OfMiuneSOta.

Of Minnesota.
This party is now an established re-
atty in the state of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands OF votes,
with organizationsin in several coun- !
ties and perfected state organlz- 6
alton. 1t will enter the field next
year prepared to make still more
vigorous canvass for success; COM 1

battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
The ANTI-MoNopoL1sT proposes
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following prlncl-
pies:
[. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either of the old party
organizations; they represent
the passions and resentments Of
sections and the wrath and hates
of a terrible civil war.
III. That the success Of new
party upon new Issues would as
suage the evil passions of the conl-
try; divide up the popular vote up
on a new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and ASSURE
the nation peace and repose. II
III. That the powers of gov
ernment should not be used To en-
rich the few and impoverisR the
many, but to arrest the aggfes-
sions and cunning Of the few. In
other words "to take care Of the
4 poor, because the rich can take
care Of themselves" ---.---
