70 OUR PATRONS.

Having leased the ADVOCATE office for
one year, we desire to tender our thanks
to our numerous patrons for their COZ
dial support and we'll wishes, during our
brief sojourn as editors Of the ADVOCATE,
hoping that the change will result to the
benefit of the ADVOCATE friends. We
have been DESTROYS to put the office into
more competent hands, and we feel that
oil of our patrons will be benefited there
by.
Tho subscription books are turned over
and will remain in the office as the prop
erty of the publishers and we hope all
parties who are owing for their paper,
will bear in mind that an editor cannot
afford to run a paper for the honor.

relative to the roads, he is interested in in
this Territory. His faith in this Sioux
Valley is mistaken notwithstanding the
cloud that has lowered over it. aGod will
take care Of that country" he says, "and
it is now my intention to lay the iron to
Calliope in the spring; and unless matters
shape differently than now anticipated,
the road will probably reach Beloit or

LOUISIANA,

The Telegraph from this portion of the
Sunny SOUTH informs us Of the beautiful
state of affairs in that locality. The Demo
Gratis inaugurated Nichols, Governor, al
ST. Patrick's Hall n New Orleans, on the
sth. inst, and on the same day Packard as
Governor, and Antoine aslLisut Gov. were
inaugurated by the Republicans, and the
only demonstration other than large con
course of people at each Inauguration, OF
feeling was the defacing ofGov. Packards
carriage. This double barrelled arrange.
mers is fine thing, especially to those
who like that kind of a machine. We
had little experience under that system
on small scale in a certain county IN
Wisconsin years ago, ana It vas too rich
for our palate, but when 5ca,ne to States

victims of the grasshopper pest of Lin
coin county, Dakota territory, whom l rep
resent, the liberal donations by the benev-
client people Of your city? Without wish
ing to be invidious, allow me to return my
sincere and earnest thanks to the Rev b.
P. Goodwin, D. D., pastor First Congrega,
ton, for the prompt and bountiful collec-
ton $120.4O taken today at their morning
service, and for other valuable favors in
furtherance Of the object of my visit
These late winter storms are, if possible,
intensifying Che sufferings of our impov-
ished people, and our call upon the aid
and sympathy Of all is uttered with renew
cd energy. Friends, will you who have
plenty, kindly remember us, and leave us
a little New Years offering at tn Palmer
house office? Thankfully,
Agent for Lincoln Co. Dakota Terry.
We do not know who Mr.. Pelton is, but
it is safe enough to put him down as a
fraud. The people of Lincoln county are
not in condition to require aid. They
produced large crop of excellent wheat
last year and have received good prices for
it. PcltOn stops al the Palmer house, it
seems. Most anybody could afford the
luxury Of first class hotel with whole
church to back him up financially Press

We regret that the Press denounces Mr..
Pelton as fraud for what ever differ
ence of opinion may exist as to the policy
of soliciting aid publicly, a, above refer
ed to, Mr.. w. H. Pelton is a re-
spectacle citizen, and has the endorsement
of prominent residents Of this county as
to his integrity and assurance of III ap.
propriate distribution Of whatever fuads
he may receive; and the fact is many will
he greatly benefited and relieved through
his efforts in their behalf. We are some
what familiar with the general condition
OF the people Of this county, ana As 70 the
quantity Of wheat raised here last season
and it certainly would dispel our indlvld
ual approximations, could We obtain the

Senator Window, of Minnesota, was
nominated for reelection, by the Republi-
can caucus unanimously, and the Sioux
City Journal in abiding to the fact, truth
fully says: "Similar action the other day
BY the Republicans Of Michigan, in the
case Of Senator Ferry, and BY the Repub
licans Of Maine, in the case Of Senator
Blaine, indicates the purpose OF the rank
and file Of the party throughout the cotn-
Try TO DO emphatic in support Of the man
who prove true to their leadership. Il In
dicates, We may say, purpose upon the
part OF the Republican party to cease DICK
sring and unite for the protection OF the
best interests of the country and for IL
peace. The action Of the caucuses cited
therefore, has to some extent national in

taken IS the spirit that is in the ascsndsn
