Hon. E. St. Jul en- Cox, at Henderson.
HENDERSON. Oct. 18th. 1875.


The Hon. E. St Jullen Cox, spoke here last
evening to highly Intelligent appreciative au-
dence. H commenced by reStating the hard
money and free trade doctrines of the Demo-
cratic party in contrast with high tariff and
monopoly, suppoltrd by the republicans and
proved by luminous argument, that the
Whole course of republican legislation, since
Lincolhs election, has been to make The rlch
richer and the poor poorer. He then paid his
respects to the candidacy on republican ticket,
commencing with the head, J. 5. PiIlsbury He
showed by the Senate Journal that Oh every
question OF reform, Pillsbury's vote was cast
against the interests OF the people and III favor
Of monopolists. Passing On to Mr.. Wilson, the
attorney General who pretends now to enact
the role Of a reform9r within the republican
party, but whose record three years ago Ill the
house of representatives does not tend to great
ly elidear him to the people OF Minnesota. For
W hen motion was made to investigate Seeger
and Mclrath, he that cerberuS OF purity, got up
III his place in the house, and with the greatest
INDIGNATION, deprecated the idea OF doubling
the Integrity OF such high toned gentlemen.
MIR. Cox merely alluded to the unfortunate pc
sition of the present republican state Treasur-
the fact would help the republican ticket this
! fall. The office OF Railroad Commissioner be-
ing an insig niticant one, the speaker enquired,
why mali OF W +. Marshall's position, would
| Condescend to accept such nomination unless
there was niger III the fence somewhere, il
looked as If the tail was going 10 wag the DOG
! this time. Would any citizen have the i'm
I pertinence to enquire whether nominating
the ex governor chad any thing to do will
resusitaang those deunct Rail Road bonds
Was it with view OF bringing that ugly bust
ness before the public again to subtract the III
terest Of certain thigh toned gentlemen, !" tina
he WAS put on the ticket?

The Lieutenant Covernor.-J. 8. Wakefield
by His Neighbors Who Know His
Land Office Record.

WINyEBAGo City, Oct. 20, 1876.
Editor Anti--Nonopoi,st;
The following resolutions were introduced
and unanimously passed at a political meeting
in 10 Daviess within five miles of Blue Earth
City, the home of Wakefield. The meeting
was held October 23d, and the resolutions
were introduced by Mr. Brainard OF Martin
county, Republican heretofore and still.
WuEREAs, The knowledge OF corrupt prac-
tees In public officials is wide spread, and all
good citizens view such practices with loath-
ing; and
WHEREAs, The chiefs of the dominant par
~ in our own State never tail to denouuce
such corrup ions, and always seek counte-
nance in power by promising purity and re-
form; and
WHEREAS, The same party now propose to
Lestow the second office in the State upon =
man who so basely abused n public trust, and
us Receiver at the Land Office in jackson in
this State enriched himself by ertorting I'M
lGwfui fees from homestead settlers: therefore
Resolred. That the nomination of j. B.
Wakefield is an inconsistency so giaring ths t
we cannot excuse it by calling it mistak-, but
must regard it as an insult to a plundered
people, and an indication that corruption in
the Radical Republican party is not superficial
but deep seated.
/ Resolrcd, That in our opinion no man
/ should be so much the slave of party as to
vote for corruptionist or robber, that allegi-
ance to party carried to such extremes is not
compatible with common sense, and that pub
lie honesty cannot become general until men
refuse to vote for scoundr-ls.
Resolved, That. remembering how much
has b en- said by both political parties against
| official corruption, now that we have an op'
portunitv to administer to it prompt, direc'
and effective rebuks. We earnestly ask tbs
good citizens of this State to put their brave
words into veteS
ResolreG, That the man who can deliberate
" vote for J. r. Wakefield bloated as he is in
to greatness and wealth by money sham-lessll
wrung from homestead settlers, should neve
complain of any rascality.

Iwish to call attention through your valua-
bic paper to several acts passed last winter
affecting the farming community. Sec. 70,
chap. 5, Session Laws of 1876, provides that no
town shall levy a tax for town purposes ex-
ceeding two mills; that is held to include town
expenses, roads, bridges, &c. That amount
in an ordinary town will hardly pay the town
expenses and provide for the roads and bridges
So that no town can build town-house, in
dulge in the luxury OF q lawsuit, or do any
thing out of the ordinary course, without y
special act Of the Legislature.
The law authorizing the formation Of town
insurance companies, excludes the most popu-
lous portion OF the State, and was good job
for the stock companies. 1t ought to BIZ
