THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ISSUE.

The fundamental principle Of our govern
ment is now on trial as never before in the
history Of political campaigns. The theory
on which the democratic party is acting, the
principle upon which the democratic cam
paign was planned, and upon which, on
their part, 1t is being carried on, is that the
number Of those who are dishonest are more
than those who are honest that those who
are Ignorant, who are indolent and vicious,
who are ready to profit by robbery from
their more industrious and thrifty neighbors,
and those who are 80 weak as to be persua-
ded that such robbery is excusable, even
justifiable, together with those also who are
so weak as to be persuaded that a sham dol
lar is better for themselves than a real dol
lar ; that q dollar which will buy only fifty
cents worth or less of commodities is better
than a dollar that will buy one hundred
cents worth, are more in number than those
who are honest and intelligent, and would
maintain the sacredness Of contracts and OF
inherent and vested rights; who would
maintain the honor and integrity of the ma.
ton; who believe that a dollar should be
worth one hundred cents at all times and
everywhere. Never was this issue more
squarely made. Never were the worst p,s.
sions Of the multitude-their enyv. their
sel6shness, their cupidity-more vigorously
and persistent]y appealed to. Lord Nacau-
ley and other European opponents Of our
form of government have warned IA oi
this very struggle, and predicted the de.
feat Of our free institutions;, exeept tha,
they did not koretell That eminent ana
honorable statesmen Of the conservative
falsely called Observation-Disclosures would
lead the Onslaught. Nor did these English
Statesmen predict that 1t the time this con.
test should be going on in the great northern
intelligent, and patriotic section ofthe coun
try free institutions would b. entirely sup
pressed in the south by armed bauditti. In

The enthusiastic democratic managers of

and they accordingly waited upon Judge

cussion. He was willing, more than willing

For the sin OF patty treason the republic
cans of Moody county have deposed George
r. tanning from his position as chairman
Of the republican county committee and
given the place to D. Jacobs. Mr.. tanning
is the editor and proprietor of the Roscoe
Express and sold the influence Of his paper
during the campaign to Bartlett Trip, the

Letters from persons who have made q
thorough canvass of the Big Sioux valley
are unanimous in the assertion that the re-
publicans of that region will vote for Judge
Bennett, almost to a man. There is no
break in party lines over there. The usual
republican majority will come in for Ben
nett and added to this we will secure the
votes of all new corners of republican pre-.
delictions.

The evidence is conclusive that the agent
or agents of the democracy tried to pur-
chase the South Carolina returning board
for sos, 900 to be sent in $500 and $1,000
bills By a trusty messenger. When that
failed they tried to purchase four state SEN
ators and through the Moses court throw
the members of the returning board into

offering $4,000, 0oo, 900 of deprecated mon
ey for the peoples vote.

Knott, of Kentucky, Ben. Franklin, of Mis-
souri,, and several leaders, manipulators and
schemers of the democratic party, matured
the scheme in connection with George @.
lCannon, the Mormon delegate to con-
gress from Utah, and Delegate Fem,
Of idaho. Ny Mormon informant says
]. X. Luttrell, democratic member of con-
gress from California, who was consulted in
the matter by Knott, opposed the scheme,
because it would clothe Mormon hierarch
with too much power, and decisive action
was then delayed in anticipation OF an in.
crease of democratic members in the house
who would not oppose it, and the lossible
chance of the senate being democratic.
Hon. Benz. Franklin, chairman Of the house
committee on territories, in one Of his con-
versations with George 9. Cannon on this
subject SO Cannon reports here. told him
that the governments territorial system is
all wrong. No true democrat, he said, be-
lieves in territorial vassalsge, which is utter
ly foreign to the genius and spirit Of our
constitution, and just as soon as We can get
matters our own way in the senate, it is our
intention to cut up Utah, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and Wyoming into about six smaller
territories, and then admit each of them
into the Union with two democratic sena-
tors. Why, Mr.. Cannon, said he, there is
no reason why Idaho should not have two
senators and an equal representation in
congress with Rhode Island. That ter
ritory certainly has magnificent natu-
tral resources, and with a large
population Of your people, is a. capable Of
sustaining a state, governnen t as Utah, or
any other of the territories. As to the COM
plant of polygamy made against your PEG.
pie, that will adjust itself in time, and aside
from that there is no earthly objection to
you Mormons. You are all good democratic.

Delegates Cannon and Fem, who had
frequent consultations with the democratic
leaders on this subject last winter, but
chiefly with Knott and Franklin, and have
since their return been secretly at work car
rying out the programme laid down last
winter by the democratic leaders, are over
.sanguine of their success. Nov, any one ia.
miliar with Mormonism knows, that all the
church leaders have to do is to eraera GER

country. and it matters not whether it is
at all agreeable or not, they have to 60, as

is ordered to furnish so many,
and he selects the number from his flock
and they are on the march in short order.

correspondence Of the Pioneer Press.

Correspondence Of the Pioneer Press.
BENSON, Sept. 26, 1878.-Darvin
S. Hall, formerly Of Beaver Falls, but
now Of the Benson land Office, to-
day received dispatch that his
mother had died, and that his father,
3. D. Hall, could live but short
time. His only brothers, Ward and
Charles, remain with their father at
Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and will
no doubt be the next victims Of that
terrible disease, yellow fever. An
extract from letter recently receiv-
ed by D. S. Hall from his father
shows that precaution avails little or
nothing. He says: ''We build smud.
ges nights and mornings around the
house; fumigate the house with cot.
fee and brown sugar, burnt; have
just got some tar to burn and lime
to scatter around; have creosote in
vessels under and around the house;
camphor and "fetta'' in our pockets
and around the house; take three
times day table spoonful of sui.
plate Of soda dissolved in water, and
put sulphur into the water we battle
in. So you see we are fighting the
scOurge the best we can. Poor
folks, they failed, and one of the
most pleasantly situated and happy
homes is broken up. This is but
one instance. It comes home to us.
1t is terrible!
