other. Peterson was certainly under
obligation to vote for Davis, and his
failure to do so. if anything were in
deed lacking to justly his being
dubbed Slippery Sam, certainly justi-
fees that--term being applied to him.
He ought to be relegated to the shades
of political oblivion as fathomless as
the bottomless pit, and if by any
chance his name is again mentioned
he should be called Slippery Sam.
Sleepy Eye Dispatch: If the GA
zErrE can injure Sam Peterson's po-
litical character $4,000 worth it's
lulu and characters will have to be
mighty high in jury's estimation or
Sam will not get even as much con-
ISOLATION as Donnelly.
Marshall Reporter: Senator Sam
Peterson received very proper roast
from the REDWOOD GAZETTE for his
action in opposing OK. Davis for U:
S. senator. 1t has been a wonder to
many who have known Sam Peterson
for years why he was kept in legis-
lative position so long.
St. Peter Herald: The GAZETTE
charged Peterson with bribery in the
senatorial fight, and the senator wants
them to prove the charges made.
Glittering generalities are not so tell
ing as specific charges, but it is some
times wise to indulge in them.
Granite Falls Tribune: The RED
wooD.. GAzErrE::is strictly Gin it, so to
speak. 1t came out strongly denounc-
ing the senator from that district,
Sam Peterson of New Ulm, for going
back on his promises and voting
against Davis for the U. S. Senate. A
libel suit has been commenced against
the paper by that gentleman. 1t has
come to this: A newspaper must not
criticise public servant for misrepre-
senting his constituents without bring
ing trouble on itself. The GAZETTE
does not back water bit but as firm
~ly denounces the action Of Senator
Peterson as at. first. Two to one the
people will stay by the paper as
against it's enemy.
Mr.. D. E. Laird in the Minneapolis
Tribune: Every Republican paper
in this district is denouncing his
treachery. Sam Peterson's political
sun has set..
St. Paul News: Senator Peterson,
S. D., has ordered the REDWOOD GA
zErrE, edited by Julius Schmahl, to
retract the statement that the learned
senator received $1,000 for his vote
against Senator Davis. Julius will
retract, but Peterson will regret that
he ever entered politics.
Marshall Messenger: Senator Sam
D. Peterson, who was elected to vote
for Davis and who voted for John
Lind will commence suit against the
REDWOOD GAZETTE for libel, asking
damages to the amount of $4,000.
This grows out of a charge recently
made by the GAZETTE regarding the
influences which caused Peterson to
desert Davis after the caucus
Tyler Journal: The REDWOOD GA
zETTE has law suit on it's hands for

ator Peterson's voting against G. X.

of the article but Sam is not satisfied.

Mrs. Crosby, Third district manager, re-
ported that Meeker county would send
to Chicago a miniature log cabin made
from the wood of the log house in which
the first blood was shed in the massacre
of 1861. Mrs. Stebbins of Rochester,
state chairman of the agricultural de-
partment, said that she had learned of
more than 100 women in Minnesota
managing farms varying in size from
100 to 100 acres, all of whom were pros
porous, and thought that accurate sta
tistics in regard to these female pio-
neers in agriculture would be of inter
est to the people of the country.

THE DEMOCRATIC SLATE.
A Strong Combination, but will the
Voters Endorse 1t?

We learn that the Democratic slate
has been perfected,- SO far as the city
offices are concerned. The convention
which will meet in about three weeks
is to be cut and dried affair, unless
an unexpected revolt occurs in the
ranks of the faithful. AS report hath
it, the ticket is to be as follows:
For mayor-Jno. f. Meagher.
For city recorder-H. w. Brown.
For iudge-J. E. Porter.
For treasurer--GeO. MaXtield, Sr.
This ticket Is supposed TO have Ger
tain elements of strength not appar-
ent on the surface, Notwithstanding
the fact that the major element in
the Democratic party, which is al
ways depended upon for success, is not
represented. A truce will be declared
between Mr.. Meagher and Mr.. Porter,
and they will mutually support each
other. With Mr.. Brown on the tick
ct, A r. Pfau's potential support will
be assured. Mr.. MaXfeld went in by
such large majority two years ago
that his candidacy is expected TO help
the entire ticket. This is the ticket
'fixed up" by probably less than half
a dozen men, but it is said to be ''all
right"
Mr.. Meagher was seen by a FREE
PRESS reporter regarding the use of
his name before the convention, and
while disclaiming an idea or desire 10
seek the nomination said he was too
good a Democrat" to refuse to accept
the nomination if properly presented.
Farther than this he had nothi ngtO
say
Whatever.the anticipations Of those
who made the slate. there will be
some strong opposition. EX-Alder-
man Jorgenson stated TO FREE
PRESS reporter this afternoon that he
would not support any man for mayor
who is connected with the electric
light or gas works, as the contract for
city lighting expires during the next
two years, and he knew that there
was a growing feeling that the city
should hereafter do it's own lighting,
having a large part Of the plant. He
was strong in his protest against the
renewal Of the contract, and indicat-
ed his opposition to anyone connected
with the c0mOany being elected
mayor or alderman.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY OBJ
SERVANCE.

The meeting at the M. E. church
Sunday nightwas in commentator of
Washington's birthday, and was
largely attended and very interesting.
Mr.. Rule said that he believed in
Holy Catholic church and the consti-
tuition of the United States. A man
ought to be religious and patriotic. 1t
was right to recognize the annivers-
aries Of great events and the birth
days of such men as Washington and
Lincoln. He had accordingly decided
to give the time OF the evening ser
vice to the discussion OF subjects
which ought to be of interest to every
American citizen and had invited Mr..
Lorin Cray and Prot. Chas. f. KehleI
to make the addresses.
Mr.. Cray spoke of the value Of the
provisions of the constitution of tn,
United States and of the state of Min
nesota in securing and perpetuatiDg
absolute separation between church
and state. The address was timely,
thoughtful and impressive.
Prof. Knhler presented a valuable,
scholarly and independent paper on
the origin, scope, and necessity fol
and future Of the public schools in
this country. He, advocated larger
pay for the schoolmaster, free text
books and ecclesiastical noninterfer'
ence: pointed out some threatening
dangers and gave hopeful view fol-
America under free education and re-
ligion.
The music, which was we'll rendered
contributed largely to the pleasure OF
the meeting.

The annual state convention OF the

BOARD OF TRADE.

The meeting of the Board OF Trade
Monday became more interest
ing than was promised on the start.
Secretary Chapman stated that
while he had not been all around the
city, he had thus far secured forty
four members for the present year
The remainder of the meeting was
devoted to a discussion of Mankato's
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. H. p.
Jensen stated that the stone fountain
would be completed in about two
weeks, as there are four or five men
at work upon it.
w. NJ. FAIR stated that kasOta
stone cutter had told him that the
MankatO stone which is to go into the
arch with d stone from each Of the
other quarries of the state is not a
good one, but is full Of sand holes,
which make very poor comparison
for this city beside KasOta and the
other places. Messrs. Christensen and
Farr were appointed committee to
look into the matter. The stone are
being trimmed at Kasota.
Geo E. Keene was added 10 the
committee which is to prepare pho
tographic exhibit of the city. After
long discussion it was moved to have
views Of the factories included in the
list.
II. 2. Christensen made some eX-
ceilent remarks upon the importance
Of advertising the city at the eXposi-
ton. 1t had been said at previous
meeting that 500 reports of the Board
Of Trade would be enough to send
there TO distribute. He declared that
a million. pamphlets or folders should
be printed, and that if that was not
enough then two million should be
printed. A man should be kept there
to give information about the city and
county, and TO try TO secure newcQm-
ers and factories. Very few other
cities in the state would be represent
ed, and it was Mankato's chance. It
made 30 difference how many other
and larger cities in the state would be
represented, the people who wanted
to come to Minnesota might be in
duced TO come 10 this city. This city
is naturally slow, but it should wake
UP and do something.
On motion Of @. III Higgs, the presi-
dent and secretary were Instructed TO
negotiate with MI, Christensenip re-
gard to securing his services there, to
report at the next meeting.
M. G. Willard also made some re-
marks concerning the city, which con-
tain great deal Of truth. He said
that the city is very DESTROYS TO secure
manufactures, aud people urge it
through the newspapers and elsewhere
but when factories are started, and
that without any bonus, and are got
ten in running order With great ex-
pense, the people want them to pay
for booming the city. They are ask
ed to subscribe to everything, which
generally does not benefit them but
aids the real estate owners, retail men,
hotel proprietors, etc. In this man
ner the manufactures are asked to
bear more than their share of the
burden.
