WV e""'''' ~'o S<1s' XVI llcUIotliIlIC tOu-
ve"tion for Goodhue county, for the selection
o! delegates for the State Convention at St.
| Paul. We trust there will be a full attend
ance iro'a each township, to ensure the Sc.
lection 9! abe delegates to mind the proper
advocacy Of the interests of The Goojhue
! Democracy in that convention. Goodhuc
has decided preferences among the names sug~
ges' ed as nominees for our State Ticket
and it will be necessary for our SUCCESS here
as well as in the State, that those preferences
should, in some degree, be consulted. We
need strong ticket. The condition Of the
State is leporable, and there will be srca,
effort made to make our party responsible
for ali the difficulties which it labors under
10 be sure, they are the direct result Of the
extraordinary and unprecedented financial
embarrassment which has overwhelmed the
whole country, increased immensely by the
;lnwise and IN afG spirit OF speculation seen
vn every ham! and this all had no connection
with politics. Every rejecting. unprecedented
sl.an can sec this and will doubtless give it
It's proper weight. Our State officers have
done what they supposed was for the best,
to carry us through these difficulties, and it
is difficult, impossible for us to see how it
could have been better donc-how hard
times and high taxes could have been made
easy. But it all furnishes the strongest OF
reasons for rcdouble;l care, skill and viSi
lance ia the management Of our State affairs
hereafter, and makes the nomination Of a
strong ticket, composed Of reliable: able men,,
men Of character, who will make the into
rest and welfare Of the State their sole into
rest-of vital Importance. Men Of spread
eagle qualitics-of gas and verbiagc, must be
! rejected, and skil'ful, practical honest men
selected.
This State is o~errun with cliques and
harp,cs, in both parties, whose only object is
to live and grow fat upon the public treasu-
ry, and whose interest it is 10 plumber that
treasury as fast as possible. They have too
| much influence, throus Il the press and
ihvoush caucuses and conventions, They
Tide their parties, while the majority of the
voters although conscious of the fact, are
unable to dismount them. Seeing the same
difficulty in both parties, they have treated
It as sort Of necessity, and voted their party
t'cket--perhaps as choice Of evils

car, set We can, with confidence, leave this
assertion to be corroborated by the intell-
gent voters Of that party. We know, from
expressions we hear daily from the .1'!,--not
tie 'ank-of that party, that they ttt1 it is
so, and would gladly be relieved.
! We can say then with confidence that the
success Of our party depends almost entirely
upon the selection ola ticket of able, rcla-
bic, honest, working men,. These windy
politicians are not going to answer the pur-
pose. The people have had too many, and
have too many recent examples before them.
In the case Of our neighbors in Wisconsin
The State governm mt, for the last few years
! under Democratic management was bad
enough. We admit it was corrupt and rot
ten. The. Democratic voters were honest
and intelligent as ever, but CLIQUE was
sadd!ed upon them, and they could only, as
they supposed, be relieved By change o.
party management. The Republicans were
accordingly successful at the next election
CARRYING their State officers by a large mi.
jority, and the legislature. But how did i,
turn out? 1t proved that the Republicans
were worse off than the Democrats : thai
lo5by-men and plundercrs had tho entire
control. All tho State officers including
the Governor, and every member of the
State Legislature, then elected, were provo,
to have been blibed by a swindIing railroad
company. The people were plundcrcd ten
fold more, and to-day Wisconsin, with pop.
ulation four times as great. and an assess.
ment roll ten times as long as that Of Min
nesota, pays 80 per cent. more taxes on the
dollar than VIC do. We uso this to show
:, what may b the object Of the Republican,
harpies II this State, who are now howlino
so loud for change. We do not think that
there has been any great corruption in The
:, manascment'of our railroads, al.ho, nh !;
might make party capital to "a; 50 as AZ
IN Wisconsin, our railroad, arc mostly :,
the hands Of Republicans. So this ono fac
IS established conclusively. The principle:
! ot party may DO ever 50 pure anc
sound, but they never can be made to work
efficiently and beneficially, unless honest
! conscientious men are elected to carry then
cut; and with honest and experienced mer
, at the helm, every one will feel confiden
that the government viii! bo we'll managed
From the St. Paul Times.
