to the reprohat;on of. all patriotism q con.
spirators against Liberty by their violation
Of it's sacred ark-the ballot-box
What does all that mean? Mr.. Lynd
has subsided. Although challenged on every
hand to mention n.meo or give . single fact
in relation 10 his charges, he declines.
Governor German backs down from his
senseless assertions. The " "Chatfield frauds
after full examination before bitter part,
zan Republican judge, were decided to be
myths" the real frauds being committed
BY certain Republican office holders, who, in
order to keep Their offices, refused to per-
form their sworn duty. Gov. Ramsey iu
declining to contest Gov. Sibley's election.
or to publish any proof on the subject, has
given the effsctuel lie to all these statements
about bogus" Governor, and bogus Legis-
'ature, the A'nne'otian habi,nally indulges
in. No proof has ever been offered. Nei.
ther has an attempt been made to offer any
proof on, these subjects What is this

tration; some Of which are true and others
ridiculous in every way. The Democracy
Of Minnesota has long since been absolyed
from any allegiance to that Administration
which has violated almost every democratic
principle. and has sought in every manner to
injure and defsat them They join heartily
in the condemnation Of it, whenever thev
can truthfally do so and do not feel par.
ticularly bound to vindicate it, from even
false charges. .-
Resolved second, That the present State
Organization is one based upon frauds, and
IS therefore bogus that the Governor. and
Auditor Of State in receiving stocks rs q
basis of Bank Circulation without market
value, have violated the plain letter of the
law, forfeited public confidence and contri.
oated largely to our pecuniary embarrass.
ments-taat the Democratic party has crea.
te9 contingent fund for the benefit Of State
omcers' thereby stealing the Peoples money,
and that by their general mismanagement oi
cur State affairs they have shown them
selves not only unworthy of confidence, but
have manifested their incapacity to admin
lister the State Government.
Aportion Of this statement we have dis.
posed Of above. The value Of the stocks re.
Ice:ved by the Governor and Auditor, was
arrived at IN the manner prescribed by law,
to wit: by the oaths Of the bank officials
who offered them: These banks are al
owned BY prominent Republican leader..-
It was on their oaths, that the bonds Of the
railroad companies, guaranteed by the State
Of Minnesota, were accepted. As for the
evils which have resulted. they can be as
|cribed TO no party measure whatever, and
are much magnified. We have known Of
no person whoever, that has lost ANYTHING
BY it, and the bills are now out Of circula-
ton, and in the hands Of the parties who
issued them. rs ;+tl"tt ..-H
The next charge is that the Democratic
party have practiced gloss abuses, and viola.
ted that clause Of our constitution which
extends the elective franchise to Indians
who have adopted he habits of white men.
This Is entirely baselsss and false.
It. winds up with the following vague,
selfcontradictory and hyp,critical resolution
upon the subject Of the State .kailroad
Bonds: .t1 II. 4-.....r l.-7 .tt a,,5
Resolved fifth, That however mon may
have originally differed upon the adoption
Of the Five Million Loan policy, we all unite
in determination to preserve the plighted
faith Of the State from the stain Of kepulia-
ton, by meeting oil our obligations to the
entire extent Of our honest Indebtedness :;
that in regard to the question Of the taxa
ton Of the people to pay the interest on the
State Railroad Bonds, We hold that the
Constitutional Amendment itself points out
the mole by which that interest shall be
met, tharwe will faithfully carry out and
ABIDE by that amendment, and shall hold
the Railroad Companies to q; rict compli-
ance Herewith and that We shall oppuse
|all further legislation upon the subject until
default and forfeiture shalt have been made
IN the part Of the Companies.
This scarcely touches the issue now pre-.
sented to the people. ."The faith and credit
Of this State" :" for the payment Of the in
terest and the redemption Of the principal
Of the State Railroad Bonds, was pledged
in the Constitutional Amendment spoken Of
The Ra,lroad Companies have, IS yet made
no default or forfeiture upon these bonds.
Indeed, the great bulk Of them are still un:
der their control. in consequence Of. their
being unable to find market !or them
And for which reason, the work on the roads
is at presen, discontinued. Tn. question
is, shall we did the Companies BY providing
for : tax to meet the interest, in case The
Railroad shall make default according 10
lagreement-or shall We in effect renueliata
