What Is Needed at the Present TSme---Son,e
Good Advice.
The following communication has been
upon the editorial table for some time, and
it also comes from without the State. If,
however, it had been written yesterday, and
70 apply to affairs in Ramsey county, it
would be decidedly pertinent:
To the Editor of the Globe.
CLEAR LAKE, Polk county, Visit is
true in politics, as in nature, that strength
lies in unity of forces. Any object can be
attained much easier by bringing upon it the
combined strength of the whole force. How
long will it take the Democratic party to
comprehend this assertion? Gov. Cornell,
of New York, owes his present position to a
split in the Democratic ranks of that State.
A Presidential election is fast approaching,
and we need q unity of action to seat our
candidate in the White House. We must
proceed in the right direction to gain our
ends. Petty feuds and individual ambition
must not swerye us from attaining this
point. Our present degraded nation must
be rescued from her shame and
disgrace caused by the rule of the
Republican party-a party destined to
to sink SO low in the estimation of the COM
ing generations that it will stink in the nos
trils Of all liberty loving men, and history
will refer to it as the leprosy spot on the face
of the Goddess of Liberty. We can never
succeed as party while one wing is calling
for unity for the purpose of enriching Itself
at the cost of the nation, and pandering to
its vitiated tastes, while another wing is
loudly calling for its candidates election to
subserve its own interests.
The work of the democratic party should
be to cast entirely away all the rotten ele-
ments and fungus matter. Bring forward O
healthy champion of the peoples rights
place him on sound platform, and then
construct an organization of prin-
ciples which will meet the
the peoples views and commend itself to all
honest men, and in November victory is
ours.
The restoration of harmony will never be
accomplished until the Democratic party
rules.
We all are aware that the Republican party
is kept in power by the non unity of the Dem
ocrats. It is true they howl Andersonville
bloody shirt, but these arguments are fast
failing to create any sympathy.
Theadictates of reason and the teachings of
wisdom should lead us away from dead is
sues to higher and better sphere. The
Democratic party will have great undertak-
ing to accomplish when it takes the ribbons
of State in hand. They will have to delve
to the very bottom of National affairs, go
away down to the corner stone of fraud and
renovate each department of state from its
filthy condition, then construct each partic-
ular mound of infamy anew. This is huge
undertaking, but it must be done before
success will ever again perch upon our ban
ners.
The want Of confidence in some of our
party leaders keeps away thousands of
voters from the polls. They think the party
will split and the Republicans run in their
man.
1t is the imperative duty of each claimant
to cultivate more close lfraternal and politi-
Cal relations with each other; work harmoni-
ously together and success is sure.
We have a common country at stake
Let us get closer into the bonds of unity.
Let us bridge the chasm of distrust, and
next November, gentlemen, the eagle will
viii scream:
"Glad tidings of great joy to all menl
Glory halliluja! Democratic President is
born who will be the savior of menu
Yours truly, WI. WARREN.
