favorable, with buffalo and smaller game, and the

himself In readiness to start for his quarters

had chosen good home for him, where he might
live in peace.
Sitting Bull made an eloquent reply in which
he said -

eing driven by the Americans. They broke
treaties with my people. and then rose up and
fought against them, fought for our rights as the
first people on the part of the earth. They pur-

then seek to punish US for fighting. That is their
honesty. The queen would not do that"

with me, will come alone and fight the Amer

Sitting Bulls head men grunted assent and the
party retired. On leaving the for, for the camp,
Sitting Bull handed few beads to the police Off
GERS, as keepsake.
At the camp the braves embraced him aud gave
yells of assent. Reviewing what he had said to
the police when he told them that he had sworn
TO fight the Anne ricans again, even if he had to

The Frauds In Arso.,ook County

The Bangor Wing calls for an investigation OF
the palpable frauds committed by the democrats
in the September election, in the Madawaska dis
trict. We have frequently alluded to these frauds
The Wing says;
Mr.. Burleigh Republican candidate for State
Senator,) received over six hundred majority in
Aroostook County outside OF the se,tleme nts
largely inhabited by aliens. and yet after his cleo
tion was supposed to he placed beyond doubt,
pretended returns were forthcoming from that re-
gion showing democratic majority large enough
to overcome tne whole republican vote Of the rest
of the county. The evidence that these returns
were largely made up with the votes of of aliens
Is palpabe and conclusive, and 10 some instances
aliens aciuslly presided over the elections and
made out the returns. The documents show that
in some localities the votes returned cast are
equal 10 the whole number of legal voters and
aliens in the community, and other evidences of
fraud are so glaring that Que would be astonished
at such hardwood snywhe outs de of Madawas-
ka.
The case is one which involves something more
than the personal rights aud interests OF the candi-
dates for State Senator, even the political rights
of the people of Aroostook County. 1t affects the
purity of the balot-b box in Maine, and touches the
rights and interests OF every citizen in the legality
of the election of those who to sit IN the Leg
islature and make laws for the people.
