The Bank of Ortonville has been
reorganized, with $25. 900 capital,
with the following officers: President.
Albert Scheffer, now cashier OF the
Bank of Minnesota, St. Paul; vice
President, G. X. Orion; cashier, B.
Dassel;assistant cashier, G. e. Brooks.
An English gentleman in Manitoba
writes about that country as home
for emigrants. He says towing to
the intense cold of the Winter, it is alb
solutely impossible for outdoor work
of any kind to be carried on-seven
long. weary months, the remaining
five being the workable months. 1t
is true, several persons have written
to the papers describing the fertility
of the soil, etc., but those persons
took good care to seek more congen-
ial cline before the winter set in, and
were consequently ignorant of the ex.
istence of soup kitchens to alleviate
the distress of the shiverlng poor,
whom have seen huddled together
on the streets, while private citizens
distributed to them beef, bread, tea.
etc. It is also true work is brisk
during summer, but what they earn
in Summer scarcely suffices to last
through the long, dreary winter"
Fraudulent pension agents are
being unearthed by the score. The
list Of agents is found to contain
the names of a good many people who
never studied any law at all and seem
to have devoted themselves chiefly to
the science of lying. Shoemakers
rag. catherers, preachers, editors, prin
ters, farmers, photographers, clerks
broken-down merchants, ex.banA
cashiers and lots of people Of almost
every imaginable profession, have ad
| yertised themselves az pension agents
and assured their victims Of all sorts
OF things in relation to their rights Of
pension which are not true. Among
other things which these laWlesi
agents have been telling the simple
minded applicants for the government
bounty is Il falsehood to the effect
that desertion is no bar to a pension
| The more these frauds are probed
| the more richness Is developed. It II
3 great pity the reckoning with the
conscienceless scamps could not have
| been made before the eleventh hour.

You will lose even chance to elect a
Democratic congressman in the 7th dis

about Allen, O'Ferrall, Harris, Woods,
Skinner and the rest of them if the next
legislature is controlled by Gen. Malone
there will be no further use for those men,
nor the younger men that come after
them in this gerrymandered district
You will lose the city government of
Stanton. The wards will be gerryman-
dered, the police will 60 under Metro

city will be legislaJed out of your hands.
The Commissioner of Sales bill will

Almost every official great or small that
you have business with will be an APP

THE DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN
OF THE STATE CENTRAL

John S. Barbour is chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee. He
is also the Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee. He has been
chosen by the largest Democratic conven

the party in this State, and he is leader
of whom the people are proud. Compared
with other leaders in the United States,
both Democratic and Republican, he stands

had more like him. Had she, she would
be more like Pennsylvania to-day. Look
along the line Of his road at the sales OF
the lands; look at the emigration that has
gone from Augusta, Rockingham and
Shenandoah, to settle along the line of bis
road and you will know of what value his
administration has been to the people
generally ard the land owners in pariicu-
lar on that line. He has some peculiar
qualifications for the post he holds, and
we propose to mention some OF them.
He is Democrat, and has never been
beaten in the Democratic party and forced
to fly to some other organization for pro-
motion.
He "a Democrat, and he is not afraid
nor ashamed to say so, either at home or
when be is in Congress at Washington.
He is Democrat, and will vote for the

party in 1884.
In his long public life he has never
wrecked a railroad.
In his public life at Washington nor at
hofee has a State Auditor felt called
upon to give testimony on oath in pub

In his whole public life as Congressman
as we'll as a railroad President his hands
have been clean.
