We hrve one subject of coDgratula-
ton in the outcome of the recent can
vass in Dakota county. Our oppo-
nents had a great deal to say about our
vote last winter on the old railroad
bond question, and the speeches we
made last June in favor of the propos-
ed settlement. We stood up boldly in
defence Of that vote and those speech
es, not batting hairs breadth of our
position; and the people Of the county,
although they had given 400 majori-
ty against the proposed settlement.
returned us to the senate by an in
creased majority.
MORAL: The people do not expect
a representative to agree with them
on every local issue; all they ask is
that he shall he shall be honest in
forming his opinions, and bold in ex-
pressing them.

THE GROWTH OF THE GREEN
BACK PARTY.

The growth Of the Greenback party
is the marvel of our age. The histo-
~ of politics will be studied in vain
for parallel to it. Take these fig
ures as samples.
Ohio in 1876 gave 1853 votes to Pc
ter Cooper. In 1877 the Greenback
and Labor candidates for governor
received over 10000 votes; and
enough Greenbackers besides voted
the Democratic ticket to elect it!
This indicates an increase Of 1000 per
ct. -!
In Iowa Peter Cooper received last
year 900 votes. this year the green
back candidate for governor received
1922 votes; growth Of 400 per ct.!!
In Maine Peter Cooper received 663
votes; this year the greenback vote is
$500.
In Kentucky 2.0O3 votes were cast
for Cooper; this year the greenback
vote is q, $40.
Stand to YOUR guns, brethren. In
1880 the greenback vote will decide
the presidential contest.

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-
lions, 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;a lana
if we propose or advocate any meas
ure for the public welfare, that they
will give us their assistance ir~the,
good work, without regard to>soM
quarrels or prejudices. ''Let th1dead

symprthy with them. is only giving
aid and strength to the enemy.
The first work now should be the
formation of Independent clubs in
every school district and ward. Let
the people fully understand the OBJ
jects of the Independent party, and
success is certain. The working
classes will soon understand the work
ings of this resumption policy, and
learn it's pernicious influences.
This advice is good for Minnesotians
as we'll as Iowans. The Pioneer Press
says that Banning ran ahead in coun-
ties afflicted with Donnellyism.' :

If the greenbackers will give us
1000 circulation for our paper in each
of the principal countries of the state
tor one year. we will understake to
carry the state in 1873 for the green
back ticket; not because of any supe-
rior editorial power or wisdom on our
part, but simply by bringing the facts
home to the voters. The truth will
win if the people only hear it.

The house, under suspension Of the
rules has passed BANDS silver bill,
providing for the recoinage of the old
silver dollar, of the old weight and
fneness, 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 81. 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 RECOMMENDATION of silver.
They have instructed the old parties
to good purpose.

We want to talk few words to
these gentlemen,-nO 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 profted
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 edifice.
Why is this! You are in the anon
alous condition of the only party in
Minnesota without any principles.
You have adopted for your maxim
Stebbins famous utterance: ''look out
for your interests-the principles be

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
Grant s policy; about greenbacks or
gold; about demonetizing silver or re.
pealing the resumption act; about the
wrongs of labor or the rights of CAPT
tai. You favored neither Pillsbury
nor Banning, nor Wakefield, MOI
Meighen nor Ames. On all politica
issues you were as silent as an oyster
| Why! Because you are simply al
accidental conglomeration to secure
some local Offices; kind of organized
wolf-hunt for piunder; your tails all III

that lead to the court house.
Now we put it to you, candidly
