THE LETTER FROM REEMELIN ON
'@3' = THE OHIO SWiNDLttR.

II. The letter from Hon. Charles Reemelin,
to Republican Of Red Wing, has created
considerable sensation in Republican circles.
1t has removed whatever doubts the hon
est and candid portion Of that party may
have entertained, as to Bakers guilt. MI.
Reemelin has been active as Republican
since the organization Of that party. . He
attended the Pittsburgh Convention of Feb-
raary, 1856, and took a prominent part in
laying down the basis of the Republican or
ganization he was an able advocate of Ere
mont's election has been an unwayering
supporter Of Gov. Chase, Of Ohio and up
to the hour Of his (2EEMEL1N's) appoint
ment as Trustee Of the Ohio Life Insurance
s. Trust Company, in February of the pres
ent year, he held a, lucrative and RESPONSE
BILE appointment at the hands of Gov. Chase.
But Mr.. Reemclin will not permit his sym
pathies as Republican, to overmaster his
duty as citizen; and, as consequence, he
has been active as u member of the
Ohio Investigating Committee, in ferre.ing
out Bakers scoundrelisln In his language.
Baker was regarded as venal and corrupt
by all with whom he came in contact" -
The letter of Mr.. Reemelin was written
in response to the interrogatories of Orrin
Densmore. Esq, the Republican Probate
Judge Of Goodhue county. Mr.. )Densno.e,
suppressed the letter, but copies Of the COR
respondence were procured from Ohio. The
nice sense Of honor whish ac;,ated Dens
more, we trust, will be appreciated by the
people Of Goodhue county. Had Mr.. Rem.
elin's answer, exculpated BAKER. it would
have been expressedito every portion of the
State, within 48 hours after its receipt. But
as it proved and substantiated every charge,
we have NADIA against the infamous scoun-
dlcl, the Judge of Probate of Gocdhue coun-
ty, concluded to suppress it. He became,
BY so doing, on accessory after the act. = 81,

connection with the indiana of Minnesota.

of dollars. This fully appears in the record
ofthe proceedings Of Congress.
Now then putting all these facts togethe,
fellow citizens, is Gov. Ramsey entitled

set forth. No person can pretend that the,

NEWSPAPER DEcrs1oN.-The Superior
Court OF Indiana has made decision which
has an important bearing upon the interests
Of the newspaper press A controversy
exists relative to charge for advertising
between the Commissioners Of Hamilton

held by the Judge that " the published terms

work is given to newspaper publishers,
without,a special contrart eontrsvening the
published terms, the publisher can charge

1t is not necessary to prove what the work

DISlNTEREsrED KlNDN Ess.

1t also appears somewhat strange that
Mr.. Martin should appeal to the Republi-
cans OF the county through an organ Of the
opposition, when the columns of a journal
which probably circulates twenty times as
Extensively among that class of voters to
which his appeal is directed, was equally at
his serbice,-a fact, too, with which he was
well acquainted.-Goodhue To. Republican.
The Republican, proves its disinterested-
ness, in the same number, by publishing Mr.
Martins announcement as an adv rtisene1at
This insult TO Mr. Martin, shows conclu-
sivcly with what a friendly spirit that shee,
was actuated, and ho~ kindly it would have
been at his service. ..,-...~ --....,.
Mr.. Martin unwillingly came forward as
an independent candidate, at the unanimous
request of the Republicans Of his district,
and because he deemed it Ills duty, and that
of the independent Republican voters, thus
to rebuke the greatest political iniquity that
has ever been enacted in Minnesota. L..,
The Republican, in its fricudNness, pub.
fishes column leader, devoted exclusively
to maligning and falsifying Mr.. Martins po-
)sition and sentiments, with an attempt to
plaster up, and smooth over, the proceedings
Of the Convention, which il has, however,
to admit, was controlled by Improper in
fuences,' and then begs its readers not tc
hazard a U. S. Senator for such trivial
matter. No! Republicans must swallow
a ticket conceived and brought forth in the
foulest inquity, and candidates who are in
every way unfit and unqualified for the sew
eral 0ttices-sone Of them, in fact, like
Mr.. Garard, Of doubtful political principles
"a Democrat until the last year-because
some other interests may be jeopardized.-
The Convention should have had that in
view in making its nominatioas-should
have considered that the election of Sena-
tor made it all the more necessary to nomi-
nate good men, and not have acted as it
did-upon the presumption that the party
would support onybody-rather than run the
risk Of losing United States Senator. -'.1s
But Of one thing the Republicans may
rest assured, they cannot in ony eyt,,t elect
a Senotor, because the State Senate is al
ready Democratic-at sufficient majority OF
Democratic Senators holding over to insure
that fact. -. 49,. a., -, 'r...-..-j

DEMOCRATS! Re ON YOUR GU ARD,

DEMOCRATS! Re ON YOUR GU ARD!
We have received reliable information that
the Republicans contemplate carrying out a
great system of frauds, all through South
ern Minnesota, aud especially through the
south part Of Goodhue county, and in 9TH
localities, where they may have simila:
facilities. The scheme is with regard to
this county, to run loads Of voters, be-
tween Mazeppa in Wabashaw, and Bclyi-
dere. Zumbrota, Cherry grove and Kenyon
voting them in all those precincts. iniEi
This was the same scheme carried out by
the Republicans in 1857, by which the vote
Of this county was increased over three
hundred over the actual number of residents
then in the county-saying nothing about
the fact that large number of actual resi-
dents did not vote at all. One instance will
be rscollected, when prominent citizen Of
Zumbrota took load Of strangers from. this
place and voted them at Eastcrly's and at
Zu1nbrota after they had voted here The
righteous among the Republicans arc seduced
into this scheme, on the pretended plea that
the Democrats will carry out similar fra:ds
in the North, and it will be necessary to
counterba'anee them in this way. Oh hon.
est Republicans.
The Republicans are now pretending that
they will carry Zumbrota by one hundred
and fifty majority, and Bclviderc, Cherry
Grove &C., by vote in the same pro-
Dortion-preparins the public mind for q
large vote in these precincts-while tho &C.
tual residents Of Zumbrota never have and
do not now number sevenly-fve. There is
not that number to be found on the road su-
pervisors' list.
They also boast as they did in 1857, that
they have q fund Of $50, 900, raised in the
east as it was at that time, to carry the
present election. a9Gg rs ... s.rf 7sf

THE GOoDHUE COUNTY FRAUDS
= r. a't1@ OF 1857. 5sl1a.a4tG g f''


We have made mention in another col
umn Of the plans now entertained by thu
Republicans, Of re-enacting the frauds o
1857. in this county, and all through South
ern Minnesota. OF this we have informa
ton from one of our most reliable citizens
who is willing to make oath to the fact.
To show with how much reason the De
mocracy may expect the enactment of sucl
swindle, we give below certain facts anc
figures, we have published before, and which
wore never denied and cannot be denied
for they are from the official election returns
Of the county, and the official census return.
Of the Marshal Of the State. Here they are
In 1857, the whole vote polled was 1928
Democratic. 7o5; Republican, 1928. B;
the census returns, there was, at that time
in the county, 1852 men over twenty lone
years of, age. The Deputy Marshals got five
cents a head for enumerating them, and
made oath that their returns were correct
and no impeachment Of them ever has been
or ever can be made. 2t5
This, then, is conclusive evidence of the
Jact that a large number Of votes were
polled in this county over and above the
number Of bona fide electors in the county
nearly, if not quite 400-for it must be
borne in mind that from 100 to $50 of those
electors did not vote at all. As further eyi
dence on this point, we give the actual vote
polled in 1858, aohe,e there hal been a lara
i''c'e1ss in The population Of the county,. ore,
anz a1ore Matof 1857. o. Whole nun
Der Of votes, 1631-297 votes less than aoer
pollea the gear before. Of them were Demo
cratic, 7l5-a slight increase. Republican
|916-a falling off Of 3O7 votes. ]a .,gia .u.f
The Republicans never have and neve,
can explain these figures, and they cam
be explained on any other basis than that o
fraudulent voting. It is impossible ~.
Fellow citizens, what had become Of tn.

in 1857? Where were they? Not in this
