Joseph, why will you strain Gods
holy truth in that way? You know
you created the foregoing statement out
Of whole cloth. We viii give 800 to
any charitable object you may dcsig-
nate, if you will produce title of evil
dence to sustain your statement. But
you can't, you kno W you can't. Joseph,
you did, you lied-you did-you know
you did. at
Two years ago Joseph was sure we
wanted the nomination on the Republi-,
can ticket for Congress in the Second
District. He was thunderstruck when
just as the convention assembled, ready
to nominate us, VIC came out in letter
expressing our determination to support
Horace Greeley. o@.
Then Joseph said, '.He wants the Lib
eral Republican and Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress; that's what he's
AFTER .st4
But when the convention assembled
he was once more covered with aston
ishment. We not only did not ask the
nomination; we rcsolutely refused it.
Then said Joseph, Nov know what.
he's after, he wants to run for Gov
ernor.o And he so prophecied. But
| 10! when the Owatonna convention met,
| in 1873, We were not candidate; and
Joseph was more perplexed than ever.
But pluckins up courage, he has tried
it again, as above.
Joseph, possess your soul in patience;
we are not candidate for any Office.
We believe in the Grange doctrine, that
the Office shonld seek the man, not the
man the Office. We believe moreover
that the people should rule, not the
federal otice-holders' bags, as
heretofore.
There is. however, one office we
acoattd like to fill, and that is, the Office
of Undertaken to the corrupt Rings
Monopoly Party which now dominates
this State. We hope at the next cleo
ton to deeently bury them, big thieves
little thieves and all, so deep, that
Gabriel will have to. bore an artesian
hole to their graves. before the horn of
resurrection will sound in their ears.
One Of the cpitpahs on Shakespeare was
in these words:
Renowned Spenser, lie 8 thought more nigh
TO learned Chaucer; and rare Beaumont lie
A little nearer Spenser, to make room
For SHAKESPEARE III your thfee-fold, four-iold
tomb.
To lodge all four in one bed make shift
Until doomsday; for hardly will fifth
Betwixt this day and that by fate be slain
For whom your curtains may he drawn
again"
And when we bury the Ring we viii
put.over them some similar inscription
for instance:
Renowned Short Horn, lie a thought more
nigh
The Sacred Cow; and sweet O'Driscoll lie
4 little nearer Short Horn, to make room
FOR Joseph, in your three-fold, four-fold
tomb,
To lodge ali four in one bed rake shift
! Until doomsdav; for hardly will q fifth
Betwixt this Gay and that by fate be slain
For whom your curtains may be drawn
again.
And what a sweet bed-fu'l they will
make. The two lean kline, Joseph and
Frederick, sandwiched between the two
fat kline, Short-Horn and the Sacred
Cow. And how fragrant their bed will
smell, for the great poet tells us:
'.I'he actions of the Just
| Smell sweet and blossom in the Iust >,
