THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The journal has had but little to say con.
concerning the Republican nomination
for Congress in this district. We have
been satisfied that the delegates, fairly
elected, and animated by desire to pro-
mote the best interests of the people and
the party in the district, would not make
q mistake in their selection. We simply
desire to say now, as our contribution
toward the discussion of the question,
that in this part of the District the
nomination of Mr.. Haskell would be by
far the strongest one that could be made.
There il no opposition to him here
among Republicans, and there is kind.
ly personal feeling toward him among
the opposition. He has lived in Doug.
las county from boyhood up and has to .
great degree the confidence of her peo.
pie. With him as q candidate We should
not be surprised to see Douglas county
roll up something like her old-time Re-
publican majority. This is considers.
ton worthy Of the attention of our
friends in other parts If the District.
There are more Republican gains to be
made here than any where else, and Mr..
Haakell is the man to ensure them to us.

AGAIN the enemies of Mr.. Blaine have
been tile means Of making him more
popular and increasing his chances for
the, Cincinnati nomination. Another
charge Of corruption was made against
,hiRzn relation to the purchase of q share
Of the franchise of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, few years ago. But like the
former charges Mr.. Blaine showed them
to be utterly false and groundIess, he
never having owned any of the bonds or
sstoeks'of t6s road. We hope Bristow
viii sbs: the Republican candidate for
President, but We must admit that
Blaine keeps in the lesd, and his enemies
linsteaa Of Weakening his chances for the
Cincinnati nominstion are continually
adding to his popularity.

decided that it has Jurisdiction in the

question has been raised as to whether a

To THE PATRONS Of ALLEN COUNTY

EDITOR lola REGISTER II desire to
circulate notice through the columns
Of your paper to the Patrons of Allen
County of an appeal for aid in behalf Of
the destitute in Colorado.
To our Brothers and Sisters of Allen
county: An appeal comes to you from
the Patrons Of Colorado. Their crops
for the years 1874 and 1875 we're almost
entirely destroyed by the grasshoppers
and many are now destitute of seed and
bread. Without assistance their fields
cannot be planted this season, their
planting season continues till July, and
there is yet time to send relief to them
if you will be prompt in your efforts to
send it forward. A small contribution
from each one of corn, wheat or money
will be sufficient to give them the relief
so much needed, and will make glad the
heart of many a destitute Patron and
and farmer in that Territory. Some two
months ago Hon. NJ. NJ. Everett and W..
D. Arnett of Colorado visited Kansas
soliciting aid for the Patrons of their
respective localities. They then thought
but little effort would be needed to pro-
cure all the assistance desired, but since
their return home they find the destitu-
ton more general than at first supposed
and again appeal to US for aid. We learn
that arrangements have been made with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. r.
and the Kansas Pacific r. r. for ship
Pihg supplies donated along the lines of
said road. We haye an abundance of
corn and wheat near these roads. Let q
portion of it be sent to our unfortunate
brothers and neighbors while those re-
mote from these lines of road can con.
tribute the value of q few bushels in
money. Those giving money will send
it to P. B. Maxon, Emporia, Kansas, and
he will forward it to the Master of Colo
RADIO State Grange. Grain should be
sent in car loads to NJ. ID. Arnett, Den
yer City. Now brothers and sisters let
us delay no time in acting promptly in
collecting necessary supplies from this
locality. The Patrons are requested to
attend the Pomona grange the End Sat-
urday in June, at Humboldt, to make
the necessary arrangements to send .
car load of corn at once to the destitute
in Colombo. Now Patrons we can well
appreciate the condition of our brothers
IN Colorado for, but twelve months ago
We Of Kansas, were in like circumstances
and had it not been for the timely assist
ance of brothers in more favored locali-
ties our people would have suffered, let
Us therefore improve this opportunity to
repay the debt Of gratitude We owe to
humanity by promptly sending assist
ance to our friends in Colorado.

The Indian Massacre.

From private letter written by Colonel
i. NJ. Brown to Hon. E 2. Walton, from
Bismarck, Dakota Territory, under date Of
June 18th, the following is an extract;
"You of course have seen before this a
much better or ful!er account Ot the recent
Slaughter by the indians of General Custer
and his men, than the one contained in our
| little local paper. witch send yor. and |
write more particularly TO say that Kel-
| logg. who went ont us cOrrue pondent of
the Tribune, was Nermonter, and has
often told us that he was a cousin to you
IN remote degree ], He was at one time
u telegraph operator and dispatcher
on the Northern Pacific, and was very
good newspaper correspondent, and since
have known him, his habits have been
inexceptionable. | know that he had the
confidence of General Mead, superintend-
ent of the railroad, up to last fail.
81 think there never was an instance of
such complete annihilatiOn of force as
| thiG, and il comes very near home to us
her, The fourteen officers killed were all
gentlemen that l have been meeting occa
| siorRlly and associating with for the past
| twoyears, and no regiment ever had bet
ter or more gallant set of officers than the
| Seventh cavalry. There could be nothing
more sad than the condition Of the poor
women over at the fort on the reception of
Ithe news. Twenty-nine in all, l believe,
were widowed by the disaster, and while it
as hard to criticise an officer who shared
xthe ,hte of his followers, the feeling is gen.
Yeral that had orders been obeyed, and the
precAution of good generalshipin an Indian
country observed, the sad result would not
have happened.
"0f course the Bismarck people, especi-
ally the ladies, feel little timid and nerv-
Gus, but do not think there is any danger
this side of the river. There seems to be
but one course for the government to pur-
sue now, and that is to have their last In
dian war. 1t is time that the policy of
feeding two armies should end. Old men
and squaws stay at home and draw rations
at all the agencies, while their young bucks
are ont fighting and scalping white men.
ave are having considerable Black
Hills excitement, and large per cent of
our laboring population has gone there.
