To the Editor OF the Chicago utter Ocean

To the Editor Of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Rosebud Agency. d. T., Nov. 1S.-Learn'
Ing that some Of the eastern papers are KEEP!
SLED With sensational reports Of anticipated
Indian outrages, about to be committed BY
and believing that = few facts in references to
the condition Of the present attitude OF these
people would be Of interest to the readers OF
the Inter Ocean, I take pleasure in saying !:
The removal of these Indians from Ponca to
Rosebud was carried out IS nearly a. poss'-
bic in accordance with the presidents prom
ise to Spotted Tail, and wasaccompl,shedo on
Sept. 1. These Indians are now happily
situated in the country Of their choice ;tnel5
new agency buildings are being constructed
saw-nill and shingls machine are being run
in the vicinity ofthe agency for their benefit.
These people on accoun of whom so much
trouble is being borrowed, and on whose &C.
count the blood of 90 many newspaper cor
respondents and other interested parties is
beire chilled, are now doing their own
freiehting from tie Missouri river to the
agency, = distance of ninety miles, with their
own teams. There Is not, and has not been,
any dissatisfaction among them, except with
few ambitious soreheads, and there is less
reason At this time for anticipating trouble
with the people Of this agency than there
ever was in all time past. An experience of
over ten years 10 the Indian country leads
me to the conclusion that fair, honest, hui
name treatment among the Indians. as we'll
as any other people brings its own reward.
Very Respectfully, Wm. j. Pollock,
Special agent in charge Of Rosebud (spotted
Tail) agency.

the RESULT IN NEW YORK.
New York Tribune, 10Th.

new s1OCk 1IlUule, lSlns |
Official election returns from all but two
counties in this state, with unofficial returns
from these two enable the result to beshown
with a close approach to exactness. The
ereenback vote exceeds the predictions Of
some, and falls below the fears of others. 1t
is neither 10000 nor $4,000, but halfway
between the two-71, O2O, as against 20,2S2
last year. The republican plurality is
larger, it is safe to say, than the most san
guine republicans expected to see-S7,6l6;
the democratic plurality last year on secre-
tary of state was 1924, but it is only Just
to the comparison to remember that "
candidates on the democratic ticket last
year received pluralities Of $4,000 and &c.
600 respectively. The increase Of 20 1858 in
the total vote, over that of last year may,
no doubt, be safely cited as a proof Of the
peculiar interest which good citizens took in
q campaign for public honesty. The figures
in this showing which will attract the great.
est share of the public attention-those of
the greenback vote-wlll be construed in
many different ways, and which Of them is
the right one only the progress Of events can
prove. Ii the party should continue to in.
crease at the same rate, or at a rate at all
approaching it, it would not be long, o
course, before the organization would ceast
to be a balance Of power, and become power
itself. But il, as some suppose, the party
fairly exhausted it's strength in this last ef
fort. and is already wasting away, this yea
would have been its greatest. Between
these two opinions it will soon be easy tt
! decide,

The two republican candidates for the

THE swEErsER HOUSE OPENING.
Sioux Falls Times.

The social world of Sioux Falls gathered
last night at the Sweetser house to witness
and participate In the grand social event Of
the season, and the most extensive ball in
the history of Sioux Falls. The ball room
on the first floor was splendidly decorated.
At the rear of the room was q large flag ex:
tending entirely across the room. The
sides were decorated with numerous smaller
flags and pictures. Over the entrance to the
room were the words: We strive to
please" And we'll and truly did the host
and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Sweetser, carry
out the letter and spirit Of the motto. On
the north side of the room were the words
in red letters, "Sweetser House." About
sixty couple were present, snd the merry
dance was engaged in by young and old.
We have not Space to mention in detail
the elegant dining room furniture of Mr..
Sweetser, nor to give in full description of
cosy, elegant homelike rooms, nor the ele-
CANT parlor with its piano, books and furni-
ture. But enough to say it will be long ere
the good people of the Falls will forget the
pleasure Of the Sweetser house opening. We
predict for Mr.. Sweetser, with his elegant
house and afable manners. a generous pat.
ronage and hope that the pleasure of last
may be often repeated under his
hoepitable roof.

The Vermillion Standard, which in q
position to judge of the case, classes Capt.
Miner, the recently elected memoer of the
council for that county. as democrat. The
Standard is in a positioa to give an opinion
upon this subject, and as the Standard is
the only republican paper in Clay county
its opinion is the best we can obtain. Mr..
Miner was elected by democrats, was the
nominee Of their convention, and is accept
cd by them as n of the men they won
their victory on. Capt. Miner doubtless
desires recognition in the legislative eau
cuses of the majority, but We can see no
reason why We should receive it.

CAPT. MINERS POLITICS.
Vermillion Standard.

- SldllUdIu.
Nelson Miner was elected on the demo.
cratic peoples ticket. If the germ of re.
publican principles in his breast is not frost.
bitten, and he is still a "etalwart" supporter
Of the party, may we enquire of the gentle.
man what course he intends to pursue next
winter? Will he act strictly with the re-
publicans, or will he show his gratitude to
those who elected him-those to whom he
stretched forth his arms for assistance when
other avenues to Yankton were closed ?
Will he bestow any favors that NAV be at
his disposal upon democrats, or republicans?
We wish to know these things, beca 1se re-
publicans have got enough Of: men who per-
sist they are friends, while their actions
plainly show they are not. 1t looks to us
as if Capt. Miner did as much as any one
to defeat Bennett, elect Tripp and &C.
complish a democratic victory in Clay
county. If, We are wrong and he still swears
allegiance 10 the republican party, let him
one act in harmony with its principles.
Let him at least show some signs of repen.
lance for mistakes his desire for Office have
led him to make, but for goodness sake do
not let him manoueyre to slaughter time
tested republicans and then be made a hero
by those who survive his treachery.
W. have stated facts in regard to Mr..
Miners part in the recent campaign, and
we hope the friends Of the party in the next
legislature will consider the case and make
an example of his weakness; for his efforts
must be to further cripple those republicans
who fought unfinchingly one of the worst
battle grounds of the campaign. We ask
them to do BY Clay county republicans as
they would like to have US do by them-con.
sidering the interests of the party, of course.
