it (which
there wasn't) and all those who know
him agree with him.

would indicate that the poison was

STAND BY JUDGE DICKINSON.

There is our feature in the election
OF associate justices of the supreme
court, which the FREE PRESS over
looked in its editorial mention of that
subject last night. The Democrats
IN their state convention propose to
nominate three Democrats for the
positions and so inaugurate partisan
custom that has not hitherto been in
vogue in this state. This means the
plttlng of Mr.. Buck, of this city
against Judge Dickinson, who claim
ed Mankato for his home until obliged
TO take up his residence in St. Paul
because Of his duties upon the bench.
All indications point to the fact that
the twin cities will be pretty solid in
their support of Messrs. CAVITY and
Vanderburg, and unless Blue Earth
county and Southern Minnesota comes
to his rescue this move may result in
the defeat of Judge Dickinson. This
would mean the exchanging of an ex-
perienced jurist for an untried man.
The experience which Judge Dick
enson has attained during his occu-
pancy of the bench, would stand him
well in hand during another term, and
make him more valuable adjunct to
the court, than new man would prove
to be, though his legal attachments be
of the highest order. These are mat
tiers that should be carefully consider
ed by the votes when they come to
cast their ballots, and if the Demo
Gratis persist in their partisan attempt
to drag the court into the political
field let such rebuke be administered
as will cause them to hesitate before
taking such action in the future.
The people of this portion of the
should stand by Mr.. Dickinson in pre-
ference to an untried man. If expert
ence, character and hard, faithful
work count for anything, they demand
recognition at the hands Of the peo-
pie by the reelection of the three
associate justices whose terms are
about to expire.
