ME-. aREELEYs SUGGESTIONS TO THE DEMOCRACY
From the New York Tribune.l
I'm October last, Mr.. Greeley wrote to a Mis-
souri, Democratic editor, in response to q letter
from the latter, proposing Horace as Democratic
candidate for President in 1872. Mr.. Greeley
says the Democracy should have nominated
Chase, in 1868, and closes thus
You only err as to the proper candidate. am
not the man you need. Your party is mostly
Free Trade, and am ferocious Protectionist.
have no doubt that might be nominated and
elected by your help, but 1t would place all in
. false position. II 1, who am adversely inter
ested, can see this, am sure your good sense
will on reflection realize it. You must take some
good man like 0ratz Brown, or Trumbull, or
Gen. Cox, late Secretary of the Interior and
thus help TO pAcify and reunite our country
anew. Yours, HoRAcR GREELEY.
Had the Democratic leaders in 1868 taken
such advice as is above given, we do not know
whether Chase or Grant would have then been
chosen President but the country would in
either case, have been very far on the
road to perfect Reconstruction through a gem
eral and hearty acquiescence in Universal Am
nesty and Impartial Suffrage az the solid, i'm.
movable basis of our restored National edifce
But those leaders learn very slowly, and rarely
Apprehend their opportunity till long after it has
passed away. As was once irreverently said OF
Daniel Webster, they are always riding dead
horse"

years. The last tax list we published
was iD 1868, At the rate of one cent
and a-ha!f por description, receiving
IS payment 10 f1ll tho muniicent sum
Of 1864 in county orders worth fifty
cents on the dollar. In 1862 the list
amounted to $l0.04-equal to $500 10
cash. Since 1868 tho Democratic pa
per hero has had the delinquent list at
the legal rates, without any interfcr-
ence on our part. The Land Office
printing, t. which the Union refers,
has yielded this Office since the begin
ming Of January, 1871, just $123.
The Land Officers preferred to send the
greater portion OF the patronage Of
the office to other newspapers, includ.
ing the Democratic paper. The city

been lower than those of our oompeti-
tors. So much for the "patronago"
matter. i -.

on 4 good square business foundation,
and occupies position which can DO

ering by any Ring or combination.
The people like the paper, and sub
scribe for it, and continue subscribing
for it; business men find it the best
medium in Northern Minnesota for ad.
vertising, and so make liberal use Of its
columns our job work is acknowledge
ed to be unequalIed above Alinneapo-
lis. For these advantages, We have to
thank no patronage except that OF the

MAINE PRAIRIE, March II, 1872.
EDITOR JoURNAL-My attention
has just been called to late number
of the new paper in your town, and es-
pecially to an article claiming to be q
communication from this place. The
style Of writing is so suspiciously and
strikingly like another communication
from Sank Centre, that our people in.
sist that they were written by tho same
person, and that the Maine Prairie
letter was never written here at all, but
originated among the sling" brethren
Of the "Organ." We are of the opin-
ion that when We want any of those
gentlemen-who boast cf running
Maine Prairie-to write letters for US,
it will te about the time the Railroad
is built via Waits mill or, to be
more definite, shortly after they again
attempt to dc!eat our local interests
in Legislative matters with Cold
Spring mao. Their good will and
kindly feeling towards our section has
been so manifest Of late that We abso-
lutely worshi2 the entire crowd. Speak
ing of politics reminds me that to. NOR
row We have our annual election of
town officers, which now promises to
be very lively. Will give you the re-
suit. 1t also leads me to an inquiry.
