A majority of the farmers present
were Republicans, and two or three

MI. Editor, tile farmers are with you.
We are not taking part iii the prejudi-
ces and the spite OF !! few Of the town
people. You are printing one. of the
best papers we eyer saw: You; have
been building up the country, and
drawing settlers exc, while the Ring
men nave Deen holding Office and the
business men who are against you have
Dee'l getting money out OF the settlers
you brought. Go ahead. and we will
support you. We are agreed that we,
will not support by our votes nor by
our custom the men that are trying to
run You out. You>may use my name
in connection with this letter W henever
you wish. i! ;.:" ,LoRAIN.

"A new newspaper at NOrthlngtOn is
the ordcr now, III opposition to the AID
VANCE somehow They have i, good
ae;tl VI tfouDle VIII Their paper, OF edl-
torS, OF something. POOR stevens got
kicked out nncercmonlously, and NOW
II comes "A: r. 8 turn to bust, " but he
doesn't talk us though he was '''going
ZIP" t'st YET. Stevens didn' t suit; Mil
Ter doesn't suit; and we don't know
VINO will. No man is going to suit, and
the new enterprise will find it. out. too.
Stevens didn't suit, but they Thought
Miller would do the thing up brown. -
Miller went to work and he has done it
SO ';broWn" that they are sick Of him.
The only reason for this detection, to be
seen It this distance, is that each one
owned; his own brains, and r,k,e his own
paper. Maj. Bell is understood to be
the new editor, and unless we. greatly
misJndge his character, he will also be
sole owner of his own brains. Things
vii! move smoothly fora while, but by
and by ne will run his paper too ''stout'
or too weak" and tiien ''they" will
hate him us bitterly as they dO'.Miller.
But should he conduct it as this and
that one directs, he will only the sooner
draw the public censure lpon him. a
newspaper enterprise is All expensive
luxury, and before the Major establishes
his paper on Il paying foundation and
solid i'll the public confidence, he will
lind tough ''sliinning g. and dear expert
ence. We have observed opposition
newspapers to considerable extent.
People are always ready with abund-
ance OF MOUTH assistance. but that
Will not pay Tor paper. When the day
comes to pay the money, people find
that 1t is not SO funny. We know a
person WHO was once solicited to start
an opposition paper, III a thrifty town.
PROMISES were abundant; three thou

and do not care anything about it; it is
none of our business. But we venture
the assertion that if the new newspaper
