REVOCATION OF POWERS OF AT
TORNEY,
% 81. Paul Dtspatch Of Iuesdov.

From tie s.. Paul Di.patch Of Tuesday.
To-day there has been recorded in
the Secretary of States Office, four le-
gal documents addressed ITO all to
whom these presents shall come, greet
ing" revoking certain powers of at
torney granted to Hon. Geo. L. Beck
er, as one of the trustees for the sale
of lands of the St. Paul & Pacific rail-
road company, held in trust for the
payment of certain bonds of the COM
pany. Heretofore Mr.. Becker has
been acting alone under a power Of
attorney for the other trustees of the
company in the sale of these lands,
but now that Hon. Edmund Rice, one
of the trustees, has commenced pro-
ceedings of foreclosure, this power
has been revoked. The only effect of
this revocation is that no disposition
of these lands can now be made with
out the acquiesence Of all the trus-
tees under the several mortgages.
The first of the mortgages affected by
this revocation is dated June first,
1862, for 81, 100000, and is signed by
Samuel J. Tilden of New York and
Edmund Rice and Horace Thompson
of St. Paul. The second is for 49,
100000, of date Oct. list, 1865, and
signed by George T. M. Davis of
New York and Horace Thompson.
Both of the above cover lands on the
Branch Line, the two following being
for Main Line lands. The third is
for $3,0O0,00O, dated March 1st,
1864, and signed by Horace Thomp'
son and Edmund Rice of St. Paul,
and Samuel j. Nlden of New York
The fourth is dated July list, 1868, is
for 100000, and is signed by Sam
uelJ. Tilden of New York, and Horace
Thompson of St. Paul.
These several documents have tc
be recorded in all the counties il
which are any of the lands covered
by the respective mortgages.
While the legal effect of these doc
uments is only as stated above, it il
probable that their real effect will b.
to tie up the lands until the litigation
from which they sprang, is ended.

bounds of decorum and be made to nav ;

TO THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND
DISTRICT.

The honest voters Of the Second
Representative District, whether Re-
publicans or Democrats, should feel
it to be duty to defeat Wendlin
Merz, the Democratic nominee for the
House. Every man in that District
should feel a personal pride for the
good name of his District, in labor
ing to secure so eminently desirable a
result. Merz should be defeated not
because he is the Democratic nominee,
but because he is an unfit person to
send to the Legislature. There is no
interest of the District or of the
county that he is DESTROYS to serve
He is simply tool in the hands Of
the Clarke & Mcclure Ring, nomi-
mated for their benefit and to be elect
ed, if possible, to do their work. He
is utterly without principle, and his
election would be disgrace to the
Second District and to the county.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER,

If the people in the City and Town
Of St. Cloud who feel an interest in
having an honest, intelligent, trust
worthy business man to look after
their interests in the Board of Coun.
ty Commissioners do their duty as
they should, Mr.. John H. Owen will
be elected by a large majority. His
fitness and honesty are unquestioned.
No person can object to him on any
score. He is, by all odds, the best
candidate in the field. Let politics
be discarded, and let every man who
would see the affairs of the county
economically and properly admins
tered, vote for John H. Owen.

MRS. sWISSHEI.M GIvETH
SLY DIG.

The Chicago Times in reporting
the doings of the Women's Suffrage
Association last Wednesday, publish
ed an abstract Of a lengthy address
by Susan B. Anthony on "The Moral
Power of the Ballot" with this para
graph following:
Mrs. j. G. Swisshelm next took the
stand. She didn't agree with every
thing Miss Anthony had said. There
were more men willing to give women
the ballot than there we're women to
ask it. 1t had always been her desire to
get law emitting tax-paying women
to vote, but they had objected. If it
was in her power to give all women
of the country the franchise to-mor-
row, she would not speak the word.
She believed in enfranchising a few at
time ON special subjects in which
they were interested. In her opinion
the suffragists had asked too much.
They have drawn their bow at the
sun, and may probably hit the moon.
The speaker liked men better than
she did women. The women hadn't
asked for the franchise rightly; if
they had, it would have been granted.
If they would not declare that they
would not pay taxes unless permitted
to vote, but would just ask for the
right to vote every time they pay
their taxes, they would be more likely
to have the privilege accorded them.
Here Mrs. Swisshelm said: IF the
women would only sit down by the
| side Of the men-they might even sit
on one of their knees-and ask for
their rights, they would be more like
ly to receive them" This was follow.
