DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Democratic county convention met at
the court house on Saturday afternoon. w.
Harmon, chairman of the county commit
tee being absent, the convention was called
to order by Lewis Martin.
On motion, Lewis Martin was elected
chairman and Geo. w. Marcel, secretary.

vile, the nomination of G. S. Guderiam, the
Republican nominee for county treasurer,
was endorsed; and also, that of A. Hilton,
for register of deeds.
On motion, Mr.. A. A. Merrill, of the town
OF Grow. was nominated for county COM
missioner of the Third district, and w. G.
Randolph, an old war Democrat, was nomi-
mated for coroner, and E. w. Conney, of
CenterVllle, for county superintendent of
schools.
The chairman stated that it was
committee, and by little
effort by the Democrats this county could
be carried by the Democrats.
On motion Lewis Martin was elected chair
man of the county convention and was en-
powered to appoint the other two members
of the committee. The convention was har-
monious.
On motion the convention adjourned.
Ihe Greenback convention was called to
meet about the same hour at the City hall,

QUEEN Is TRUMPS.

How She Called the Turn on the Old Man.
The following is play in one act, with
the scene laid in a Third street gambling
room: Seated around table are about q
dozen men absorbed in bucking the tiger.
The game is running high and they are play
ing her open. A few of the party are we'll
known business men and highly respected
citizens. All is breathlessly still; the gen.
teel African waiter tip-toes around the room.
and nothing is heard save the low and pre-.
else monotone of the dealer and the click.
click OF the chips as they are placed in posi-
ton.
Suddenly light football is heard, accom-
panied by the rustic of skirts. The GENTLE
men facing the door are surprised at the ap-
partition. It is the wife of welLknown
business man. Her husbands back ia
turned, and before he is aware of her pres
ence she is by his side.
The party are visibly confused, and the
game is momentarily suspended. He looks
up from his infatuation and encounters the
reproachful gaze of his wife. The scene is
fearfully trying; she conquers, and for once
in her life the queen is trumps. He rises,
no word is spoken, and they depart in
silence, and let it be hoped that he will visit
the place no more, forever.

TIE decision of the supreme court sus-
tanning the validity of the Thurman law re-
lating to Pacific railroads will have one good
effect. It will compel the companies to re-
serve portion of their earnings for sink
ing fund for the payment of their bonds,
which fall due twenty years hence. When
the roads were built the government became
the guarantor of these bonds to an amount
of about eighty millions of dollars. Since
that time it has been obliged to pay the in
terest as it became due, the only return re-
ceived being the credit for transportation of
mails and troops. On this account the gov
eminent is out of pocket to this date about
thirty-one millions of dollars, and the pros
pect that it would have to pay principal and
interest was exceedingly encouraging-to
the stockholders of the road. Now provis-
ion must be made for the payment of these
bonds, and q portion of the amount at least
will be saved to the government. The de-
cision will be universal subject of con-
graduation.

RICE's POLITICAL sTATus.

HIS Rep.bliconisns Touched for by Capt.
Russell Btokeley, Chairman Of the Repub-
Hca,e County Convention.
lSpeech of Capt. Russell Blakeley Before the
Republican County Convention, Oct. 20. |
Capt. Russell Blakeley arose to make an
explanation. He had heard it charged in
the convention that 81. M. Rice was a Dem
ocrat. Likely he (Capt. Russell Blakeley)
was as near Mr.. Rice as any other man, and
he, Capt. Russell Blakeley) denied that Mr..
Rice was Democrat. He (Mr. Rice) had
been Influenced and led by friends to accept
a Democratic nomination in the johnson
times, but Mr.. Rice's letter endorsing Lin
coin had never been revoked, and the Re-
publican sentiments then uttered were such
as Mr.. Rice now advocated and adhered to-.
Mr.. Rice was good Republican, and he
(Capt. Russell Blakeley) knew it. (Ap-
plause.)

THERE is wild runner afoat that Gov.
Pillsbury is the author of the Republican adj
dress signed by the chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee. It reads very
much like the messages which he is famous
for perpetrating. Some of the words are
trihe large, it is true, but so too are some of
the words in the annual messages, which he
admits to be his own composition. There
is trace of the style of Byron, Macauley,
Washington Irving, Geo. Lippard, Bancroft
Fennimore Cooper, Edward Everett and G..
P. R. James running through the address,
which corresponds so closely with what we
know to be written by the Governor in per.
son, that we have no difficulty in tracing the
authorship.

Gov. Pillsbury has written an address
which the chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee kindly signs, urging the
people of Minnesota to vote the Republican
ticket. We are not surprised at this. Gov.
Pillsbury having secured the nomination for
elected, and if the people of Minnesota
should conclude not to vote the Republican
ticket this fall, the third term aspirations
might be blighted. Consequently, much
may be pardoned to his zeal in behalf of the
third term boom.
Two-thirds of the address is devoted to
demonstrating that the existence of this
country as Nation, with a big N, depends
on the election of the Republican
ticket in Minnesota this fall. There
are no national issues, no members of Con-
gress, not even legislature to be chosen
this fall, and it would appear, if there ever
was time when the people could treat the
State election as purely local matter, the
present was that opportune moment. Gov.
Pillsbury being candidate for the United
chosen meet year, feels it important to win
this fall, and, guided by his own ambition,
he sees national matters at stake in the
present contest. The claim is 80 absurd and
purely personal that it deceives no one, and
we do not believe voter in Minnesota, who
has any brain whatever, can be Influenced
this fall by the waving of the ancient
bloody shirt, no matter how furious it may
be swung.
When. he reaches the portion of his adj
dress which urges people to elect him to the
third term on. account of the manner in
which the Republicans have administered
the affairs of this State, he reaches the sub
Unity of cheek. All the blessings which
have been showered upon the State, no mat
ter whether from heaven or Congress, are
passed up to the credit of the Republican
party. The Republicans came into power az
the party of reputation. They deliberately
repudiated the major portion of the State
debt, and to this day both principal and in
terest remain unpaid. Having thus COM
menced life, with a clean sheet AZ it we're
having wiped out all difficulties By repudiat-
ing the State debt, it was an easy matter to
drift along with the tide in a young, grow
ing, vigorous State like Minnesota. Gov.
Pillsbury claims for the Republican party
the credit of having constructed three thou
sand miles of railroad because that party
has been in power while it was being built

tile camp to negotiate supplicate-for
peace and for the surrender of the guilty
redskins and the prisoners. Perhaps it will
teach Mr.. Sohurz wholesome lesson if
these men share the fate of Candy among
the Modocs, and in such an event they will
receive little of public sympathy.
Although Chief Ouray, of The Utes, is
friendly to the whites, and DESTROYS of main
tanning the peace, he is not the controlling
spirit of the nation. He says he will willing
ly surrender the murderers of Meeker and
his associates, but it is universally admitted
that he cannot fulfill his promises. He is
even unable to release the prisoners now in
his camp, the captors insisting on holding
them as hostages until their demands are
complied with. The result will be that not
single one of the murderous. gang will be
punished, and that in order to save the lives
of the prisoners the government will have to
sue for peace and submit to every exaction
the Indians may desire. Gould anything be
more humiliating-more imbecile? "
1t is very evident to every man of peroep-
ton or common sense, that the interior de-
partment is incapable of controlling the In
dams. Such affairs as that at White River
agency are becoming altogether too
common, and instead of being pun
ished, the perpetrators of these
hellish deeds are invariably rewarded, and
are ready at any time to repeat the atrocity.
1t is useless to attempt to govern the Indians
by moral suasion. The only argument that
will prove of any avail with them is the ar
guments of bullets and bayonets. Force is
the only law they recognize and respect, and
this they should have to the full. No Ute
concerned in the late massacre should be
permitted to live, and if the tribe at large
refuses to deliver them up to justice it
should be held responsible for the deed and
driven to the death. All the regrets in the
world will not atcne for tho death of Meeker,
Thornburgh and their companions. The
imbecility that characterizes the Indian pol
icy is almost past endurance. It is only to
be regretted that those who are responsible
for it we're not among the victims of savage
rage, for being dead they might serve to
point moral and adorn tale as to the best
way of managing the Indians, but alive they
are constant menace to, the lives of the set
tiers on tho frontier, and are in reality
chargeable with all the massacres that have
occurred in the past or may occur in the
future. We trust that Gen. Sheridan will
cnntinne his danunciatiopa of THO ;reooo
policy until change is wrought.
