Vote for Beard for Representative.

The following. is from the Faribault corres-
pendent Of the Litchf.ld Independent:
The last few weeks have worked a wonder
full change in the political sentiment Of this
country. In towns, which six weeks ago but
small band of Greenback men could be
found, to-day will give a majority for the
greenbasx ticket. From all portions Of the
country the good news comes in, that the peo-
pie nave ut last come to see that their only
hope for financial salvation is the greeuback
party, and those who have been the greatest
sticklers for party, are coming with US by the
score, and il is safe to predict that Rice county
will 20 gr~enback, by good round majority
on the 7th of November Every day We hear
both Democrats end Republicans declare their
intention to vote for Donnelly for Congrss.
1t cannot be disputed that he is the ablest
man We have in the northwest: . friend to the
people; the champion Of their cause at all
TINES; . man, in every respect worthy of the
suffrage OF the people of the End district, and
We believe that they will, BY their votes,
choose him to represent them in congr~ss,
rather than either of the Other candidates
whose principles and parties are antaeonistic
to their every interest. The greenback men
OF Rice county, like the grasshoppers. have
come hereto stay. From this until Nov eth,
they propose to make the canvass 'srsd. hot, .
and when the polls are closed and the votes
counted, they will b rewarded for their lsbor
BY glorious victory.

An Interesting Letter From Hon. {. Ayres
COTTAGE GROVE, Oct. %, 1876.
Editor Anti-M onopo1,st:
l have Just returned from short cam
paign trip up northward. and give you
the result of my observations. l spoke
at Anoka, Elk River. in Sherburn county
and at Princeton in Mi lie Laos county to
good audiences. The Greenback cause
had already taken root in all those places.
and is thriving finely in spite of all the
efforts to keep the people in the dark
upon the great vital issue OF
the day. l found Cooper and Cary men.
everywhere, and the people exceedingly
anxious to learn more of our principles.
l scattered Peter Cooper's placid counte>
nance and the Greenback principles, in
every direction on the train, in hotels
and at meetings, and at farm houses.
| found the sentiment for McNair for
Congress strong, and growing. The
time is not far distant when the old
parties will he forced to recognize our
bower and influence. In fact. they are
beginning to fear US, already in many
localities, the Cooper and Cary men OF
to-day are the earnest, intelligent. and
independent men of the period, and will
soon '.learn the whole truth" l came
home much elated at the prospect.
EBENEZER AYREs.

Vote for Lindsay for representative.

But four working days remain before cleo
ton, and if every arrangement throughout the
whole county has not been perfected, see that
it is done at once. Every voting precinct in
the county should be well supplied with tick
and see that every man that votes, has prvsen-
ted to him the full Greenback ticket Let every
Greenback man in Rice county devote the
whole Of the 7th day of November to hard
york for the ticket and the principles we ad-
vocate. Be on your guard, look out for tricks
and "sculduggery, the opposition will do all
in their power to defeat US. Remember that
your most vital interests are at stake and that
you have nothing to expect from either of the
Old parties. Remember that your vote is your
own. Cast it on the side of right, justice pros
peritv. freedom, equality and humanity.
