them without impropriety, reserving to
themselves. as does Judge Emmett, the
right and duty OF correcting any errors
into which they may have fallen. For
tunately both of these candidates have
to . certain extent put themselves upon
the record, in regard to the power ofthe
Legislature over railroads. Judge Gil
fillan has decided that toe land-graut

Quoted in courteous and respectful
manner, and the firing was hot on both
sides. Mr.. Jones is the better speaker,
but Wilson had fully prepared himself
with facts and figures
Mr.. Wilson, unintentionally no doubt,
misrepresented our position on the f.
nancial question. We have repeatedly
explained that we are not in favor of in
definite expansion or of perpetually ir-
redeemable paper currency. Our reso-
lutions, offered in the Opposition State
convention, commenced as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is admitted that our national
currency should be made to correspond in Ualue
,cith the currency Of the rest Of the ,corld; but
inasmuch as the rate at which foreign coun-
tries are willing to accept our currency in ex-
change for their own depends upon their con-
fdence in our financial stability, the degree of
our prosperity, the amount Of our exports, and
to some extent upon their sympathy or want of
sympathy with our free institutions.
But we held that the true way to reach
specie payments was not by crushing
out the interests of the country but by
promoting them. We said:
Resolued, That in the judgment of this con-
vention the true road to specie payments is
through economical administration of the gov
ernment, reduced taxation, restored prosperity,
developed resources, and increased expectation
of the products of our inexhaustible fields, for
ests and mines.
We wish the debate of Friday night
last could be repeated in all parts OF the
State and before all the people. We are
inclined to think the average conclusion
reached by the people would be, that the
Republican party had been right in the
past butwas wrong in the present, and
altogether wrong for the future.

EMMETT AND GILFLLAN.

Mankato Record
The fact is that Gilfillan is useful man to
the railroads. and the railroad attorneys, who
drew the resolutions, knew it, and it wa
feared that his recent decisions which will take
unjustly, if not illegally, millions Of dollars
out Of the pockets of the people and put it into
the pockets of corporations, would make him
weak candidate against Judge Emmett,
whose decisions were always in behalf Of law,
justice and the eople.-Faribault Democrat
That's good one. Gilfillan railroad judge
and Judge Emmett's decisions always in behalf
Of the people. What pity the editor of the
Democrat Is too young to remember Judge
Emmett's decision com pelling Gov. Sibley to
issue the old five million bonds, to fill the
pockets Of bankrupt corporations, all in viola
ton of law, justiceand decency. The less the
Democrat has to say of Emmetts judicial de-
votion to the peoples interests, or of Justice,
the better for the Democracy.
The foregoing. from the lNankato Rec
ord, is far sample of the recklessness
which characterizes the statements of
many of the Republican newspapers.
If the writer of that article had ever read
the opinion to which he so gliblv refers.
and was capable OF understanding what
he read, he would have learned that the
only question in issue, and decided in
that ease, was whether the State, to
which first mortgage bonds were to be
delivered by the land grant railroads as
part of the security for the five million
loan, were entitled to a preference over
all other holders of first mortgage bonds.
Governor Sibley never denied that any
company which had complied with the
requirements OF the constitution. had a
legal right TO these bonds. but merely
insisted that the State should have a
preference over al, other first mortgage
bondholders. He would further have
learned that there was no question abou,
the particular company having fully
complied with every requirement of the
constitution. On the contrary, such
compliance was distinctly and particu
iarly alleged in the proceedings. anc
was not and could not be denied. Anc
had he pursued the inquiry he woult
also have learned that nineteen-twen
:ieths of the bonds issued to these com
panies had already been delivered. an,
that the preference claimed by the State
would. If admitted. have amounted t
nothing. as there were as matter o
fact. no bonds issued to any party. be
side the State, except, as we are inform
ed. in q single instance, in which tn,
amount was only 3 few thousand dollars
That the decision and the constructio,
then placed upon the constitution. wa
eminently right, and more than ordinari
ly satisfactory in its conclusions, is ap
parent to every one who will take tn
trouble to read it. In tact since the or
ganization Of the State, no one of on
Supreme Judges, has ever written
stronger or more creditable opinion thai

Mr.. BUELL.

There is one remarkable thing in
this canvass; not n single charge has
been sustained against Hon d. l.. Buell..
Neither his political record. his honesty,
his private character or his ability. has
been assailed. The only charge against
him was made by one "Cassiusn Che

able liar). who alleged that Mr.. Buell. had
been a money-lender-a most horrible
charge. in ITSELF But, 10 it turned out
that Buell., instead of lender had been
a borrower. and that he did not even
own the house he lived in.
1t is indeed remarkable that any man
could go through two months of polit-
lcal canvass, and come out perfectly un-
cathed.

GOVERNOR DURANT.

The reports that reach us from all
parts OF the State indicate the great pop
ularity of this gentleman. 1t is evident
that he will run ahead of his ticket
wherever he is known. On the St.
Croix he will poll an immense vote.
An attempt has been made in some
quarters, by republican newspapers, to
represent Mr.. Durant as frivolous
character. His splendid business sue.
cess is the best answer to anv such
charges. Underneath his jocularity
there is a strong substratum of goot
sense and sagacity. He will if elected
and of that we have little doubt, fill the
office of Lieut.. Governor to the satisfae
ton OF the people of the State.
