Since our last issue the Maine defeat
as it WAS termed-has been turned into
victory for the republicans, the losses sus
tanned in the cities being countcrbalanced
and overcome by returns from the more
remote precincts of the state, which show
republican gains. There is however Il
seeming loss as compared with 1876, but
when we consider that the contest was Il
purely local one, that the mongrel fusion
ticket, represented the combined forces of
greenbackcrs, democrats, Independents
and nationals, the result is a substantial
victory for the republicans, which fore
shadows the result liz November, at which
time the opposition will not be united, the
issues then being national instead Of local.
The effect of the result of this bitter con-
test hard fought battle ard great victory,
will spur the republicans to greater efforts
it will make them work with ZeSt as
never before; reveal the danger of ovcrcon-
tidence; expose the schemes and intrigues
of the enemy; their own weak points; the
breaches in the dcfences OF The opposition,
their plans, tricks and mode of procedure.
With such great vantage, with the word
''victory" inscribed on their banners, the
republicans have only to work together,
carefully, cautiously and aggressivcly, and
success, triumphant success, will crown
their efforts There is no question but the
republicans will be more diligcnt, enthusi.
astic and vigilant, now that after bitter
struggle and wrestle, with the allied forces
of the opposition, they have, single han
ded, vanqulshed and routed their oppo
nents.

the condition Of the crops and the yield,

the condition OF the crops and the yield,
as proven by the threshing machines. In
every instance, without u single exception,
the answer TO our query has been: 1.-THE
wheat is falling long way short oft
estimates" Then again, one of the Oldest
wheat buyers in the state, man OF good
Judgment and long experience in the grain
business, gave as his opinion, after tour
through the length and breadth of the
state, that there would MT be over thirty
million bushels of wheat in Minnesota this

1--WE continue to kick and demand that
this wrong be righted, making the demand
in the name of the voters of Big Stone
county" is the tragic language of the Or
tonvile Star in closing its remarks on the
legislative apporlionment bugaboo. Now
we do not know what the Star thinks to
gain by its course, but there is one thing
positive, and that is, if its buster and un-
reasonable whining is intended to influence
the committee, it is u waste of time, as the
convention only, and the TRIBUNE, on the
part of Stevens county, stated some time
ago, that the delegates would see that no
injustice was done in this matter and that
Big Stone county would have the delega-
ton to which it is entitled The Star asks
us to explain 1.-THE difference in the appor-
tionments in the calls for the representa-
tive and senatorial conventions" We will
simply say in this connection that the Call
for the senatorial convention is wrong, as
the official vote entities Pope, Grant and
Stevens to larger delegation than they are
allowed by the call, II matter they propose
to have remedied at the proper time AS
regards the three counties above named,
their apportionment as allowed by the rep
resentative convention is right, as docu
ments from official sources, in the hands
of the chairman of the committee will
prove. We have never claimed that the
representation as allowed Big Stone county
was right, but do claim that the committee
from the figures obtained, and tied as the,
were by the resolution adopted, could dc
no more nor less than they have done.
We may state further that in so far a
Stevens county and the TRIBUNE is con
Ccrned, we are anxious to see and wilin!
to aid in securing to them, not only thei
rights in the matter of apportionment, bu
5 also in the question, yet to be decided. 0
which county is entitled to the representa-
: tive. Both counties are nearly equally il
9 tercsted in the Importance of securing

injury or injustice. This attempt to provok

have the nomination for representative
given to their man; and if, by trickery, the
politicians of that county expect to carry

The Pioneer Press in commenting on
Senator COnklirg'S great speach says:
This speech will be remembered as the
most conspicuous event of the political
campaign of 1880. The speech is power
full political argument as well as dramatic
piece of oratory. 1t will be more effective
as a campaign document than many bet
ter speech. it cnforces the real issues of
the political canvass with all the intensity
of II bitter partisan, and points the dangers
involved in the triumph of the democracy,
with all the earnest eXagcration of sincere
conviction. The speech is bitter, without
being untruthful; sectional, without being
unfair. 1t is Il speech suited to tho exigen-
cy of Il political crisis, when plain truths
need to be told in plain language, and the
courtesies of debate yield to the peril of
the hour. When reckless and dangerous
political party, ruled by more reckless
and dangerous element. is straining every
nerve to get possession of the national gov
eminent, it is no time for weak and ineffec
tive attempts at Cancellation. The present
attitude of the south, controlling the dem
oCratiC party ant inspiring its purposes anC
its arts, is, as it was twenty years ago, tina
of public enemy. Senator Conkling:
bold acceptance of this fact, and his detian
and effective assault upon the enemies
works, make his speech the conspicuous
masterpiece of the summers politicYl de
bate; the heaviest blow dealt in the politi
Cal campaign"
