The anti-monopolist., 1874-08-06
THE REVOLUTION SPREADING

In Otter Tail county the light is at
last breaking.
We print below, from the Fergus
Falls Journal, of the 30th inst. an in
teresting account Of the organization of
the Anti-Monopoly party in Otter Tail
county.
The Journal has hitherto been a
leading Republican paper in Northwest
ern Minnesota it's editor, Hon. A. j..
Underwood, having, in 1870 and 1872,
served in the Legislature, from Hennepin
county, with great credit and honor to
himself and constituents.
We are glad to zee that he is deter
mined to trample upon the old ties and
prejudices which too often hamper the
best of men, and devote himself to the
great work Of protecting the, people
from their enemies. He is right; the
same great principle underlies this
struggle that sanctifed the movement
against slavery, to-wit, the love of
justice and right; the golden rule of
the Saviour: land whatsoever thou
would ST that men shoulddo unto you,
do We even so unto them.
We are battling for the great gospel
Of "FA1R Play The other day it was
preached for the benefit of the black
man of the South; let it be preached
to-day for the benefit of the white man
Of the north.
We give below the proceedings of the
convention, and the comments of the
Journal upon them:

L1cAN COUNTY BOARD ALL Go OVER

REVOLUTION.
At a meeting held in Fergus Falls on Mon
day evening OF this week, which was char
| acterized with considerable enthusiasm, an
organization was effected for Otter Tail
county, under the name and style of the
Anti Monopoly party. That such Demo-
| Gratis as Ed. NJ Wright, Robert Miller, Jas
NJ. Gray, and Mil. r. Lowry were present,
will he counted nothing strange; but when
| It is stated that of the County Board, which
| was in session, and composed (all but one)
of staunch Republicans, there were present
| }. Schwab, II. Juleson, H. H. Hall, and
| Jos. Zimmerman, it will be seen that the
movement is no joke, and will be likely to
create considerable commotion in the county
! A committee of the meeting have is
sued call for County Convention
which we print elsewherejn this paper,
On Tuesday II. Juleson, one of the
Republican County Committee, resigned
his position in very frank and posi-.
tive letter, which we print below, and
it is rumored that more designations are
to follow.
