The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-05-20

The ways Of the Pied Press are past
finding out. It devotes column after col
umn to advocating the nomination of
gentleman for Governor Of the most con-
sentative character, and who only one
year ago declared that all those who de.
sired to oppose the Republican party
must do so under the banner Of the Dem
ocratic party, or not At all; and then it
says editorially with great force Of Ian,
guage:
1.-THE Democracy must look to the younger
and iresher generation within its ranks, with
the ideas ana sympaties of the present genera
ton, for its representative men, instead of b
the antiquated harlots who have grown gray
in treasons, stratagems and spoils; and, above
all, it must not be tenacious OF names, which
are nothing, to the neglect OF principles, which
are everything. It must not say to Liberal Re-
publicans, reform Republicans, disguised Re-
publicans, and to all men who tor reasons sat-
isfact0ry to themselves, desire change, that
they must put their necks under . cxst-iron
Democratic yoke, or remain where they are.
Why, Joseph, that is precisely the doc.
trine Fisher preached one year ago; and
now you denounce the doctrine and ad-
vocate its expounder.
The democracy expect to secure the co-ope-
ration OF those dissatisfied republicans and in
dependent voters Vho desire that the admins
tration of the government shall be restored to
sound constitutional prin iples, and who are
seeking financial, fiscal and civil service re-
form, it Is the democracy which must surrend-
er to this potent element which holds in its
hands the issues OF success or defeat, and it
must accept such conditions as it chooses to
impose, or abandon all hope of obtaining any
aid from that quarter in restoring it to the gov
ernment-The Pied Press.
Not at all. There is no necessity for
the Democracy to surrender" to any
element; or that it should "accept con.
ditions" or abate jot CT title Of its princi.
pies or its pride. All the Liberal ele-
ment asks is Courteous treatment and re-
spectful consideration of its feelings; if it
brings victory it does not expect to be re-
paid with kicks; and above all it will not
submit to any degradation Of its princi-
pies. Jonah must not swallow the whale,
nor the whale Jonah but both by pull
ing together may drag the ship of state
out Of the mud. But if the whale insist s
that there can be no partnership save
with Jonah inside, in process Of digestion
and assimilation, the sooner Jonah packs
his little carpet bag and gets cut the bet
ter for Jonah.

made cripples for liie.-Wright Co. Times.
