The Forty Thieves In Town.

We understand the Wisconsin Forty
Thieves of Railroad notoriety, are all in town
-Kneeland, Hadley, Wells, and so on. There
has been conference between them and the
Democratic leaders; and the Forty have con-
cluded to fork over some funds to ensure the
success of the Democratic ticket-their idea
being, that if the Democracy retain power,
they will next winter, make the Bonds they
hold valuable at the expense of the people of
Minnesota.
They say, that at all events, BRIsBIN must
be elected Attorney Generate is their only
salvation from being held up to their bargain
to build the Roads and pay the interest on
the Bonds without taxation of the people.
We hear that Brisbin has also been chosen
Attorney for the Cedar Valley Railroad Com
pany or that the arrangements for his occu-
plying that position after the election, are al.
ready made!
If Brisbin is elected the Attorney General
of the State: and then being Attorney for the
Minnesota & Pacific R. R. Co., and also At
torney for the Cedar Valley R. R. Co., he will
have nice pickings, as lawyer for all sides; all
of which said pickings, be it remembered, will
be leeced off the taxpayers of the State.
Go it We cripples,-your time is short. All
the funds and all the recklessness of all the
Railroad Thieves in both Minnesota aod Wis
consin cannot save Democracy this time from
an overwhelming defeat.

The Louisville Courier calls the Indiana
Democrats the "model Democrats" of the
Union. They have earned their title to this
distinction by elecsng two United States Sen
ators by fraud and by breaking up the Com
mon Schools Of that State.
The man agent in the preparation OF
those frauds, was one Gov. Willard, who is
now in Minnesota to help our Democracy of
fraud to perpetuate their ill-gotten power
Willard, besides his gross personal habits, is
known to be one of the most reckless politi-
clans in the Union; as man destitute alike
of principle, vers.city or honesty. His only
attribute that gives him any force is some
speaking talent, which nature gave to him,
and which even his personal habits and moral
degradation cannot utterly destroy. But in all
else, he is man for whom no one can enter
tain any respect for his moral or manly quail
ties-abusing as he does, the gifts of nature
continually to defend fraud, to propagate bad
principles and to deludc by the most bare
faced falsehoods, coined often out of the whole
cloth, ignorant or uniformed hearers! VI
all the speakers the Democracy have as yet
introdu ced into this Campaign in Minnesota,
this Blu chanan Democrat is the one of the least
character, both as an individual and politi-
cian-which is saying great deal when we
recoiect that Cavanaugh is one of their can
didates and speakers!

The Democratic Meeting at Concert
Hall.

The Democratic Meeting at Concert
Hall.
This meeting on Monday evening was
pretty large one, the Republicans as well as
Democrats having been attracted thereto by
the bepuffed fame of Gov. Willard of India
ma, as "big gum and superlative stump
speaker!
The orator, on being introduced, commenced
by removing his stock, and then his coat =
which "P-o-s-y County, I-n-d-i-a-n-y"
airs, gave the audience the first inkling of the
immense fizzle in the way of public speaking
which Immediately followed.
A more complete failure has never before
occurred in st. Paul Gov. German, Mr..
Gilman, ant twenty others, are evidently his
superiors and even his evident and gross
drunkenness can hardly account for such an
immense falling Oft, where so much was ex-
pected
The truth is, this fellow, Willard, is known
as grand scamp; whose normal condition is
administration and whom decent men
avoid for his utter moral and political lep-
rosy.
Such an orator and such a man may do for
Governor of the Posey county Egyptians of
of Indiana, where ignorance is such bliss that
no one ever commits the folly of attempting
by reading Or writing to become wise but it
is an insult to Minnesota audience to intro
duce him here to enlghten a Minnesota conf
munity
The burden of his speech was, the neces-
sity of protecting the niger" institutions
of the South-with slurs upon brave, intelli-
gent and religious New England-and impu-
tations against the Republican party as favor
ing amalgamation," while, he intmated that
democrats never intermingled their blood
with inferior races"-a point which amused
the audience not little, seeing that Mr. Sib-
ley sat on the same platform with the speak
err
Everybody before knew Willard to be low
fellow-to this offence it is now apparent he
adds the crimes of stupidity and utter want
of tact

Hon. j. HI. Baker at Home.

HARDEN ClTf, sept. ~.
On Tuesday evening last, Hon. j. H. Baker
addressed the people at this place on the po
litical questions of the day.
1t was the largest political meeting ever
held in this county outside of Mankato,
though we had but one days notice of his
coming. For two hours the people listened
to his mastery expose of the corruption which
has attended the administration of our State
affairs. He 1ayed the lying Pioneer without
mercy.
Mr.. Baker is general favorite here with his
neighbors, who know him to be an honest and
true man in all the relations of life; and the
charges against him in the Pioneer only pro-
duce disgust. His neighbors, who have been
lifelong Democrats will vote for him and the
Republican ticket this fall.
1t is significant fact that no Democratic
speaker, who has spsken in this place, has
ventured to assail the character of Mr.. Baker
in the presence of his own neighbors.
Democracy is in bad repute in Blue Earth
County, and the people say, "let US have a
change
The home of Baker will 90 Republican
three to one, and we are ready for the battle
on the Eleventh of October, when the advo-
Gates of taxation for the benefit of the Rail-
road companies will be put to route.
Yours, &c. j.
