FECTED REPUBLICANS.
We notice that the publication Of the ad-
dress Of tie "disaffected' Republic.ns, has
create'l al immense stnsation in The Re-
publican ranks. The full confirmation it
gave of our statements in regard to the cor
ruption which controlled the Republican
Convention-of the foul means used by the
|canaidatessto obtain their nominations 1of
the pledges they had to make to Charles
Mcclure as q condition Of their nomination
pledges which Elder Sorin and Mr.. Mar
TIN refused to make when approached on
that su?j9ct-so they both say openly-and
did say in the presence of the Conven-
ton. IN short, the address so fully con.
firms every statement we made in regard to
that Convention and its candidates -even TO
the fact that all the ,vspe liability Of th,t
|fnty refused to s1ncticn such prcces7in3s,
and to support such ticket, as they do
still III rei'use-with three Or four paltry ex-
captions. '''si' ,. ''''' -. Go.
=, AS an evidence Of this commotion, our
Readers will notice that five out of the six
editorial columns of the Goodhue County
Republican, was last week taken up entirely
in the desperate attempt to soften and ex-
plain away the meaning Of that document
and the intention Of its authors and siyners
generally---:but entirely without snccess--to
repair the damages that such shot coming
right from their own ranks would natur .lly
occasion-~--sweeping away as it does every
pretencc of the Republican, party in this
county. to honor and fair dealing, or zeal Tor
the welfare Of the people, and showing to
he a mass Of corruption and g.ilt. 81"
We would respectfully suggest tina, tia
address doesn't need any Of the comnlc.,;-
rics Or explanations Of the Il pyJ,i. a.
Why doesn't: it, before it attempts to. ex
plain away its meaning, ptJHsi 1t, so tina:
its readers may judge TO-: themselves |,
is bold and out-spoken document. Its
LANGUAGE is clear and explicit. It charges
shat the management Of the Republ can
Convention was corrupt, and. that without;
ONE steps were taken to purify the party
and TO remedy the dissatisfaction such cor
rupt action had occasioued, that the Repub-
lican party would be defeated in this coun-
ty--as it ought to be. Every one of the
parties who signed it knew what it con-
tanned. They knew that the Statements
and the charges it made were true, Or Else
thy stuH!ted Menselv ,uhea thy signed il,
as one or two Of them have since done by
endeavoring through The columns of the
1fePudt,cun to expla n away and modify
|helr s"tentton when they signed it, That
is to say, that they have basely abandoned
their independent, and manly; and truthful
position as the enemies Of fraud and corrup-
ton, they had assumed, and truck!e down
to, and are whipped in, for the sake Of office,
~ the faction which made tie nominations
and was guilty Of the corr :p,ion which they
charg, and which now. by trying to smooth
over and explain away. they show them
selves to approve Of, and endeavor to be
equally guilty with the faction, which, in a
moment of just Indignation: they claimed
to be so corrupt. We would like to see the
Rev. G. W. L. Wright get out 0! that fix if
he can. Either he stultificd himself when
he signed the instrument, or he has done it
since by sicunttng. :3a.i ~.a.u.5a.
1--WE say that the publication of that adj
dress must have had most happy effect. =
The Republican swcats and blows over i,
dreadfplly, and finally does make out to
show-not that q single .turt cAa,yed therein
g untrue-but that ITS s::gners did not intend
it for Democratic electioneerins document
Well. suppose they didn't? Does that
lessen the weight of their. statements !? On
the contrary, it is the strongest evidence Of
its truthfulncss. It was intended for Re-
publicans alone, got up for the purpose of
remedying the party evils, and preventing
their enactment in the future. But the
Republican must admit, and every person
who ha; read it, that notwithstanding that
was the sole intention Of its authors, yet,
when published to the people generally, it
makes . capital Democratic electioneering
document-the best that could be DEVISED
for it proves beyond the possibility Of reiu-
tation, the truth Of all the charges of cor
ruption and fraud which we have so often
made against the Republican managers in
this county-and we take it that those
charges being thus proved, he must he a
poor excuse for a voter that will sanction
such fraud and corruption by his vote. 81

y The Democracy have held a series Of very
pleasant and spirited meetings at different
points in the county, during The past two
weeks, and among others one at Feathers

who lllnsslisted-although he had refused be-
