McCleary will have the hardest fight
on his hands that he ever had"
Attorney Byron Hughes stated to
the FREE PRESS today that he is en-
tirely out of the field, and has with
drawn his name as candidate. He
gave as reason that the expense OF
campaign would be great, and more
than he could afford. He had receiv-
ed many assurances of support from
all parts of the distict, as well as
throughout the county. There were
a good many in the party, also, who
seemed to prefer to give the best Of
fees to recent converts from the Re-
publican party.
1t has developed that the Populist
congressional convention has rot yet
been called. 1t was announced in the
official call for the local county con-
vention that it had been called to
meet at Window, Aug. IA, but dele
gates at the convention yesterday
pronounced this a mistake. A. D.
Ferris, of Pipestone, is chairman of
the congressional committee, and he
is to be asked to call the convention.
1t is believed that there is no doubt
but that the Populists will endorse
Mr.. Day, although many of them
want L. q. Long, of Mobiles county, to
run once more. 1t is felt by the Pop
ulists as we'll as the free silver ele-
ment of the other parties, that the
only hope of success lies in unity,
and the necessary sacrifices will prob.
ably be made.

ACCIDENTS AT MAPLETON.

Monday afternoon Andy Humid, son
of Mr.. Humid, our butcher, was play
ing with a washing machine, with
some other boys, and got his hand
caught in the cogs and got a finger so
badly crushed that it had to be am
putated.
Monday the horses ran away with a
harvester on Lu. Days farm south of
town, which resulted in the death of
one of his best horses, and very close
call for the little boy who was driving
the head team. The boy could not
control his team, which started both
teams, and one of the back horses
was thrown down and so badly cut
that it bled to death.

IT must be most appetizing poll
tlcal spectacle for the Democrats of
Minnesota to watch the action of
their leaders in setting up the pins
for the nomination of a life long
Republican for Governor in the per-
son OF Jno. Lind. Of course Lind is
a good fellow. He could not have
been three times elected to Congress
on the Republican ticket from this
district had he been anything less.
He is good protectionist Ia thing
that the average free silver Demo-
GRAFT hates worse than the devil hates
holy water) and he believes in the eff
cacy of law and order-even to the
extent of endorsing President Cleve-
lands action in putting down the
chicago riot, which action the
chicago convention so roundly de-
nounced. But the leaders of the
Popocrat party in Minnesota are hun
/ CRY for spoils and they have deluded
themselves into the belief that MIR.
Lind will be able to appease their ap-
petite to an extent that no true blue
Democrat can or would. And then
there is another pretty spectacle for
Second district Democrats to feast
their eyes upon, and that is Frank
Day for the congressional
nomination. Day is now holding
a certificate from his district
as Republican senator. He also
holds the title of Govern
or OF the state, having been elected
president of the senate by Republi-
can votes to succeed Mr.. Clough,
who assumed the governors chair
upon the accession of Mr.. Nelson to
the q. S. senatorship. Day
has written more mean things
about the Democratic and
Populist parties, if one is to call
the truth mean), than he could take
back in four years of congressional
life if he devoted his entire time to
retraction. But Day is good fellow
of course he is. Else he would not
have been so often honored by the
Republicans of his district. These
Republican backsliders are all good
fellows, and they have, (some of
them), gone over to the Pops and
Popocrats for what there is in it. But
when the votes are cast and counted
in November they will wonder what
struck them. While the leaders of
these parties are falling over each 9TH
er to cast old-line party men aside for
these recent and temporary converts,
'sthere are others" who will stamp
their seal of disapprobation upon such
high-handed action with no uncertain
sound. You lead "hoss' to water
but it is quite another thing to force
him to drink.

A TIrlELY SUGGESTION.
A on-Partisan, Honest Honey Club
Should be Organized.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
The time has fully arrived when
the Republicans of this city and
county, should begin the organization
of clubs for campaign work. The ma
tional nominations have been make
by each of the political parties and
the platform announced. The lines
are distinctly drawn, and the order of
battle determined. No further time
should be lost. Let us get together
in "clubs" through which alone we
can most efficiently work. respect
fully suggest that names be solicited
and organization begun with vigor.
We must understand that there is
hard work to be done in Blue Earth
county, if we would carry the county
as we can do if prompt and thorough
organization shall be effected. Other
wise we shall lose the county. We
must not fiatter ourselves that our op-
ponents will not be active, vigilant
and resolute. We should cordially in
vite all to join us, whatever past
differences may have been, who will
work for the defeat of the dangerous
and fatal political heresies which
were adopted both at Chicago and
ST. Louis. Let US open wide the
doors, and give the most cordial invi-
tation tn all who will do hattie
against national financial dishonor,
and the incalculable ruin attendant
upon the silver craze. | therefore
suggest in the absence of any other
call, if it meets with genera approba-
tion, that we convene on Tuesday
evening, Aug. 4th, at o'clock, in L.
P. Hunts hall and effect an organiza-
tion. J. H. BAKER.

SHOWS which make it necessary to
provide hay and this is a scarce arti-
Gle On account of the absence of
meadow lands. Even if cattle are
raised by few there is at present no
market for them.
On some parts of Lake Pend d.
Oreille little numbering is done and
an excellent quality of cedar shingles
is made on the Clark's Fork of the
Columbia lRver. The numbering in
dustry may increase somewhat in the
future, although the mountains are
not very heavily wooded with suit
able trees for lumber Yellow pine,
spruce, fir and cedar are the trees
which will furnish lumber. Besides
these the mountains are covered with
an abundant underground of shrubs
of various species which are of no
practical value. This underground
is so dense that in most places it is
with the greatest difficulty that a per-
son can get through it at all.
The mountain or cut-throat trout
and the CHAIR are abundant in Lake
Pend d Oreille and afford excellent
sport at fishing. A small white fish
known as Williamson's whitefsh is
also taken but it is not considered
very valuable. In 1889 the U. S. Fish
Commission planted in this lake
], 100000 young Lake Superior white
fish and it was the object of our re-
cent visit to the lake to determine
whether or not these fish had lived
and whether they were now numer-
Gus. After careful search for three
weeks we were unable to either take
any or get any information concern
ing them, so it seems as though they
had all persisted. Hunting is favor
lite sport in season. Deer, caribou,
elk, bear and cartridges are very COM
mon and'some other animals are taken
for their fur. Beaver were formerly
common but the, places damned by
the beavers furnish such excellent
meadows that they have nearly all
been settled on by ranchers and the
beavers have disappeared.
Lake Pend d'SOreilIe would make
an excellent place for a summer re-
sort were there people near enough
to reach it, but on the east Butte and
Helena are the nearest towns of i'm
portance and these are too distant,
while Spokane on the west has many
lakes just as beautiful much nearer.
This year, owing to the very high
water, the mosquitoes were bother
some during July, but they usually
disappear before Augugt. The eli
mate of the region is very mild in the
winter, scarcely ever reaching lower
temperature than 10 degrees below
freezing but in summer it gets ex-
tremely hot During our stay the
mercury occasionally rose to liz de-
grees in the shade on some of the un-
protected mountains sides.
At present there is not a very bright
outlook for this region of northern
Idaho and about the only thing that
can ever cause it to become settled is
the development of the mining indus
tries.

DONNELLY HEARTBROKEN.

Ignatius Donnelly, who says he has
been at the cradle of all reform par
ties, and who has also been in at the
death and attended their funerals,
and who is now waiting to "view the
remains" of POpulism is sorely strick-
en- and heartbroken at the perfidy of
those who he looked upon as his
friends, because of the treatment he
received at ST. Louis. where he says
he was unnecessarily Inundated Sbe-
fore the world and let's 60 wall in the
the shape Of hot interview in the
Minneapolis Tribune, embodying in it
an editorial from this weeks Repre-
sentative. He was the choice of his
party in five out of seven of the con-
gressional districts of the state, but
was turned down by the delegation in
it's desire toeratify the deal with
Chairman Jones to endorse Bryan for
share of the spoils, if the deal should
prove successful. Then to add to his
humiliation, he was turned down as
member of the committee on reso-
buttons, and S. M. Owens given the
place. Referring to this, Mr.. Donnel-
ly said that four years ago he was a
member of the committee, and wrote
''nine-tenths of the Omaha platform,
which is now enrolled among the i'm
mortal documents of the world, side
by side with the Declaration of indie
pendence. Hundreds of the dele
gates to the ST. Louis convention, of
| this year expected that we would
again be on that committee and help
formulate the beliefs of the party"
And Mr.. DonnellY has a right to feel
sore. In point of literary ability, he
doubtless has no equal in his party,
and is sufficiently cratic and visiona-
ry to dish up as radical and unpracti-
cal platform as the most extreme
PopulisG could desire. In point of
ability there is no question but that
Donnelly laps over Mr.. Owen by a
good many points, and his political
balance wheel is not much if any
smaller. He alludes to how he has
been been used by Mr.. Owens and his
followers, and announces in his Rep
resentative this week that he will sup
port only Mr.. Bryan and the Populist
state ticket, and then retire forever
from politics, letting Mr.. Owens
shirk for himself. He does not ham
| ker, he says, for contest with Lilli-
putians, and says the domain of lit
erature is realm no Owen can in
wade. Mr.. Owen, he says, is not fit to
head free people,, and says that two
years ago he, Owen, declared in a
public speech in Minneapolis, that the
Peoples party was not agreed upon
free coinage of silver, but should con-
fine their platform to declaration
against the political powers of corpo-
rate monopoly, or some other incon-
sequential bosh and trash He does
not like the nomination of Bryan, but
thinks that separate ticket should
have been put up and fusion made
on electors. Where this would have
made matters different, it is hard to
see, as he says it would have resulted
in the election of Bryan, anyway.
There is much dissatisfaction, he
says, over the result, and he sums up
the st. Louis convention in the fol-
lowing words:
The Democratic party raped ouI
convention while our own leaders
held the struggling victims.
