Just a. we Expecsed-Wht
Speaks Next.
-Mr. Editor. Permit me through
iyour columns 10 contradict report
that seems to have gained circulation
somehow. Ihave been informed that
the Patrons of Husbandry think that
have been lending helping hand
to those that are engaged in getting
the new party started. Were l lay
member Of the Order of the T. of h.
l should not trouble you NOR myself
about the matter; but as | have been
elected in several cases to represent
the wishes of others. deem it my
duty TO refute those misrepresenta-
tions. Instead of aiding those engag-
ed in getting up the new party have
used nv best endeavors to prevent II.
As p. Of III. think il against our
rules. and If il were not think II will
prove against our interests. We have
enough on our hands at present to at
tend 10 without running the whole
political machine. One thing ut a
time. is my motto. | have opposed
the new movement in every meeting
Of the p. OF Fl. that | have attended,
when the subject came up; and 1
deem i, unfair to saddle the meeting
Of the 2sth Of June on the County
Council. 1t is true that the commit
tee on resolutions reported one 10
that effect. / was on that committee,
but opposed that resolution, as my
colleagues well know. and you, MIR.
Editor know that when the subject
came before the Convention on the
2Sth uit., that Secretary Bailey said
that he did not understand that the
County Council called the Conyen-
ton or had any right to call one. and
that was nv opinion respecting 1t
too. 1t has been said that none at
tended as Changers. That is mis-
take. | went there as Granger to
look after what deemed to be those
interests. and to try and keep any
thing from being laid on their shout
ders that they have no right TO bear.
Twas not in the meeting before din
ner. and therefore know not what WAS
done. The chairman appointed me
one Of the committee on resolutions;
the resolutions are all right IN them |
selves. As for my name being used |
as one of the executive committee. ! |
let it pass, as such committees are
generally not worth the paper il takes
to record their names. | should not
have written this, but | deemed it
due to myself and those that reposed
confidence in me by sending me to
look after their interests. Ny Grange
sent me as delegate to the County
Council, there | was elected one of
the Ex. Com; again was sent dele
gate 10 the Dist. Ass n, and there cho-
sen Trustee for Cedar TO. And / take
this method of informing the good
people of my conduct and belief, and
if | do not represent their wishes, all
they have to do is to let me know
and l will deliver up the keys of all
my offices with the greatest pleasure.
And now few words about the
new movement: In the first place !
think the Republican platform adopt
ed at Des Moines is all that can be |
asked for as far as pledges are con-
cerned; and ] do not suppose that any
party proposes to put itself under
bonds for the faithful performance of
It's pledges. And if a new party is
got up the machine must be run by
men from the old parties, and these
men are likely to be just as dishonest
n the new party as they were in the
Did one. | fail to see how the case is
% be bettered except there be an i'm
portation of Chinese, Japanese and
Hotentots, to run the thing; for in my
opinion it is impossible to find men
enough to run the government that
are all honest. Ifany one thinks they
can they have more faith in human
laws, and stronger belief in the hon.
esty of the descendants Of Adam than
l have.
Yours truly, SAM'L YULE.
