MEEKER COUNTY.

The returns from this county takes us
all by surprise. This county has been
largely Republican; and when the Repub-
licans and Democrats of the district a.
greed to unite upon ticket, the calcula-
ton was that Benton and Meeker being
both Republican, would make up for the
Moccasin majority which was regarded as
inevitable in stearns County. Well, Dem
ocratic Stearns County gives large ma
jority for Freedom, and Meeker is going
back into the Moccasin ranks! H..
We would remind the friends of human
liberty in that county that we have not
had one Subscriber in their county until
about one month ago, although the Demo
crat is the only paper published in the dis
trict; and they knew it was fighting Free
dom's battle against fearful odds!
It is no matter how many better papers
are taken, the local press cannot well be
dispensed with There can be no doubt
that to the interest felt in maintaining the
freedom Of the local press, is mainly attrib-
utable the result of the election in this
county. From any active participation in
its success, the Republicans Of Meeker Go
have stood aloof; and left it to the Demo-
Gratis Of this hitherto proslavery county to
maintain the cause Of freedom at the bal
lot box.
Again We invite those Republicans whoare
opposed to the spread and perpetuation Of
Slavery and in favor Of free Speech, free
Soil and free Men to come up and unite
with the Stearns County democracy.

State Road Meeting.

ALEXANDRIA, Douglas Co., Oct. L IS
1T u o'clock, the town resolved itself
into public meeting by elccting William
Kinkead President, and Charles Cook
Vice Pres.
Upon taking the chair, the President
stated the object Of the mccting,-to con-
slider What measures were cxpel:ent
towards furthering the opening aud
con. 1letion Of the State Read. which con-
meets Alexandria on the one side with St.
Cloud and on the other with breckenridge.
Being conversant with the whole line Of
the road, he further stated -
At present the road was already travel
ed from this place to the Red River Of
the North; it needed yet, SIX miles Of
timber to cut through, which added to
seventy miles Of prairie, diversified with
groves,to make the road passable from Sa,aS
Centre. It being then a we'll travelled
road to where the line enters the big woods
Oil the east, It needs then, but those twcn-
tY miles q timber to be cut through, 10
open the entire route to travel
The chair appointed VIM. 7. Mason
Secretary OF the meeting. After a liberal
expression Of opinion from all sides, it
was moved and seconded, that the p,es:-
dent appoint committee Of three to draft
preamble and resolutions expressive OF
the sense OF the meeting, which motion
was unanimously adopted. The President
appointed II. L. Barnes, John Bail an<!
Jos. a. James. Upon said committee
reporting, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were jdnanimously adopted -'
| Whereas, spirit has heen manifested
in various places along the line Of the
State Road from St. Cloud to Brccilin-
ridge, in favor Of the speedy opening OF
said road for tho purpose Of travel, and
benefit to the rich country through which
1t passes, and whereas. the said State
Road has been by the efforts and improve.
ments Of the people living at Alexandria
and Breckinridge, cut out through the
timber, and improved in the portions
which call their immediate attention De-
tween Alexandria and kreckinriGge, cen
sisting Of six miles of timber, and the
remainder prairie, so: that it is now
travelled throughout by teams without
inconvenience; therefore # e.
Resozned, That having co-onerated
with our friends from Breckinrde Ill
opening the State Road through the TIM
Der, lying west from Alexandria, we now
pledge ourselves to assist and lend onr
aid TO our friends of ST.. Cloud. and inter
mediate places, in cutting the timber OF
the road between us and that place, SC
soon as they think proper to notify lis
that they are prepared to cooperate with
us.
Resolved, That a copy Of tho proceed
ings Of this meeting be forwarded to the
St. Cloud Democrat for publication.
On motion Of Mr.. Bali, the meeting
then adjourned amid much enthusiasm.

Our Majority.

Last fall St. Cloud gave over one hundred
majority, and the district 272 for Sibley,
although Gov. Ramsey canvassed in per-
sen and is personally very popular. This
year tbd opposition have one majority on
the aggregate legislative vote, and have
28l maj Drity in the District, making a
difference Of 553 votes, although there
has been so large an Irish emigration into
~Aeeker County that her last years Re-
publican majority Of one hundred is rcdu-
ccd to fourteen.
We expect to do better next year.

Printing,

When the St. Cloud Printing Co. trans
fered the Press to us, we found the office
under a weekly expense which, however it
might have suited company Of capital
lists, would never do for us. We could
not get printer to do the work for what
we thought we could honestly pay; and
were afraid to bring girls from the East
least we could not provide for and protect
them.
Once, in the Iron City the printers all
struck. We resolved to employ girls; and
in order that we might get such as would
be able to maintain their places in large
establishment, we set the example Of going
to case where we worked two weeks until
the men in the various rooms were famil-
lar with the sight of women in the domin-
ions hitherto exclusively occupied by the
other sex.
In this two weeks we learned all we
could Of the art Of printing; and although
we had forgotten where to find any letter
in the case and even what side of the
stick to begin at, we took one raw appren-
tice and went to work as a ''Boss Printer" !"
We soon got a second boy who had, some
time before, worked three months in au
office. @.. >,.2 %~.s. H.
With these we have been getting out
our paper since the middle Of July.
we had never taken any particular no.
,tice of the manner: Of making up form;
and made up our first one all wrong side
foremost; but it was proud day when
we found it would lift Our mistakes
and perple4ities have been past count;
but = good fellow, Caleb West, who has
forsaken the business, helped MS always
when we were fairly nonplussed.
This e4plamtiop is necessary to &C
count for the very imperfect manner in
which our printing has been done; and
now these election returns, we have set
up the tables without ii G any instruction, and
without any knowledge Of how they
ought to be done. We can only hope
they are Ineligible; and if the common
reader can understand them We trust our
brother typos will not be. critical, even

ELECTION RETURNS or MEEKER
COUNTY OCT. 1868
Little Falls Election.

There were three tickets in the field at
Little Falls, Morrison County. Il peo-
pies Ticket, Moccasin Ticket and Re-
publican Ticket. The Peoples Ticket was
nominated too late to make mnch cxert;on
in its behalf We did not receive the or
der for printing the tickets until the Sat-
urday morning preceding the election.-
There was no mail BY which they could
reach Little Falls before the morning Of
the election; but by using dispatch ir prin-
ting we got them started by private con-
vcyance, SO that they could arrive On Sat-
urday night.
The Ticket was headed by J. @. Simmons
for Senator, the gentleman whose store
was robbed short time ago, the second
night after he refused credit to Leading
Moccasin who "swore terribly" not in
"Flanders" but in Little Falls, that lie
would have revenge and teach him a les
son. Levi Wheeler, ran for Representa-
tive, zathan Richardson, Register Of
Deeds, G. B. Johnston, Judge of Probate,
G. A. Freeman, County Auditor and
Miles Brown, Sheriff:
The Moccasin tribe made dead set at
Brown, cx-Judge Hall taking the stump
against him in person; and trying to de-
feat him on the ground that he was a
stockholder in the st. Cloud Press; and
must perforce be a Republican Mr..
Brown is elected; and he alone on his
ticket
The Moccasins carried every other Off
ce. We beg leave to suggest to the other
candidates on that and the Republican
tickets that it mi ght have been well had
all takcnstock in the St. Cloud Press.
Miles Brown is an old Democrat from
Berks County, Penna., was living in St.
Cloud at thetino our press was destroy
ed, was one Of the men to whom we ap-
pealed for personal protection before 60
ing out, publicly, to brand the perpetra-
tors Of that midnight crime. He came
to the Stearns House meeting armed; and
stood by our brother-in-law, II. q.
Mitchell also armed with revolvers, at
the principal entrance to the parlors, in
which We spoke, while Lowry and his
assistant rowdies had possession of the
hall. >.""~ *~ .'.>
Miles had the reputation of giving ire
mendously hard knocks; and we have no
doubt his presence aided greatly in pre-
venting the Generals carrying out the
programme he had laid down for him
self and making the attempt to put us
in the river, after the type.
Mr.. Brown was also active in the sue
cessful effort made by the citizens to re-
place our lost material; and he and j. G..
Fowler were the two Democrats appoint
ed on the executive committee with three
Republicans

A Convert.

We announced, last week, that we wan-
ted to convert the Republicans Of this lis
trict, and make them democrats. Well,
as 1lr " ood' last evening L Gorton, the late
Legislative, Republican Candidate, came
out and proclaimed himself a Free De-.o-
crat. Like ouc<self he belonged to that
party III the East lie apostatized and u
nited with the Republicans, and now he is
back i'll the fold again. We welcome him;
aud arc laboring earnestly for the conver-
sion of his late party, especially for that
OF Steplen Miller Esqr, the chairman of
the L. D. Com. lie is not yet under
conviction; but We intend to labo1
and wait. We cannot be satisfied
to have our friends in a party that
agrees to tax the women Of the free states
to keep qp an army for protecting set OF
swaggerif fg bulljes and whining saints in
their right to whip women. steal babies
and extor5 the labor Of poor men without
wages.
A set Of fellows who play gentleman
scorn to do any kind Of work, and tak>
the wages Of chanbernsaids, cooks, wash
erwomen, and nurses with which to sup
ply themselves in fast horses, have NJ
right to b., recognised as American citi
zens and to claim equality with homes
men. The Republicans, as we'll as tho
Motcasins, recognise our southern bullie:
as equals and so we must labor for thei
conversion; and try to teach them some
self-respect

ReioiCings.

The Democrats are still a little wild
with exultation at their victory. They
have had bon fires, speeches and suppers,
burnt gunpowder, and shouted themselves
hoarse. They and the Republicans are
everywhere meeting with warm hand
clasps mutual pledges, that what they have
done wcN this time shall be better. done
again; and the Moccasin rule shall neve be
Ie-established in this district
On the evening of the 10Th. Mr. Wood
gave party to those in this part of the
District who had taken an active part in
the canvass.
The spacious parlors were crowded with
ladies' and gentlemen; and after the COM
pany had spent a couple Of hours in mu-
tual congratulations and pleasant conversa-
ton; and done full justice to supper
which would have reflected honor upon a
first class Eastern Hotel, we had short
speeches from Messrs Wood, Nc, ,Clure
and Clark, the elect present; and from
Messrs Miller, Wait, Gorton, Mitchell
and Cornell, prominent laborers in the
canvass.
alr. Wood produced great merriment
by describing the embarkation and voyage
OF the Moccasins up Salt River, in birch
bark canoes; and Mr. Miller brought. down
the house with his fund OF humor
All the speeches, were Anti-Slavery; ex-
cept that Of Mr.. Cornell, who is Buchan-
an man, although most active labore1
in favor of the true Democracy; and
We were highly gratifed to see politi
clans uniting with their wives in drinking
coffee; and eating chicken salad, and xo
turning thanks for the triumph Of trutE
and right; and in uttering noble words il
favor Of human freedom by way of cele
brating political victory.
It is something Of an improvement ol
the old doggcry .joliGcaticns,' on the pub
lie sentiment which justified mans be
coming noisy, vulgar and drunk in homo
Of a ballot-box victory.
It confirms the opinion we have lon:
held, viz: that when women interest them
selves in politics, instead of descending t.
the level of a politician as this word ha
been understood, they will, perforce, ele
vote the politician to their own standard.
1t is impossible that this nation coul'
be governed by little cliques of brawlin;
pot-house politicians, if the women tool
an earnest interest in State affairs.
