prevent the Republicans from unseating
the Democratic Senators from Fillmore
county?
On the following day, March 18th, the
grinders give another tune as follows:
1t looks gloomy. don't it, O We people of St.
raul Men and brethren. we say to you, it is
our honest belief that had your Democratic
Representatives from Ramsey county (Oliyier
annsS. Stephenson co., been prompt, true
oapa1ie, so gloomy prospect would not now
appat your vision, without at least glimmer.

aged-not frightened away-and St.Paul would
this day be exulting in the foreshadowing of a
speedy, active and prosperous future.
o People of st. Paul See how much
you have lost by MAcKUB1N, M1TscH, OIL
YER and STEPHENsoN-four men-who pre-
vented over eighty Republicans from settling
this question.
These four men have frightened away
immigration" and J" killed St. Paul and all
Minnesota deader than dog poisoned with
sausage while the eighty odd n,en-were
powerless !! These Republicans had eighty
odd votes and MAcKuB1N & Co., four, and
the four outvoted the eighty.
Of course you understand these figures
and see just how it was-only mind and
don't be misled by the first tune we sung
about pecuniary greed" and "local jeal-
ousies"!
Strange that this Ramsey county delega~
ton "A VS.. 80 oddly could not prevent the
unseating of the Dokota County Democratic
Representatives. Strange they could not
prevent the unjust apportionment law ger
rymandering the State and DISTINGUISHING
whole Democratic districts.
Now finally hear the last blast of the
" Fuzzy Guzzy."-the application of all
to practical life. The city election comes
on in April, and the city printing is to be
let, and all these lessons will be useless un-
less you apply them at the polls.
People Of st. Paul! (No other locality is SO

Now, seriously, is not this sort of logic
complimentary to the intelligence of the
readers of that organ ?" Is not the first
picture drawn of the causes of these disap-
pointments complimentary to the enlarged
patriotism and disinterested purity of the
Reform Party 2" And is not the picture
of F" st. Paul and all Minnesota deader than
dog poisoned by the sausage of the police"
and of the omissions and shortcomings of
the Republican Legislature, so suicidal to
our interests, and destructive of our pros
perity -" immigration frightened away
"gloomy prospects appalling your vision,
and not glimmering of hope in the perspec-
tive. is not this picture very different
from the picture promised you in the last
canvass by Republicans of " RAMSEY and
good times" if you would only give them
power, which you have done?
Out of their own mouths they are con-
demned:
They have just added one more example
to vindicate the truth stated by the writer
OF this article, in communication last fall,
prior to the election, when a change" was
demanded as panacea for all evils, that
" change is not always reform, and that it is
easier to find fault than to do better"
