doubt but the present conferee system
has had much to do with the defeat OF
former candidates and is the source OF
dissatisfaction generally. Where there
are two or more counties composing a
district for Congress, State Senate, or
anything else, it is argued that 1t
would be better and more sensible to
have the nomination made by the
people of the whole district at their
primaries. That is, that candidates
should submit their names in all the
counties of the district and trust to the
justice and fair dealing of their party
friends for an equal distribution OF
nominations This would appear to
be the only true idea of a district NOM
ination and would settle all questions OF
rights by the party of the whole dis
trict. As at present, these questions
are settled, or attempted to be, by con-
ferees appointed by the candidates OF
the different counties of district, who
are responsible only to the candidates
and are in honor bound to serve their
interest only The result has been,
that these conferees are requested to
"stick" to their candidates, right or
wrong, with the hope of having some
outside party or person called in to de-
eide the matter. This is now becoming
the fashionable way. But the question
is, are the people or party of district
making their own nominations? Or is
it some other party or people making
them? 1t is, in truth. mode OF
taking power from those to whom 1t
rightfully belongs that the sooner 1t is
repudiated the better will it be for all.

A GOOD FARMER.

Mr.. Lewis Patterson, of Slippery
rock township, this county, is good
farmer, as the following concerning
his crops Of this year, 1880, will prove
He had SO acres of wheat, from which
be cleaned 1861 bushels, machine
measure. The wheat was in two fields
of 26 acres each, the one producing 814
and the other TAT bushels. From three
acres alone of one of the fields he
threshed 100 bushels. Of oats he had
81 acres in and threshed 2,200 bushels.
His corn, 81 acres, is not all husked as
yet but will yield at the rate af 100
bushels per acre. He clipped 1900
pounds of wool. He has two-year-old
steer weighing 1000 pounds. He put
in go acres of wheat this fall. The
above is . specimen (very good one),
OF Butler county farmer, and we
doubt if there is any better in any
neighboring county.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1880-10-20

In August, 1873, a couple named
Siles and Della Waterbury, who
were then Lying in Blue Earth
county agreed to disagree, that is
they came to the conclusion that as
they could not live peacably togeth.
er, they would forever part. In or
der to make the thing legal, says
the Mankato Review, an attorney of
GAINESVILLE, Waseca county, was EN-.
ployed to fix the thing in lawful
shape, and he drew up an agreement
which was signed by the twain. Ac-
cording to that instrument they mu-
tually agreed that they forever part
and live single and apart from
each other, placing each other in
the position where they were before
marriage, and each agreed not to
prosecute the other for the necess-
aries of life. or in case they should
marry the other party agerd never
to make any trouble or complaint
thereat in any manner or form.
Waterburythought that after hav-
ing made such an agreement he was
at liberty to marry again, and sub
sequently he did contract on ALI.
ance. But his former wife went
back on the contract and hid him
arrested from bigamy, and he was
brought to Mankato from the vicin.
ity Of Tracy where he has been liv.
ing lately.

Stale Text Books.

The voters of this State will haye
to decide at the coming election
whether they wish to continue the
contract between the state and D.
D. Merrill, of st. Paul, for furnish.
ing school books to be used IN the
public schools of this State. Under
the original act which was passed in
1877, the State entered into con.
tract with Mr.. Merrill whereby he
was to furnish the school books, at
certain prices, for fifteen years. But
an amendment to this act was pass.
ed in 1878 and accepted;by the con.
tractor, that the people, at the cleo.
tion of 1880, by vote should decide
for or against the continuance of
the contract, until 1885, and in case
the contract continues until that
time the voters will again be author
lied to take another vote whether
they will continue for five years
more, from 1885 to 1000.
Those who wish Merrill's books
to be continued during the next five
years will vote ballots with the fol.
lowing words theron: Gin favor of
the text. book acts" Those opposed
to the continuance of the contract
will vote ballots with these words:
''Against the text.bo acts.''
OF course all are aware that the
Merrill school books are cheaper
than the text books used in the
schools some time ago; but then,
books of nearly every description
have continually been getting cheap
er during the last two or three years,
and there is no doubt but what the
prices will be still lower during the
coming five years. But there is an
Other consideration which should be
carefully weighed by every intelli.
gent voter, and especially by those
having children who attend school,
and that is, whether the different
books in the Merrill series are up to
the best books now published. 4
large majority of the leading educa-
tors of the State agree that some of
the books are far inferior to similar
ones which are in use in localities
Inside of this State. Now, if Mer.
ills books are of an inferior grade,
which we have no hesitation in be-
lieving to be 4 fact, they ought to be
disregard in order to make room for
better ones.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1880-10-20

We have learned from reliable
sources that NJ. Doran, of LIE Sueur,
who is chairman of the Democrat.
ic Congressional committee of this
district, is attempting to hi1e such
Republicans az have been IN the ha.
bit of distributing Republican tick
cts at the polls during former cleo
tions, to do the same thing at the
coming election. But then, the So
called Republican tickets which Do.
rams tools are expected to put into
the hands Of unsuspecting voters,
will all have the name Of Henry
Poehler for Congress. We do not
think however, that there are many
Republicans in this district who will
sell themselves to the Democrats in
such shameless manner; but then,
since attempts will be made to bride
an occasional black sheep that may
be found in the Republican fold, it
will be necessary for every Republi.
can voter to scrutinize his ticket
with great care and to see that the
name of Horace B. Strait is found
thereon before depositing the same
in the ballot box.
Every Republican paper in the
district should warn it's readers in
regard to this attempted outrage on
the unsuspecting voters, in order
that all may be on their guard and
to vote for the man Of their choice.
