OMAHA, Oct. 12.-The election in
the city to-day passed off in quiet
and orderly manner. Much hard
work has been done on both sides, but
determination wide spread among
the voters to have the best men, with
out regard to policy, has led to much
scratching of tickets.
Hall county-The entire State
ticket goes Republican by an over
whelming majority.
Cass couuty-The State ticket goes
Republican by good majority. The
county ticket is divided. The Sheriff

Clay county-The Republican State.
county and judicial tickets are elected
by So majority.
OMAHA, Oct, 12.-ReturDs up to this
hour. 80 a. m, indicate that the Re-
publicans have carried the State by
5000 or 10000 majority. A heavy
vote was polled.
OMAHA, Oct. l3.-Completed returns
come in very slowly. Enough, how
ever, is known to show that the esti-
mated Republican msjority-ten thou
sand-is none too low. Douglas goes
strongly Republican, except in the
case of Sheriff, where the Republican
candidate is elected by only sixteen
votes, and Col. Jas. W. Savage, Dem
ocrat, for District Judge whose ma
jority is 43l. The new Constitution
has doubtless carried by very large
majority. 1t is not expected that any
thing like complete statement can bo
given before Saturday.
NEW JERSEY.
NEWARK, Oct. 12.-The city election
resulted in immense Republican ma.
jorities. Henry j. Yates is elected
Mayor by 1890 majority. over An
drew Smalley, Democrat. The Re-
publican gain over the last Mayors
election, in May, is over $500.

The Republican majority in this
county is cut down very low. The
fact is, it was almost impossible to
avoid it. The contcnding elements
in our own ranks as to what is the
best Legislative course to pursue, in
order to control the sale of spirits,
has done it. The party here stood
between two fires, and the inevitable
has followed. Kirkwood's majority
will not vary five vote. from thirty.

The Dubuque Times after conversation
with Senator Allison thus sums up the
cause which led to failure to succeed in
the treaty with the Indians for the Black
Hills.
l. .No presents were provided for the
Indians. This custom il almost sure pass
port to their confidence.
g. The interference of white men half
breeders, Government agents aud contrac-
tors, with any and all propositions that did
not involve immense sums of money, in the
way Of subsistence and annuity goods, for q
long series Of years.
5. A determined opposition on the ar
Of the yonng men Of the various tribes, and
also of the wild tribes of the North, to the
admission Of the white man to any part Of
the reservation. This, our readers will re-
member, was the real cause of the distur-
bauce on the 23i Of September, when these
young warriors were organized for serious
trouble in case any Of the chiefs should on
that day propose to sell the Hills on any
terms.
A. The extravagant notions OF the sava-
ges as to the value Of that reservation; the
mass Of them believing that the Hills are
worth fabulous sum to the whites for
mining purposes.
s. Many Of them believe that timber will
soon be exhausted In tho present settle
ments and that the white man will grad
uaily encroach upon them, and that ia
these Hills, where timber and water are
abundant, they will finally find their POI :
manent home.
Oue thing may be regarded rs certain,
that no agreement can bs made In the near
future with them that Congress or the peo-
pie will approve. The sum offered by tho
Commission was great deal more than the
Hills are really worth, and we doubt not
more than Congress would consent to pay
and can only be justified on the grounds
that three-fourths Of the sum offered was to
DO used for their subsistence, which seems
most likely the Government will be oblig.
ed to expend for several years to come.
We have just looked over the ILdian ap.
preparation bills Of this year, to ascertain
how much money the people are annually
paying these arrogant and insolent Sioux
beggers. and find that this year there has
been appropriated In round numbers the
sum Of $1,6O0,0Oo, and find that this il
about an average Of what We have been
paying them for seven years past. OF this
sum $l,loo 90 was appropriated outside
Of any treaty obligations, and on purely
humanitarian grounds.
We are forced to conclude that the ex
travagant demands Of these savages, mad,
in most insolens way, will likely result il
total change Of method in treating will
the Sioux. They insist that under tn,
treaty Of 1868 no white man is allowed O,

OHIO ERECT.

The Buckeye Republicans have
been heard from, and they have vot-
cd. 1t does warm us up with great
JOY at the glorious result in that St: te.
When Bill Allen beat the gallant 0 ,c-
legged Noyes for Governor Of Ohio,
we were deeply mortified. 1t was
almost enough to lead an American
citizen to lose confidence in a govern
ment by the people. The great dam
ger to the success of good govern
ment to us, is the neglect of our best
citizens to attend to their duties ut
the polls. This has universally been the
case in Ohio whencycr-since Demo-
cratic cohorts fired upon the flag of
Fort Snmpter-the opposition to Re-
publicanism has succeeded. Every
time that the Republicans of Ohio
will rally in force to the polls, they
can succeed. As native of Ohio,
we feel proud that she has wiped out
the disgrace of calling to the chair Of
State, Bill Allen. as far as she can do
it, than whom there arc few in the
North, to-day, who were bigger Cop
perheads. and few, if any, who have
repentcd of their Copperheadism less
than he.
Even Ross county, tho home of AL
len. a stronghold of Democracy, has
walked up, reduced the Democratic
majority OH Allen four hundred, and
elected part Of its county Republican
ticket. In another place we give re-
ports as to majorities. 1t seems to
get better and better as reports come
in, and will, beyond doubt. figure mp
to be a rouser. Gallant old Ohio!
We shall feel better when we again
visit our native home.

IT is fitting that we should lay be-
fore our readers the political doctrine
laid down by the Ottumwa Democrat
for the future, in its first issue after
the campaign. In doing so we will
just publish its latin motto, its plat
form, and its leading editorial, just
as it appears in that paper:
MOTTO:
Album Emancipa Populum.
As this is given in Latin, it is, per-
haps, better to give what is the scnti.
mcnt intended by it, viz: "Emanci-
patton for white people," We were
not aware that white people were en-
slaved in this country. Next, we give
the Democrats platform in its own
sententious style:
OUR PLATFORM.
This is a government of white men,
made by white men, and for their
posterity forever.-D0uGLAss.
Then follows its editorial
THE STATE ELECTION.
From present indications Kirkwood
has carried the State by the usual Re-
publican majority, and the Legisla-
ture will be largely Republican.
"Wc are quite free in expressing
the opinion that had a bolder policy
hoo" a5nrtnd, ara FRO novsnrra4;e
banner hoisted in every county in the
State as it was in Wapello, the result
would have been different. Yet we
will not now murmur or complain.
The past cannot be recalled? Let us
look forward to the future. Hence
forth let us all pull on our oars in the
same direction, bind up the wounds,
bury the dead, and resolve on vig-
orous prosecution of the war.
''And we are encouraged to believe
that there will now be no more oppo-
sition to thorough organization of
the Democratic party by those who
are in earnest in this contest against
monopoly, money tyrrany, and the
Republican party. We must fall in
line with the Democracy of the union,
and prepare for the great struggle
against Grant in 1876.

told, to call that day two weeks.
The friend through whose influence
Pat had been induced to apply for the

do you get a big piece of paper and a

name. Fll set the copy for you"
Pat did as directed, and every night
for a fortnight was seen putting out his
tongue swaying his head over "Patrick

generally known as s'coarse hand"

The writer of this, in 1864, had forty
thousand dollars In gold. With that
gold he bought one hundred thousand
dollars Of greenbacks. With the green.
backs he purchased ten government
bonds of ten thousand dollars each,
making one hundred Thousand. dollars.
On these bonds he has drawn six per
cent. gold interest for eleven years. In
addition TO the bonds he received
from the Government ninety thou.
sand dollars in national bank notes,
which he has loaned out at rates of in,
terest varying from TO 10 per cent. an
mum. He desires to know now why the
government should pay him back one
hundred thousand dollars in gold when
he loaned it but forty thousand dollars
and received gold interest on twice the
amount loaned, as well as the interest
on ninety Thousand dollars OF national
bank currency ever since? When this
matter can be satisfactorily answered
