It needs no elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Mime
sotidn 1t is q paper that is REPUBLICAN in all its
phases and it claims to possess in opposition to Slave
nv everywhere, and in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stifest and most erect of spinal columns Tere is
not the least particle OF dough about its face; pa
biity in the of its principles Its conductors
have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny
over the bodies and minds of and they hesitate
not to give their sentiments voice through their press
all fit occasions.
But we wantit distinctly understood however, that
the nnesotidn is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization, steadily adhered to and presevered
in is the only hope of the country to ensure the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Despotsm
and Democracy We are in favor of strict discipline in
our ranks We want people, like the Highlanders,
to stand shoulder to shoulder nvincbe in their
ness of action in the sacred truth of their cause
We don't want bush.fghting, nor any man hopping
about amongst the trees thinking with his little shot
gun he win the battle of freedom his own hook
We have had enough of this folly; and it is quite time
every Republican had learned in this respect, wisdom
from the past. The militia of 1916 obtained an
sonal success and at the commencement of the revo
luton our fathers were all militia but they found
that in long fight and with regulars on the other sde
they must regular soldiers too; and everybody has
read how was the disciplined forces of the patrols
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through an eight years into independence and
ognzed nationality Our forces must be disciplined too,
If we intend to VIM This battle for freedom, like the
contest for liberty they engaged in is also long fight
The Save-power has exclusively ruled this country for
more than quarter of century. 1t will not yield
possession of any post of vantage it now holds from
its citadel the Supreme Court of the United States
down the smallest posmastershp, without protrac
ted and struggle. Every man of the Republican
party therefore, desires its principles to succeed
must enlist for the war and be Jealous for thorough
ganizaton and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the MinmesOtddn i'm
plicitly that it will for light rihng causes of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, or even side issues
which are not minor but not yet practicable, finch
from sustaining witt, oil its might those who rally I'M
DER or who bear forward the regular standards Of the
Party, will it encourage by quiet oleration
others disturbing compact rmness and efficiency
standing by the platforms adopted by Republican State
and National Conventions, and in supporting only and
all the time the regular nominations made fairly upon
their p,a forms. We believe in sacrifice for the time
being, pending battle at the polls, OF individual no.
tons and individual preferences and individual Claims
upon the altar of the recognized principles Of
Republcanism to victory over the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have surren
dered every free principle underlying its foundation to
southern dietaton for the spois of Office and the plum
der the treasury. We believe the soldiers of free
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks, to maun-
derpg after speculative theories of their however
absolutely their theories may be-each following
his own off upon impracticable tangents neglect
ing the chances meanwhile of eectng great substantial
and acknowledged good in the search after present
unattanabe perecon-the contest Of freedom will be
indeed bequeathed to our Children will be
won in that way by to the end of pilgrimage
this EARTH Union-disciplinc- organization-action-
these the watchwords of in political parties
as in armies and paper, the Nnnesotian, will Ia
Dor to have them adopted in practice as the watch
words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper the next principal fea
ture of the WEEKLY MNSEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in the State
Legislature and in the publication of the latest inte
first and foremost.
The DEVELOPMENT of the MATERIAL WEALTH
of MINNESOTA, the EXPOSITION of its RESOURCES,
and the DESCRIPTION of its GEOGRAPHY and TO-
BIOGRAPHY, will be another main feature of the Mn
mesodns columns. In accordance with its distinctive
name, is earnest desire to make it truly MIN
NESOTA PAPER, devoted especially to the welware
and prosperity of our State.
Nor will LITERATURE and General MISCELLANY
be neglected; and FARMERS may rely on receiving in
formation through columns from time to time, cal
cuated to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
CULTURAL CAPACITY OF Minnesota.
These are some of the points upon which we ask pub
licpatronage for the Weekly Mnnesotian If you like
principles and bill of fare please step up to the
Captains Office and SETTLE in person by letter, adj
