HE Workingmen's or National party of Minneapolis, promises to cut quite an important figure in the fall election, HE two greatest fairs ever held in Minnesota or the Northwest will be held in St. Paul, and Minneapolis next week. HE St. Paul and Minneapolis de partments of the Pioneer-Press con tain hardly' anything else but "Fair Notes." "I BELIEVE he is a fraud." Well, that is an accusation easily made, but it is another thing to prove it. Did ev er he defraud you? If so, how, when, and where? '..'..'.'.IV.'. HE Minneapolis folks! are greatly displeased because President Hayes will not visit that city during fair week. It is a very small matter to get vexed about. ORVILLE GRANT has unbosomed him Jy ''^T*7^- HE Minneapolis end of the Pioneer Press justly claims that, it has saved the tax payers of Minneapolis nearly $100,000 for the incoming year. Newspapers are of some account after all. WHY are Democrats, who were nev er before known to go back oil their party, streneously endeavoring to have State Auditor Whitcomb re-nominated and re-elected? There is a big-sized nigger in the wood-pile somewhere, AN article copied from the Duluth Herald, endorsing Whitcomb's rernom ination, by an oversight appeared in the columns of vthe 'v""?*Rp&: C. MITCHELL, the wide-awake Duluth publisher, will not down at the bidding of the "white-haired fanatics," he has effected a consolidation of the Tribune and Herald, and Judge Park er is the associate editor. The Tri bune Herald is a six column paper and chuck full of original spicy mat ter. Truly it is a newspaper of which Duluth may well feel proud of. self again, this time to a reporter of the Boston Post, with reference to his brother (U. S.) and the third term-|r HE following special dispatch it As usual Orville "puts his foot u.v V^tho ft Loare Globe-Democrat {rpml^^smAli Brainerd Tribune last week, but this week the editor of the Tribune explains how the mistake occurred, and makes a vigorous plea for the nomination of Mark D. Flower. HE Isanti County Fair is to be held in Cambridge, on the 18th and 19th of September E. G. Clough, of Spen cer Brook, is president of the society, and several other residents of that prosperous town are on the awarding committees. We hope our sister coun ty's Fair will be a success. WE are in receipt of a pamphlet containing the closing argument of ex Governor Davis, in the matter of the impeachment of Sherman Page. W have not had timeto read the whole of the pamhlet, but from what little of it we have perused, we should judge it was the best argument ever delivered before any court or tribunal in Minnesota. W E, and three fourths of the^Re publicans of Mille county are opposed to the nomination of O, P. Whitcomb, and opposed to him from principle. However, we presume the, ringsters and machine politicians will nominate him but whether the mass of Repub lican voters will endorse, at the polls next November, the nominee of a min ority of their party, and who would be indebted to the most corrupt ele ments of the party, for his^omination, remains to be seen, fe*4- No city has responded more liber ally to the cry for assistance from the plague-stricken cities of the South than generous old St. Louis, already $15,000 has been sent south for the re lief of the sufferers, and in less than a week's time $15,000 will have been raised. Noble St. Louis, your big hearted citizens are never slow to re spond to the calls for assistance in times of distress no matter from what quarter the appeals may come. SECRETARY- SHERMAN delivered what the hard money organs would terma brilliant speech at Toiedo, Ohio, on Monday night. His speech was mainly devoted'to a defence of his financial policy and the present system of national banks. Perhaps our per ceptive organs are not very good, but we fail to see anything brilliant in an attempt to champion a system that costs the country annually many mil lions of dollars. DAN ANDERSON, of Cambridge, and M. Q. Buttei field, of Anoka are sug gested as the Republican candidates for the legislature from the district comprised of Isanti, Anoka and East Hennepin counties. If the Democrats were to nominate Weston Hammons, of Anoka, and Ealdwin Brown of East Minneapolis, Anderson and But terfield would not be very certain of being elected although the district is overwhelmingly Repbulican. Such a man as Hammons in the legislature would be worth his weight in gold. LenoiA North Carolina, tell how the^ citizens of that burgh settle their lit tle difficulties: Lenoir, North Carolina, Aug. 24. To-day, two farmers, Galen Stout and Columbus Mandring, went to the house of Elkanah South and dared South to come out, South, with drawn pistol, went out on the steps. Stout then struck him with a rock. South in stantly disharged his revolver at Stont, but missed him. He then fired a second time, the ball taking effect in the abdomen. Stout died this evening. The murderer and murdered were brothers-in-law. Just one year and three days ago, Abram Stout, brother of the murdered man, was fatally stabbed in the abdomen by South. WE would just gently remark that, there is no compulsion on any one to subscribe for the UNION. We are now publishing a paper for $1 50 per year that is well worth $2 50 and we in tend, and shall, improve the UNION still further. At the present price, were every subscriber to pay us up promptly in advance, then we would not make 50 a yearhardly what would pay for three month's board on subscriptions alone but then, we do not propose to raise the price nor diminish the size of the UNION. The UNION has as good, if not better, list of subscribers as any paper published in Sherburne, Isanti, Crow Wing, Benton or Morrison and all we ask of our subscribers is that, they do the fair thing by us and we will give them a paper well worth double the subscription price. But to those who subscibe and never intend to pay, they cannot stop their paper too soon, but before doing so they should pay us what they owe us. "I AM in for hanging the saloon keepers, too they made him what he is," remarked a lady in our hearing .on Sunday, to a group of ladies and gen tlemen who were discussing the shoot ing of Al. Conger by Doc. Warriner. We expressed an opinion that that lady's views were too radical. Take a common sense view of this whiskey selling business. Why is the saloon keeper any more guilty of wrong-do- 3 NO. 36. ing than the wholesale dealers of whom he purchases his liquors? Th wholesale dealer must get his liquors from the distiller the disstiller must have a license from the government before he can manufacture any liquors. Who are the government? We answer the people are the government. Then, place the blame where it rightly be- lougs-~-with the people themselves. We are not making an argument in favor#, of the saloon-keepers, for wo believe there are more honorable vo cations than that of dispensing liquors, neither are we making an argument in favor of liqUor-drinking, for we have seen as much misery, causedby excess ive liquor-drinking, as most people of our years but we do claim that if it is a sin to retail liqnors, it is a greater sin to manufacture them, and a still greater sin for the government to per mit of its manufacture. ELSEWHERE we publish extracts from the Isanti County Press and the Little Falls Transcript. The latter completely answers the former. We have neither time nor space to com ment on the Press' remarks, called forth by a paragraph in the UNJON two weeks ago, about the county au ditors all favoring Whitcombs renom ination. The majority of the county auditors are in mortal dread of incur ring the great I Anrs" displeasure, hence their cringing and fawning, they are not capable of expressing an un biased opinion, and it is a notorious fact that all of these auditors are can didates for re-election, and "a fellow feeling makes them wonderous kind." We defy Whitoomb's most zealous friend to mention a single county audi tor in the state, who is not a candi date for re-election himself, that fav ors Whitcomb for another term? There are others besides county audi tors, who have had business relations with State Auditor Whitcomb, ai.d these "others" do not hesitate to pro nounce him an arrogant, domineering unfair man. If Whitcomb is nomi nated it will be by the "ringsters" and ^Sfeaehine politiciaus who represen Bepubli-t th HE St. Louis Globe-Democrat, one of the bettiiewspapers published in the Unitetplates proposes that the bogus "genertjs," "colonels" and "ma- jors,"^^^^a,#20, $10 and $5 ac cording thd respective rank. That or thinks that if a lot of jumed-up shoddities wish to sport titles that they have never rightly earned they should be willing to pay something for that glorious privilege. In Minnesota "Hon's" and "Esq's" are getting too common plain "Mr." is all that is required, and even the "Mr." coulcl be dispensed with. The follow ing from the Sullivan (111.) Progress expresses our ideas exactly: "In this democratic country, where Smith is just as good as Jones, if both behave themselves, and where one man's voice at the ballot box counts just as much as another's, it is all fol derol to talk of "Hon" so and so, or his "Excellency," Governor of this State or that. This country knows no royalty, and such weak imitations in the way of titles is shoddyism in the extreme. If the people hire a man to work for them in the legislature of the State or nation, does it make him any better than the people he represents? Is it any reason that the records of rulers and oppressors should be search ed in order to find a cheap title to tack to his name? Let John Smith be sent to Congress as plain John Smith and let him be sent there to work for his constituency as a serving man should work, and not to set himself up as an "honorable," who deems himself on this side of the water what Lord Dogenhead is on the other side. There are no lords in this country and none are wanted. There are no rulers but the people, and they should insist up on a plain, homespun Government, with no aping of royalty. Democracy knows no leader the people are be hind the Government, and it is their right and duty to mold it with their own hands. The lumbermen who own or are interested in pine land stumpage on the east branch of Rum river, are be stirring themselves to organize a com pany to erect a dam at the foot of Mille Lacs lake, so that a sufficient head of water, properly controlled, may al ways be held for driving purposes on that stream.
