The disintegratlng faction of the Re
publican party which uses Hotchkiss Is a
mouthpiece, has thought that capital
might be made for it by creating the i'm,
preston that some particular individual
whom it is fancies may for some reason
not be acceptable to the masses, Is seek.
ing nomination for Office. In harmony
with this policy it is now announced by
the Page organ, as though there were
something horrible in the idea-th that
Judge d. B. johnson is to be 1 candidate
for the State Legislature. II this is So
If the people want him to represent them,
they will choose him for that purpose,
without much reference to the wishes of .
halEdozen malcontents; but the fact IL,
they have no idea that Mr.. johnson thinks
Of being candidate. Their hope is to Gre
ate among few hostile feeling upon !
mere supposition, raised by themselves
without any foundation for it whatever.
It is part of their tactics to create false
appearances, and then treat them as real.
The plan won't work,
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1876-08-31
THE PEOPLE ARE SOVEREIGN.

Two years ago an. effort was inside TO
relieve the Republican party Of this coun.
ty from the domination Of q clique, and
it proved successful. Last year the effort
was renewed with like success, although
against the most powerful opposition
This year Republicans know their power
and they will use it as shall seem best
calculated to promote the welfare Of all
concerned. The "Slate" system Of making
nominations has been discarded here.
Candidates under the present regime ale
brought forward by the people, through
their delegates-they are selected with ref:
erence TO their qualifications and peculiar
fitness-not because they have influential
friends, nor because they can be relied
upon to do the work of some few indivld
uals at the expense Of others. Until the
adoption of this new plan in Mower coun
ty politics, conventions were called mere
ly to ratify nominations which had pre-
viously been made by the "managers.'
This fact was concealed as closely as pos
siblc, but it was nevertheless apparent t
close observers. Men who were not II
the ring" found that they had no in
f1uence in shaping the results Of conyen
tions, and yet they could scarcely tel
why. 1t is plain to them now, since tn
work of making nominations is done b!
the conventions. The people regard pub
lie interests when they select candidates
but if the choice is made by clique,
is made with sole reference to individuals
With this view Of the case we, hope Re
publicans will attend the primaries AM
the Conventions that we may have tici
ct 80 strong rs to overcome all local ol
position, and give substantial assistanc
to the National candidates. 80:

There will be an effort in this State e
elect a Democratic Legislature this year
The several Senatorial and Representa-
tive Districts should be very careful In the
choice of candidates, and once having
made nominations should cling to the
ticket with great tenacity. A Democratic
Legislature means q Democratic United
States Senator, and that would not do fol
Minnesota with her $4,000 Republican
majority.
The Republicans Of New York have
nominated Edwin D. Morgan Is their
candidate fox Governor, and the Liberal
Republicans have accepted him ~ their
nominee also which makes srepublican
victory in the Empire State very certain,

POLITICAL.

The Republicans of this county will
soon meet in caucus for the choice of del.
egates to the Convention to be held at
Grand Meadow on the 18th of September
next. Each one of them should remem.
Der that o responsibility rests upon him,
which he cannot manfully shirk. A man
must render some equivalent for the pro-
lection which tho law guarantees to him
- . citizen. Each right which he may
claim is Offset by some duty which he is
bound to discharge. The law confers
upon him the right OF suffrage, and the
interests Of the country require that he
should avail himself of that right con-
scientiously. The present is u time when
men should declare their convictions and
act up to them fully. The great struggle
In which the respective parties are en-
Gagged for political supremacy is one Of
vast importance, and it is one in which
every citizen should bear part. We be.
lieve that Republican principles should
prevail in the administration of the gov.
eminent, and that 1t is our duty to do all
that We may properly to secure the cleo
ton Of Hayes and Wheeler. Conducive
10 this end will be the nomination Of a
good county ticket-because only such
action will secure full and united party
vote. Let the delegates from the several
parts Of the county be representative men
men who regard the public interests as
Of vastly more importance than any that
are merely individual then we shall have
. ticket which will command both the
respect and the support Of all true Re-
publicans.

-Four years ago if any body thought of
Gov. Hayes for the Presidency it was
hardly Gov. Hayes; yet four years ago he
SAID in speech: 1--WE ought to have a
reform of The system of appointments to
the civil service, thorough, radical, and
complete" This is precisely what Gov
Hayes, being nominated for the Presi
dency, now says. And very good opin
ion it is to stick to. We are a triae more
in need Of reform now than we were then
and it is encouraging to find that the Gov
crnor has not changed his mind A Presi
dent in favor of one term, with his lleat
full of civil service reform, ought to 10 .

The Blackfeet in Canada give Sitting
Bull the cold shoulder when he entrcats
them to join him in his warlike enterprises
With characteristic insolence he threatens
them with severe punishment so soon as
he has finished with the Americans. The
Indian subjects of the Dominion have al
ways been treated as subjects and not a
enemies or independent tribes: tits hare
to drag them into a war. Our Govern
ment has issued elaborate Instructions t.
the Sioux Commission. It might have
added one clause: Study the consisten
Indian policy of the Canadians.

receipts so far do not reach one million
dollars. The capital invested in the enter
prise is $8,500,000. The running expen
ses for the one hundred and fiftv:nine
days are estimated by competent judges
to be about 81 100000. Therefore to pay
for itself and return the money advanced
by the government and by private sub
scription to the stock, the gross receipts
must be $10,OO0,0OO. In other words, the

half of the exhibition must be nine times
