He said that Halleck was O competent witness.
No crime had been proven against him, and his
declarations made in the absence Of Brown Ii was

That was the competent testimony.
He then read from different works to show that

Editor anti Monopolist:
The grasshoppers are upon us again.
They commenced flying last Saturday but
did not light here; they came from the
north east and went to the south west On
Monday they came back and lit all over the
country; but did no damage in this county,
except in the neighborhood Of shetek and
along the Des Moines river, where am told
they have taken everything; but it is to be
hoped that the people are more scared than
hurt. They are flying up till noon to-day
in large quantities but are not lighting, but
an hour more may see us in utter ruin:
People are preparing to smoke some OF
their meat Crops look fine, though we
have had no rain at all for three weeks.
The streams are almost dry; the people are
all hopeful but if our crops are destroyed
this wear Mlnnesota's frontiers will be de-
serted; it will be exchanged for stock in the
Black Hills on easy terms; will tell you the
terms next week.
Yours Respectfully,

h0Yinu Man

4 Scandinayian's Views about the Grange
The Farmers the True Friends OF the La
boring Man. ,-
Ed. Anti-Monopotst
wish to state through your paper some
aacts.
We have heard the cry for the past two
years from the Republicans, that the Grange
was formed for the purpose of reducing the
wages of the laboring classes, so as to get
sheir help for merely nothing Now |, as a
Iaboring man, deny the charge. The Grange
was formed to do away with the useless
middle men; to get machinery cheaper and
thus enable the farmer out of his prosperity
to pay his hired men more. Bnt the Re-
publicans are on the alert for the poor Sean
dinavians and tell them they will get his
papers for him if he will only vote the Re
publican ticket, and it will cost him moth
ing. am a scandinavian myself, and they
have tried the same trick with me, and with
others | know Of They get his vote. then
they put his wages down to merely nothing,
because he is ignorant of the ways of the
country Thus they use him as tool &c
work his own ruin. Now on the other hand
the Changers have taken them, given them
good wages, and they are putting down the
taxes and railroad fares and rates, that they
may be better able to pay more wages still
And would say to my brother countrymen
rally around the ballot box the coming cleo
ton, and vote the Anti Monopoly ticket ant
stand up for our rights and those who arr
friends to our rights.
Yours. II. II

responsible position? Is there any other |
reason to give, than that the monopolists
demanded this concession so az to secure |
them against the efforts Of the people to pro-
tect themselves from oppression? II
Look at the platform. Its first resolution
is nonsense Nobody supposes that the repeal
Of the late amendments to the federal con-
stitution is either practicable or desirable.
The financial plank is as ambiguous as any
thing can well be. Our present currency
system has a s.specie basis" and it is not
D ossible to conceive of one that has not. Spe-
Gle (gold) is the standard Of value in the
commercial world, and all currency systems,
to be disable, must be based upon that stan
dard. What we want is currency ex-s
chanrable for specie at par. Why didn't
the Democratic Liberal Convention say so :?
The tariff plank. though the best Of the lot,
really means nothing. A tariff for revenue
may be oppressively protective, if the du-
ties are imposed chiefly upon certain classes
of articles. Why did not our Democratic
Liberal friends tell us what classes Of arti-
cles should pay duties and what should not?
AS for the rest of the platform, it amounts
to nothing, and may be accepted by almost
anybody without doing violence to their sen
timents.
Can Anti Monopolists consistently sup
port the platform and ticket that our DEM
ocratic Liberal friends have fixed up? Ger
tainly not We must have something more
definite in the way Of an enunciation OF
principles, and our candidates must be men
of more pronounced views. do not know
of a single Anti Monopolist who will sup
port the St. Paul ticket, and were it to be
endorsed at Owatonna it would hardly
receive q thousand votes in Olmsted county
Even the Democrats here do not advocate
it with ordinary zeal, and have no hope that
it will receive even respectable majority
vote. They look like men who are con
scious Of having done mean thing and
been caught at it, and are angry with them
selves and everybody else. :.
And now comes the question: why dle
they call that 7th of July convention! The,
knew that they could not combine all thu
elements of the opposition" under the lead
ership This lesson had been sufficiently
taught them by years OF experience. Why
not heed it? They also knew that the oppo'
sition could and would be united under the
Anti Monopoly banner, if they left the field
Why, then, did they hold q convention
Isn't it palpable that their real purpose wa
to divide and defeat the opposition? To M
this is clear, and the more so when ret1ec
that the men engaged in it, the wire-work
ers, are deadly hostile to the principles 0
the Anti Monopoly party. True, some good
true men have been deceived into giving |
countenance and encouragement, but thos
who are at the bottom of the matter are un
scrupulous demagogues and traitors

ests of their fellow citizens.

Editor Anti Monopolist:

a. IN. they come in clouds, almost covering
the face of the earth. We thought perhaps
they were only passing over, SO my little
boy and myself got our horses out, and took
a rope 200 feet long. and rode through our
grain fields, dragging the rope between the
horses until we saw it was OF no USE Then
we went to drawing old hay, and sniudging
the field with smoke. But it was all to no
purpose; they would not be driven. They
have been coming ever since. There are
thousands now where there was not one on

grain on my place this morning that
is not covered with them. In three days
more there will not be a green leaf left

deposite their eggs here now. There are
people here that must starve. They have
been about as near to it as necessary this
summer: but they had just begun to get
plenty of garden stuff to eat.

Republican Opinion Of Mr.. Buell..

The Minneapolis Mall (kep.) OF the
9Th. contained some interviews with
prominent Minneapolis gentlemen, in
re gard 70 the nomination OF D. L. Buell.,
from which we extract the following:
The reporter CHANGED to meet Messrs.
Loren Fletcher and Dan. E. Eyre last
evening in conversation together. Mr..
Fletcher made inquiry as to the result Of
the convention of the Mail reporter, and
was informed OF Mr.. Buells nomination
upon the first ballot.
ITS . good nomination. said MIR.
Fletcher.

and with the reporter the gentleman en-
tered into very general discussion OF
the good qualities of Mr.. Buell.. Both
served in the house with Mr.. Buell., and
know whereof they speak, Said Mr.
Eyre, Hes good, straight haired man.
and the Republicans will have to put up
a good man or shall vote for him, but
if Mr.. Pillsbury is nominated Of course
shall vote for him, though shall hate

Mr.. Fletcher spoke Of Mr.. Buell. as an
s.unassuming man OF considerable abili-

of education, and altogether good

or two years legislative experience with
MIR. Buell., was also informed BY the re-
porter of Mr. BIS nomination. To the
inquiry of the reporter IS to the manner

ONsrEp County. July 18th, 1870.
Editor Anti Monopolist:
hereby give you notice to renew my
subscription for your paper tor another
twelve months; and what is perhaps still
better | herewith enclose sufficient amount
Of greenbacks to square up my account
with the ANrI-MoNoroLIsT.
Many of your readers lereaway are
well pleased with the hearty approval you
have given the nominees of the Opposition,
made ut ST. Paul, on the 9TH inst. While all
are willing to admit that the men nam
ed on that ticket are ..good and true and
we'll qualified to fill the respective offices
for which they have been designated. yet,
few discontents will oppose endorsing
those nominations at the Owatonna Conven-
ton ON the 2oth inst, and thus foolishly do
what they can to prevent union of all the
opposition 10 the dominant party. The
principal objection that these impracticables
urre against endorsing the ticket nominated
at ST. Paul on the 18th inst, appears to be
because these men were first selected by o
committee composed largely Of individuals
who are classed as Democrats and Liberals
We are told by these extremists that it does
not make so much difference who the men
sre. as who first nominated them. Surely
that smacks too much Of bigotry and pre-
iudice to carry any weight or force, ane
fails to convince the minds of men who arr
earnestly seeking reform Let us zee If TIT
Democrats and Liberals have not heretofor'
exhibited mere liberality and less partisan
ship than is proposed by these men whi
make great pretensions of . disregard 10
