THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS!
Wisconsin and Minnesota Firm
for Honest Money!
BUTLER ssBUsTED'' IN THE OLD
BAY STATE
The Tammany Thieves of New York
Sent to the Rearl
Evidences Of Victory All
Along the Line

Reports from Tuesdays election
thus far rec eived indicate n gallant
victory for the cause of honest money
and Republicanism in the November
States North. In Wisconsin the en-
tire Republican delegation has been
reelected to Congress and the Repub-
lIcans have probably gained the Fourth
District. The Legislature will contain
a healthy Republican majority on joint
ballot which will insure the election
of an honest money Republican to sue
coed Howe in the United States Senate,
if no boiling is INDUCED in. The
Democrats have lost their grip on Dane
county, in which Madison is situated,
the Republicans there electing their
District Attorney. Milwaukee elects
the entire Republican ticket for the
first time.
The entire delegation to Congress
from our sister State, Minnesota, will
continue Republican in the next Con-
gress-Dunnell in the First and Strait
in the Second having been reelected,
while in The Third, Washbnrn is elect
ed in spite of the desperate efforts
made to sec ire his defeat.
Indications point to Buffers defeat
in Massachusetts and the success of
the Republican State ticket, together
with the legislature and solid Con-
gressional delegation.
The Republicans of New York city
combined with the anti-TammanyItes
for the overthrow of the Tammany
thieves and succeeded admirably in
their purpose.
While these encouraging results
cannot justly be claimed as exclusively
Republican victories, nevertheless the
candidates chosen are necessarily Re-
publicans: they represent certain prin-
ciples to which many honest money
Democrats are devoted1y and consis-
tently attached and who sustained
those principles at the ballot box by
voting for candidates who represented
them. Great praise should be accord
ed those Democrats who manfully stood
up and battled for principles while
their party nursed the fiat rag baby"

PRESCOTT INSURANCE CASES.

We are in receipt of the following
letter from j. S. White, of Prescott.
concerning the insurance cases of
Prescott to which we referred in our
last issue:
PRESCOTT, WIS, Nov. list, 1878.
EDs. RIVER FALLS JoURSAL:--In your issue
of Oct. sIst you say the prescott insurance
cases" were decided at Sparta, by Judge
Newman in favor ofthe Insurance Companies.
Only two were tried--the Etna and Hart
ford In the first, judgment was rendered
tor the plaintiffs for the fall amount OF policy
So, 900 and interest against the Insurance
Companies; in the second, the Judge granted
non-suit upon the ground you stated. Both
cases will probably be appealed to the Su-
preme Court The three other cases pend

Reports from the town of Union
have not been received by us up to the
hour of going to press and consequent
~ the vote from that town is not In
Guided in the above, neither are the
votes for Member of Congress in the
town of Maiden Rock, for Surveyor
and Coroner in the towns of Clifton
and Gilman, and for Coroner i'll the
towns of Maiden Rock, Rock Elm and
Trenton.
Klingensmith and Clements each re-
ceiyed u few votes, probably not to ex
coed 100 in either case.
From the vote given above it will be
seen that the Republican county ticket
has been elected with the single ex-
ception of John Burnett, candidate for
County Clerk, and that DR.. j. w. Ham
cock, the Democratic nominee, proved
to be the only one of the opposition
who was able to leave his competitor
behind in the race. When we consid-
er the situation in this county it seems
to us matter of congratulation to the
Republican party that it has done so
well. The fiat money folks have for
months been engaged in arousing the
prejudices of the people, and lest they
might not be successful in playing a
clone hand" consented to join Il lot of
our Democratic friends who, prompted
by the adage anything to beat Grant,
graciously waived formal expression
of their financial views; besides, our
Republican contemporary at Ellsworth.
earlier in the campaign, made the
Greenback portion of the opposition
happy by advocating their peculiar
principles; and next came the soldiers
convention to harass Republicans still
more. The result has justified the Po-
sition assumed by the Journal before
election that the Democratic managers
of Pierce county would utilize the
| Greenbackers to advance the interests
| of their own party DR.. Hancock was
| the only straight Democrat placed on
the opposition ticket and was the only
| candidate upon that ticket WHO was
elected, Notwithstanding the fact that
Messrs. Paine and Brown, two very
popular men who had acted with the
Republican party since its organiza'
ton, were candidates for the offices
of Treasurer and Register respectively
While Republicans generally through
out the county will regret the defeat OF
Mr.. Burnett, who was the peer OF any
of hisasSociates upon the ticket, there il
some satisfaction derived from the fact
| that the honorable and capable gentle
man by whom he was defeated is a
| straight Democrat, adhering to the
principles of honest money, instead OF
following the fiat, communistic teach
ings of those "boss' demagogues, Pom
eroy, Cary, Shupe & Co.
The vote polled is comparatively
light Notwithstanding the vigorous
canvass that has been made, being but
a tribe over $500 when it should have
exceeded 5000.

AT an association last summer we
heard an anecdote which deserves
general circulation for the moral it
conveys. A farmer had some calves
in a certain pasture located some dis
lance beyond the sckool-house in
which were his children, He daily
visited the calves, taking them salt
and other things conducive to their
health and physical growth. He wish
ed to- know of their progress. During
this time however, he never once
stopped at the school-house to see how
his children grew in intellect and note
the healthfulness of their surround
ings. Is this fair type of any one in
Pierce county?

THE SIOUX CITY wAsHou1.

The cuttiag away of the river bank at
Sioux City continues, and buildings are be-
ing moved out of the way of danger. The
Sioux City and Pacific freight depot has
been moved back fifteen feet, and prepara-
tions are being made for the removal of the
Illinois Central depot. The Dakota Suoth-
ern depot, which is situated between those
of the Sioux City and Pacific and Illionis
Central roads, is not at peresnt in much
danger, but the opinion is that it too will
have to be moved when tn, present high
water begins to recede.
The Journal, of the 23d says: After to-
day the large grain elevator of Hedges Bros.
will be the only building left in great
danger, but we understand that it will not
be moved, as the cost of moving would be
too great If the worst comes, its machin-
cry will be taken out and as much of the
frame be saved as possible Till then it
will not be disturbed Should the elevator
go into the river all the houses along Sec
on6 street on both sides will be in "tick-
lish" positions and will probably have to be
removed or torn dawn.
"The Illonis Central sidetrack has been
taken up from the Pacific depot to Pros
pect hill, and all small buildings south of
that line have been taken away. All the
ties and iron haye been taken from Perry
creek bridge, and only the frame remains
THUS the matter stands at present. No
plans for protection are talked OF or even
thought OF, SO far as we are aware, and peo.
pie directly interested are kept busy TAX
ing care of property.

THE RIVER.

The steamer Black Hills is loading for
Buford, and will leave this evening or early
tomorrow morning.
The steamer Durfee, w. w. Coulson mas
ter, and s. s. Coulson, clerk, got of for
Buford this forenoon.
A dispatch from Sioux City this afternoon
says that very little damage to the bank at
that place has been done since yesterday.
The river has fallen at this place about
four inches within the past "a hours. River
men are Of the opinion that the coming rise
will make the river at least foot higher
than it has been heretofore.
We learn that the river continues to cut
into thesbsnk short distance below Yer
million seriously endangering the railroad
track, which as already been moved back
to the base of the bluff. A violent whirl-
pool, which remains permanently at that
point. undermines the bank, and causes it to
cave in.

Yellowstone arrived to-day from Pompey's 8
