DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.

1t has been a prominent feature of the
democratic policy. since Trip was elevated
to his present representative position in
their ranks. to make all manner of misrepre.
sensations regarding the attitude of promi,
nent republicans in various sections of the
Territory.
We have heard that Trip was getting all
the leading republicans in Clay; that in
Minnehaha. the republican party had gone
all to pieces and was crystalizing around
the democratic nominee; that Union was
badly demoralized, and Lincoln county was
fast deserving to Trip.
We have become accustomed to this sort
of democratic Misrepresentation; we ex.
pect to hear it; it forms the principal fea-
ture in all campaigns during the early days
of the battle, and it should not surprise or
mislead the friends Of republicanism. The
story wi1fbe told in far away sections that
Yankton county republicans are shouting
for Trip, when the fact is there is no indi-
cation whatever that Judge Bennett will
not poll the full republican vote of this
county and carry l: by as large q majority
as has been the case for any of his republi-
can predecessors.
As a fitting conclusion to these remarks
we herewith present q letter from Q promi-
sent republican of Lincoln county, which
speaks for itself. We have held the letter
for several days to await a fitting opportun-
ity for its publication, and now give it in
order that Mr.. Cuppett's position may not
be misunderstood:
CANTON, LINCOLN Co. D. 7. Aug. 81, 10
MEssRs. BOWEN & K1NasBuRY: Mr.. j.
Gehon, Of this county, who vas a delegate
to the democratic convention to Yankton
called on me this morning. and informed
me that while in Yankton he heard it re-
ported that I intended to work end vote for
Bartlett Trip, for delegate to congress. I
want to say here that l have made no such
statement to any person. neither have I for
a single moment thought of such an idea.
And while 1 did not get my choice in the
convention, land, also, the choice of those
who sent me there,) I believe the conven.
ton nominated as good aman for the posi-.
ton as the party has in the Territory, and
am sure he will get my vote and all the in.
huence I have for his election. If you hear
any such report there as the above, you can
publish this statement Of mine, and that
ought to settle the matter. I know the
democracy Of this county are trying to
make out that 1t is an outrageous thing
that q Black Hills man should be elected to
congress. But It will make no break In the
republican ranks Of this county. 1t is my
candid opinion that Judge Bennett will re-.
ceive the entire support Of the republican
party, at least l hope so, and will work for
that result. Very truly, &c.
WV. N. CUPPETT.

AN AUTHORITATIVE DEsCRIP-
TrON OF HE'LL.

The following description OF the place
of eternal torment, by the Rev. J. 5.
Furnis, C. s. Il. R., was published by
authority in England. and was designed
for the instruction of the young:
"We know how far it is to the middle
OF the earth; it is just 1000 miles; so ii
hell is in the middle of the earth it is
1000 miles to the horrible prison of hell.
Down this place is horrible noise.
Listen to the tremendous. the horrible
uproar of millions and millions of tor
mented creatures, mad with the fury OF
hell! Oh! the screams Of fear, the groans
OF horror. the yells of rage. the cries OF
pain. the shouts Of agony, the shrieks OF
despair, from millions on millions! There
you hear them roaring like lions. Kissing
like serpents, bowling like dogs, and
wailing like dragons! There you hear
the gnashiug Of teeth, and the fearful
blasphsmies of the devils. Above oil
you hear the roar of the thunders Of
Gods anger, which shakes hell to its
foundations. But there is another sound.
There ia in hell sound like that OF
many waters. It is as il all the rivers
and oceans of the world were pouring
themselves with great splash down on
the floors of hell. Is it then really the
sound of waters? Tits. Are the rivers
and oceans of the earth pouring them.
selves into hell. No. What is it, them
It is the sounds of oceans of tears run
ming down from millions of eyes. They
cry forever and ever. They cry because
the sulphurous smoke torments their
eyes. They cry because they are in
darkness. They CRY because they have
lost the beautiful heaven. They CRY be-
cause the sharp FIRE burns them. -
The roof is red hot; ihe floor ia like q
thick sheet OF red-hot iron. See, on the
middle OF that red-hot iron floor stands
q girl. She looks to be about sixteen
years OF age. She has neither shoes nor
stockings on her feet. The door of this
room has never been opened since she
frat set her feet on this red hot floor.
Now she sees the door opening. She
rushes forward. She has gone down
upon her knees upon the red hol-hoor.
Listen, she speaks. She says: Il have
been standing with my bare feet on thii
rsd.hot floor for years. Day and nigh
my only standing place has been on this
red-hot floor. Sleep never came on me
for . moment. that l might forget ihii
horrible burning floor. Look at my
burning bleeding feet. Let me 60 Of
this burning floor for one moment. Oh
that in this endless eternity OF years
might forget the pain only for one singh
moment. The devil answers her quss
ton. DO you ask for moment-fo
one moment to forget. your pain2 No
not for ono single moment during ih
nsver-ending eternity Of years shall yo'
ever leave this red-hot floor.
