OUR THANKS.

Our profound gratitude is due to
the people Of Dakota county, who, in
the midst of political revolution,
growing out Of local and personal ques-
tions, have reelected us to the Office
of state senator, by majority about
twice as large as that which we re-
ceived two years ago. This result was
due simply to the fact that the ma
jority of the people believed that we
had been sincerely at work, in the SEN
ate, for their benefit. We shall take
new courage to press forward in the
work of reform.
All we ask Of our opponents is,that
they will watch our course closely;an
if we propose or advocate any meas
ure for the public welfare, that they
will give us their assistance in~the,
good work, without regard to1fM
quarrels or prejudices. ''Let tdead
past bury it's dead.'

Here is a significant paragraph in
the daily telegraphic dispatches
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov 8.-Cory-
don Weeds, Of Bloomington, has filed
a voluntary petition in bankruptcy,
with liabilities at $l,SOO,OOO, with
scarcely any assets. Mr.. Weede has
been loaning money for other parties
on Illinois farm mortgages, guarantee
ing the interest and principal of the
loan. The securities having sunk to
nothing he is left between the real
creditors and the insciyent debtor.
Among his creditors are the Etna
Life Insurance Company, of Hartford
$4,000; F. Fallinger, Waterloo, n

New York city, $4,000; j. B. John
son, Seneca Falls, n. Y, S54. 900; W
C. Balm, New York city, $4,000, ant
others to smaller amounts.
Here we catch glimpse of the vast
amonnt of money loaned out on farm
mortgages. One man alone lends ou
nearly two million dollars!
Observe too. that ssthe securitie

and dying of remorse. Her partner
in guilt, Macbeth, fought it out to the
last, bold and defiant.

The house, under suspension of the
rules has passed Bland's silver bill,
providing for the recoinage of the old
silver dollar, of the old weight and
fineness, with the same devices and
superscriptions provided for in the
act of 1887. The vote on the passage
of the bill was-yeas. 1874; nays, 81.
Politically the vote was recorded as
follows: Yeas, Republicans so; Yeas.
Democrats "a. Nays, Republicans
%; Nays, Democrats 8.
It must not be forgotten in the face
of this vote that the Greenback party
was the only party that last year de-
manded the reconciliation of silver.
They have instructed the old parties
to good purpose.

THE PEOPLE, PARTY OF DA.
KOTA COUNTY,.

We want to talk a few words to
these gentlemen in anger or in
wrath. but quietly and in not un-
friendly spirit.
You have many excellent men
among you, men fitted to hold any
Office Of trust or profit. You have
made some gains this year, but not
from the popularity of your own orga-
nization. You have simply profited
by the bitter dissensions of your oppo.
nents. growing out of the scramble for
Office. Of yourselves you were so weak
that you had to hold two "People's
Conventions. Your first convention
having been followed by feeling Of
universal disgust among your own
people, you called another to buttress
up the falling edifce.
Why is this! You are in the anom-
alous condition of the only party in
Minnesota aOithout any principles.
You have adopted for your maxim
Stebbins famous utterance: ''look out
for your interests-the principles be
ID" You have met, year after
year, in the midst of events that have
shaken the continent, and you have
not dared to frame an expression of
opinion upon any of the great ques-
tions of the day. No man can tell to-
day whether you are in favor ofruling
the South by the bayonet or letting it
rule itself by the ballot; you have
nothing, to say about Hayes policy or
Grants policy; about greenbacks or
gold; about demonetizing silver or re-
pealing the resumption act; about the
wrongs Of labor or the rights of capi-
tai. You favored neither Pillsbury,
nor Banning, nor Wakefield, nor
Meighen nor Ames. On all political
issues you were as silent as an oyster.
| Whys Because you are simply an
accidental conglomeration to secure
some LOCAL Offices; kind of organized
wolf-hunt for plunder; your tails all uI
in the air and your noses on the tracks
that lead to the court house.
/ Now we put it to you, candidly
whether this is an honorable position
to stand in before the world! Is there
nothing better in life than a scrambl.
for few warm nests!
Your priacipal argument has beer
an appeal to race bigotries. You hav'
gone around among the American pop
ulation cursing s'the Irish and Dutch,
and rousing up the old Known othin,
sentiment, which, years ago tn
American people Indignantly stampe'
into the dirt. And yet when yo1
came to make nominations you set u
Irishmen against Germans and Ger
, mans against Irishmen. thus shown;
how shallow is the pretence o.
which you seek to rule the country
Your whole object was to set the for

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT PI

A correspondent of The People,
{Iowa) says:
Another serious want has been In
dependent papers. Were there as
liberal a support given to the Inde-
peudent press as was given to the or
cans of the old parties, the result
would have been very different in
Iowa. Independents must learn to
support their own papers, and at the
same time consider that any support

even it it could be, you would feel

And moreover it is dangerous to make

election stood as follows:

From this it appears that the Re-
publican party is ina minority of 1886
votes. This is an extraordinary
change in State that used to give
10000 Republican majority. The
Rag Baby did it.
