Ar meeting of the New York
State Central Committee, held Mon
day evening, resolutions We're adopt
ed, sustaining throughout the action
of President Grant in the Louisiana
matter, and setting forth that, even
if what was done was illegal, it was
done without the knowledge Of the
President, and with the sincere de-
sire on the part of the officers Of the
Government to perform simply their
duty.

LOUISIANA Republicans assert tina

LOUISIANA Republicans assert that
the report of the subcommittee goes
outside OF the record, and that no
testimony was brought before them
to show the funding of illegal legis-
Iatiye warrants, the displacement of
judges by Kellogg, or the seizure of
arms by the police without the pro-
cess of law. Theyassert that specific
evidence will be adduced to disprove
these and other allegations of the
committee, which they say are based
solely on the briefs of the Democratic
counsel.

THE OLD FARM GATE.

The old farm gate hangs, sagging down,
On rusty hinges bent aud brown
Its latch is gone. and here aud there,
ltshOws rude traces of repair
The old farm gate has seen, each year,
The blossom bloom and disappear;
The bright green leaves OF spring unfold,
And turn to aGtamn'S red and gold.
The children have upon ii elung.
And. in and out. with rapture swung,
When their young hearts were good and pure
When hope was fair and faith was sure.
Beside that gate have lovers true,
Told the old story. always new;
Have made their vows; have dreamed OF bliss,
And sealed each promise with kiss.
The old farm gate has opened wide
To welcome home the new made bride,
When lilacs bloomed and locusis fair
With their sweet fragrance filed the air.
That gate. with rusty weight and chain,
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her liieess form away,
Upon a dreary autumn day.
The lichens gray and MOSES green
Upon its rottug posts are seen;
Initials, carved with youthful skill,
Long years ago, are on 1t still.
ct dear to me above all things,
By reason %: the thoughts it brings,
Is that old gate. now sagging down,
On rusty hinges, bent and brown.

Since that time until this winter dur

In 1872 wewere rendered the Republl-

nounced our support of Horace Greeley.
The same year we could, we think, have
had the nomination Of the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans of that District ior
Congress, but we positively refused to let
our name go before the convention.

movement and the Owatonna ticket. we
could, we are inclined to believe, have re-
ceived nomination for any office on that
ticket, bit we again positively refused 70
allow our name to be used.
In 1874 we could, we believe, if we had

OFFICE SEEKING.
'bc ST Paul Pioneer saws:


Mr.. DonnelIy's oreraoeening passion TOR o.
fec blinds his eyes to every moral se"s19a'ny'
He is an office -seeking nononaaniac. he re-
ieiously beIieves that every position IN the
nit of every party in the State is a position to
which he himself is entitled, and every man
who is suggested or put forward as a canoldate
therefor against himself he considers nous
ing interloper-a sneaking poacher, as 1t were,
upon this domain.
Let us look at this:
The Pioneer, is laboring to the best OF
its ability to return Alexander Ramsey
to the Senate. Alexander Ramsey has
been an office holder for thirtytre gears.
First he held clerkship IN the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature; then county office
then the position of Congressman from
Pennsylvania; then chairman OF the
Whic State Central Committee; Their
Territorial Governor and Superintendent
of Indian Affairs of the Territory of Min
nesota; then Mayor of the city OF st
Paul: then Governor Of the State OF MIN
ncsota then for six years United State:
Senator then Tor six years more Unitet
States Senator and now he desires to g
back for six years more.
And the Pioneer, doing all it can t
help his reelection, is opposed to US, Dc
cause we are an o6lce.scekerN
Then the Pioneer has another pet
William Window, of Winona. This
his record:
