SEND Us THE MONEY. JENNgsOr

Our articles in reference to the pub
lie printing question knocked Jennison
into comatose condition. He has,
however, slept upon it; and sleep.
''Balm of hurt minds,
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve Of
care"
has refreshed him so far that he stag
gers up, and mutters in his vacant, wan
dering, incoherent way:
Donnelly charges that Jennison put too
low rates IN the printing bill We answer
that the bill introduced will show for itself
that Jennison 'did not reduce the maximum
rates allowed by the former law" Donnelly
replies:
Now we have copy of the printed bill
as introduced furnished Us by Jennison
himself, with marginal notes, in which it is
claimed that the new law made considerable
reduction on the old law
Now, we will pay Mr.. Donnelly one hun
dred dollars to point out one single instance
from the printed bill as introduced fur
nished him by Jennison himself" where
the bill as introduced made any reduction in
the maximum rates. One hundred dollars
to show that the bill as introduced reduced
the rate for any kind of work. One hun
dred dollars to show that Jennison put rates
IN the printing bill lower than former maxi
mum rates And since Donnellv saws he
has copy OF "tre printed bill as Intro
duced' before him, we offer him hundred
dollars to show that he did not write and
print what he knows to be false. when he
said that we put in the printing bill rates
that we knew were too low Red Wing Re-

That Won't do Josepa.

We called Jcseph's attention in ou1

whenever we made cross-road speech
| he devoted whose columns to the con.

now when we are editing newspaper

seph replies, that we are like some nox-
lous gases that become attenuated by
being dissipated in space; and that the
more there is Of us the less we amount
to; and hence that when we spoke but
once year our concentrated thoughts
were worth noticing, but that when we
speak ffty-two times year. through a
newspaper, we are Of no moment what :

these words, so cents in present law.

Now that clearly entities US to the
first hundred dollars. This is clearly
an instance ''where the bill as intro
duced made reduction of the maxi
mum rates, viz: from 10 cents to s.
cents and mills.
But we arc also after that second
hundred dollars: Zone hundred dol
lars to show that the bill. as introduced,
reduced the rate for any kind of work. >
On page three of the said bill, section
five, line two, it says: 1.-THE bills, resolu'
tons. ETC., shall be printed, ETC., each
page to contain not less than thirty two
lines of forty five ems in length. F" Over
the word ''thirty-two' is written with
lead pencil ''thirty.' and over the
words ''forty-tive ems in length" is
written 1.-The usual Showing that the
bill as introduced purported to increase
the amount Of matter to page, there
by decreasing the rates of compensa-
ton for said work.
Again the new law, the same page
and section, line five, provides that in
computing composition only ''the
surface actually covered" should be
counted, while Jennison informs us in a
marginal note fractional pages count
as full pages in the present law" If
this did not reduce the rates we would
like to know what would.
And SO we will take the second hun
dred.
Third Gone hundred dollars to
show that Jennison put rates in the
printing bill lower than the former
maximum rates. That we have al
ready shown; and if necessary we will
call upon Gen. Hubbard to show that
Jennison prepared the bill and handed
it to him to introduce.
And the fourth hundred is. offered if
we will show that ''we did not write
and print what we knew to be false"
That we have clearly shown.
Now, Jennison, be a man! Acknowl-
edge the corn, and hand over the green
backs. If you do, we will spend the
whole amount in circulating copies of
the ANTI MoNopoL1sr gratuitously
all through the grasshopper region.
Can you. will you hold back when your
little $500 can be the means of doing
so much good to that afflicted people,
more good than you can accomplish in
any other way, even though your life
was protracted until your years out
numbered your lies; and in that event
Methuselah would be a sucking infant
to you.
Will you. my doar General. let that
people stumble on in darkness, follow

ness into intellectual daylight?
For their SAKE we appeal to you to
pay up that 800. Shall we draw on
you; or will you send it by express!
1t is too large an amount to send
through the St. Paul postofice.

show how shabbily Minnesota was
treated in that River and Harbor Bill.
He says: .
''In all for Minnesota. $4,000.

The Candidate in the Second Distric

This paper has more than once de-
clared that it has no desire to attempt
to mould or control public opinion in
the interest of any candidate or clique.
1t does not believe such work to be the
legitimate province Of public journal.
1t will be glad, however. to have all
candidates properly and courteouslv
discussed in it's columns by their friends
or opponents.
We have already published, with great
pleasure, some well-deserved words of
commentator of Hon. E. St. Julien
Cox, Of St. Peter. With equal pleas
ure we copy the following from the
last number of the Shakopee Argus in
behalf of our friend Judge Mcdonald ::
The question that is now being pondered
over by the leading men of the Democratic.

Mcdonald or his friends that any pressure

This is perfect combined two

and is the result and outgrowth of a
long life time spent exclusively in the

valuable improvements have been added
since last year, the most important of
which perhaps is the method of Dining

TIE IMPROVED PRIZE MOWER.
This is unique, easy -draught. close

This machine has long stood at the
head OF the class as the best mower for

We are gratified to receive from Mr..
Wise, the chairman of the executive
committee of the Autobiography party
in the First District, letter in which
he says:
THE apportionment Of delegates to
the Congressional Convention of this
District is made upon the vote for Bar
ton, and is substantially the same as
for the State Convention. Comparing
the. calls you will find that each county
has Is many delegates in one as in the
other; excepting Waseca, where the
State committee evidently made mis-
take in allowing it one delegate, whe n
its vote entities it to four, which we
gave it in the district convention.

as expressed through the ANT1-MoNopo-
LIST. and with many wishes for its sue
cess, am
Yours, &C.,

This explanation will disabuse the
minds of some who thought they saw

ing Republicans, in that District, that
there is large element who did not

tie developed that in one-half of the
county we had no legislative ticket in
the field.
But above all, gentleman. let us be
brethren, in fact as well as name. Let
us rise to the level of our grand oppor-
tunities. Remember it is not aues-
ton Of elevating this or that worthy
friend to office, but of taking step to-
wards reform. Remember that the
members elected from Minnesota NAV
be able to determine, one wav or the
other, the fate Of the great national
measures for the relief of the peonle
now pending in Congress.
Every man is entitled to his ambi.
tons and a man without some desire
to rise in the world, or improve his con.
dition, amounts to but little. But LET
all honorable ambitions be subordinated
to the public good; and above all never
forget that we are part of great North
western movement, soon to determine
the future of national politics.
