We notice that fierce fight is being
made in tho Tenth Judicial District

Sherman Page, Of Mower county. MIR

cessful lawyers in Southern Minnesota

party. But Mr. Page has been wagine
stern, incorporating, and finally
successful warfare with a ring Of cor
rupt county officers in his own county
who seem to rival, on small scale, the
operations of the Tammany thieves.
These county officers, including an
Auditor, Register Of Deeds, and one o,
two County Commissioners, who had
been severally guilty Of gross official
crimes, such ~ embezzlemsnt. defalcs

courageous and underwriting exer.

ton. Of this ring Of thieves the Nov
or County Registe1, the Greeley Liber
al-Reform organ in that section, has
been and still is the persistent champion
and defender. They. and such friends
as they can muster. constitute the Lib
eral-Reform Greeley element in Mower
county. Their hopes Of defeating him
rest upon the supposed disaffectlon Of
Hon. J. Q. Farmer, Of Fillmore county,
who was an unsuccessful candidate for
tho nomination WHICH was given to Mr.
Page. A strong attempt is being made
by the Democratic Liberal Corruption
ist-Reform party, to persuade Mr.. Far
mer to accept their nomination, or to
induce him to run at least as an inde-
pendent candidate, in the hope that he
would carry of enough Republican
votes in Fillmore county, if united to
the Democratic vote, to best Mr.. Page.
We shall be very much surprised and
disappointed if Mr.. Farmer shall con-
sent to any such use of HE name.
Mr.. Page, having been fairly nomina
ted by the Republicans Of that District,
is entitled to that cordial support from
Mr.. Farmer and his friends which they
would have expected from him and his
friends If Mr.. Farmer had been nomi-
mated. This is the code of political

The Party OF Many ColOro.


Republication means one and the
same thing in every section Of the land.
It is not one thingin Maine and another
in Texas. Its principles are we'll known,
its policy clearly defined, and whoever
supports it knows in advance what it
will b. Entrusted with power.
The Greeley party has no settled
policy, and may truly be called party
Of many colors. 1t means equal rights
in Maine. while in West Virginia it
means taking from the colored man
the right to hold Office. In ono place
it means, or pretends to mean, the OBJ
serving in good faith Of tho fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, while in
another it means the practical rcpudia-
ton Of their provisions. Among loyal
a'en it denies any intention to pay rebel
debts and the pensions Of rebel soldiers,
but among disloyal men it promises to do
these very things. With its New Eng
land followers it pleads Radicalism,
but in the South denouaces it, and
claims ito support on the grounds that
its advent will be the death of the
Radical party.
The soreheads who have deserted the
Republican party claim Greeley as q
Republican, while the Southern Demo.
Gratis and their Northern allies claim
him a. = Democrat, through whose
election their party is to be brought
into power. The Kuklux support Mr..
Greeley because they believe they can
carry on their work of villainy under
his administration with more safety to
themselves than under General Grant,
while the good souls Of the North, who
have faith 10 Mr.. Greeley, believe his
simple presence in the White House
will do away with the Kuklux Klans
forever.
The truth is, the party has no policy
except to get into power then it will
name policy to suit ITSELF All that
Mr.. Greeley wants is to be President.
Although he knows the loyal sentiment
ofthc nation is against him he is willing
to do anything to become the Chief
Executive. The power is what he
wants the means used to obtain it is a
matter Of secondary importance. But
the country has no desire to risk its
future in the hands Of 10 ambitious q
3emagogue a. Mr.. Greeley has shown
himself to be- Less than six months
ago this very candidate claimed that
ga Democratic vtctory ,ooula be a na-
tional calamity" As the nominee Of
that party he has changed his mind,
but the nation holds him to his first
opinion, and will avert the calamity
which Greeley prophesied by tho tri-
umphant election Of General Grant.

a New Discovery.

Tho Grcclcyites have been fo:ced to
abandon their general charges Of cor
ruption against tho Administration
The proof submitted by General Grants
friends has boon 50 convincing that even
tho rank and file Of the Democracy
have been pursuadcd that the admins
tration Of General Grant has been both
honest and economical. This admission
has thrown the opposition into confu-
sion. The reduction Of the national
debt to tho amount Of 1886, 000, 900
has been a stubborn fact to overcome.
They have given up the task of dis.
proving it, and have changed the mode
Of attack. Failing to prove tho Ad.
u'inistration corrupt, they attempt "a
rob the President of the credit which
belongs to him !" the management Of
affairs. i" General Grunt dilnt pay

a discovery. This may be a good plank
to carry Greeley on, but the people will
be apt to stand by the man who permit
ted them to do so much towards lessen
ing the burdens Of taxation. Ii The
debt had been increased would these
Grceleyites blame the people or Genera
Grant? They would have denounced
the President from Maine to California
and would have secuted the idea Of
holding the people responsible. But
the debt has been decreased, and these
model retormcrs suddenly discover that
General Grant had nothing to do with
it, that the credit belongs to the people
who rendered tho money to accomplish
the magnificent result. We are con-
tent to leave the credit to the people
General Grant belongs to the people
they sustained him in the past and will
stand by him in the future. He has
laborcd for the people; his work has
been their work, Endorsed by them, and
November will show that, as the 6t
representative Of their interests, they
want him for tho next four years to
permit them to do as we'll by the nation
as during the four years past. Praise
the people for doing we'll and You pay

Grant, but what then becomes of Sum-

comes along the street at the top of his
speed, with dog and sled close at his
heels, but that silent witness floats out
before him, and instantly he pauses, and
for ? moment looks upon it with an awe
struck gaze. then with twitch at his
cap, as if to place it less awry upon his
uncombed head, he walks slowly, almost
reverently, away; even the sun declines
to shine upon our streets to-day, and all
without seems cold and gray; for in the
early morning an unbiddeu, and an un-
welcom, guest, had visited our little viii
lage and borne away loved and hon
Ored citizen. And there, just over the
way, the lips. that have spoken words of
counsel, then again those of encourage
ment and cheer, are mute and motion
less-eyes that looked their calm and
kindly greeting, sleep in unbroken slum-
ber-hands ever extended in friendships
greeting, aud filled with charity for the
suffering and distressed, now lie cold and
motionless upon pulseless breast.
Over the bier through the long, long
day, anguished friends shed affections
holy tears. Slowly the sad hours 90 by
and, as welcome night again draws nigh,
with outspread dusky wing, the record
for the day is closed yet through the
gloom seems to CLEAN light, guiding
our way over the river toward the spirit
home, and as the stars come family out,
wind voices seem singing,
Things seen and unseen have their times
And tides Of feeling; and the years
When fitting, pause, to list the chimes
Which fill the stars bright eyes with tears"

Round about US, upon every hand,
silent ard grand, rise the majestic hills
of Circumstance. Here in the valley
ever surrounded by their unseen shadows
"day by day We turn LIES pages" each
succeeding morn opening a new unspot-
ted page in the Day book aud Ledger,
which the fleeing moments dot with the
record of our joys and sorrows, and as
the page prove smooth or married, so we
in our blind ignorance attribute our loss
or gain, our joys and pain alone to chance;
forgetting that in deeds and objects, are
we to find the key to the mysterious
history which reveals the powers that
govern the minds of men.
How strange it seems, ten minutes
ago we were talking and laughing, with
never thought of care, and now, pain
full silence rcigns. Suddenly out upon
the morning air slowly sounds tho toll
ing bell, and with half whispered tones
came the choruscd words, "Hush some.
body's dead" Oh, how long it tolls,
who .can it be? One glance from the
window and we are answered-just over
the way from our neighbors door hut
tiers the sable emblem Of their grief

quence those folds acknowledgements
no words can portray-the eloquenco of
