From the Brainerd Tribune.
Three runaways Tuesday, all at
once, made times lively on Front street
for few minutes.
Our new freight depot on Broad
way is fast approaching completion,
and will be an ornament to the city.
Messrs. 'A]sop & Nahum, proprie>
tors Of the steamer "White Swan"
built at this place last spring for the
Upper Mississippi trade, have, owing
to the unprecedented low water this sea-
son, been unable to make single trip
during the entire summer and autumn,
and excepting two trips in the spring,
have received no returns whatever from
their investment. This has been rath>
er unfortunate for the new venture,
and the construction since of another
and larger boat, the "City of Aitkiu"
upon the same waters to divide with
them the only trade that could be de-
pended upon-the spring and fall run
and receiving strong inducements
from parties at Fargo, D. T., the pro-
prietors have concluded to abandon the
Mississippi and cast their bird upon
the waters of the Red River Of the
North. Accordingly last week the
hull and machinery were loaded on
number of fat cars and shipped to
Moorhead, where Capt. Alsop has since
been engaged in putting things togeth>
er again and getting her in shape as
rapidly as possible for the fall trade.

HOWELL PRAIRIE, June 25, 1873.
Eiitor Demoer-ut.
Now that the general election is past
and we Republicans have met the enc
my and are theirs, it may be well to
turn our attention to lome affairs and
all hands take common sense view of
the situation, aud act rs iUise men. We
admit that the Democratic party put in
nomination rs a general thing their
very beat men. And so did the Repub
Iicans
Aud from these we have, generally,
on both sides, true and good men III
office. The currency, tariff, railroad,
Amy, foreign commerce, the Chinese,
labor and monopoly questions are most
ly in the hands of Congressman and
they will no doubt settle those ques-
tions in fitting manner. Here, in
Oregon, we all have one common inter
est We are friends and not enemies.
And although we Republicans must go
ON to the old Republican ship, hiyh up
SAX rirer, as the the Wings did some
years ago, yet we will try to endure our
defeat as well as we can, and do all in
our power to help build up our own be-
loved Oregon
There are questions Of vital concern
to us, that ought to come before our
next Legislature: The State House, the
Peuitentiary, the Insane Asylum, the
States equalization of taxes, a revision
of the Road aud School laws, the local
status of the Chinese amongst US, as to
road labor, interest on money, etc.
Reform in all public expenditures.
but not to cripple the public service, is
loudly called for And the need of q
revision of our State Constitution is
much needed The salaries of our
Governor aud most Of our State officers
and the Judges Of our high Courts are
far below what they should be. 1t re-
quires the very best and most talented
of uur professional men to ill with sse
fulness and credit those high and im
portant offices amongst US. And if tbs
incum6ents in those offices work accord
eng to their salaries, we would complaiz
of them greatly.
And in order to a satisfactory course
of our Legislature in September next
let the people come before them by gen
eral petitions and make known theil
desires and wants. hope that bar
mony and good feeling will character
ize all of our public men, and that will
one accord they and we will make 1
long pull, strong pull, and a pull alto
gether for the upbuilding of our highly
favored RorthtCes.

The result Of the election in the State
Is finally known and We give it in full
in the table published elsewhere. "Hon-
est John" Whiteaker loomsup above all
the rest with = majority over the Par
son Of l,l70. For Governor, Thayer
has s. majority. For Secretary Of
State, Earhart has 294 majority !;
Hirseh; tor Treasurer, has l,062 major
ity; Carter, for Printer, has 497 ma
jOrity, and Powell, for Superintendent
Of Public Instruction, hiss 33 majority.
The whole vote Of the State, when the
fall returns from Lake are counted,
viii be just about $4,000. In 1876 the
vote for President, which was larger
than any previous one, was as follows:
Hayes, Is, ,2o6; Tildan l4,l49; Cooper.
$40. Total, 29,s65.
The 0reyOnia,s, in commenting o.,
the result Of the election, says:
personal and local considerations
entered 80 largely into the recent elee
tiUn that It can hardly be said thert
was q strict party vote on any office
Perhaps the vote for Governor was a,
near il rs any. On comparison we fin,
that Beskuian's vote is S03 greater thai
that thrown for Hayes, while the voe
thrown for Thayer is 1915 larger thai
that thrown for Tlden. These figure
indicate that the Democrats have beel
gaining more than the Republicans b
the immigration, or that the Republiea
vote was not called out 50 fully as tn
Dsmocfatie on this occasion.
It is probable, as the 0reJoniasl sue
Rests, that the Democrats have gaine
BY immigration, but this is not the onl
aaase Of eur party's success in this ele'
tiou. There is no doubt that the n
eent past infamies of the RI lical part
have dizgustel many of its former Al
herents, and they have taken this oeci
sion to forever leave it and so with ii
old-timel friend and champion of tn
Constitution, and of the people'srightS-

was "ths last hair that broke the car
els back with the honest masses of Il

lOazer ally themselves with the par
which en IOrsel the outrage.

has clean majority in the Stat; and
with proper organization in the various
