,rs.C STATE TICslEG.

Shall we adopt the independent state
ticket or nominate full ticket OF our
own? That Is the question. Probably
the gentlemen who manage things have
determined what to do in reference 10
this matter. bnt, il so, they have Kept the
secret we'll. We have been informed that
the Independents would, il agreeable to
the Democrats, withdraw their
electoral ticket and endorse the
Democratic electoral ticket take off
of their candidates from the State ticket
the candidate Tor governor not being
one of thesc--and permit the Democrats
to fill the blanks on the ticket, and after
the election conoedc the United States
whether the gentlemen who control
the Independent party could make
good such contract whether they can
deliver as we'll as promise and it is Just
possible the people might not admire
such trading between party managers.
Besides, in "A reform party, standing upon
high principles. such "A bargain would
look peculiar almost corrupt Il would
be, in tact, shocking. But if the indie
pendents could be induced to meet in
State convention at Springfield on the
21th inst, and formally come into the
Democratic party, the matter could thus
be amicably adjusted; and then all the
gentlemen who are periodically con-
trolling that organization could be
tendcrly cared tor.

THE BETTER PLAN.

of = few miles between Breckinridse and
the line Of the Northern Pacific.-Ainne-

Minnesota should extend at an
early day the st: Cloud and St. Vim
cent branch from Melrose to Glyn-
don. This would be much the Bet
ter plan.-&. Cloud JOURNAL.
Yes, those Minneapolis and St.
Paul chaps, as, they look off to the
northwest, are. apt to overlook the
best region of country in the State
from st. Cloud to ,Fergus-and their
eyes are filled wsth visions of Mani
toba trade. Of all the plans to draw
that trade direct to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, the connection from
Breckenridge to Glyndon seems the
easiest. The farmers and traders of
Douglas and other counties, who
have been drawn hither by the
pledged faith of the State and of
large monied companies to build q
railroad,-what rights have they, pro-
vided Minneapolis and St. Paul can,
by reaching around them, draw the
trade that lies beyond?

The Mork Lane E4press's weekly
report Of the corn trade says: The
grain trade has been dull and unin-
teresting. The imports have been
moderate, and it is doubtful whether
the stocks on hand are as large as
they have been. In England, ware
houses are probably fairly filled, not
outstanding the steady depletion
which has been IN progress since the
end Of 1875. We are now approach
ing period Of critical importance
regarding supplies.
The large feet from southeastern
Europe which has recently been an
incubus on trade has been almost
cleared up, and the stoppage Of ship
ments from ,ce-bound ports must
greatly reduce supplies. Add to
this the diminution of farmers stock
and we can reasonably conclude that
the plethora will shortly be oyer. A
feature of the grain trade now il that
our near Continental neighbors are
not so we'll supplied; and a relaxa-
ton of rates here would lead to a
searching inquiry from there. Alto
gether trade seems healthy, subject
only to contingencies and to more
than usually open weather, and in
creased supplies now seem improba-
