THE SPEAKERSHIP.

AS is often the case, a victory is only a
little less hazardous than a defeat, and
this is self-evident in the discussions going
on among the Democratic journals con-
corning the approaching contest for the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
in Congress, who must necessarily be Of
that party. Each of the prominent can
didates represent some issue which will
affect, favorably or otherwise, the pros
poets of the party in the impending
Presidential contest. So evenly balanced
are the prospects of the great parties,
that even small mistake would be mag
nified to colossal proportions by their op-
ponents and made to tell with fatal effect
in the approaching campaign. The diff
cult duty rests upon the Democratic par
ty to select, not the ablest man, but the
one whose record and principles will not
endanger the future Yet there is reveal
ed at this early day conflict of opinions,
some supporting Randall in the interests
of business and party safety, and others
Carlisle on tariff principles. Since the
Democratic interest in securing the next
President is so great, it is conjectured
that policy, rather than principle, will
govern their actions, and Randall will be
the coming man.
Ex-senator Gordon, of Georgia, writes
that although he is tariff man for reve-
nue. only, he would not endanger the sue
cess of the party for the sake of sudden
and radical change, even if he had the
power, and he doubtless voices the senti-
ments of the leading Democratic polite.
ians of the country. AS the Republicans
will probably have little if anything to do
about the matter, they will lay back and
warily watch their opponents.

THANKSGIVING.

Tomorrow is the day appointed by the
President of this great commonwealth for
thanksgiving for the many bless
ings we enjoy, as a state, nation,
and individually, and when we
look about US we can see much that we
have to he thankful for. As nation we
are at peace with ourselves and all the
world beside Our commerce and trade
with other countries has been prosperous
and far exceeded our most sanguine ex-
pectations. We find ourselves the great
storehouse of the world. from which sup
plies must be drawn, and we have handed
out unsparingly. For these blessings let
US give thanks AS state we have
much to be thankful for Peace and
plenty reign within our borders !;
pestilencc and famine are unknown.
Our state officers are honest and capable,
and the affairs of state are administered
wisely and we'll. Minnesota the Queen
of the Northwest, is thankful that, dur
ing the past season, railroad connection
has been established with the Pacific
coast, thus opening to us a new avenue
of wealth. There has been great in
crease in our property valuation, and the
addition of vast number of thrifty and
capable emigrants to our rapidly increas
ing population. To-day, nearly million
of people make Minnesota their home
and our loved commonwealth is rapidly
ascending the scale of states to that high
rank in power and influence which she is
destined soon to attain.
AS county, we are prosperous in most
respects. The temporary disappointment
occasioned by the shortness of the season
and the subsequent injury to some of the
crops, while others have been exception
ally good is hardly to to be thought of
when we remember that we have surely
been making progress toward larger and
surer returns for our investments. We
have constructed and nearly paid for the
most stately and beautiful courthouse in
the state, and greatly improved and added
to our marts of trade.
And now, as individuals, let us not for
get to give thanks. 1t is true that to
some of us has come sickness and sorrow,
that from some of our homes loved ones
have been borne away, but yet none can
say it might not have been worse, and if
we have lived rightly we are sure to meet
them again and for the blind hope of
this immortal reunion let US give thanks.
To the great majority Of our homes,
health and prosperity has been the por-
ton and let US stop a moment, with all
the care and work and worry of life, and
try to look over the innumerable bless
ings we have been the recipients of dur
ing the past year. AS we think them
over, while our hearts are filled with
thankfulness for our own blessings, let US
not forget the poor, whom we have always
with us, and let us reach out to them a
helpful, loving hand. and make their bur-
dens lighter. And let the knowledge of
duty faithfully performed, and a firm re-
solve to follow more closely the path to
the better life, be the earnest desire of
each thankful heart.

TIE election this fall in Minnesota is
full of lessons for Republicans. The first
district, that used to roll up majority
for Member of Congress greater than any
other congressional district in the United
States, has been carried by the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor This old
and heretofore reliable Republican
stronghold has been taken by the enemy.
Every Republican voter should ask him.
self why and how this has come to pass.
There are not any more Democratic voters
In proportion to the whole nhmber of
voters in the district than there were
three years ago. The average Republican
voter has not lost confidence in the party
Generally the voters have not lost conf
dence in their leaders. 1t is the first duty
of the hour to seek for the causes Iof this
great change in the vote of the district.
Whatever the causes, they should not be
allowed to operate longer. The longer
we delay the greater will be the difficulty
in overcoming them. 1t is of far more
consequence to elect a Republican to Con-
gress next year than that any particular
man should fill the position. There are
Republicans who can carry this district.
The man who can do that is the man to
nominate, unless he is bad man. But
the lessons of the last two years must not
be lost to us. This is a voice of warning.
It is not too late to retrieve ourselves. But
care, Cancellation, and desire to promote
the general good, must take the place of
fractional quarrels. or we shall not have
enough left to quarrel over.
Will our Republican confreres through
out the district unite with us in working
from this time on until the election of
1884, to secure an old-time Republican
victory in this Congressional district? Let
us reason together Let us insist on
harmony. Let us rally the Republican
voters. Let every man be in his place,
and we can and will redeem the good
name of the first district:
