The great Indian campaign is hzzle.
The columns under Gen Crook and Gen.
TERRY were gathered by stripping the
frontier posts of troops, and at great ex-
pensc were prepared to take the held
against the hostile Sioux. From the hrst
we suffered disasters. At Rosebud Creek
CRooK got the worst of II. Then came the
horrible massacre Of CUsTER's command,
from which SITTING BULL retired elated
with victory and loaded with scalps, guns,
horses, supplies, nccoutrements ana uni
forms. lie could afford to rest on his
laurels and await rather than invite attack.
Then the cry through the country was,
Send out more troops. strike the Sioux and
finish them up once for all The troops
were sent out. Crook and TERRY were re-
enforced. Under the plea of the need of
more cavalry for the great work of exter-
mination, 500 men were foolishly author
lied by Congress to be added TO the cavalry
regiments at an expense Of millions. and
ut a time when every reason Of economy
called for the reduction of our excessive
army.
With great flourish OF trumpets tho
columns Of TERRY and CROOK started after
SITTING BULL; that willy chieftain drew
them on and then, not caring to meet so
great force, and satisfied with his sum
mer's work, he scattered his warriors, and
taking different directions over a vast re-
gion Of country. they have so eluded the
pursuit Of our troops that TERRY practi-
cally gives up the campaign, and Crook
must soon follow his example. IL was
hopeless from the day OF the fight at Rose
bud Creek, where, failing TO punish the
Sioux, we lost our opportunity, paved the
way for the slaughter of CUsTERs men,
and the inglorious ending Of the campaign
which we now record. SITTING BULL has
beaten in strategy our most experienced
Indian fighters, and escaped with slight loss
and abundant spoil. Meanwhile we have
lost heavily in men, and in prestige with
the Indians, and the country has TO foot
the bills of the abortivo campaign.
Military operations must now be sub
stantially suspended until next year, our
troops soon going into winter quarters. II
has been stupid piece of business from
| q st to last. The war was unnecessary, and
was provoked by us; and our defeat in it
will tend TO stir up further Indian troubles
when another summer comes. Perhaps
the Sioux Commission, who are now at
Red Cloud Agency, may be able. by wise
negotiation and prudent measures OF pre-
vention, 10 stave of the threatened next
years hostilties; but we fear that their
work will prove practically fruitless.

authorities Of n single state that they can

laws. Ii cannot for one moment DE pre-
tended that n conspiracy or purpose OK
lists anywhere to prevent the negroes from
voting because they are negroes. Inc ut
most that can be alleged, even assun-
ing the unofficial information to bo true,
which is said to have been laid before
the President, is that some voters, because
they are Republicans, are threatened by
other voters who are Democrats with ex
clusion from the polls. This, IL true, would
be high-handed offence against the peace
of the state but II would he no offence at
all against the peace Of the United states.
Stripped of the cluIusy aud inaccurate
verblage of the Attorney-General's circu-
lar, the whole matter IL reduced to an i'll
reference by the military arm Of the
United States, in favor of one political
party against the other, in ALLEGED antici-
patton Of wrongs that belong exclusively
to the State jurisdiction. The case that
can alone authorize any interference by
the President does not exist ut all, and Is
not claimed to exist. But we have Pres
ident who is determined That HAYES snail
be his successor. and who expects TO Sc
cure that result through the blindness OF
the people as to the Illegally OF his acts.
We have put the case against the acts OF
the President upon tho assumption that all
that is claimed is true. OF course 1t is not
true throughout the South that there is
danger to the Republican voter from
Democratic violence. But in all ages and
in all free countries in which IL has been
necessary TO ind pretext for using milf
tary force to subvert the public liberties,
or to assist one faction in triumphing over
another. or TO retain power against the
real Will of the people, such pretexts have
easily been found. In the present case, the
best way to defeat the whole scheme and
TO make II recoil upon the heads Of its con-
trivers, is by so acting, by SO refraining, by
so avoiding all strife, by SO commanding
every passion aud curbmg every impulse,
rs to demonstrate the utter folly OF the
whole villainous pretence.

Hon. John N. frances, PfesidenL
DEAR SIR: have received your letter on
cially informing me OF my nomination for Gov
ernor by the Republican State Convention which
met at Saratoga Springs on the I'D OF August.
II IL indeed n great honor and one that
highly appreciate to receive again the nomina-
ton for Governor Of the state OF New York, aud
/ desire to make my cordial acknowled guents
therefor.
Already, through the favor and partiality OF
one term In time Of peace and one when the
country was at war for the preservation OF the
Union.
While did not seek the nomination at this
time II Is priced none tue less on that account
and leaves me no alternative but to formally
and gratefully accept 1t.
IL the nomination should be ratined at the
polls, shall hope to so discharge the high du-
ties OF the once as TO meet the approval OF all
just men.
The resolutions OF the Convention. EN- cd yinR
as they do, the platform adopted toy the last
Republican National Convention, together with
the excellent letters OF acceptance Of our candi-
dates for President aud Nice-President, meet
my cordial approval; ana as have In mess yes
and In various other WAYS so often made putlic
my views In relation 20 the proper management
OF the affairs 4 the state. AMI recently as the
18th OF June last, In calling the Republican Ma
ronh Convention to order, expressed my
opinion upon the promi pent national questions
now attracting puolic attention, 1t would appear
to be unnecessary to extend this commun lea

drinks strong liquors, the number OF drunken
people to be seen In tho streets is here incom-

The vermont Election.

The Republican majority in vermont NJ
Tuesday's election was 1887. In 1868 Yer
mont gave GRANT majority OF BIZ. In
1872 it gave him a majority Of 29,9i7. The
average of the two is 81 .0J5. The Republi-
can majority in the election of this week
falls 1903 below this average. This is a
heavy loss in a small State like Vermont.
But this is not exactly the fair way to
put it, exclaim the Republicans. You
should take the majorities on Governor at
the September elections in the years 1865
and 1872, and compare them with the re-
suits now, say the Republicans.
Well, we rather think this is the fairer
Test. At the September election in 1868
the Republicans got a majority Of H,226.
At the September election OF 1872 they got
q majority OF 25333 The average OF the
two is 26,2S0. Their present majority,
therefore, falls 1888 below this average.
The whole vote cast IN New York is fully
thirteen times rs large rs the whole vote
of Vermont. Hence, "A loss of 2,153 by the
Republicans in that state is equivalent to
O loss of about 5000 in this state.
This attempt by the desperate Republic
cans to get up sholH over Vermont re-
minds one Of the scared boy who tried to
whistle to keep his courage up while pass
