THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS
The New York Tribune saws:

u0 NEW 4Olh IOUftC So o.
In this condition of affairs the two parties
confront earh other for the elections OF the
year preceding the Presidential struggle OF
1876, and larger body Of independent uoters
than .cas crer before kno1cn in the history Of
the country, is calmly looking on, waiting to
see which of them is most sincere and earnest
in its professions of reform. 1t is the polly OF
both parties to ,oin this large and increasing
number Of roters So lar, the Democrats have
only to show, as proof Of their sincerity, the
vigorous and uncompromisingly hone st ad-
ministration OF Gov Tllden; and 10 that, there
is the drawback that his party was, and is,
very far from being united in his support.
And all this illustrates what an ass the
New York Tribune is compared with the
st. Paul DISPATCH, the LIE Sueur Sentinel,
the Farlbault Democrat, the Winona
Herald, &c.; for these worthless, instead
of trying to win these floating poters
with good candidates. good platforms,
good words and good t0orks. propose to
capture them with clubs, horse-whips and
pistols; and if there are any who will not
yield to these gentle influences, they will
forthwith resolve that they are after
greenbacks, and call them "stinking
corpses.'' And this is their plan for
transforming minority into majority
And these be leaders Of the people!

HOW GARRETT>S CRUSADE
WORKS.
le Philadelphia Ledger says:


The railroad war has SO changed the rates Of
on the roads directly engaged in
it or IN competition with them, that land car
rage costs less in some places han water car
riage The Saginaw Courier says that firm
of that city sold million feet Of lumber to 60
10 Boston by way OF Chicago. 1t was found
cheaper to pay the freight by water from Saxi-
nav TO Chicago, and thence by rail TO Boston,
than to Buffalo by water and thence by rail.
When the water routes cannot hold their own
against the railroads for the transportation Of
heavy treights, such - lumb~r. the railroad
war must have got down to pretty nearly what
the miners call the bedrock"
Vanderbilt is now carrying grain over
his four track mammoth road, from Buff
falo to New York, for eight cents per
bushel, tao cents per b1shet los0er than
it s0as ever carried by canal. And the
trains run at the rate Of one car per min.

road is making money.

A SUFFICIENT CURRENCY.

The lega. tender circulation Of the country

gold rises rather than falls. Clearly, contrac-
tom is sot the road to resumption. -Chseago

1t is easy to talk about 3 rag cur
rency:" but gold never has been and
never will be the exclusive currency OF
this nation. 1t is not question Of sub
shutting gold for green backs, for that is
impossiblc; but whether We have too
much currency of all kinds for the needs
Of this great and growing country.
Neither will it do to point to the fact
that money is heaped up in the banks
without any demand for it; for all bust
ness is now cramped and contracted.
The amount Of food that will more than

not how much currency is demanded BY

The Herald ignores the well known
fact that popular disapprobation of po-
lltical party is manifested in two forms:
LIST. By voting for the opposite party;
I'd. By not voting at all.
In every period Of change there are
thousands who, while disguised with their
own party and not sufficiently converted
to vote with the opposite party, manifest
their dissatisfaction by staying at home.
If this dissatisfaction increases, or their
confidence in the opposite party is
strengthened, these non-voters will, the
mex: year, move over into the ranks of
the opposition and give it permanent sue
cess. If, on the other hand, their dissat-
isfaction decreases, or they disapprove of
the course of the rival party, they will
return to their first love.
Now let us apply these principles to
the counties enumerated by the Herald,
and see the result:

Here then were STA Republican vo-
tiers, in the nine counties enumerated by
the Herald, who stayed away from the
polls in 1873, and returned to
the polls in 1874, and voted
the Republican ticket. Now every poll.
tician in those counties knows that large
part Of the absenteeism in 1873 repre-.
scented Republican disgust with the Re-
publican party, and half-hearted sup
port of the Owatonna Farmers ticket.
Nothing indicates the reaction so
strongly as the falling off in the vote in
the frontier counties. Note the newly
settled counties in the following list

HOW TO GET UP A FISHER WAVE

HOW TO GET UPA FISHER WAVE.
The St. Paul DISPATCH. Of June 9th, gives
us funny instance Of how the "Fisher
wave'' is constructed. In its column Of
endorsements Of Mr.. Fisher, under great
head lines, this occurs:
Efficient. Polished and Genial.
From the Kasson Republican,
Fisher is veteran Democrat; editor, efR-
cient, polished and genial in manners.
Now a supplemented man would infer
from this that the Kasson Republican,
Republican paper, was supporting Fisher
for the Governorship, and that, in short,
it was one Of the many indications Of the
great flood. tide of Republicans and Dem
ocrats that was wildly rushing, with tn
multuous roars, to sweep Fisher into the
Gubernatorial chair. Curious to verify
this remarkable utterance Of the Kasson
Republican. we hunted up the paper. and
were shocked to find that its endorsement
Of Fisher petered out into the following
Wouldn't 1t be fun for the Republican party
10 send out few good stump speakers, and
with Pioneer editorials written about the time
OF the war, and show up the loyalty and patri-
otism OF this w0uld-be Governor. Hoio many
soldiers, Of either political party soould feel
honoyed BY the election Of that man to 80 honor

Verify, the DISPATCH is q queer institu.

Here. then, we find that besides the
5,7A Republicans who returned to the
support Of the Republican ticket in the
nine counties named by the Herald in
1874. there were l,746 Anti. Monopolists
who voted for Barton in 1873 who re-
fused to vote for Wilkin in 1874, and an
examination Of the vote will show that
in nearly every case they voted the Re-
publican ticket.
Observe too, the falling of, in one
year, in the Opposition vote in the from
tier counties, the stronghold Of Republi-
canism, and which must be revolution.
lied before the State can be won. In
several cases the Autobiography sentl-
mcnt seems to be literally stamped out
in one year. In Becker county it fell
from IS to nothing; while the
Republican vote rose from All to 57l:
In other words there we're, in the whole
State, $1,000 Republicans who voted
against Greeley in 1872, who refused to
vote against Barton in 1873, and Of these
ii 900 returned to the Republican party
in 1874. Ii we had in 1874 presented the
Reform and Autobiography issue, pure
and simple. would we not have carried
with Us large share Of those il,UO0
votes! And if We had won one-half Of
them would we not have carried the

Now We kn0U that the small Republi

sympathy with the Owatonna ticket; ant
that the increased vote in 1874 indicated
Republican unwillingness to support ,

NOTHING LEFT TO TRADE o.

INVITING LEK IL . 1EADES wv
The withdrawal Of Gov. Davis leaves
the Fishermen nothing to trade on. It
is evident that the Pied. Press, having
driven Davis from the field, will support
the Republican ticket 1t says:
With the assurance that Gov. Davis was not

WORKING FOR FISHERS ELEC-
TION,


The Pied-Press, Fishers organ, on
which Fisher is employed, publishes with
an approving grin the following:
The Minneapolis Tribune suggests the fol-
cratic Liberal Anti -Monopolist Convention
which meets in St. Paul in July:
For Governor-Ignatius Loyola Donnelly:
For Lieutenant Governor-L,yola 1gnatius
Donnelly.
For Secretary of tate-Ignatius Donnelly.
For Treasurer-Lyola Donnelly.
For Auditor-El Paso Donnelly.
Of Nininger.
For Railroad Commissloner-sta Senator
Donnelly.
For Clerk Of the Supreme Court-Farmer
Donnelly.
For anything else that is lying around loose,
ESPECIALLY EXCEPTIONALLY
The Tribune thinks the above will. beyond
all question, command the unanimous APPROX
al OF Donnelly, and stands a lair show OF being
nominated by reclamation, arith strong HI
berniGn accent.
Now all this Ignatius Loyola'' and
ssLoyola Ignatius' business, is simply
meant as an appeal to religious bigotry
and to stir up Indifferent prejudice against
the Catholics. And the closing words
sswith a strong HibeTniG7o accent is /
direct slap in the face of the many thou
sand Irishmen in Minnesota who are ex
pected to vote for Fisher if he is nomina
ted. 1t means that, in the eyes of Fishe
and his friends,it is crime to have Iris
blood in ones veins; and that the mai
ural leaders of Irish Democrats are d.
scended from men who came ovec in tn

TRYING ON NEW DRESSES FOR A
LIvELIuooD-A New York letter to the
Baltimore Sunday News says: "In many
Of our large dry goods stores young ladies'
ire performing in the ready-made clothing
department the duties of director, or
walker" nearly always position filled
by men. 1t is an agreeable change, as
ladies have to try on the ready-mad
dresses, etc. No more amusing sight is to
be seen than ladies trying on these dresses.
The female clerks are selected for their ap-
pearance, and. therefore, are the finest
looking young women in the metropolis,
Invariably tall and slight, so that when
they put on a magnificent dress for the
sake Of displaying it to some probable
customer, they look so elegant that one
cannot but wish they could have the dress
for themselves; the fun is when the would
be purchaser tries it on to see how she
looks in it-a dress designated for tall,
slim girl does look funny on short, fat
cid woman; it seems to me almost all the
buyers are of that class. A girl tried on
no less than twenty-three dresses at Alt
mans. and then didn't make sale.
Waists of dresses are always cut for thin
people, just as shoes are always made for
people with long, narrow feet. There is
some talk of making skirts. only giving
enough material to make waist to at the
buyer, at which fat ladies will rejoice"

DYING AMONG KINDRED.-It is a sad
thing to feel that we must die away from
our home. Tell not the invalid who is
yearning after his distant country that the
air is soft, that the gales are filed with
balm, and the flowers are springing from
the green earth; he knows that the softest
air to his heart would be the air that hangs
over his native land; that more grateful
than all the South would breathe the low
whispers of affection; that the very icicles
hanging to his caves, and the snow beating
against his own windows. would be far
more pleasant to his eyes than the bloom
and yerdure which only more forcibly re-
mind him how far he is from that one dear
spot, dearer to his heart than all the earth
besides. He may, indeed, find estimable
friends, who will do all in their power to
promote his comfort and assuage his pains;
but they cannot supply the place Of the
long loved; they have not learned to com
municate without hesitation all his wishes,
thoughts, and expressions to them. He
thus feels that he is q stranger, and more
desolate feeling than that could not visit
his soul. How much is expressed by that
to1m OF Oriental benediction, MAY you
die among your kindred!'' a
