A Letter From Wright County.-An

MONTICELLO, June IA, 1870.
Editor Anti-Monopolist:
In your issue Of June 10th, in your
comment on Mr.. Blair's communication,
you say: 1--WE are glad to see that there
is one statesman able to appreciate the
length and breadth of the powerful Anti.
Monopoly sentiment which now sways
the agricultural classes of the United
States, and of which the Grange organi-
cation is but faint expression" 1t is
with no captious spirit draw your at
tention to the truth of the last clause of
the sentence, as | sincerely Wish the
Changers God speed. But pardon US
outsiders il we cannot see the harmony
Of your preaching and your practice. In
your own and other papers, We repeated.
" see resolutions and speeches declaring
the Grange to be . farmers institution,
and for the farmers only. In the face of
facts presented to US, these speeches and
resolutions look to us as the very essence
Of irony. Instead of an honest farmer as
Grand Master, you have chosen drug
gist, a man who has no sympathy with
the farmers or Anti-Monopolists but as
they can raise him to place and power.
He openly worked for the election Of
King. and consequently for the re-elec.
ton Of Ramsey last fall. He claims he
had a right to, a right do not dispute.
/ merely wish to show that the Grange
there at least did not aid the Anti-Mon-
opoiy party, as the votes On the Senator
ial question by the Granger sent from
this county, last winter. and the action
Of other prominent Changers, will sufic-
iently proTe. So you see the Grange
expressions was on the other side of
the fence. All we ask of the Urangers is
little consistency. While they claim to
be opposed to all Monopolies, they have
aided and abetsed . government IN the
most gigantic Monopoly ever imposed on
civilized people. No doubt they have
cut off few Of the small rills, but the
great fountain-head of Monopoly IS send
ing its thousands Of streams through
the length and breadth of this great Re
public, deluging our fair land with
mortgages, and in . great many places
with extreme poverty. See Pennsyiva-
MAS sons IN their struggle for bread.

robbed of the rich and gave it to the poor.
Here the government has reversed this
order, by robbing the poor and giving it
to the rich. One thing is certain. Il We are
to get reform soon, like it or not, It must
be through the Democratic party And
those who are honestly IN favor Of reform
viii hardly qrible about the name Of the
party, whether it is Wing or Tory, Dem

Attention is called to the advertisement
in another column Of the Sherman House.
A great many people have the idea when
they come to the city they must 60 :
$500 house, or otherwise put up with
what they can get.
This is mistake. You can get every
thing at this house you can get any
where in the city, and at the moderate
cost Of $500 per day.
The house has been thoroughly over
hauled and repaired this spring, and is
kept by two of the most accomplished
landlords in the State. When you visit

LAKE CRY, June 18th, 1875.
Editor Anti Monopolst:
With what pertinacity the Pioneer
Press advocates the election of Mr..
Fisher, with Halls obscure sheet playing
second fiddle. Now, so far as the
Pioneer Press is concerned we could not
reasonably expect anything better, com.
ing from the source it does, but
we certainly gave the Dispatch credit for
something better than being roped in and
swallowed up by Ramsey and his hire
lings. Any one who has been conversant
with Mr.. Halls course for the past six
months will have good cause for thinking
that he is not honest, POLITICALLY speak
ing, for the reason that he opposed Ram.
sey for United States Senator, last win
ter; and soon after his, (Ramsey's,) de-
feat, his organ, the Press was consolidated
with the Pioneer, thereby presenting the
old wire puller, before the people under the
guise of a Liberal Republican, with Fisher
for stool pigeon, and now the Dispatch
gets down and blows his horn for the
same clique that he opposed at that time.
What consistency! In view of all this it
don t seem possible that the people can
be deluded into the belief that the Dis.
patch is honest in the position it now
takes.
Mr. Hall, the Pioneer Press, and the
whole caboodle will find to their SORROW
that Mr.. Fisher don't aodre vorth cent
in this county, although they may croak
until doomsday It will avail them
nothing. The people are waking up to
the fact that in order to accomplish the
one great object, namely to crush the St.
Paul, ring, they must pull together. and
everywhere the ball is moving in
the right direction, and will continue to
do SO despite the howlings Of Ramsey S
combined machinery. We think, with
out doubt, that the Opposition will sec
the necessity Of bringing up a candidate
outside Of st. Paul, for who is there
among the voters Of this jurisdiction who
has not experienced quite enough of their
law giving propensities.
We have plenty of good men in the
ranks of the Opposition. Let US unite on
some candidate whose known honesty and
integrity is his passport. Let the watch
word be down with the ST. PAUL RAMSEY
RING. LIBERAL.

Editor OF Anti-Nonopolist:
DEAR S1R--Being friend Of the cause,
and fearful that our people might make
mistake at the convention, called July
It'll. for the purpose Of putting in nomin-
alton State officials, thought would
give you my views in regard to this
Fisher movement. It originated II the
Pioneer-Press Office, and was concocted
by Wheelock and his thievish monopoly
associates. The idea Of that st. Paul

Of their own number, and man that has
been known to have worn . collar around
his neck with chain attached and held
BY the railroad monopolists, he is not the
man for the honest yeomanry ef Mime
sofa. The proposition is perfectly pre-
posterous. And in the next place there IS
not ghost Of show for him, if nomi-
mated, to be elected; or any other man
that is known to have been or to now be
connected with that St. Paul Ring. The
coming Opposi ton candidate must Be :
