atty in the state Of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands OF votes,
with organizations in several coun-
ties and a perfected state organlz-
alton. It will enter the field next
year prepared to make still more
vigorous canvass for success; COM
mittees and clubs will be organized
in every county, and it will not
give up the contest until it has
carried the state Or forced the
dominant party, whichever party
thst may be, to adopt its princi-
pies.
The Independents need in such
battle a
STATE ORGAN,

PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-

pies:
/. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country

the passions and resentments Of
sections and the wrath and hates
of terrible civil war.
Ii. That the success of a new
party upon new issues would as

on new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and assure
the nation peace and repose.
III. That the powers OF gov

multitude.
vi. That the demonstration o
silver was intended to increase tn
value of money at the expense Q
labor, and to enrich the credito
class at the expense of the debto
class; it is reversion to barbarisr
and can only produce the most de
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren
cy required by the people SHOULD
be issued directly by the genera
government, without cost to tn
people, beyond the cost of printin
