The difference between the two DO
litical parties is well illustrated by the
difference in the back-pay records of
their two candidates for the Vice
Presidency. Governor Hendricks took
and kept his back-pay as Senator,
while Mr. Wheeler, as a member of the
House, wheeled his straight back into
the United States Treasury. Their
tests did not occur at the same time.
but it is none the less true that one
kept his 'swag," and the other refused

Santa Anna, who led the army of
Mexico during the war between that
country and the United States in
1916. and who was the first President
Of the Republic, diea at the city Of
Mexico June 20, aged 81 years. Santa
Anna was successfully the dictator,
President, and military leader of his
country; was several times deposed
from power, but each time managed
to recover himself; was prisoner OF
war in the hands of his opponents, and
lost leg in battle. He was shrewd
leader and gallant soldier. His last
exploit was in 1869, when he headed
an expedition from New York to in
wade and capture Mexico. Reaching
Vera Cruz, he and his expeditionists
were captured on shipboard and held
as prisoners. Santa Anna was tried
and sentenced to death, but President
Juarez pardoned him on condition
that he would leave the country, never
to return. He then went to New
York, and after residing their several
years, was given permission to return
to Mexico, and subsequently, resided
there in quiet old age. Few men in
history he'd more eventful or stirring
careers than he.

SALT LAKE. July 5>-A special
correspondent Of the Helena, Mont,
Herald writes from Saltwater, Mont,
July 2: "Maggins Taylor, scout for
Gen. Gibbon, got Mere last night d.
.ect FROM Little Horn River. Gen.
Custer found the Indian camp of about
1000 lodges ON the Little Horn, and
immediately attacked the camp.
lister took FIVE companies and charg-
ed the thickest portion of the camp.
Nothing is known of the operations Of
this detachment, only as they trace it
by the dead Mpjor Reno command
ed the other seven companies, and at
tackled the lower portion Of the camp
The Indians poured 10 murderous
fire from all directions. Besides, the
greater. portion fought on horseback.
Custer, his two brothers, nephew,
and a brother-in-law, we're all killed
and not one of his detachm escaped.
Two hundred and Sc zen men were
buried in one place, and the killed are
estimated at 300, with only 81 wound
ed. The Indians surrounded Reno s
command, and held them one day IN
The hills, cut off from water, until
Gibbons command came in sight,
| when they broke camp in the night
and left. The seventeen fought like
tigers, and were overcome by M ere
brute force. The Indian loss can not
be estimated, as they bore off anu
cached most their killed. The rem
naDt of the Seventh Cavalry and Glib.
| bon's command are returning to the
mouth of the Little Horn, where the
steamboat lies. The Indians got all
the arms of the killed soldiers. I here
| were seventeen commissioned officers
killed. The whole Custer family died
at the head of their column. The ex-
act loss is not known, as both Adju-
tants and the Sergeant Major were
killed. The Indian camp was from
three to four miles loug and was
twenty miles up the Little Horn from
its mouth. The Indians actually
pulled men off their horses in some ia
stances. | give this as Taylor told
me, as he was over the field after the
battle. The above is confirmed by
other letters, which say Custer met
fearful Disaster"

was, being III narrow ravlne. The

These dispatches were sent to show
just how many fraudulent votes New
York Democrats must stuff into the
ballot boxes to carry the election.
Horace Greeley compared the returns
reported from certain wards that year
with old returns, and found that a
great fraud bad been perpetrated. He
thereupon wrote letter to Tweed s
friend, closing as follows: "Mr. Til
den, you know what this contrast at

In order that all may be benefited by

those who are unwilling to wait few
