the Age as follows
81 wish to ask your opinion-now that the
elections are over-as to the propriety of call
ing our National Independent Committee to-
gether at the same time the Farmers meet in
Bloomington in January. am OF the opinion
that the Democrats are convinced by this time
they can never carry this country under that
name, with all their SINS
Therefore if a new party is to be formed for
1876 no time is to be lost We must have a
policy, and an organization around which the
friends OF our reform can crystalize.
Would it not he well tor our committee to
set a time and place for holding a national
convention at as early day as p0ssible?''
From the above it will be seen that the sub
ject of a National Independent Convention is
beginning to attract attention. In answer to
its correspondents the Age will say the COM
mittee is having the subject of the Convention
under consideration and will act the coming
week.
The work of organizing a national party
should be gone at slowly aid surely. The
people are ripe--or will be before March next
to cut loose from their former partizan assOcia-
lions, and attach themselves to some organiza-
ton not SO controlled by capital as to make it a
machine to rob them.-Chicago Industrial Age.
The prospect is gloomy. 1t seems
impossible for the Democracy to win
alone; and equally impossible to trans
fer the Democratic vote to any new or
ganization. In the meantime Grant

To-day's dispatches announce three more
mercantile failures in New York City, and one
bank failure in Newark, N. J. 1t is evident
that the condition of things in the Eastern
cities does not improve. Among the New
York City failures in the last week, one OF the
prominent causes is the shrinkage in value OF
real estate, in which Investments have been
made 10y the individuals Of mercantile firms.
This was the acknowledged cause in the fail
ure OF Lewis J. Phillips and other merchants
who have suspended in the past week. AS the
great decline OF at least4O per cent. i'll real es-
tate in New York has only been definitely es-
tablished within Il past six or eight weeks, it
must be expected that this shrinkage will cause
many more suspensions before the end of the
year. Chicago inter Ocean.

Donnelly says Of seagrave Smith, his late un-
ha ae s saie
papers ale putting the stamp of disapprobation
on Smith. He is unworthy the respect Of any
decent man of any party. God Almighty cast
him in very low nould-and we hope he
broke the mould in disgust when he saw what
he had made'
Now if Donnellys wish has been fulfilled his
chances for a counterpart are pretty slim. But
it strikes us that it is rather severe on the Al
mighty, to lay the works of the devil at His
door. He creates the mould and casts the man
in it; but it's the devil, lgnatius, who after
wards dethrones the man and puts the politi-
clan in.-- Wright Co. Eagle.

j. L. Denman, of Winona, State agent of the
grangers, has been compelled to make an as
signment Tor the benefit Of his creditors, be-
cause many Of the grangers have failed to meet
their obligations to him. Lake City Leader.
We don't believe word OF it. Mr..
Denman imprudently bought large
quantities Of agricultural machinery and
then was not reelected state agent. The
grangers did not fail to meet their obi
cations to him, but he failed to meet his
obligations to those he bought from.
We sympathise with Mr.. Denman; and
hope the state grange will do what it
can to relieve him, for he acted in good
faith but there is no use OF misstaling
the case. The Leader. however, is glad
of an opportunity to strike the despised
grangers.

1t was alike amusing and disgusting, the
three days after the election, to see the sneers
at the grangers by the four large monopoly dali
lies OF this city. The threatened defeat OF Gov.
Tor seemed to delight them clear through.

think they have any thing to expect from the
large city daiiies. The monopoies have them
