For the purpose Of more thoroughly
perfecting the Republican organization
within our limits, The State Central
Committee hereby recommends the ap.
pointment of a County Committee Con.
sisting Of one active Republican from
each election precinct in the county,
who shall act as chairman Of his pre-.
cinct committee, and be elected At the
primary meetings held pursuant to this
call.
All who supported the nominees and
principles Of the Republican party at
the last Presidential election are cor
daily invited to take part in sending
delegates to this Convention.

This talk Of clecting outside men has
commenced again this fall. What docs
it mean ? If tho past is any evidence
it means this Elect such men as the
ringleadcrs may name. Whom will they
name? None but those who will en-
ter into solemn compact to do the busi-
ness as they dictate, to conceal all their
past delinquencies and frauds, to con-
tinue the old order of things in every
particular, to appoint them and their
sonsa as deputies, and more than all, to
dipttfc the Yoi2s wtth them.
Now, at this early day, VIC warn the
citizens Of the county to beware Of any
and all men outside Of Austin or inside,
who are taken up and supported by this
money stealing dynasty. There is but
one way to redeem tho county from the
thraldom Of these wicked despoilers and
that is to elect men to fiji their places
who are known and pledged to oppose
their unlawful and ruinous practices.-
Every time an Office is vacated, put
man into it who has ability and stam-
ina, one who will not succumb to whis-
Ky, threats nor bribes, and one who
will not be afraid to let the people
know where their money goes.
All that Sylvester Smith and SOL
omon Snow want this fall il to get
Treasurer who will receipt to them for
all the illegally purchased bonds and
orders they may have on hand, who will
not investigate past transactions and
will give tho use Of the County funds
to Smith / Co. Of course they
would like to manage these little
affairs themselves, but there are several
aspiring "outside" men who wonld not
hesitate to do it for them. Look out
for them.

Republican State Convention,

The Eleventh Annual Republican
State Convention will be held at St.
Paul on Thursday, the ninth day of Sep
tember, A. NJ. 1869, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the following
State officers to be filled at the next Gen
eral Election, viz:
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court;
Governor
Lieutenant Governor;
Secretary Of State
Attorney General;
Auditor Of State !;
State Treasurer
Clerk Of the Supreme Court.
The ratio of representation as deter
mined by the last State Convention, is
based upon the Presidential vote, and
entities the several counties to the fol-
lowing appoltionmcnt:

these peoples movements are bitterly
opposed by certain newspapers. Those
who engage in them arc branded as"bol-
ters," heterogeneous" ''sore heads" !"
and so on through the whole vocabulary
Of anathcmas. But the reason Of this
opposition is obvious. Every such
newspaper is either owned and control
ed by some ring, or is supported by the
patronage ofa ring.
The St. Paul Press. for instance, is
the organ Of the Head Center Ring Of
tho State, and it loses no opportunity
to hurl its fury at any movement in any
county, that looks towards REFORM
That paper can see no virtue in the peo-
pie, but any existing order Of things,
however corrupt, is, in its estimation,
entitled to profound regard, and is law
supreme. The little crumb. picking
Register of this place in a small way
takes the same course since it first star
ted. The only thing that has kept the
breath oflife in it, is what money the
old ring have stolen from the people
and given it. For FIVE years this sense
less paper has cost the county at least
one thousand dollars per annum, and
all this time it has done nothing but go
through the pantomine Of opening and
shutting its mouth whenever certain
ring men nodded. No wonder that al
such hireling sheets should oppose each
and every movement Of the people that
would have tendency to dry up the
source Of their sustenance. But the
shallow devices of such selfish men can
never prevent tho onward movement Of
tho car ofrsform. Those who publish
newspapers to uphold iniquity, and en-
deavor to blind the eyes Of tho people,
and dupe them to support fraud, are
digging their own graves deeper and
deeper every day. Sooner or later the
virtue, integrity and independence, Of
the people will be made manifest, and
all wicked usurpers viii be hurled
from power. Yes, let the people move
when ever they will to the overthrow
ofwickedness, and let small dogs bark
at them if in 10 doing they find conso-
lation, during their brief day.

Temperance in Politics.

The temperance people Of Minnesota
are jus< now engaged in misguided
movement. Being mostly Republicans
they are likely to make trouble in the
Republican Party. They have planted
themselves upon certain ground and say
to either Of the great parties "Come to
Us and We will be with you" Their
doctrine is prohibition as . political
creed. The Democratic Convention
will repudi.te them At once. So very
likely will the Republican. This
leaves to them their threatened alterna-
tive Of nominating third State Ticket.
Nothing is moro to be desired than
temperance rulers. Drunkenness il the
bane and disgrace Of our national coun-
ellis. But these temperance reformers
have taken q wrong way to accomplish
= very good result. The right way is
to 60 to work in republican style among
the people and see that none but tem-
perance men are nominated for Office.
We venture the prediction that if the
Good Templars and their co-workers in
the good cause nominate third ticket
this fall, there will be on it the usual
proportion Of whisky-drinking men, be-
sides an unusual number Of imbeciles.
This movement will furnish q last op-
portunity for broken down Politicians
who will don tho robes Of templars As
= temporary ezpedient to gain power
No man is 6t for Office unless he is temr
perate in all things,-but the simple
fact chat = person does not drink whisky
is no'evidence that he would govern
State, County or City with ability: Our
temperance friends forget Gas they did
here last spring. that there are OF her
qualifications beside total abstinance,
necessary to fit men to discharge public
duties successfully.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1869-09-02
Shall the People Rule i?

The only safety of Republican govern
ment is the integrity, ability and vigi-
lance Of the people. No truer saying
was ever uttered than that "etcrnal
vigilance is the price Of liberty
The people can never slumberS over
their rights, nor entrust their interest
to the keeping Of hired servants if they
would be prosperous and happy
Every citizen has a political duty to
perform, which no one can do for him.
He is a unit ofthe government and as
such is responsible for the right or
wrong that exists. Men act wisely
when they unite their energies in a
good cause. Every evil that creeps
into our political system should be
rooted out. The people should act
together in doing it. Hence a peo-
ples' movement to break up the corrup-
tion Of party or a clan who have
usurped the powers of a party, is always
honorable and right, such movements
are our only safeguard. They arc al
most necessity Of our political system
and they are becoming more common
every day. In large number Of the
counties Of this State: where few men
have combined for many years to con-
troll Offices and patronage for selfish
ends, until the burdens of taxation have
become too heavy to be borne in silence,
the people arc waking up to their own
interests, and uniting with a determin-
ed purpose to hurl the usurrcrs from
power. This is not only being done in
this but in other States. In the city
Of Chicago a revolution in local matters
is going on and tho fight is very bitter.
On a large scale they have there the
exact counterpart of what exists in Now
er County. They have ring that has
farmed out the county Offices for many
years. But the people without regard
to party or sect, have now taken hold of
the matter. They have but one plank
in their platform and that is to drive
out the old ring.
As might have been anticipated all

THE NEW POLITICAL DODGE
SIGNS OF WEAKNR09 IN THE
RING.
The Old Game Of Promisss Be9ua.

Every day the grasp which the lead
ers Of the Austin dynasty have 80 long
had upon a large number Of the tax
paying. voters Of tho county, is growing
weaker. The people begin to reflect,
and while they reflect, the question ar
rises, what is the propriety in our pay
ing such enormous taxes every year, to
enrich a few men who lie around the
county buildings in Austin under the
pretext Of serving US, while in fact,
they serve their own pockets : This
question is followed by settled con-
viction that the time has fully come,
when the power Of this corrupt and
dangerous dynasty shall be broken
The leaders Of this Ring have discov-
cred the change of wind and tide, and
are trimming their sails accordingly
The cardinal doctrine of their creed is
this, 1--WE will have tho ,chok profits
aud emoluments 6f the county Offices if.
We Can get them, if not, We will secure
the election of our special friends who
will divide the spoils with US IS COM
pensation for our influence" They
mover adopt the latter alternative when
they feel sure Of the former, and they
frequently advocate the latter in order
to secure the former. Whenever GER
tain men and their organ the Register
are known to advocate selecting men
outside Of Austin to fill county Offices,
as they arc oow doing, it may be regar-
ded as proof positive Of one Of two
things-party weakness-or sly game
to dupc the people. This dodge Of
tickling men in the various towns with
promises of Office is not now. 1t is
practiceo every year, to secure the DEL
ecation from certain doubtful towns.-
Last year, Leroy, Window and Racine
were all scduced by treacherous prom
ises Of of6cc,-pledges that those who
m .dc them never intended to fulfil
What was the result I Mr.. Fairbanks
of Window, and Sanborn Of Racine were

liams, of Le Roy refused to barter away
the profits Of his omce to Solomon
Snow, in case he should be elected, and
for this objectionable sin against tho
creed of tho Ring, was defeated by those
who had been loudest in their protes-
tations of allegiance to his cause.-
Hathaway was elected by tho votes that
were taken from Williams, which was
done simply and solely because he
agreed to admit Snow as an equal part
ner. Results verify what We say, for
to-day no attempt is made to conceal
the fact that the Office Of Register of
Deed. is partnership copocru between
Snow and Hathaway. We said last
year, many times that the Ring had no
party principles This proves it, for

The Peer Unforauuate.

1t is an easy thing to make wholesale
assertions that our neighbors tell lies,
but it is quite another thing to prope
that they tell them. 1fone half the
allegations Of the Mower County Reg.
ister for the last year were true, Gan
hypothesis which no christian would
be wicked enough to make,) the Fa-
ther Of Lies would justly assign the
TRANSCRIPT a position in his house
hold not much below the Register.
But it may never have occurred to the
added brain Of the selfrigteous crumb-
picker who is preparing himself for SO
high position in the above mentioned
household that he has never proved
that during all this time We have utter
ed one /alsehood: Does tho silly
youth suppose that the idiotic claek of
his lounge as it goes through the old
mechanical performance Of saying "you
lie "you He'' "1ou LIE" "you lie" "yo,'
lie" ''You LIE, is taking by the public q
any evidence of truth =
Does "Charley" remember ono day
when he held up his little hand and
swore E'that the TRANSCRIPT supple
ment contained hundred lies r And
does he remember that after he had
taken the oath he couldn't point out
one! 1t is said that there is no ami
mial Of so low a grade of instinct but
that it can cry for food, aud it is we'll
known that the best evidence Of va
cant mind is the constant repetition of
the same thing. The poor Register
boy does both, every day he cries to
the county for food, and fills up the in
tervals with his senselcss mumbling
monotone *you lie" you lie" "you lie''
The State has provided an asylum for
this class of unfortunates and there the
County or his parents ought 10 have
mercy enough to send him.
