THE VOICE OF TIlE PREss.

Vta1G YOAOE ~ T1A10 HABSAsG I'll
We make ez.traots from several ,oi i
the leading Republican papers Of this
State to show how public feeling is With
regard to Gov. Marshall; and his bond
pro)ect:s x ye@y]G .%e& VI ..g51@aG IL.
The trouble with the Governor. is, he
is badly mixed up and implicated in the
present bond swindle. In other words
he is the candidate Of the Bond advo-
Gates of the State, and for that reason
alone some other man; should receive
the nomination this fall. r, -. -. ..a..
The Bond question should be def
nitely settled by the people Of this State
at an early day, aud We should eloct
men Of broad, state 8 nanlike views, those
who will see that justice is done, and
who cannot be, bought with price.
'It:is settled beyond peradventure
that the bond proposition will be defeat
ed by a large majority, and it certainly
would be impolitic to elect tho man who
is the first choice of the Bondholders.

Is it not little inconsistent for par
ties to claim that they are opposed to
Gov. Marshall's plan for tho payment
Of the old railroad bonds, and yot favor
the denomination Of that person for
governor? If Gov. Marshall is reuom-
mated it will be an cndorsal Of his ad.
ministration, principal among the acts
Of which is this proposition to pay the
old swindling railroad bonds.-Hast-
sngs Gazette. ", -
Remember, fellow citizens, that the
fste of four MILLIONS Of dollars hangs
upon the. action Of the coming State
Convention of September 11th. Re
member that the tuture' ascendency Of
the Republican party will :depend;im-
mensely upon its action. <. -.
/ "A strong effort will be made to buy
the Convention and nominate WILLIAM
r. MARSHALL, the Champion of the
Bonds, for Governor. Send up Anti
Bond and Anti Marshall men, men
tried, and none others. If opposed to
the Bonds, let no man stulify himself
by going for the originator and instiga-
tor Of the present Proposition to fur
'ther swindlo the People by paying them
in full, principal and interest: Espe-
cially, send no men who "hem :" and
"haw r and have no.decided unequiv-
ocal opinion about the matter. Sus.
:pect the man as unsound,. who tells you
he is opposed to the Bonds, but thinks
Marshall ''is worthy and ,:estimable
man. and he s'don't know but he ought
to be re,nominated." This style of do:
ing things IS quite like Christian
protesting belief in the Bible, bnt hav-
ing a profound respect for the deviz as
q much, abused. gentlemanly sort. of an
individual, who ought to be patronized
ANTI: BOND, ANTI-MARSHALL!
This is the true watchword for the
September 'Convention.-M. Paul
Minnesotaan. -: ..., :.
): The Anoka Press concludes an ar
ticle denouncing the. bond proposition
with this sensible remark: .....:.
Let. ua have delegates clearly COM
mitted to one side Of the question. We
must have no neutrality, or noncoumit-
talism. Every delegate to, the State
Convention, and every candidate for a
State Office, should have a clear record
on this question. .,.-. .>.~ -

They resolve that it is their bounden
duty to use every fair means to defeat
the bond proposition. Why? Because
| it would involve taxation for which they
are not prepared, and an expenditure
Of money they.do not owe: How far Dc
they use "every fair means" to defeat
the bond swindle, when they propose
to elect again man, who as far as the
public knows, is iu favor Of the scheme,
and will continue to recommend to sue
ceeding legislatures, similar PROPOSE:
