THE CELEBRATION.

Saturdays celebration was one of
the greatest and most successful tina t
MankatO ever undertook and carried
out. 1t was well planned and exc
cuted. Everything passed off smoothly
and all went to their homes well salts
fed with the time they had. Never
was there larger body of visitors
within our limits at one time, and
never were they more successfully
cared for.
And for this celebration the city
has the Commercial club to thank.
The idea of it was conceived by that
body, and within it fully carried out.
The result shows fully the value of
such an organization to the city, and
it should receive the hearty aid and
encouragement Of every citizen, and
with it will do more valuable work in
the future for the city's welfare. The
earnest and effective work done by the
members of that body in the various
committees, show what can be done
when men will work together with a
definite object in view Every mem
Der did all that he could, and each
and all are deserving of great credit
therefore. And right here we wish
to say that especial credit is due to
Gen. Baker for the work which he
did From the DoSitiOn which he oc
cupied as secretary of the club, the
carrying out of the details largely de-
volved upon him. He carried on a
large correspondence and kept every
shing we'll in hand at all times. He
proved an invaluable man in his place.
And another matter which should
be here mentioned and due credit
given the commercial club, is that of
the matter of expenditures. Full
value was given for every dollar ex-
pended. Not dollar was allowed to
be wasted anywhere, and those who
contributed financially toward the
celebration, have the satisfaction of
knowing that the money was well
handled in every respect.
1t is hard work to get up celebra
tion upon such scale as was under
taken and carried out, and give full
satisfaction to all. Yet the Com
mercial club was as near successful in
this respect as it is possible for men

THE TRAr1P NUISA NCE.

Already this summer two murders
have been perpetrated in this state
by tramps who were hunted down by
citizens aiding the officers OF the law,
and the criminals are now in jail
awaiting trial There have been
many depredations of lesser note
through the state at various times by
representatives of this class, who IN
some localities carry things with a
high hand. Mankato is at present
over run with tramps as never before
in it's history, and they are becoming
bold and defiant. From all that we
can learn the city is supporting not
less than 100 of these worthless fell
lows in their lazineSS, and encourag-
ing them in their manner of passing
life. In the outskirts and less thickly
settled portions of the city, they are
bold, saucy and impudent in their
ways. They go to the houses when
the women are alone, and, demand
this or that to eat, and when the
good woman of the house informs
them that she has little or nothing
cooked up, they emphasize their de-
mands by threats The nuisance is
fast growing intolerable. Som ething
ought to be done, and that at once to
rid the city of the nuisance which so
thoroughly iufeSts it. The city coun-
Gil has been asked and urged time and
again to take some move in the mat
ter looking to stone pile, but so far
has turned a deaf ear to all such sug-
gestions. That body has had time
and money for steam rollers and other
things which the city could have got
ten along without and never have
felt the loss, but for something in
which every citizen is interested, and
which the prOtec tion of life and prop
erty most urgently demands, it has no
time. 1t would take but the eXpendi-
ture of few dollars to free the city
of every tramp which infests it and
keep it free in the future. Why then
is it not done? A stone pile and
bread and water is something which
the tramp has no love for, and will go
a long way to avoid.
But all the talk so far has failed to
move the council. There is yet an
other way open to get some move
made. Let that body be petitiOned.
Let papers be circulated everywhere
and the council chamber at the next
meeting of the council fairly deluged
with requests that some move be
made to abate the nuisance. Let
stone pile be provided for, and in
tWenty-four hours after it is done the
various camps of Weary Willies in the
outskirts of the city will be deserted
for good, and the tramp thing of the
past in our midst

AS the FREE PRESS suggested some
time ago, it is probable that Senator
Day will have to fall back upon him
self as candidate of the free silver
ties for Congress. Well, if this be
the case, Frank, the Martin
County Sentinel will stand
by you, unless we miss our guess
But as to whether the voters of
Martin county will follow is horse of
quite another color. The Republican
endorsement of Congressman Nc
Cleary is pretty strong indication
that there are whole lot OF people
still residing in the neighborhood of
Fairmont who believe in an honest
dollar.

FOURTH OF JULY, 1896.

Another year has rolled away
And brought again our natal day
The birthday of the nation!
The infant woke to lusty life,
When, mid the sounds of bloody strife,
They signed the Declaration.
hundred and score of years
With royal dignity she wears
Today-our glorious nation
And every county far and near
Acknowledges in her peer,
Whate'er their pride or station.
Yet not content that DER shores
The bird of freedom proudly scars
On strong and airy pinion,
In pity now she stoops to save
The wretched, struggling, Cuban slave
From naughty SPANS dominion.
Today, by Minnesota's stream,
Which winds with many a flash and CLEAN
Along our lovely valley,
From the rich prairies far and wide,
Adown the bluffs on either side,
We see the people rally.
With lannon's roar and roll of drum
MankatO greets them as they come,
With all her banners flying;
Upon this day of all the year
Away with sorrow, pam and fear,
Away with care and signing!
But yet. mid all, grim memory brings
host of strangely different things
Unto these grandsireS hoary,
And casts aside the veil of years
From other "Fourths" of smiles or tears,
And tells to them the story
How once, when fields of golden grain,
Which dotted all the smiling plain,
Were ming for the sickle,
AS black the civil war-cloud grew.
The friendship of the neigh boring Sioux,
From them, alas proved tickle.
And slow the days and nights went by,
While stealthy foot of Indian spy
These streets, (then cow-paths) threaded
And mothers clasped their babes and prayed
Kind heaven to send them timely aid
Against foe so dreaded.
IT'S not for me that tale to tell
The very children know full we'll
The terrible recital
We see. today. city stand
Where once that murderous, savage band
Received their just requital
Old Time has turned full many a page,
And now there acts upon life's stage
Another generation;
Upon this fair, historic spot,
Where God has kindly cast our lot,
We hold this celebration.
Mindful of all the good we owe
To those brave men of long ago
Who signed the Declaration
Thankful for all the blessings lent,
For peace and plenty to us sent,
AS city, state, and nation
Upon this Anniversary Day.
Our fathers God, we humbly pray,
To smooth the path before u.s.
That evermore His power may guard
The glorious, dear, battle-scarred
Old Banner that floats DER US

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

The result of the State convention
Wednesday was foregone conclusion
as sufficient number of county con-
ventions throughout the state had in
structed their delegates for Gov.
Clough to insure his nomination
against anything the opposition
against him could do. From the be-
ginning the canvass which Gov.
Clough made was we'll managed. 1t
was run with the single idea of Sc
curing his nomination, and every en-
ergy was bent to that purpose. On
the other hand the other side was as
thoroughly disorganized, and matters
shaped themselves exactly as the
FREE PRESS predicted early last win
ter would be the case unless some
sort of an understanding was arrived
at. From the organization of the
committee of 100 in Minneapolis, it
was move of plumbers to the end.
Yet in spite of this Gov. Clough made
his canvass against great odds and has
every reason to feel proud of the
great victory he won. To secure two
thirds of such convention is no
small matter. He won a great vic
tory and will be awarded due credit
for it.
The ticket, as a whole, is strong
one and will be ratified by the people
at the polls next November, and the
interests of the state will be well
looked after
1t is matter of regret in this Sec
tion of the state that B. d. Smith did
not succeed in his candidacy for at
torney general. He made good can
vass, and under the circumstances a
good showing but was working against
many disadvantages. The position
which Mr.. Childs has taken in the
railroad cases, anent the attempt to
consolidate the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads, had strength
ened him in favor with the people
everywhere, and made a successful
canvass against him an impossibility.
In view of this Mr.. Smith made a
respectable showing. Had the Sec
ond district stood solidly behind him,
however, the situation might have
been greatly changed and more &C
complished. 1t is probable that the
fact that Mankato has the congress
man worked against securing the So
lidity of the district in this respect.
While before the convention there
were differences of opinion among
Republicans as to what they wanted,
there should be but one opinion now
and that is the success of the party.
The questions at stake to be decided
are greater and of more Importance
than the will or desire of individual
members. They are of greater i'm
portance than men, and the time has
now come for the ranks to close up
and the fight for victory made.

rIcKINLEY AND PROTECTION.

The drama of protection, boys,
This fall we'r gOin to play.
Mckinley and protection, boys,
Are bound to win the day.
We have to part my darling boys,
With what we call free trade;
In every line of that vile law
Lies the assassin's blade.
Beware of false free trade my boys,
What ruin it has brought;
Our lesson in free trade my boys,
Was very dearly bought
With grand protection, boys, once more
Wen harvest wealth untold,
Our Golfers, boys, will overrun
With coins of purest gold.
The poor are sore in need of clothes,
They hardly wear thread,
They search in vain for work, my boys,
To earn their daily bread.
Free trade, my boys, has ruined all
The prospects that were bright,
1t left but gloom DER this fair land
AS dreary gloom of night.
Free trade you all admit. my boys,
Has ruined all our trade;
IT'S facts you know convicts this law,
The truth we can't evade,
Our factories and foundries all
Are losing in the game,
Our glass and tinwOrks all, my boys,
Have lost in trade the same.
The surplus. boys, we had you know
Has vanished all away;
This is a fact, fact as plain
As the bright rays of day.
To keep that grand reserve, you know,
Within our sacred shore,
They've issued bonds and bonds, my boys,
They'll issue millions more.
Protection o Protection grand,
Well hail thee with delight,
We see thee coming from afar
To drive away the night.
McKinley'll lead the mighty host
To drive free trade away;
Protection, o Protection boys,
Is bound to come to stay.
CHORUS.
Hip, hip, hurrah, my boys, hurrah,
For darling Will Mckinley,
We're bound to vote and shout hurrah
For grand old Will Mckinley.

should settle all such questions. Nor do
they favor the abrogation of the two
thirds rule. They intend, however, to
vote down any gold man that the ma.
tional committee may offer, and insist
upon silver man for the place. TT ;
activity for Boies has been accelerated
by the arrival of the candidate, but the
work is progressing on the lines pre-
viously mapped out
Several Iowa Democrats who are anti
silver men, including j. j. Richardson,
member of the national committee, are
here working against Boies and joining
the gold forces in the effort to prevent
the nomination of any silver man.
This has caused great deal of bitter
ness between the factions, and the
Boies men say that they had their fight
at home, and dominated the anti-silver
men overwhelmingly. The Boies men
say that the contest should have ended
with the state convention, and are de-
cidedly indignant that the fight should
be continued at Chicago.

appearance of Governor Boies, and the
managers of other leading candidates
are openly declaring that it is con.
trary to precedent for candidate for

convention. While Senator Blackburn
and John r. Mclean are here, they come
as delegates at large from their respect

emphasis that Mr.. Bland would not SO

come to Chicago during the convention.

Report Of Work Done Not Very En-

CHICAGO, July 6.-The gold state del
egates gathered rather slowly for their
second meeting. The attendance was
very much larger than at the previous
meeting, many more of the delegates
having arrived.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Whitney, and Senator Gray of
Delaware again assumed the chair. He
spoke briefly but not encouragingly of
the work done, assured his hearers that
there had been one point gained-that
Of preventing the abrogation of the
twO-thirds rule.
Mr.. William @. Whitney followed
Senator Gray and was greeted with
great applause. Mr.. Whitney spoke
briefly on the situation and called at
tention to the contested seats and to the
fact that it was alleged that the silver
men were going to throw out delegates
who did not agree with them.
