james Starkey, Esq, St. Paul, Minnesota.
DEAR SIR Yours, as chairman of the State
central committee of the National Greenback
Labor party of this State, bearing date the llth
inst, has been received. in which you inform
me that the executive committee of said State
central committee have decided to place my
name on the State National Greenback Labor
ticket candidate for the Office of Governor.
In answer to which l feel compelled to say it is
high compliment to which am undeserving,
and would much prefer being numbered in the
ranks.
Yet, being fully in harmony with the princi-
Piles advocated by that party, and deeply i'm
pressed with the necessity of their sdoption in
order that repu ublcan institutions may be as
sured to future generations, I therefore do
not feel at liberty to plead my privilege. but
will with pleasure submit to the decision of
on the ticket that they in their wisdom may
decide.
Having full faith that all who are in favor of
a peoples government will soon be with us,
and they are many; hence we should be of
good cheer. True, ''wise counsels may accele-
rate, mistakes may delay" but just cause
will in its time triumph. Yours truly,
WI. MEIaHEN
On motion, the committee adjourned to
meet on call of chairman, to fill vacancy of
attorney general on the State ticket.
Trusting the above may be of some inter
est to your readers, and referring to late
issue of the GLOBE wherein you refer to the
late election in Kentucky, you advise the
GreenbSHkers to turn their toes towards the
primroses, we simply say your advice will
not be followed. The National Greenback
Labor party believes its principles are right,
and to that end are enlisted for the fight. 1t
will not down until the financial system of
the government is SO established as to benefit
alike rich and poor, and honest labor re-
ceives its just reward.
Pardon me for reminding you that the
National Greenback Labor party in 1873
polled one million three hundred thousand
votes, and elected fifteen members of Con-
gress. That party is still increasing its
numbers, statements of the money. power
press to the contrary Notwithstanding; and
the next fall Greenback vote of this State
will make the scales drop from the eyes of
the skeptical. Yours truly,
JAS. STARKEY,
Chairman State Central Committee.

Colonel Thornton, of the East India

and tears glstened in her beautiful eyes
as she said:
'Ah, Captain Thornton, are you sure?
Do you-do You love me? 1t cannot
be. No, never
Why l cried, impetuously pressing

Yes, she was there, real enough, and
was not dreaming.
Tell me all ? gasped.
And standing there, by the broad
stone coping she told me all How her
parents had died when she was little
more than an infant, and Sir John,
her guardian and my grandfather, had
watched over her with Jealous care,
always keeping her at school, however,
until he brought her home--a young
lady.
Then while ! was in India, the poor
old man fell suddenly i'll, and on his
dying bed persuaded his young ward
to marry him, just in order to inherit
his vast estate, which she had refused
to take rs Il legacy.

it will be indispensable to employ still
greater diligence and intelligence; to
cherish earnestness of purpose and reso-
luteEess of conduct; to apply hard and
constant blows to real abuses, and en-
courage not only bold, free and origi-
nal thinking, but determined action.
Storms in the political atmosphere may
occasionally arise by the encroachment
of usurpers, the corruption or intligues
Of demagogues, the expiring agonies of
faction or by the sudden fury of popular
phrcnzy; but with the restraints and
salutary influences of such allies, these
storms will purify as beautifully as they
often do in the physical world, and
cause the tree Of liberty instead of fall
ing to strike deeper its roots and send
forth from its gigantic form immense
protecting branches over the nation, so
that beneath it's sheltering influence our
posterity may rest in peace and security
for endless ages to come.
