ST. PArL, November "a, 1884.
To THE EDITOR OF THE Sum
So long IN absence from youf genial
atmosphere has caused decided chill,
and thinking that perhaps / might
employ my time by giving away our
friends from Morris who are as un-
fortunate as myself in losing the
grand Democratic demonstration that
we suppose you had on Saturday night!
But if we lost yours we had the good
fortune to witEess The one at Mime
apolis. which. of course, was not as
large as the one at home, but pretty
fair for stormy night. as the Minne-
apolitans turned out, in spite Of the
inclemency of the weather, to the
tune of three or four thousand
enough, at least. to make q Stevens
county demecru. feel that he was not
lone orphan.
The Republicans are very uneasy
about the possible policy OF Cleve-
land, and like the boy that whistled
to keep off the ghosts. are telling
themselves that there '>wiil be no
change of office-holders. because Mr..
Cleveland will be inclined to have u
pure administration. This latter is
true. and for that very reason he will
be liged to make the changes.
cor 1T FROM HEADQUARTERS.
have good news for the farmers
of the northwest. NJ. Igo and DR..
Hardy corralled Governor Hubbard
at the Merchants last evening, and
they secured promises from the foun-
tain head that there will bo favorable
legislation for the farmers this winter:
They have carried out the old adage
that when You have anything to dos
do it yourself. If practical farmers
like these gentlemen had been sent in
the first place, we would have had the
benefit of loa rates for the present
crops. and l am sure if they were ever
needed it is at the present time:
Watson, Larson, Brown, Spooner, Ma
ginnis, and all the boys, have gone to
the opera this evening to see and hear
Emma Abbott. DIR. Ueenan is here.
and also DR.. Sutherland. and Mr.. L.
H. Stanton and family; So you see
that the beauty and chivalry of Nor.
ris are enjoying themselves in the
twin cities. Mr.. Matt. Diedrich and
Mr.. L. C. Curtiss, / hear, are also III
town.
An excursion train, carrying to the
cities one or two hundred merchants
and traders from Watertown. Dakota,
and other towns along the line Of tho
Minneapolis and st. Louis railroad,
arrived 1T M'hHeapolis tonight, the
guests Of the city. and are being e!ia'
te:tainea at the West Hotel in the
royal style in which Minneapolis does
everything. This, l believe, is the,
second of this excursion advertising,
the first being the Jobbers'. OF last
simmer. l now predict that there
viii be one on each of the principal
lines OF railroad running into the
cities before the first day Of April,
and haze io doubt but that they
will bear their proper and legitimate
fruit in the way Of securing the trade
OF those parts OF the country repre-
sented. Will the Morris business
men never learn that d town will
not build itseir, and that il no effort
is made by the citizens, they win
some day awake from their Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep and lind their city out
stripped by every little burg in the
Vest AS It is, Norris has Superior
natural advantages, ana with the
proper s,nouht OF energy can be
made second to none.
Wishing that your Thanksgiving
turkey may weigh at least thirty
pounds. I remain
