Republicani should remember that
lew than two weeks remain in which to
labor for the success of their ticket.
The Democracy, although quiet, are at
work, hoping by apathy in our own
ranks and by the aid or* the Temper
ance ticket, to eleet a portion if not all
their candidates. It is therefore es
sential that no labor should be spared
to get out a tnll Republican vote, for
with this there can be no doubt of
victory.
The tieket presented to the party is
an excellent one throughout. Judge
Austin, wherever he has appeared, has
made a very favorable impression, and
is rapidly gaining friends from the
ranks of the Democracy, who recognize
in him an able and upright man.
Hon. Wm. H. Yale is a gentleman
of education and ability, has had ex
perience in public positions, and will
fill with eredit the Lieutenant Govern
or's chair.
Col. Hans Mattsou is a representa
tive Seandinavin, and he has done
much to settle Minnesota with good
citizens and true Republicans. He
deserves and will receive tho hearty
rapport of the party.
A persistent attempt is being made
to defeat Hon Chas. Mcllrath for re
election as State Auditor. Various
changes have been brought against his
official conduct, but they remain only
charges—no proof is adduced in their
rapport. The Iiighly favorable condi
tion of our school lund is a sufficient
endorsement of the faithfulness with
which he has attended to the im
portant trust reposed in his hands.
Capt. Emil Munch, a true soldier
and a faithful officer, will, by arousing
majority, have the keys of the Treasury
committed to his keeping for another
two yean. He will receive the votes
of many German Democrats through
out this portion of the State.
Judge Ripley, Hon. F. R. E. Cor
nell and Sherwood Hough, are all well
known to be deserving the confidence
of tho party, and should receive its
suffrages.
The election of Hon. H. C. Wait to
the Senate is a foregone conclusion.
Tho weakness of bis competitor is a
guarantee of this, even were the
Republican majority in the District not
so large. In consideration of Mr.
Wait's experience, his large property
Interests throughout the upper country
and hia well known energy, he will bo
largely supported by the Democratic
P"*1!* 7 mM7 members of whioh
hold our Ideal necessities aa paramount
to any political requirements.
Tho notorious unpopularity of the
Demoeratio nominee for Represen
tative, in contrast with the irreproacha
ble reputation and unquestioned fitness
of the Republican candidate, Rev. F.
H. Tubbe, leads us to hope that even
Stearns county will not sacrifice her
interest* en the altar of party loll}.
We need men ef influence, who can
command tho co-operation of their fel
low members in the Legislature, and
we believe the people ef this county
fully appreciate this, and will send Mr.
Tubba to represent them:
Marked dissatisfaction exists in the
ranks of tho Democracy with their can
didate for Treasurer, and the prospects
look favorable for the election of Rev.
Noah Latbrop, who would certainly
servo tho county faithfully and honestly.
Taos. C. Alden is just about as good
as elected Sheriff. With two Demo
eratio candidates in the field, and with
the open support of many of the best
men in that party, all that remains to
make success certain is for Republicans
to turn out to the polls. Mr, Alden
would be a great improvement on what
we have had in that office.
Thesamemay be said of Capt. Collins'
——--^although ho has the aid of
no third candidate, Rut his own abili
ty, his hosts of friends in both paitics,
1 the acknowledged necessity for a
change, make his election certain.
Too nominees for Judge of Probate,
Surveyor,'Coroner and Commissioners,
Aiwall good men, and treir election
would be a credit to the county.

much can be accomplished In the time
which yet remains. Lot every man uV
his duty.
HON. IGNATIUS DONNELLY deliver
ed the annual address at the Dakota
County Agricultural Fair on Wednesday
last. It was dcYOtsd to a consideration,
of the present condition of farmers
throughout tho West. Tho speaker
attributed the low pries of wheat aud
the high cost of living to the unequal
operations of tho y-jiff, which dispro
portionately favors manufacturers, and
to the inflatod currency. Ho,. WJS fal
lowed by Governor Marshall, who main
tained that tho tariff had nothing hat
over to do with the low. price of wheat
and tho hard times that at no period
had tho depression throughout the.
West been so great as at the time of
too low tariff in 1857. He advised
farmers, as a relief, to diversify their
industry, and not give too exclusive at
tention to wheat raising.
This question of the tariff must soon
absorb all the issues of the present or
the immediate past, and men should be
oarefully considering its various fea
tures.
A REPORI from Gen. Geo. II. Thom
as, who recently returned from Alaska,
confirms that ioe-berg purchase as an
unmitigated swindle upon the American
people, a fair sample of tho extrava
gance which characterized Johnson's
administration. He says groin cannot
be grown, and tho country is worthless
for stock raising no mines have been
discovered whioh it would pay to work
there is coal there, but plenty just as
good can bo had a thousand miles near
er tho plioe of demand it was a bur*
den to Russia, and the less we spend
on it the less we will lose—there being
no hope of gaining anything. The only
possible value ot the purohaso will be
the effect it may have in lessening the
hold of England upon British Colum
bia.
JUDGE WILSON, of Winona, has
written a letter to tho Press ia rela
tion to a report published by that paper
concerning his recent speech at Winona,
on the Senatorial question, of which re
port he says that "every statement
charge here mado is maliciously false/*
Mr. Simpson, the recently nominat
ed Republican candidate for the Senate
in Winona county, states that he is
wholly unpledged on the United States
Senatorial question.
a» i'
MB. HUGH W. GREENE has pur-
chased a majority of the stock of the
Minneapolis Tribune and become the
editor of the paper. He proposes to let
alone the dissensions which have di
vided the Republican party in this dis
trict in the past, so that free from all
cliques and entangling alliances, the
paper may now enter upon anew epoch.
It is certainly time for some such
change, and on the new basis we wish
the Tribum abundant prosperity.
REV. BOWDISH, Chairman of the
Temperance Committee, had the
as-slander
surance to ask that Republican speak
ers divide their timo with the so-called
Temperance spaakers. This cool prop
osition that tho Republicans should
get up what the others could not—large
meetings—and then give these new
allies of the Democracy the use of
them, was very promptly and very prop
erly declined by tho Republican Com
mittee.
CERTAIN circumstances would seem
to indicate that Dan. Norton would
like to be his own successor as United
States Senator, and that he is laying
his ropes for a re-election. As a part
of the programme, C. F. Buck, late
Republican incumbent of the Wioooa
post office, has been nominated by the
Democracy of Winona county as a can
didate for the Senate.
So far as we have been able to learn,
the Temperance Ticket has not a dozen
supporters in this part of the State.
Republicans look on it as a tail to the
Democratic organization, and have no
disposition to aid the enemy in that
way while the great majority of tem
perance men do not believe in the effi
ciency of a separate political organiza
tion in promoting their cause. The
ticket is just about as completely ig
nored as anything well could be.
MRS. CeuA BURLEIGH, of Brook,
lyn, is delivering: a lecture on ti Woman
hood," which is highly spoken of.
Without having any sympathy with the
object sought to be attained, we would
freely say that we do not believe a.
more graceful or accomplished lady
lecturer is in the field, or one whom it
would give an audience more pleasure to
hear on any subject she might choose,
than Mrs. Burleigh. "::i•''/&• '.,.

We notice that the radicals are running
representative men for tho State .Senate income
some of the districts. Their candidate in
the St. Cloud district is H. G. Wait, who
stands charged by Nelson Gray, esq., for
merly a radical county commissioner in this
county and Who' is still a radical, with
malfeasance in office whilst holding the
position of either receiver or register in
the St Cloud Land office, and who accord
ing to Mr. Qray's statement was removed
from said office on his.complaint.—Mankato
Review*
We have no hesitation in pronounc
ing the above wholly unfounded.
During his official term, Mr. Wait
made a capable and efficient Register,
giving good satisfaction to all who had
business to do with tho office, and, we
have reason to believe, meeting fully
the requirements of the Department.
His successor took the position only
after Mr. Wait had served his full term
of four years. The only capital of the
Democracy in the present campaign is
and misrepresentation, and the
above is a fair specimen. Let Mr.
Cray come forward with his proof, or
thu Review honorably retract.
Two amendments to tho State Con
stitution will be submitted to tho voters
of Miunesota at the coming election.
One is for wiping out Manomin county,
a mere garden patch, and attaching it
to Anoka county the other is for grant
ing authority to municipal corporations
to levy taxes for local improvements
upon the property immediately bene
fitted. Both amendments should be
passed. Thefirstamendment must he
on a separate ballot: "Amendment of
Article XI of the Constitution" (yes or
no, as desired tho second can be at
tached to the regular ticket, and should
read: "Amendment of Section One,
Article Nine of the Constitution,. (Yes

EDJTOR JquRiyUi.—There is a won
deiful olimatio change between tho air
ot tho mountain'regions hereabouts,
with their intoxicating draughts of
ratified air, cool and delicious as onq ot
"Old Napoleon's" punches, and the air
of tho Humboldt or Sacramento Vulleys,
with their reeking caloric. It is a pe
culiarity -of the whole Pacific slope
that ono may breathe in the morning
an air enervating in the extreme, and
onoe, by the slowest possible looonio
tion, bo whore thiok clothing, and at
this timo of year, firos night and morn
ing a*yndi peneaule, I have iust ex
.perionoed this at Mineral Hill, thirty
miles away, the newest "Eldorado" of
this immediate section of country I
will isay en passant that tho ores of
that region arc of surprising richness,
and that tho whole country immediately
adjacent "prospects" finely and bids
fair to develop, into a most important
mining region.
The Railroad Mining District was or
in June last, but being under
the oontrol ot a few persons, no effort
has been made since its organization to
create any exoitement or bring it to the
notice of the public. The district was
first formed for the purpose ot locating
and securing extensive deposits of rich
magnetic ores, but since the disoovery
of iron, extensive deposits of copper and
silver have recently bbsn found in the
district. The copper mines equal, if
not surpassi those of the Battle Moun
tain district. The silver mines are lo
cated on the same range ol mountains
as those of Mineral Hill, and are
ot the same* character of ore. The
tests made of tho copper show forty
four and a half per cont. of*eopper and
seventy:dollars per ton of silver,
lected specimens of tho copper Ore as
sayed as high as sixty per cent. Bail
road District seems to have been appro
priately named, having the line of the
railroad as one of its boundaries, and
being in close proximity to railroad
communication it must eventually be
of considerable importance.—
To go too high at once, however, is
just as bad, for invalids, as to remain in
valleys, an error committed by many
in quest of health, as the suddenness
of the change produces mountain fever
and pneumonia.
The Chinese question looms up and
almost absorbs any other, local or other
wise. Much is said and written, pro
and oon^ but the question, robbed of
superfluities, resolves itself into a strug
gle between capital and labor, coupled
with the rights of the States. I dis
claim any political bias in writing on
thia subject, but my predilections are
such as to cause me to be'ieve that the
States in such matters have rights, and
this Chinese question brings the mat
ter forcibly before us. The protection
and encouragement afforded by the
Burlingaiue treaty favor an increase
Of emigration, encouraged directly by
the general Government, while the
feeling of the laboring and a largo
percentage of the non-producing classes
is bitterly opposed to it. Now, to my
mind, the State of California, Nevada,
or any other has rights in matters of
this kind which should bo respected.
To illustrate: Isham G. Harris, of
Tennesso, has been presiding over a
Chinese labor convention I task the
question, Why Without answering^
but applying the seemingly impalatable
doctrine'Called StatesRights, the people
of California, and all the Pacific States
say ti the people of Tennessee, If you
want Coolies, we have nothing to say
to the contrary we do not and please
do not try to force them on us by any
species of legislation at Washington or
elsewhere Outside of the circle of
leading capitalists I beliovc I speak the
almost universal sentiment and give the
views of the people of this portion of
our Common country. Such influen
tial journals as tho Sacramento Union
Aha Califomiah and many others,
contend that they will develop the re
sources'of the State, our minos, &c,
increase tho agricultural area, and in
many ways be of the greatest good to
the 'greatest number. Is this so?
Partly«Who doubts the benefits of cheap
labor But who cannot see tho effect

living on twenty-five cents per day,

element—men with children to edu
cate and a respectable position to main

laboring classes,skilled or otherwise, is
now an enviable one as compared with
the.same classes in Europe simply bc

There are direct routes from Elko, Car
Hn and the Palisades to the mines.
Since the completion of the Central
Pacific Railroad complaints have been
frequent on the*part of Eastern inval
ids visiting the Pacific slope that they
have not mended for their visits. I
may do a service to state that unless
invalids repair at once, either to some
of the milder regions of the sea shore—
Santa Cruz or Monterey—or to the
mountains, and not then to too great an
altitude—-say five thousand feet above
tide water—all such had bettor not visit
the Pacific slope. This will hold good,
too, of any who are much enfeebled in
their physical powers, since all such are
in just tho coudition that makes the
process of acclimating dangerous. The
autumnal climate of all this country is
simply delicious, (if one may uso thepass
expression,) while the valley climate
of the winter months presents a wealth
of enjoyment, a paradise of climate, be
yond belief. This, in short, is a climate
in which youth, renews itself safe to all.
in vigorous health, yet dangerous to all
others, except -at certain seasons. To
any or all who become acclimated the
climate of tho whole coast presents a
degree of health, ejOmfort and creature
enjoyment no iwhere else to bo found.

THOUGHTS PO E UPJEUANCE MEV.
Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler has written
an excellent letter to the New York In
dependent, on the subject of prohibi
tion and a Temperance Party, from
which we take the following paragraphs,
3|V commending them to the attention or
the friends of temperance in this State
It is not a very pleasant occupation
to be digging down in mire and mud to
lay foundation-stones for a needle edi
fice. It costs toil and time, and back
aches. A far more exhileratiog work
is it to put up ornamental cornices and
lofty towers—to bring the topmost stone
"with shoutings." But without a solid
foundatiob, where is your superstruct
ure
Many of our zealous temperance
brethren are in danger of this very
blunder. They earnestly long for pro
hibitory legislation but do almost
nothing to create the temperance public
sentiment. They want prohibitory
laws but they do nothing to make the
votes which must enact the laws. They
clamor tor a political "temperance
party but they forget that successful
parties are made up of men converted
to amoral idea. So, when you urge
them to call meetings, and to organize
local societies, and to circulate tracts,
and procure total abstinence pledges,
and to spread abroad solid temperance
truth, and to educate the ohildrcn, and
to open their purses and pay the bills
of all these needful efforts, they sneor
ingly reply "Phsaw we got out of
that slough of moral suasion ten years
ago!" It suits these brethren a great
deal better to hold conventions and to
good strong resolutions against
rumshops, and to organize new parties
on paper. For a dozen years the state
temperance conventions in New York
have been passing resolutions for "total
prohibition and nothing less" but we
arc no nearer to a wholesome prohibito
ry law for all their paper manifestoes.
Brethren I, for one, am as heartily in
favor of shutting up the rum-dens by
law as Neal Dow or Gerritt Smith can
bp yot I am convinced that we must
change our tactics, or we shall never
secure prohibitory legislation^—or en
force it.
Now, brethren and eo-workers, these
be plain truths and worth your consid
eration. If the coming years are to be
spent in holding conventions and pass
ing empty resolutions against grog
shops, without doing anything at home
to convert people against grog-drink
ing if any more "third party" fooleries
like that in Maine are to be enacted as
the settled policy of the temperance re
form, then I, lor one, must be counted
out of any national prohibitory party.
Other people may build castles up in
the air, if they admire such architec
ture. I prefer, in my humble way, to
dig in the mud on the foundations of a
permanent, reform. I prefer to use
pulpit, pew, purse, and tongue to con
vert people to total abstinence. When
they are thus converted, they are saved
from drjnkenness thev will oppose
drinking customs they will never give
a penny to support the accursed liquor
traffic they wilt be likely to vote
against the advocates of rum selling for
office. When men's minds are enlight
ened, and their consciences are aroused
to veto against legalizing dram-shops,
wo shall have such legislation, and not
.before. For the present, let us dig
deep iu the public conscience and lay
foundations. A mighty educational
work is to be done, and at once. It
must bo done too on a solid pecuniary
basis.

Bonner, under date of October 13th
