democratic party OF the county Of Burleigh
and territory OF Dakota, recognizing the
fact that nd effective political work can he
accomplished without Organization, hereby
associate ourselves together in the
name OF tho "Trip club" and
laying aside all personal relations,
whether of emnity or friendship,
pledge our active support for the success Of
the democratic party throughout this o
~ and territory at the coming election.
We further heartily endorse the democra
tic platform OF this territory, aud pledge
our cctive support by voice aud vote 10
Hon. Bartlett Trip for delegate TO COR
gross.
On motion it was resolved.
THAT WHEREAS, " the citizens Of Bur
leigh county, believing that the nomination
of the Hon. Bartlett Trip Of Yankton the
best that could have been made tor the
standard bearer Of the democratic party tor
congress, and knowing that he has presis.
tenty fought for the extension Of the Moth.
ern Pacific railroad, and that he was one ot
the earliest champions of the Black Hills
cause, and a gentleman worthy OF our I'm
tied support therefore,
Be Il Resol,yV, That VI pledge him our
united support, aud that We will use all
honorable means 10 secure his election,
But democratic papers aud democratic
local organizations were promptly squelch-
ed by vigorous use Of the telegraph and Tie
mails aud the whole campaign speedily or
gained upon a Bon.committal basis. TripI
was to be Known only 10 the faithful as .
democrat. To others be was to be the
great and good hypocrite who should crave
their votes irrespective Of party affiliations
This is how it happens that new corners
into u territory are uncertain regarding
his political status. But here at home
where he is known, there is no thought Of
discussing his democracy. 1t is Of the
pure, uuadulterated sort and any intimatior
that he is anything else than q democrat
would be resented as an open Insult by the
faithful.

BARTLETT TRIPS DEMOCRACY

Several republicans iu the eastern palt
Of the territory have written Us asking If il
is true that Bartlett Trip is a
democrat and if he is pledged 10
support the principles of the
democratic party. We answer most un :
hesitatingly that Mr.. Tr,pp is a democra. OF
lifelong convictions aud that be never pre-
tended to be anything else, though he las
been politically silent during this campaign
for the purpose of catching votes from un
wary republicans who have not been in the
territory long enough to post themselves
upon his political record. He belongs TO
that species of democrats known as the
dyed in-,he. wool variety and was so far
given over to the iniquitcus ways OF bis
party iu his more youthful days as TO not
only oppose the war bu. to run awsv from
all participation ia it and hi 'e himself with.
III the seclusion Of the Rocky mountains.
Mr.. Trip has never pretended TO be any
thing else than a democrat, though be is
during this campaign, as silert as The grave
upon political questions. This course is
the studied course of bimseifan his parlv.
Their work is among republicans They
venture not an opinion nor in Gehaif of
their cherished belief. hu. arc waiting uu-
Ill the campaign ends aud then, should sue

before been an aspirant for Office in Dakota
Four years ago he was a defeated candidate
for the Legislature upon the democratic
ticket. During subsequen, campaigns he
has spoken on his political side of the ques-
top, but now that he is himself at the head
Of the ticket and his election depends upon
the number of republican votes he can
bring to his aid, policy suggests that the
subject of politics be kept out Of the cam.
paign. Some Of the democratic papers and
the local democratic organizations did not
understand. in the beginning, the plan of
operations laid down by party managers
and before they conld he communicated
with their party enthusiasm moved them
10 give to tho campaign the political aspect
which the nomination of a democrat for
delegate to congress naturally suggested.
For instance. the Sioux CITY Tribune thus
commented on the nomination:
Mr.. Trip L. a staunch democrat, and was
never anything else. II our democratic
friends across the boundary line do not win
a victory this time the fault will rest with
themselves.

Lands.
Dcadwood Times. li,h.
How did the Indians get into the Red
water valley, is a question that is pulling
tn. minds ofthe average citizens al present.
The officers of the Bismarck stage company
say they did not cross their road FROM the
east and the a. aertion is corroborated by the
drivers and messengers on the line, and the
ranchers living along the route. Still that
valley and the country beyond there are
alive with scalp-llteis from the lower river
agencies.
One of the %couriers on his way to the tele-
graph builders, between the Hills and Vel
lowstone valley, was driven in by the Indi-
ans Saturday night. He ran into a large
camp Of them about %thirty-tive miles north
ives. from this city, aud in making a detour
10 a,cape them ran into another camp some
miles distant from the first, and then he dis
covered all over the prairie in his course, as
far as the eye co aid reach, camp fires of the
reds, and he turned back to Deadwood.
Now, how did the lower agency Indi AIS
get west of the Hills? Those who have
given the subject thought are Of the opinion
that they took to the country SIX ring the
southern base of the Hills, aud thus eluded
the soldiers who are looking after them
along the Pierre route. and on the prairie
ordering the northern foot hills. II ia evil
dent at any rate, that they have out gener.
aled orr military again all around. Thorn-
burg's command, which has bee after the
numbering Cheyennea, was resting at last
accounts in the sand hi,ls of northwestern
Nebraska, and half furnished. where all
traces Of the Cheyenn IS had been lost.
In addition to this u%nfavorable aspect OF
our local Indian affairs, the report comes,
unauthenticated, however, that the Spotted
Tail reds had burned their new agency
buildings and were making preparations to
raise HI on general principles.
Such is the picture Of our local Indian
affairs as it is presented to Us at present.
How it will look a few days hence is hard
to conjecture, but it will doubtless grow
more interesting as the moon waneS.
