Some Good Reasons.

The reasons for beating the Liber-
al-Democratic- Reform party are a.
plenty as bl lex berries 10 August.
/. Itis the Democratic party under
false names. Ii is afraid TO meets its
own record, under its old banner
which is a confession of guilt.
2. 1t knows that it has been tried
in the court of public opinion and
condemned for political crimes aud
misdemeancrs. As it has not repent
ed, it ought not to be pardoned.
3. 1t cannot have new trial on
the ground that it has connected it.
self by marriage with a small family
of soreheads, and thereby become
virtuous.
4. TIE connection was marriage
of convenience" discreditable to the
parties interested. Instead of i'm
proving them or showing higher
principle it has degraded both. 1t
was disreputable alliance to get in
to Office.
5 Pretending to be anti-monopoly
the Liberal Democratic Reform party
has affiliated with the worst monOpo
lists in the Union. It's most promi-
nent man, now representing the great
est stronghold of Reform, is ont OF
the welthiest men on the continent
He made bis money out of monopo-
lies.
6. In the city where the discordant
elements of the new party united for
foray upon the treasury, proml-
nent member of the party has de-
nounced it as "fraud" and "swindle. "
He accused the successful candidate
of using 1920, 000b money" to get
nomination. But the so called Re-
form party sustains the accused, who
is not only openly charged with cor
ruption, and declared by his fast
friends, incompetent for the place,
but is under indictment for defraud-
ing the revenue.
Z. The Liberal-Democratic-Reform
party is now run by the corrupt Mill
waukee Regency. 1t is an off-shoot
of Tammany and Tweedism, with
the greediest monopolists and worst
specimens of whiskey ring corrup-
tionists added. The violaters of law
the open rebels against legislative
enactments; the birds of prey; the
bri3ers, the lobbists, the Wells and
Rindsk opfs, rule this Regency and
will control the State if the Liberal
Democratic Reform ticket wins

The October Elections.

The election results in the several
States for October show a gain by
the Democrats of not less than twelve
members of the House of Represents
tives. So far as heard by latest dis
patches we summarize as fellows:
In Iowa the full Republican State
ticket was elected by majoritIes
ranging from So, 700 to 10000. Eight
of the nine Republican candidates
for Congress were elected by MAORI.
ties of from one to six thousand.
In Dubuque district Ainsworth
(Democrat) was elected over Grang-
er Republican, by forty majority.
The Democrats carry Ohio by
$4,000 majority. OF the twenty
Congressman elected twelve are
Democrats-a gain of six for the De-
mocracy. In this State the temper.
ance question was raised to the in
jury of the Republicans and their
defeat was doubtless on account of
their legislation in favor of temper
ance reform. The Cincinnati Ga
zette says of the platform upon which
this victory rests that it embodied
"repudiation, imitation, anti-temper-
auce and general cussedness.'
Nebraska elected the Republican
State ticket by 10000 majority, their
Republican members for Congress
and majority of the Legislature
which latter secures the election of a
Republican u. S Senator in place of
the renegade Upton.
The result in Indiana secures the
election of the Democratic State
ticket by $4,000 maj GRITTY, and a ma
jority in the Legislature which en-
sures the election of q Democrat to
the U. S. Senate to succeed Pratt,
Republican. The Legi-latare stands.
Senate, Democrats % Republicans
"a. House, Democrats 50 Republi-
cans 81 Independents 10.
Dakota elects the Republican Con-
gresham by about 2 900 majority.

The Coming Election-Rally, Rally

On the third day of November next,
only twelve days hence, the electors
of Grant county will be called upon to
choose and decide who shall be elect
ed to fill the county offices and to
represent the county in the Assembly.
At the same time their vote may de-
termine who shall represent the coun.
ty and sustain and defend its interests
and principles in the Senate and
House of Representatives at the Ma
tional Capitol. If the people of Grant
county wish to sustain the great prin.
ciples of the Republican party, they
must be alive and active. They must
awake their former energy and ar
dor; they must come up Gas one man.
and show to the world that the Re-
publican party of Old Grant still re.
tains its purity and strength, and il
not only able but ready and willing to
expose error and corruption, to pro.
tect the work, to insist upon equal
rights to all and to preserve intact
the whole platform of the Republican
party.
Let no man, then, on election day
excuse himself from voting. Leave
your cornields, your blowing and
your ordinary avocations for that one
day, and regardless of rain or storm,
or slight inconvenience, do yourself
what you have perhaps heretofore left
for others to do; vote the whole tick.
ct, secure the election of a Congress-
man of known ability, character and
reputation. Examine thoroughly the
whole county ticket on both sides and
select judiciously between the two,
and the result will most assuredlv be
that the old line mixture making up
the Democrstic-Llberal-Reform ticket
will be again, as they have often been
before, elected to stay at home.

are open for successful DENIAL of
this whole article, and we shall feel
gratified at once. But until such is
made, to ou- entire satisfaction, we
shall denounce Mr.. Thompson as un-
worthy the office in our National
Government of which be is a candi-
date. and, in his stead, we shall place
the Republican nominee, II. S. Ma
COON, believing be is better qualified
70 serve the people. And further, if
Henry S. Magoon is such man as
we have made out Mr.. Thompson to
be, then down comes his name from
our columns and in goes our protest
to his election. But Henry s Ma
COON is not charged with anything
dishonest to manhood, or disloyal to
the Fundamental principles he advo>
Gated and practiced. He is an up
right, honest and straightforward
mai, endowed with classical educa-
ton. Not politician, but a states
man. And the people of this District
want representative in Congress
whose integrity can be relied upon.
We cannot believe that any boat will
sail into Washington this fall whose
anchor is dragging on the suffrages
of innume.able parties, pretenses, or
issues. Tue helmsman must guide
his craft clear of every rock that
shows its cold, grey head above the
political sea, and steer straight
through the storm on to the beacon
light of honor, and eommendaOle iD-
tegrity, and the calm that shall fol-
low will be serene and perfect, I'M
disturbed by the personal gales that
sweep over the sea of dishonesty
and false integrity.
Henry S. Magoon has dropped his
anchor in political waters, and to-
day it lies firmly Embedded in the
Republican party. We do not think
any more of him for that; but he
aspires to be statesman, and es-
pouses all the qualities necessary for
maintaining such distinction among
men. In his character, we find all
that is needful TO make him an hon
orable mau, possessed of disposition
AID qualifications to serve the peo-
pie, as well as the nation, with the
highest degree of credit to himself,

gressional District of Wisconsin.

A Black Hill Mining Party have
Desperate Fight with Indians.

Sioux CRY, Oct. 16.-A party OF
seven-O. B. Orion, James q. Ogg,

and d. n. Allen, of Yanktop, ID. II;
John Lowe, of WIchetaw, Kansas,
and B. L. Baden, of Niobrara, Ne
braska-left Yankton ten days ago for
the Black Hills, and on Sunday, the
18th inst, were attacked by party
of Brule Indians at the mouth of the
Little Platte, forty miles from Niobra-
ra, when desperate fight ensued, in
which Lowe fell dead, pierced by
three bullets. Baden was shot thro'
the chest and wounded fatally. Or
ton was shot through the arm, and
Allen was wounded by an arrow in
his leg
At the time of the attack the party
was in camp, and the men asleep,
when the Indians surrounded them,
and attempted to stampede the stock,
which awoke the men. An Indian
then fired, and the seven men each
returned the shot, when the Indians
poured voley into the camp.
The fight was kept up for fifteen
minutes when the Indians withdrew,
taking their dead and wounded, (which
are thought to be at least ten.
The whites at once started back
with one man dead, three wounded
and the mules crippled. They travel
ed all night, leaving Baden at set
Element, and burylng Lowe five miles
further this way.
The tent had q ball holes through
it, and the wagon became drenched
| with blood from the wounded.
The Survivors returned to Yankton
yesterday, and being trustworthy citi
zens, the story of their adventures may
be relied upon.
Apprehensions are felt for the safe
ty of the party of twenty. seven who
left this city for the Black Hills, and
who intended to travel in the track
of the Yankton party. The Indians
are understood to express determin-
alton to prevent white men entering
the hills at all hazards.

in process of adjustment by the present
agent. When that reaches the State
Treasury will be time enough to claim
credit for it. Hopes are held out for
other receipts, as there are said to be
other agents not heard from. If there
be such agents who have failed to re-
port any trespasses up to this time,
the hope cannot be very strong that
they will be heard from hereafter.
What have said above in regard to
Gen. Hartman applies solely to 1873
His accounts for 1872, which | inquir-
ed for yesterday at the executive office,
could not be found, but for 1871 Gen.
Hartman, in addition to cash COL
lected, recovered judgments in the
United States District Court for Min
nesota, or obtained stipulations for
judgments to the amount of $4,000,
and at the rate of $40 per thousand
feet. Two of the cases, amounting to
1913, 900, were appealed to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
have not been reached on the calendar.
The remaining cases stipulated to
abide the result of the two that were
appealed. These were all suits in re
pleven and security was given in each
case, and it was in reference to all
these cases that $4,000 was expended
in litigation The questions involved
were of great magnitude, the first be
ing the right of the state to the lands,
and second the amount il was entitled
to recover. My predecessor wisely
Judged it best to employ the ablest
counsel to be had, and the result jus
titled it, and in view of the amount
and legal questions involved, the sum
paid was reasonable. When the Re-
formers can show recovery at the
rate of $40 per thousand on 1000 600,
instead of 81, the people will be glad
to allow them S., 900 for legal services.
The recovery of judgment was in
the u. s. Circuit Court, Judge Miller,
of the Supreme Court, presiding. -
His decision was that the title of the
land over 100000 acres, was in the
State. Parties against whom iudg-
ments were obtained, threatened to
take the cases to the Supreme Court
if would not compromise with them.
My answer was: "That is just what l |
desire you SHOULD do, as the State
wants the opinion of that court as to
whether the lands are hers or not.
Had compromised, though it wo'd
have made a good showing OF money,
II would have been utterly fatal to the
interest of the State, as the Attorney
General has given an opinion that
would have resulted in the lands be-
ing put into market, but for the fact
that the question was before the SUI
preme Court.
Respectfully yours,
G. G. WAsHBURN.
