eidedly uncomfortable by their disagreeable
interference in political matters, the recent
democratic victories in various parts Of the
country where the republican party had

Union, seem to look as though there was
about to be change in American politics.

called forth unqualified deuunciaton from

The resolution of the farmers of the West
to keep out of politics is not likely to be kept.
In Indiana and in Illinois already several
movements with political objects In view
have been started by grangers, and more
are on foot-Boston Journal.
Indeed But when and where did the
FARMERS OF the West" resolve to keep out
of politics ?" And who is better fitted or
has better right to start movements with
political objects in view" than the grangers
Because the grange, as a grange, resolves to
have nothing to do with politics or religion,
we do not expect to see individual members
stay away from church or from the polls.
la fact we mistrust that the more farmers
are brought together and their intellectual
faculties frightened up, as is done at the
grange meetings, the more likely will they
be to see chances for reform in political
matters and to take hold with will to help
GUST dishonesty and corruption in high
places and put honest men at the helm. OF
course il, in doing this, they do not keep
within the established party lines. they will
incur the warm displeasure Of party organs,
but it looks as it these old party lines were
