The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-06-03
1.-THE Fisher Wave.n

We notice in the last issue of the ANTI
MoNoPoLIsT that Donnelly is not particu-
larly enthusiastic on the "Fisher Wave
--quite the reverse, in fact. 1t is barely
possible that the scheme to make Mr..
Fisher the next Governor is an organized
effort on the part of some of the leading
newspapers Of the State to elevate fel-
low editor. In this view Of the case it
seems refreshing to see some paper inde-
pendent enough to throw down the gaunt-
let of opposition.
The Journal is not an organ for either
party. We are willing to wait the action
Of the conventions, believing that both
parties have more wisdom than the com.
bined editors Of the st. Paul daily papers
Hall and Blakely. As . printer and
old resident Of the State we are willing to
concede to Mr.. Fisher al his most ardent
friends claim for him, but . month Of
Halls fulsome praise and gas is enough to
destroy the popularity Of better man
than Fisher.--FeTgus Falls Journal,
(Ind.)
Fish here, fish there, and fish every
where, peddled out by the political fish
mongers from the troubled pools Of St
Paul. Fried, baked, boiled and raw.
Anything to beat the people and help the
power Of the central cliqucs Of wire-pull-
ing politicians. Let them cry early and
late; the people are fond Of a mixed diet,
and will soon tire Of this ''whoop" and
will in good seasonable time call for coun-
try greens and wholesome and substantial
food Hutchinson Enterprise, (Ind.)
The old "bogus territorial railroad
bonds" ought to be paid-Fisher says so.
The Radical, (Ind.)
The Legislature of State has nc right
to enact laws for the control of railways
Fisher thinks so...-Ihe Radical, lind.
The railroad and whisky rings Of thi:
State have thrown politics to the dog,
and have gone into the independent
dodge-they now talk Of Fisher
Radical, (Ind.)
! The Fisher movement has no strength
beyond . mere personal esteem Of th'
man by every one who is personally &C
quainted with him. His life has not
been among the Office holding class
though be has been a careful watchmaI
Of their peculations and Irregularities.
The movement, if it may be dignifict
by such q name, has been commented
upon favorably BY the newspaper men
who are al acquaintances Of Mr. Fisher
and friends Of his, but there does no. ap
pear to be single instance where it ha
struck down deep enough to be Of force
The Pioneer Press would make it appeal
that there is something here that viii
settle the Governorship without strag
gle. This IS on the assumption tina
there is no Democratic party to unite
and no Republican party to resist. tn
men who arrange the Democratic slatc
and expect the rewards when the politica
Jewels are Ill made up, have rot mad,
their appeaTance in the Fisher camp
The idea that the masses Of either part,
are clamoring for Mr.. Fisher is simply
ridiculous; there is no such clano,
