We Want Another Victory.

The returns which are now fairly in,
show that Ohio and Iowa have gone Re-
publican bv satisfactory majori,ies, the
former by 10000. the latter by 10000.
What is especially noticeable in this
hour of victory, is that the greenback
vote was now here. These mistaken men,
" hen they see the grand old Republican
party in danger, come back, to the fold,
and swell the total. So it should be here.
Let everybody lay aside all lesser griefs,
for Just one year more. Let Grants ia
nous words be our motto. "LEr Us HAVE
PEACE" Lay out this Page difficulty,
and then let these minor difficulties come
up for hearing. Every Republican
should stand BY John Q. Farmer. When
one Of these "independent" chaps comes
to you, claiming that one man is as good
ss another, say Eyes, yes. That's just
what's the matter with Farmer. He is
just as good man for judge as there is
and little better-he Is a Republican,
and has nomination by respectable
convention, and did not need to force
himself upon the people, a spectacle of
uu exampled brass and bald conceit."
Vote the straight Republican ticket, and
let people see that the spirit of old
Republicanism-the spirit of Lincoln,
Sumner, Adams. Chase, Seward, still
lives in Minnesota hearts. ,,.,:.s

PAGE is a temperance advocate when
he can make point thereby. At the
time OF the whiskey riots he was radical
temperance man. To-day, when he wants
votes for a reelection to an office which
ne disgraces, he toadies to the wiakey sen:
timent. His candidate for Treasurer
(William Baudler) lets his land for Sun
day beer-sarden, is, and always has been,
the strongest advocate Of free liquor with
whom we are acquainted in the county OF
Mower. Page travels Mower county over
with this man each working for the other.
Bill Baudler is entitled to some respect.
He at least is no hypocrite, and is the best
of the two. Bill however, will not deny
that he is the radical enemy Of
temperance every where. He has had
scarcely any business or clerical exper.
fence in all his "a years residence In this
county, and therefore, must be poorly
qualified. Vote tor Farmer and Mcintyre

your conduct in Austin? We have always

in Austin, are the men whom Page calls
"conspirators," and you have acknowl-
edged to US in this Office, that you liked
Page no better than zee did, but said you

vote, but he was none the less proven
guilty. Reader, can you doubt that such
man, SO proven guilty, is unfit TO SIT as
judge? Can there be any sense orjustice
in again putting him where he can again
be guilty Of such crimes. No-the bare
fact that tits war and rancor exists; that
1t exists between the people and an official
whom the people should honor and es-
TEEN, is proof positive that there Is some
thing in our judges nature that renders
him totally unfit for his place.
1t may be said that the Austin commu-
nifty is an especially hateful and sinful
crowd. Then were the people Of Lancas-
ter, Wis.,, the boys in blue, and the people
of DEBORAH. fiends and devils also, for
Page could not live in peace with them.
The irresistible conclusion to all fairmind-
ed men, is, that the trouble is in the one

shall give way--,he people or one man ?
Certainly the one man, and we ask you to
help US, and refuse to vote tor one

We have made, then, just this much of
a mistake-we gave out that Senator
Mac Donald was sorry for voting as he
did. While the point the Senator makes
is all fair and square, yet any one would
have imagined as we did. In proof of
the fact that we alone did not misunder-
stand him, we print what the Lanesboro
Journal said of the same item:
"Senator MacD Donald, of st. Cloud, who
voted for Pages acquittal, thinks he is a
bold, bad man, just the same, and opposes
his reelection"
A week ago, MacDonald's paper con.
tanned the following:

Minnesota demand change in that
District"
We still claim Senator Mac Donald as
''ano!her convert" and that he is getting
along as fast as any new member can be
asked to. He will soon he able to "speak

Letter from C. F. Mac Donald.

Editor Mo,rer County Transcript.
In your issue of the 10Th, under the
heading of Another Convert" you, un-
intentially am sure, place me IN false
and unenviable position. Permit me
space to correct the erroneous impression
your article will croate.
The dispatch article alluded to was as
follows:
"Probably there Is not State Senator
who voted for Pages acquittal before
the impeachment court, who would then
have voted for his reelection as Judge,
or would do so now"
The comment in my paper was in the
following words:
THE Dispatch never made more
truthful statement than the above"
Now, Mr.: Editor, ! cannot perceive
what there is in my comment to lead you
to conclude that ibid not vote as l
thou ght," or that was "sorry tor it."
Such is not the case I have not now,
nor never had, a siugle regret for the vote
l cast in the Impeachment trial Of Judge
Page. l entered upon my duties as q
member of that court entirely free from
prejudice for or against either of the
parties. I listened TO the evidence,
weighed it well, and concluded that the
prosecution had failed to present testimO-
ny sufficient to warrant me in finding the
defendant guilty as charged in the artl-
cles Of impeachment. Other Senators,
more able than myself, arrived at a diff
ferent conclusion, and 1 respect their
convictions. But, were to pass to-day
upon the sane evidence, I should vote
Just as l did at the trial. So much for
not voting as thought, and tor being
"sorry for it,
Voting for Judge Pages acquittal did
not necessarily imply that l, or. other
Senator'S who voted as did, "would then
have voted for his reelection as Judge,
or wonld do so a.oao." A Judge may
possess traits Of character which would
prevent my voting for his reelection, yet
not be guilty OF offences or misdemean-
ors which would warrant his impeach:
ment and dismissal from office. 1t was
this aspect Of the case, and the knowl:
edge have Of the views of Senators who
voted like myself, which induced my
comment.
Were ! a resident of the Tenth District,
I would not vote for Judge Pages re.
election. =. F. MACDONALD
