Tho Republican says that Dodge county

The high wind Of last week, lifted the root

The greenbackers in Mower county say
they won't vote for Meighen because the con-

Page.-Albe,t Lea Standard.
In these stirring political times, when no
paper should give forth an uncertain sound,
the Owatonna Review and People 's-Prcss have

Funny folks those Winona fellows. The
grand jury fine the sheriff a peck Of apples
and he retaliates by locking them in the Jail,
when on their tour Of inspection, and let's them
out finally on condition that they partake of
lunch at his house.
The Owatonna Journal says 1t is probable,
now that the Greenbackers fizzled out so COM
pletely in the October elections, that the Dem
ocrats of Steele county will make a nomina-
tion. Had the greenbacker dodge amounted
to anything Meighen would have been nomi-
mated.

The Preston Republican af1rms that the

Fillmore county are few old mountebanks,
worth a rush, and whose paper can be bought
by the bushel for ten cents on the dollar.-AE

Frank McDermott claims that he should
have been nominated for Auditor by the
claiming that there we're three fraudulent
votes cast that beat him. AS the successful
candidate received a majority of four over all
others, it is not clear how it affected the re-
suit. Patrick ought to figure better than that
to be Auditor.-Dodge Center Press.

1t /; the result ct the manipula,iOns OF
the Page party. Nothing more, nothing
less. The Greenbackers are openly and
boldly known as Page men. That party
in Fillmore county endorsed Page, and
sympathlzcd with Hotchkiss. In this
county the party has for leader the White
Swan. Their delegates were, with but
few exceptions, Page men.
The Democratic conventio IS delegates
were largely Page men. The chairman,
D. 8. Smith, IS II Pageitr, and The caucus
was engineered throughout by Billy
Merrick! The six or seven anti Page
Democrats fought the action of the con
vention as long as they conld, but the
Page men were too many for them. Look
at their nominees and see what swee
set Of Page men you have to vote for! J
NJ. Wyckof, the only strong man on the
ticket, will doubtless withdraw.

capital we need, as we have always needed,
to borrow largely from abroad to conduct
highly profitable enterprises here. But the
Silver bill has not only robbed us plump
of fifty millions of gold it has not only de-
prived US of the power to borrow money at
low interest abroad to develop our re-
sources it is sending our own capital to
foreign countries for security. That is to
say-aside from the loss Of our good name
it is rapidly and surely impoverishng the
country. Why is Mexico poor? Because
the insecurity of property there forces
every man who accumulates fortune
to send it out of the country, instead
Of using it to foster home industries
and enterprises. But that is precisely what
is happening here; and this silver folly,
which thinks that nation can become
prosperous by paying ninety-two cents on
the dollar, is in fact impoverishing us and
dopriving us rapidly and surely of the
capital we need to keep our enterprises
going.

TIE WEATHER-The cyconic storm of
Wednesday has passed east from Florida, fol-
lowed by slight rise of pressure and light rains
on the South Atlantic coast The depression of
the Northwest has moved into the Lower Mis-
sour Valley, with rapidly rising barometer in
the Manitoba and upper lake regions, whence
very high north and northeast winds are blow
ing toward the low pressure. Light snow has
fallen over the upper lakes, with u decrease of
temperature. In the Southwest depression is
slowly moving over Texas, but the Indications
arc not as yet threatening. The highest pres
sures are rs above stated and in the Central and
South Atlantic States. The barometer is low
but rising on the Pacific coast, where much rain
hns fallen. II is also low over New Brunswick
and the Lower st. Lawrence Valley with cloudi-
ness, high temperature and moderate winds.
The general temperature existing in the extreme
North Is very high. 1t is considerably above the
maximum for the season in the West The
veathcr In New York and its vicinity today will
Be- warm and fair or partly cloudy, followed by
increasing cloudiness and light rains toward
night. Tomorrow il will be warm and cloudy,
probably with rain.

Harsh Accusations.

In to-day's paper will be found another
chapter of accusations regarding "recon-
struction" in the Southern States. This
chapter is written by Ex-Governor Moses, of
South Carolina, and is signed with his
name. As it deals with events that occurred
while he was either Governor of the State or
while he was prominent man in the politi-
cal world in those parts he, of course,
claims to write from personal knowledge,
while the fact that he does not spare
himself, but recites acts as to the honesty
and propriety of which there cannot be two
opinions, gives his disclosures a personal
and dramatic interest that they would not
have coming from any other quarter. To
whatever mental, moral or other impulse it
is due that Mr.. Moses now makes these reve-
lations Of how 'the bloody shirt" was kept
flying, and how the Ku Klux bugaboo was
operated, and how the State till was tapped,
it presents q spectacle equally remark
able that man, once the Executive
of one of our American sovereign
States, comes forth accusing himself Of
such strange derelictions. But that element
of the picture loses all interest when we
reflect upon the degradation that must have
gone before his administration to make such
facts possible. The case of Merrill, the
United States officer implicated in these
statements, calls for the attention of the
general government. But it would not be
just to even suspect good soldier on the
evidence of man who is confessedy unre-
liable. In the statements we give from
Mr.. Moses, as in the whole investigation
making in South Carolina, we perceive not
only what nest of thieves the authorities
of south Carolina were in the first days of
reconstruction, but to what vile and
demoralizing condition of things the
national government lent its countenanoe
and support in order to protect the repub-
The New York herald., 1878-03-01

lican party" The government, sworn to
protect the nation, the people, to do justice
to enforce the laws and to guarantee freedom
in all the States, simply threw all that obli-
cation to the winds when it was placed IN
the scale against its obligation to party. BY
these pictures of the government OF recon-
struction the country can see what it was
that President Hayes was expected to con-
tinue to support; they can see the villany
he has cut loose from, and they can estimate
the motives of those republican leaders who
make war on him because he does not ''sus-
tain the party" in this way.
