be a democratic victory, and we anti
monopolists won't be allowed to be even
a tail to their kite. We will be com.
pletely swallowed up and will have lost
our organization and identity complete

sunk out of sight utterly, and we shall
lose everything. Our only hope Of fu-
ture usefulness lies in joining in with
the republicans and beating the demo-
Gratis so completely that they will see, if
they can ever be made to see anything,
that there is no possible chance what
ever for them ever to get control of
public affairs again; and then, may be,
they will lie down quietly in the grave
their leaders dug for them years ago.

or whether you will be willing to wait

by your principles now, nobody can
doubt your integrity hereafter, but if
you turn about and support Bill Lees

Dear Sir:-It may suit some people
to use the anti-monopoly conventions
to float the democratic ark on to an
ararat Of safety, but it doesn't suit US
anti-monopoiists in this county. We
are competent to run our own conven-
sions, do our own thinking, and select
our own candidates, and We don't want
Mr.. Lees hired men to come to our con .
ventions to fix up tickets for US. Per-
haps Donne!:y can furnish Lee 10000
votes for his ticket, and that Lee did a
wise thing in buying him, together with
100000 copies Of his paper to be used
in this canvass: but the votes won't De
anti-monopoly votes, and that paper
won't serve to make any converts to the
democratic party. Donnelly may be
competent to lead people forward in the
right direction, but he can't expect
them to follow him around after ever
COW that ne &upposes will give him some
milk. We here will vote part of the
temperance ticket, with Messrs. Dixie,
Hough and Edgerton added.
Respectfully, ETC., J. E. F.

Evota Politics.

EYoTA, MIMI, Oct. I'd, 1875.
EDITOR GRANGE ADVANCE:
read your article ON the "Owatonna
Convention" with good deal Of pleas
ure. You think as do, that the DEM
ocrats who came into that convention
had no business there; and when they
controlled it in the interest of Messrs.
Buell. and Emmett, they released anti
monopolists from all obligation to abide
by its action. Did they think us weak
enoug h to swallow whatever dose they
prepared? They had no occasion to
believe so, for we rebelled against the
necessity for doing that when We. de-
termined upon independent action.
For my part, / cannot see how anti
monopolists who respect themselves, can
vote for Buell.. The conduct of the
democratic party towards US, for the
past two years has been arrogant and
insulting. They have abused and de-
nounced US, and then attempted to drive
Us into an alliance. l, for one, don't
propose to be drove, and, although I
confess that it goes against the grain to
do so, I shall vote for Mr.. J. S. Pills.
bury, the republican candidate. The
motive which controls me to do this is,
that the democrats may be punished for
their conduct towards US. This is the
prevailing sentiment in anti-monopoly
circles here, and the republican major
ity for governor in this county this year
| will be apt to reach what it was five or
six years ago.
am sorry to have to say this, for We
| would like to elect Biermann and Ra-
billy. Tuttle and Mccarthy will be
pretty generally voted for by our peo-
pie here, and | do not think there is
any doubt but that Dixie, Edgerton and
Hough will be elected. l do hope that
Hough will be elected. He is an old
soldier, is crippled so as to be unable to
do any active business, and is said to be
an excellent court clerk.
Yours truly, E. S. E.
