LINDEN CORRESPONDENTS.

I see in a recent issue of the Review
that grasshoppers are again vending

true, would certainly be a bad calama-
ty for our young State. Another four
years of the pest would depopulate this
part Of the State entirely.
Threshing in this vicinity has COM
menced in earnest and the hum of the
machines can be heard from every di-
rection. Wheat yealds from 8 to 10
bushels per acre land oats from As to IS

best. It is a pity to see the air filed

The Democratic State Convention
last week nominated very excellent
men for the various positions, but
the platform adopted IS close resem-
blance Of the document promulgat-
ed by the Ohio Democrats last sum
mer, and is piece Of financial folly
and political lunacy. The financial
plank is the main feature in the rlat-
form. It antagnoizes every good
measure proposed or undertaken for
the restoration Of the shattered
credit Of the nation, and placing the
country upon asound financial ba-
sis. It demands the abolition cf
the national banks, and an unlimit-
ed issue of greenbacls. Of course
the platform would not be perfect
without a plank or two denouncing
the Republican party for its extra
vagance and corruption in administ-
ering the affairs Of the State and Ma
tional governments.

STATE POLITICS.

Last week was Convention week
as well as Fair week, no less than
five State and Congressional conven.
tions having been held. The politi-
cal ball was set In motion by the
Prohibitionists, who met in State
convention at Minneapolis on Tues
Gay, and nominated T. G.. Carter,
Of Nicollet county, for State auditor;
William Copp, Of Rochester, clerk
Of Supreme court. G.. w. Green was
nominated for member CT Congress
from the First district and |. G..
Stearns from the Second. Nonomi-
nation was made for the Third dist.
rict.
The Republican State Convention
came next in order and was held in
St. Paul on Wednesday. After the
usual preliminary proceedings the
convention nominated Hon. John
M. Berry Associate Justice, and Sam
uel II. Nichols for Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court, by reclamation. Hon.
0. P. Whitcomb was nominated for
State Auditor on the first formal bal
lot, the vote standing as follows:
Whitcomb 10Y, M. D. Flower 48,
E. w. Trask As.
The Democratic State Convention
met at the same place and city on
Thursday, and nominated VIM. FL.
Mitchell, Of Winona, for Associate
Justice, Dillon O'Brien, Of Ramsey,
for Clerk of the Supreme Court and
Capt. Mahlon Black, of Hennepin,
for State Auditor.
The National Greenback Labor
party ofthe Third Congressional dis.
trict also held their convention on
Thursday, minneapolis, and nomi-
mated Ignatius Donnelly for Con-
gress. The Third district Democrat
ic Congressional Convention, which
met at the same place on Friday, sub
sequently endorsed the nomination
of the Nationals, and Mr.. Donnelly
may now be considered as fairly. pit
ted against Washburn.

HORRIBLE.

The steamer Princes Alice, plying
on the river Thames, England, was
run into and sunk by the collier ssBy-
well CASTLE" on the evening Of Sept.
Sd, and $50 persons out Of 800 that
were aboard the vessel, were drowned.
After the collision a scene ensued
that beggars description. Within
five minutes The Princes Alice keeled
completely over and went down in
deep water. Other steamers that
were passing at the time and small
boats FASTENED to the scene, but oW-
ing to the excitement and darkness
not much could be done to save life.

THE PLAGUE.

While the reports from New Or
leans and vicinity are a little more
encouraging, the news from Mem
phis are getting worse and worse,
although every thing that human be-
mgs can do is being done to relieve
the poor sufferers, and disinfect the
city. The death rate at Memphis
averages over a hundred per day,
and many active workers are among
the sick or stricken down. The city
is reduced to desperate strait, as it
is utterly impossible to secure men
enough to bury the dead promptly
The mayor has been down several
days and there is but one officer Of
the city government able to be on
his feet. The city is being fumigat-
ed BY burning turpentine and brim-
stone, and the conclusion test will
also be tried as soon as artillery sent
for arrives. A Cincinnati business
man, who has just returned from
trip to New Orleans, describes the
situation South as sorrowful in the
extreme. On the trip down, at Ar
kanses City the boat was not allowed
to coal or land. Men stood on the
banks with guns in hand threaten
ing to shoot # the attempt was made.
At Memphis, which was reached as
evening was approaching, most de-
pressing scene was presented. Not
a dog, not a mule, not a negro, was
to be seen, and the houses didn't
seem to be inhabited; from no chin
ney could be seen smoke ascending.
Every place seemed to be deserted.
Vicksburg was almost as dead as
Memphis. Terror reigned all along
the Mississippi. If the boat had
freight for any town it was taken on
to New Orleans, the inhabitants re
fusing to receive it. At New Or
leans things looked much better.
Men were at work on the levee, and
business houses were open, but little
or no business was transacted. The
return trip was made by rail. At
Grenada not a white man was visible,
only a few negroes. At Holly
Springs about 200 came on board.
Yellow fever had broken out the
night before. The scenes at the
depot were heart-rending-wives
leaving husbands and mothers leav-
ing sons, bidding them farewell,
perhaps forever. At one place a
mother with three children got on
the train. Her husband had died
half an hour previous, and before
death had made her promise to leave
on the next train to save the lives of
herself and children. She left her
husband uncofined and unburied.
The Howard Association is accom-
plishing great good.
Everything is being done by the
people Of the North to relieve their
stricken southern brethren.

We hoist the Republican banners
to our flagstaff to-day by placing
the Republican ticket, as far as no :
minated, at the head Of our columns.
We believe that the good of the
State and the whole country can best
be subserved by the election Of the
Republican nominees. They are
men Of known integrity and ability.
and are entitled to the continued sup
port Of the people. The platform
Of the Republican party is based up.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1878-09-11

on sound financial principles and
pleads for honest money, while that
of the Democratic party means a de-
preciated currency and financial
ruin. 1t demands greater economy
IN the management of State institu-
lions, and denounces the revolution
airy schemes Of the Democratic party
which is now diligently working to
discover some pretextt for overthrow
ing the constituted authority Of The
nation.
While the R1v1Ew will labor for
the success of the Republican party
from now until after the November
election, its columns will always be
open to Democrats or Greenbackers
for the discussion Of political ques-
lions.

Major Strait and the Hospital lives.
tigatiGn.

While nearly all the Democratic
papers in the district are busying
themselves in circulating the false
hood that Major Strait, who is a
member Of the board of Hospital
Trustees, had charged and collected
his travelling expenses from the State
when riding on free pass, the ST.
Peter Times, which is a Democratic
paper, has honor enough TO do the
fair thing in the matter, and says:
Although this is a Democratic
journal, we cannot sanction a false
hood, even if it be told about a Re.
publican who is running for office,
for when falsehood is exposed, the
lie, like chickens, comes home to
roost. The charge that Major Strait
has been riding free on the st. Paul
= Sioux City railroad when paying
the Hospital visits as Trustee, aud
that he charged such fare to theS5ate,
t turns out to be very mean false
hood. And although we are a poll
teal opponent of the MAJORS, we
very willingly make this statement
to set public mind right, and, SO far
as we are able, do justice to anhon.
ored citizen .
The Times then copies the letter
Of Mr.. Drake in regard to the mat
ter, which we published last week,
and adds:
.sThis story about the Major was
some Of the Investigating Commit
tees work. President Drake polite
y announces the charge to be an alb
solute lie. Now let such journals as
have published the lie make the a.
mend honorable. Such newspapers as
are governed by the rule that a lie
well stuck to is better than thetruth,
are expected to hang onsto this lie,
and have it that it is 50 anyhow, even
if it's a lie.

liquor is sold, on that day.

Burnstown Items.

The farmers are busily engaged
threshing and blowing.
The ladies Of our town have nearly
all deserted us gone to visit friends
east.
The weather continues remarkably
fine, although a little warmer than
usual at this time of the year.
a. G.. Anderson is adding to the
town by building new dwelling house.
Mr.. e. E. Dickers0n, who is no novice
at the business, is experimenting the
work.
Our Mr.. F. G. Gley returned from
his trip to the State Fair last Monday,
looking hale and hearty, Fred. says
that be had jolly good timeand a shake
with President Hayes.
The wind mill, erected by the R. R.
Co., is now in working order and is
quite ornamental, besides labor saw
ing to the railroad hands. as pumping
is very hard work.
The boys are getting up grand dis
play in the way Of a grand masquerade
ball which will be held at our Town
Hall next Friday night. The maskers
will represent several nationalities in,
buslesque costums.
If the farmers continue to bring in
grain like they have been doing the
past few days A. G. Anderson will be
Obliged to build an addition to his,
warehouse. We also understand that
he contemplates building an elevator
in q short time.
We are glad to announce that the
coal mines are now to be developed.
Messrs. Hemmengray and Hoober, aid
ed by others, commenced last Monday
to sink a shaft and try to find their
good fortune down below. We certain
ly wish them every success in their,
undertaking.
Can not the name of our burg be
changed to Springfield The name
would be quite appropriate as we are
surrounded by springs, one of which is.
mineral spring. The change would
do away with great many mistakes
that are daily occurring in mail matter.
as so many letters are addressed to
Burns, Which IN many cases go TO
Burns, Anoka county. 1t seems very
awkward to have our merchandise adj
dressed to Burns Station and mail mat
ter to Springfield.
As the election eering season is draw
ing near our people are beginning to,
take more interest in county politics.
The reelection of Constans, Walton
and Blanchard is generally conceded.
and the most interest is centered on
the sheriffalty. "A number of candi-
dates are already in the field for this
office, and we would very much like to
see Mr.. Ambrose Parsons, ofthis town.,
also enter the race, as we have no
doubt but he would be the right man
in the right place. GIVE the boy g.
chance.
