To DEMocRATs.-W believe that
you are in nsed Of a little plain talk. Why
don't you attend the club meetings In the
different Wards? Those meetings are thinly
ATTENDED, and it would be well to know the
reason. II Is time that the democracy OF
act and there is no better way TO show
their disposition 10 do so than TO attend the
primary meetings, 1t is not sufficient that
twenty or thirty men turn out Ia Ward
there should be q bund cd st least. There
is strength in union. and let US prove that
union still exists. 1t ia encoursgin,. There
ars to be Ward meetings nearly every nigb
this week. and We hope 10 zee them attend
ed moe: enthusiastically. The Sixth Ward
holds its first meeting at Rsnvicks lumber
Office this. Monday. evening. The democracy
of the let Ward meet at Peter Liltig's tbi
evening, also. The object OF both meetings
is to form clubs Lst them be attend I'd by
every democrat In ench Of those Wards.
INDIAN pRIsoNERs. We learn from
Adjutant General Baker that there is pro.
pect that the rsprisyed Indians at Mankaio
Minnesota, are 70 te transferred TO this plnce
for safe keeping. 1t now require about full
regiment Of troops to guard them. To turn
them loose would ensure their speedy death
at the hands OF the outraged Minnesotians.-
BY bringing them here i. is thought that two
companies can take care OF them, thus econo.
mizing in troops to the extent Of at least half
a regiment. There are about two hundred OF
the red devils chained together Ia psirs Gen
Baker thinks they will be brought here i'm.
medistely.
The sorghum refinery project at Davenport
has been abandoned. The committee who
went to Chicago reported favorsbly on the
matter, but the wealthy citizens Of Davenport
couldn't see IT," and therefore, declined TO
invest. Now is the time for our Dubuque
capitalists to make . strike In this ma tier
There 10 money in IT., and It may - we'll be
made here ss any Dubuque Times.
Who gave the Times any right to draw sucb
. conclusion The "wealth citixens Of Daven-
port" we're never asked to "see IT," The
original project vas only dropped because
better thing came up, and not because onr
citizens expressed any uawilllnguess TO take
steek-for th.y we're never asked to do any
thing of the kind.
