ORR CAMPAIGN EDITION.

1t is increasing at marvellous rate.
We have only one regret, that those
who take it miss the valuable CORES
pondencc from the leading farmers and
Grangers of all parts of the State,
which is to be found only in the Regu-
lar edition.
There is one remedy to subscribe
for the Regular Edition. Terms, fifty
cents. for three months; one dollar
for six months; two dollars for one
year. Clubs Of FIVE or more, to one dd
dress. one dollar and fifty cents each
for one year.
We think our large correspondence
one of the best features of our paper
Through it the people spaek their rea
sentiments the voice Of the multi
tude is heard.

An IMPORTANT SUGGESTION.

The St. Paul Press says that two
thirds of the Republican candidates for
the Legislature, nominated thus far, are
for Ramsey.
We would suggest to our friends that
in each county they have the Republi-
can candidates called upon to define
their position, and publicly declare
whether or not they are to be included
among the two-thirds claimed by the
Press. See that some of the Republi
cans in each case address the caHdi
dates open letters. and have them de
fine their position as between Ramsey
and Davis; and then publish the cor
respondence. The Press would hardly
make the statement it does, if it wa!
without foundation,-it will be so soo1
susceptible Of disproof;-let there b
no humbugging,-no obtaining of vote
under false pretences compel Repub
lican candidates to show their hand.

Shopping by Mail.

Nothing is more important to pur-
chasers than to know when to purchase
to advantage. 1t is easy enough to 60
to the city, look the market over and
make selections, but to get goods when
they are wanted without mourning the
expense of trip to the city is often
very important. There is gen.
eeral disposition to do without the
goods wanted until other business per
haps makes trip necessary, or to
await the coming Of some travelling
agent to make the purchase, either Of
which courses has serious objections.
The truth is, goods cost more when
they have to be bought from agents.

OUR PosT0FF1CE LORDS.

On the Oath September friend at
Litchfield mailed US on the cars at that
place, letter. plainly directed to US
and prepaid with three, cent postage
stamp. 1t should have reached US in
St. Paul in three or four hours.
It reached US October 8th-just four
teen days-Two wEEKs-after it was
sent. On that day we received notice
at the St. Paul Office that letter was
withheld for three cents postage. We
paid the three cents and took our let
ter. The postmark reads ''St. Paul &
Pacific R. R. Sept. 24.'' Where was it
in the meantime
We have forwarded the envelope to
the U. S. Mail Agent, and we propose
to follow the matter to the Post Office
Department at Washington. and have
it aired if necessary on the floor of Con.
gress. We will see if these dirty
scamps are to trample the rights Of
American citizens under their feet fol

Notice.

We want our friends from all parts OF the
State to send us letters for publication, CIV
ing the local news, their political views, &C.
It makes no difference whether you agree
with us or not we will give all respectful
hearing.
Never mind the spelling and the grammar,
provided you have good sound sense and
honest purpose. Any type-setter can fur
nish the first two, but only the Lord is able
to provide the latter; and he. does not scat
ter them around by any means plentiful.
Write whenever you have a point to make
and write to the point.
We would especially urge upon our
friends to condense and be brief. We have
a large amount of valuable correspondence
sent to us from all parts ofthe State, and as
our space IS limited, much OF it will be post
poned until it loses its interest, unless the
writers remember the old .adage, "brevlty
is the soul of wit"

LIE sUEuR COUNTY AFFAIRS.

It looks now as if there would be
three legislative tickets in the field in
LIE Sueur county. If there are, the
Republicans will drive tt cir little trades
and try to make their little points for
Ramsey. Why can not the Opposition
unite? Postpone your quarrels till mex t
year, gentlemen. Agree to agree until
then, even if you have to disagree af-
forwards. Don't give the enemy a
chance to take advantage of your dis
fractions. Do not throw away the gold
en- opportunity which now presents its
self to redeem the State. But if you
mast fight, confine your battles to To-
cal matters, and unite on the legislative
ticket. 1t will be poor satisfaction to
any of you to know that you have de-
feated this or that enemy. and thereby
have brought to noug ht the labors

of the men who we're nominated by the
Anti.Monopolists and Democrats IN
Hennepin county for the Legislature
In the 9th district Hon. John Wander
horck, for Senator, is German, but
talks our language fuently. He is an
intelligent, good looking, able man full
of life and energy, and in full sympathy
with the laboring class of cur people as
against moneyed aristocracy.
Daniel Bassett is an old settler IN this
State. and | know from personal knowl-
edge that better man could not have
been selected. He left the Republican
party because of its corruption, and has
since taken an active part IN the feo-
ples' movement for reform.
Hon. Frank L. Morse has been IN the
Legislature three or four winters. lie
is said to be the hardest working mem
Der there, the people can trust him to
defend their rights.
Gordon Jackins has been IN the State
more than twenty-five years. he was
engaged in the numbering business up to
1857, but he lost everything ne mao
that wear, and has since been engaged
in farming. His town has elected MIN
Assessor for five years; and ne was
twice chosen as chairman OF supervisors
without opposition. He was cand''
date on the Greeley ticket for the Legs
lature. and out Of 80 votes cast IN MS
township he received 81. tie is SAID &c
be a good speaker and we'll posted upon
all subjects.
If the people want Reform, in my
opinion these are the men to carry Out
their wishes. Yours truly,

which now reign supreme in the Repub-

l can truly say that there is politi-
cal revolution among the Republicans !;
they are now convinced that in order to
crush out the rings and corruptions.
they have to put in Office men who will
be faithful, and honest. Men who will
consecrate their talents for the good Of
their country.
/ am gratifed to see that my brothe,
farmers are now determined to exter'
inmate the rascals that now predomin
ate in the Republican administration.

Your paper is winning many, many
friends, in this part Of the State. In
fact it is considered, Notwithstanding
its youth, the best neacs paper IN the
State. The St. Paul Press is not taken
by any except the most radical OF radi-
calls. while the Pioneers course is dis
gushing to ALL If you continue to
keep your paper up 10
it's present standard it will displace
every 9th paper in every farmer S
house.
The Grange movement has SO dlscon-
certed the political rings by making the
grand and nobYe words Of President
Lincoln, in his dedicatory address OF
the soldiers national cemetery at Get
tysburg, the watchword OF
the peop,e. He said, eve
here highly resolve that these
dead shall have net died in vain; that
the nation shall, under God, have a new
birth of freedom, and that the gorern-
ment of the people. by the people, and
for the peopls, shall net perish from
the EARTH"
The war of the rebellion is ended, but
the war against corruption Is just COM
menced. We are not lighting
an enemy armed with steel bayonets !;
but we have a worse enemy armed with
stealing hands; but that seems to be
one of the necessary qualifications OF a
candidate in the dominant party. Ii
the people in convention assembled, ex-
press their preference for men that they
know are honest, men who are not COM
mitted to any party Clique, men who
have always stood by the people and
against the monopolist, men who have
never soiled their hands by being Rail
road Attorneys, thereby helping them
to rob the people; if they do this they
are told that they are doing something
they have no right to do. Oh
no, the people must not select men 70,
office that they will be called upon te
elect in few weeks: but if Congress
man is to be elected then the postmas
ters and other officers that hold then
places through his infuence,-they mus
select him. If a judge is to be elected
lawyers must say who he shall be. Non
sense, you say. But that is just sucl
nonsense as one Of our enlightene'
county editors treats his readers with
feel sorry for him. He can't help il
for he is the mouth-piece of a ring,an
when the ring says bray he must bray
bat the people see his ears and are nc
deceived.
