EDIT T. of IL:
DEAR SIR-With deep regret and morti
ticati0n have we desire ia say if the senti
ments disseminated by said issue are tn,
sgenuine sentiments OF Il real grange journal,
then New Harmony Grange No. l63. is not
IL loyal grange, and we now realize that
the money invested for subscription to the
Patron of Husbandry was thrown into the
lap of an enemy to the best interest of the
people of oar State. We feel that we have
been sold out, that the journal we priced
most, that fought most vigorously corrup-
tion funds, monopolies, rings, cliques, and
corners has been cornered, corrupted a, d
is to-day prostituted to scattering the seeds
of dissentiOn, disorganization, and disinte-
grafton in the Democratic party-whose
ranks are made up largely of farmers, and
our State being strictly an agricultural
State. We feel that the Patron of Hus-
Dandry like the asp warmed into life, has
struck its deadly tangs into our political
vltals, by preaching the faith of the Repub-
licans when they 90 prosalyting under the
alias of Greenbacket. Farmers must act
as a unit, their interests are Identical their
political safety must not be hazarded by
windy blatherskites or political sympathi-
zers of Dennis kearny, A, Y, Harper, Par
son Lynch, Superintendent Cardoz0 the
! immaculate AlcOrn, Reuben Davis or eve
Senator Bruce or the Patron of Husban-
/ dry. Farmers must organize, their pol,
/ lcal organization must be complete and
under the grand old Democratic ban
ner, the only organization that has a
solid base in the nation that is friendly
to a republican form of government. Green

Importance and demands our serious atten-
ton, still we are not willing to lose sight of
our liberties listening TO the song Of the

party with their superserviceable deputy
