and confident hope as to the result of the
national election. To-day, the month oil

and long ago given up in dispair, are
sending unexpected encouragement. Re-
publicans are at enormous disadvantage in
most of them. but they appreciate the
fact that their only hope Of Improvement
lies In the maintenance of republican
administration, and they have given evil
dence of their purpose to make their pow
er felt to its full extent. If they succeed
not less than four Southern States, and
perhaps FIVE, will give their vote for Hayes
and Wheeler on Tuesday next. The
great central States and the West are
ablaze with enthusiasm. II there were
some doubtful and dlscordant notes after
the Indiana election, they are heard nc

work after the exciting contest of Octo.

were brought into line again speedily, and

From New York comes the best of al

OF NEW YORK.
The Last Card.

Pillsbury, the chairman OF the demo-
cratic State committee. has issued pri-
vate circular to the democracy, probably
the last he will issue while in that capacity
Coming so soon after Tilden's letter, it
seems like the expiring agonies of very
young cow, in imitation of the Older men,
bers Of the family. The circular is very
modest, indeed. when 1t is remembered
that the democrats have just been buried
under majority of fifteen thousand in the
State Of Maine, with a prospect of having
that largely increased on Tuesday next
But it Is well that republicans should know
what the enemy is doing, and we publish
below the recent circular. While there is
the least sign of activity in their ranks, it
behooveth republicans everywhere to give
one day more TO their country, and not
lose In November the fruits of the mag
nifcent victory OF September.
The following is verbatim copy OF
Pillsbury's letter:
DEAh DIX .-ACCOTuIUx 10 Jnt present
outlook the election of TILDEN & HEN
bricks is assured. 1t is clearly our duty
and for our interest as a party to throw as
large a Democratic rote in Maine as poSsi-
Die. Our opponents are disheartened. to
some extent demoralized, and wiA not cast
a vote 80 large as in September By many
thousands. They will not expend money
to bring home absentees nor to bride vot-
ers, as at the last election, nor will they
resort to coercion aud intimidation as they
did then.
Merit year t0e must redeem the State, AND
ALL WE REDUCE THEIR MAJORITY NOW
THE BETTER OUR CHANCES WILL BE THEN.
Every republican who can be induced to
vote with US can be relied upon hereafter
with the general government in our hands
Every vote we cast will help to swell the
popular majority for our candidates in the
Nation.
Rally, therefore, and labor actively and
earnestly to bring out every vote. Or

In remarking upon the letter, the Ban
gor Wing says: 1.-The document is headed
with picture of cannon, probably as a
reminder of the writer's military services
at kingfeld during the rebellion" The
secret letter was received by gentleman
in Bangor. who didn't rally worth cent
for Tilden and Hendricks. and thus it
passed into the hands of the Wing.

The policy ofhome insurance compan-

Red Wing Republican from the town OF
Leon in Goodhue county:

ino towns have associated themselves together

law Of 1876 authorizing the formation Of town

"DINaH" TOUNG.

The Rochester Record is mistaken as to the
cause OF our absence from the Owatonna Con-
vention. We were not there because We had
no business there, and because We could not
afford to spend time and money, when we
would accomplish no good for Ourselves or
others. - Grange Advanee.
Young is like the old deacon and the
Maine Liquor Law he is in favor OF the
yreenback theory, but opposed to put
ting it in force. He reminds us Of an
anecdote:
"Old Dinah" was shouting colored
saint in South Carolina who always yell
led "glory" louder than one else in the
congregation. When the collection was
taken up, it was Dinah's invariable Gus
tom to throw her head back. shut her
eyes and sing away for dear life the
HYMN usual on that occasion Fly abroad
thou mighty gospel" but she mover put
ANYTHING into the plate. The able col.
lector observing this practice stopped
one night right in front OF Dinah. and
holding the plate under her nose. said
Now look ahear, Dinah. what's Dc
use OF singing Fly abroad, dou mighty

/ Young is satisfied that the mighty gos
pei Of greenbacks should fly abroad. bu

afterthought that was :-'sor others!'
i We will put a prophecy on record I
wit that Young will support the Re

should adopt the strongest kind Of con

good and sufficient reasons for tha

and when the lady goes to purchase pair q
shoes instead of paying ten dollars for them
she pays thirty per cent more for interest, OF
thirteen dollars. And this applies to every
thing we buy. ].
Interest is tackled upon every pound Of
groceries we take into our kitchens, every gar
ment we wear upon our b,cks, upon our tax
bills, our church pew, and upon our graves.
Our railroads cost double what they should be-
cause OF enormous interest. There is ten par
cent at the furnace, ten per cent at the rolling
mill, and so on until q railroad represents two
dollars for every dollar that has been invested,
and consequently there are two dollars to be
supported by the industries Of the country
when there should be but one. The result IS
that every passenger who rides must pay dono-
le fare and every pound Of freight which is
transported must pay double rates. Thus ths
matter of interest is a two edged sword, which
generally cuts both ways.

BEGINNING TO SEE II.

After time Constantine accepted the
Christian doctrines which had been
preached for generations in the humble
homes of the poor; in the catacombs and
in the places OF torture. He took the
most degrading implement Of death
known to the ancient world, and painted
it on his imperial banner. and in that
sign he conquered.
One of the coldest- -blooded tools of the
moneyed aristocracy Of this country IS
Senator John Sherman OF Ohio. Able,
adroit, shrewd and inscriptions. he has
done the bidding of Wall street. until, it
report speaks true he hasaccumulated an
immense fortune. He has mocked at the
financial theories of the yeomen Of the
west and CALLED them madmen. infia-
tionists, communists, and what not.
But at last he begins to see that the des'
pised doctrines are certain to triumph
and so, the other day in debate, in the
senate, he said, speaking upon the
specie resumption bill:
In his opinion there were but two things
more needed to make this perfect financial
measure. They ought to authorize any holder
of greenbacks to convert them into per cent
40 gear gold bonds and to exchange our 6 PEI
cent bouds for four per cent ones, and the'
snec;e pnvncnts nould come without ripple T.
the currcnt.
Now WHY is this not donep Why arr
specie payments not achieved .'withou

sisting in useless, cruel, impracticabl
plan which is destroying our people?

not use it is criminal.
