school. He was taken sick during MS
graduating term, in 1871, and was
obliged to leave. He then taught for
five years, three years of which was IN
the high school grade at st. Peter.
Following this, he took up the study OF
medicine and took the medical course
at Ann Arbor, and subsequently grad
uated from the Rush Medical College
at Chicago, in 1877. After practicing
three years at Marshall he took the
full course at Bellevue Hospital, New
York. and has the diploma OF that
well known institution. Upon his re-
turn he practiced two years more at
Marshall and then, in 1888, removed
to this city, where he has since resid-
ed, with the exception of year spent
in study in Europe. He has rapidly
taken first rank in his profession in
the state and has built up an excellent
practice. He is a careful business
man, and knows the wants of the city
as well or better than any other citi-
zen. With cholera epidemic staring
this country in the face, it is highly
important that man so capable of
meeting the eXigency be at the helm.
The nominee for recorder, p A.
Gunders, was born in Norway in De-
cember, 1862, and came to America
when only eighteen months old with
his parents, who located in Fillmore

years ago, and became clerk for Frink
& Richards. In short time he went

ate of the DEBORAH, Iowa, business
college, and attended the Winona
Normal school for two years. He is a
good book-keeper, careful and pains
taking in business matters, and is in
every way competent to conduct the
Office of recorder. He has a register
ed pharmacist in his drug store and as
the business of the store is not large

devote his entire time to the office, if
elected Mr.. Gunders is an unusual

isfactory service.

mayor and municipal judge of that

THE REPUBLICANS FIRST.

The drawing for the place on the
official ballot for the coming city
election took place at 10 o'clock
Monday in the municipal court room.
The names Of the two parties were
put in box on slips of paper and the
box was well shaken. Recorder Brown
drew first the slip bearing the name
of the Republican party. Represen-
tatives of both parties were present.
The drawing results in the placing
Of the Republicans names first, Dem
ocratic second, and Ed. Weaver's
name last, as representing no political
party. Whether there is ANY advan-
tage in the location of the names is
an open question, but every party is
anxious to be first on the list.

ED. WEAVER'S CANDIDACY.

Rumors were flying around Fri
day morning that Ed. Weaver would
be candidate for mayor despite his
overwhelming defeat at the Repub-
lican convention, and that he would
run as an independent candidate. Few
persons gave the rumOr any credence,
believing that it animated from some
hair Drained individual who was so
constituted that he could not stand
defeat like man. Nothing further
was heard of the report until this
noon, when it appeared that several
petitions were circulated simultan-
eously, asking Weaver to become a
"non-partisan" candidate. We learn
that one of these petitions was circu-
lated by Alex Knapp, John LOOMS,
carpenter named Finch and his son,
Frank Jones Ia brother of Bill"
jones', and one other individual.
Backed up by such representative
delegation of citizens, it is said that
200 signatures were obtained to all the
petitions.
At the same time, it is said that a
certificate was made out and that
enough sworn signatures were secured
to comply with the law and getWeav-
er's name on the ticket. 1t requires
one per cent. of the vote cast at the
last election TO do this, which is six
teen or seventeen names. Today is
the last day for fling certificates, and
this must be filed before midnight, in
which event Viewers name will APP
pear on the ticket as a 'non-parti-
SAN"
Outside of few of Viewers per-
sonal admirers, few sore heads, and
some others, of whom Knapp, ct a.,
are representatives this movement re-
ceiyes the condemnation of citizens OF
both political parties. Those who
are pushing the scheme boast that its
object is to spite the FREE PRESS by
defeating the Republican ticket. Fol
the information of all we desire tC
state that the defeat of the Republic.
an ticket will not spite" the FREE
PRESS. This paper is not running fol
office and had no hand in the make
up of the excellent ticket placed in
nomination by the Republican city
convention.
Those who vote therefore to ''spite'
the FREE PRESS will simply be spit
ting in their own face.
THE PETITION.
Mr.. Weaver secured the services Of
w. B. Davies to draw up his petitions
and swear the signers to the certifi
cate. The latter is as follows, with
signatures.

The first instruction against the pro-
posed revision of the tariff along free
trade lines happens in the Democratic
state of Louisiana, where the sugar and
rice planters have called convention to
protest. The convention will prepare a
statement showing the growth of the
sugar ia 'nstry under the bounty system,
the large aGmher of persons interested
in its CT e,lr the capital invested, and
the millions of dollars spent in purchas-
ing machinery in the North for it's pro-
duction. The convention will declare
that if the bounty is repealed and the
duty not restored, the sugar industry
will be ruined. A committee will be
sent to Washington to urge protection of
some kind, and to secure the backing and
and cooperation of northern business
houses.

Through the inadvertance of her legis-
lature, Massachusetts at present enjoys
with South Carolina the distinction of
being state in which no absolute di-
vorce can be obtained for any cause. 1t
appears that by a recent amendment
court clerks are empowered to make the
decree nisi absolute after the lapse of six
months. 1t is claimed that the changing
of the decree would be a judicial act,
while the clerk is not judicial officer.
Consequently judges will refuse to grant
the decree nisi, and the clerks will re-
fuse to act, at least so they say, until the
law has been changed. Such complica-
tions emphasize the urgent need of re-
form and uniformity in the laws govern
ing marriage and divorce. The present
condition of the statutes on thess sub
jects is disgrace to our civilization.

UNION MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE co.

Lit is not given to every man to live in
a mansion, but for that reason people of
limited means do not decline to live in
a cottaae; and by parity of reasoning,
while it is not within the means of all to
carry Ten or Twenty Thousand dollars
OF Insurance, people of more limited
means will find it equally to their advan-
tage to partake of such smaller sums
as may be within their reach.
Thus, when a man is married and has
a family around him, it is source of
pleasure to own absolutely the house in
which they reside, but it is obvious that
every one cannot own his abode, and just
here, one of the many advantages to
which the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company's Trust Policies can be put
presents itself
Suppose man aged 80 years resides
in house, the rent Of which is 5000 per
year, If he has not the means to buy the
same. payment to the Union Mutual of
$75 per year-less than one dollar and
half per week-would secure the neces-
sary $500 for rent for aperiod extending
rs years subsequent to his death, thereby
relieving him Of all care and anxiety in
cident to the maintenance of roof over
the heads of his wife and children, should
he be prematurely removed.
The thousand and one ways in which
the Trust Policies of the Union Mutual
can be utilized, preclude,-for want OF
of space-even their bare mention.
An Insurance journal in a recent issue
said:-"There are so many various plans
for life insuring, that no doubt it would
puzzle the most competent actuary or
experienced life insurance canvasser to
decide which would be exactly the best
one for the insured. However, the I'm
ion Mutual Life is issuing what it terms
a Limited Payment Life Trust Tontine
Policy which at once strikes the judg-
ment that it's provisions will better an
swer the purpose for providing for flu
ture necessities than any Life Insurance
Plan yet offered" ap29eodtf

The Mayor of Biddeford is up to his
old tricks again. The other day the Re-
publican city committee in accordance
with the law, recommended Mr.. Stephen
f. Shaw for member of the Board of
Registration and asked the Mayor to ap-
poiut him. The Mayor replied that he
had already appointed Mr.. Samuel w.
Luques. Subsequently Mr.. Luques de-
clined to accept, but the Mayor still hest
tates to appoint the man selected by the
Republican committee, though the law
appears to make it incumbent upon him
to do so, and the courts will be appealed
to in case be refuses. There does not
appear to be any particular motive in the
Mayors conduct; apparently his only
reason for refusing is because he hates
Republicans and is very reluctant to do
anything they want him to.

They are evidently getting sick of the
recount business in Massachusetts,
Speaking of the recount in the Barrett
case, the Boston Herald says:
WE'LL the recount, so far as it is known at this
writing, elects DR.. Everett more strongly than
the old one did. Now let us have peace and do
away with recOunting altogether. We have
scarcely ever known case where it changed a
really important election. In nine cases out OF
ten at least it raises false hopes on the one side.
and creates unnecessary fears on the other. 1t
prolongs anxieties which might better be ended
with the day of election and it creates suspi-
cons of unfairness which are Improbable, if
not demoralizing. Put all possible safeguards
against wrong counting into the law. but do not
open temptations to 1t by inviting its repetition.
Why annotall parties unite TO repeal this fool
ish and, to our mind, mischievous law. 1t
would save a world of trouble. beside being
open TO the other objections we have instanced.
The Springfield Republican is as fully
convinced of the folly of recounts and
says:
While people have been waiting for the re-
count, which Mr.. Barrett has called for in the
9TH district, the policy of permitting votes to be
Kept and counted again after the result of an
election had been declared has been under gen
to be decidedly against the present state of
things. and in favor OF the New York way OF
carefully guarding the first count and then de-
stroying the ballots. This ensures speedy and
final settlement of election disputes, and re-
moves the temptation and opportunity to tam
per with the ballots. When any result hinge 8
on a few votes, and it is easy to monkey with
the ballots cast in way to change the outcome
| it is a bad thing to legalize recounts. The sly
use of pencil can easily be made to elect a
| congressman down in the 7th district. 1t would
be good public policy for the legislature to give
| its attention to changing the law so as to bar
out recounts. Such change would be fair to
everybody andi would save the possibility of
much trouble in the future.

When ex-Mayor Ingraham wrote his fa-
nous letter impressing upon his friends
the necessity of electing Democratic
mayor in order to ensure continuance
OF last years management of the liquor
agency, he was undoubtedly sincere, and
believed what he said. Yet we now
know that Mr.. Ingraham's reelection
was not needed for this purpose or any
other. A Republican alderman stepped
into the breach,
