nominate that gentleman. We re-
gard him as much more deserving of
anti-monopoly support than Mr.. Bu-
Ell, and infinitely more than Mr.. En-
NETT. He is simply not popular,
but he was one of the first and tru-
est anti-monopolists in the State.
What astonished us was to see the
democrats in that convention, who
profess to be anti-monopolists, stand
ing by Mr.. Buell., who is hardly en-
titled to be called a nominal anti
monopolist, and readily giving up
Mr.. Jones, whose record entities
him to the first place on their ticket.
But, then, Buell. is an "old-line"
Bourbon democrat and Jones is not.
We hope that none of our readers
will object to the ticket we have hoisted
at the head. of our columns. We regard
it, with several exceptions, as a very
good selection of candidates, and we in
tend to vote for such Of them as we
deem most fitting for and worthy of the
respective positions for which they are
nominated. We hope that our readers
will do the same, and that all of them,
and the people of the state generally as
we'll, will vote for Mr.. Dixie for treasur
er, as that is IN important Office and
ne is known to be worthy to fill it. We
would, also, he pleased to have a ma
jority of the people vote for Gen. Ed
gerton and Sherwood Hough. They are
both known to be deserving men and
good officers
The Pioneer-Press says that the at
PENDANTS of the late Owatonna conyen-
ton are set of "blatherskites, as des-
titute of character and influence as of
sense If David had only said of US
that we are as destitute of s'character
and influence as himself, we should
have felt insulted; but, as it is, we are
complimented, for we know that the
anti-monopolists there assembled are
endowed with an extra quantity of good
sense, and we are glad to know that
their character and influence is equally
extensive.
l. will be perceived that they have in
vented an entirely orig inai financial scheme,
including, in addition to the raggedest Of
rag money, proposition to fund U. S.
bonds ut $50 per cent. and make these
bonds subject to state and Local TAXATION
Pioueer-Press.
"Fund U. S. bonds,'' David? Tut,
tut, man; who ever heard of funding
bonds ? It is debts, not bonds, that are
funded. You must read W. F. Sto-ey's
articles more carefully before you at
tempt to use them; or you will make the
old man appear ridiculous.
The Hastings Union thinks that
the denomination of Buell. by the rural
districts and the placing in the field
of such a ticket as the present. settled
the St. Paul ring. Does not the party
organization still remain in The control
of Messrs. Lee, Rice, and other trading
politicians? The candidates do not
control the party managers, but are
controlled by them.

Why, David, nobody has ever doubt

state, since your return from Chicago.
Even the little boys answer that conun-

Don't get jealous, friend.
