A Family Reunion.

The past week the town of Eagle
Lake has been filled to overfiowing
with "Pressualls" in consequence of
the reunion of the entire family of
Nathan and Mehala PreSsuall.
Mr.. PresSuall is one of the early set
tiers of Minnesota, coming here from
Indiana some thirty years ago, and
building one Of the first log shanties,
which laid the foundation of the now
thriving village of Eagle Lake. They
had a family of fifteen children,
eleven of which grew up in homes of
their own, some in this state and
some in adjoining states.
Last week the old couple were very
pleasantly surprised by the arrival of
some of their children and grand
children from Indiana and Missouri.
During the last two or three days
between sixty and seventy of their
children and grandchildren have Wis
tied them. This is the first time in
twenty-eight years that all their
children have been together at once,

COUNTY TREASURER.

The name of Peter Lloyd, the Re
publican candidate for county treas
urer, is we'll known to the voters of
this county, and his splendid admin
istration of the affairs of that office
carries conviction to every tax payer
that he is the right man in the right
place. Mr.. Lloyd, during his public
service, has been an exceptionally
attentive official. He has successfully
striven to deal honestly and fairly
with everyone who has had business
dealings with him, and his wonderful
popularity in every part of the county
is an almost positive guarantee that
he will be retained another term, at
che conclusion of which he proposes
to retire from office. The FREE
PRESS will be backed up in the state
ment that the county never had a
more painstaking official than Pete,
nor one who is more richly entitled to
the support of men of all parties who
believe that public office is a pub
lie trust. Vote for Mr.. Lloyd and you
will vote for thoroughly competent
official and mighty good man.

BUT PLYr1AT WAS THERE.

Two political parties billed Rapidan
for speeches last night. The Demo
Gratis announced that's. f. Barney and
Judge Porter would speak, while the
Republicans billed Mr.. w. n. Plymat.
AS the Democrats had their bills out
first, and as there was but one hall in
which a meeting could be held, the
Democrats had the right of way.
A large audience, the majority of
whom were Democrats, gathered to
hear the champions of their faith eX-
pOuned Jeffersonian doctrine and Will
son free trade, but the aforesaid
champions did not materialize. So
about nine o'clock Mr.. Plymat took
the rostrum, and for an hour or more
he pumped good Republican doctrine
into them, and sent his hearers home
feeling that they had been the gamers
in point of political knowledge by the
non-appearance of Messrs Barney and
Porter. This is great year for Re-
publican orators. They have mass
of good material to dilate upon, and
the people are all eager to get it.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

While probably not looked upon as
important, yet it is fact that the
office of county commissioner is one
of the most important offices of the
county. Upon the board devolves all
matters of levying taxes and running
the financial and business affairs of
the county, and it is important, there
fore, that it should be constituted of
safe, reliable business men, of good
Judgment in all matters. The Repub-
licans of the Fourth commissioner
district made no mistake when they
nominated Mr.. A. M Hannay for that
position. He has proved himself to
be one of the best qualified members
of that body, and all matters con-
corning the county receive his careful
attention. His service upon the board
has made him acquainted with all the
details of county business, and will
tend to make him a most valuable
member in the future.

Facts Which Place the Redeemers In a Ri

The republican wise men of Kansas
are trying to convince its citizens that
the reduction In the Pullman car assess.
ment made by the Populiss board was
an enormous crime. Their pRrtisanship
has distorted its Importance and they
have evadsd in their discussion the re-
duction in the railroad assessment in
1891 by the republican board. They are
very careful not to give the true facts
aud figures for they show how.much less
the republican boards loved the farmers
and poor people than they did the rail
roads Of the state. The following table
taken from the state auditors reports
show Of what little consequence the
Pullman car reduction really is in COM
parison with the balance Of the railroad

Cessful Populist meetings were never
held than those at Peabody and Flor
encs to-day. AT the former place the
large rink was filed to overfowlng, and
from 2 o'clock to Senator PETER and
8. s. King presented the forcible truths
OF Populism in q clear and entertaining

all Populists and the respectful stten-

who were present. More than 1000 pso-

after the meetings than ever. The sem
