Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1879-10-22

TIE Hon. 8. L. Sphinx, Of Yank-
I'm announces himself - N inds.
pendent candidate FOR prosecuting
attorney. Sphinx li1xsSfhcs. He =
newer contented unlsss tearing
around for Office, petty - othsrwise.
And he il willing TO bleed Sbr any
party. He COURTS martyrdom.
WHEH the editors Of the Yankton
HEad ct '.riled," they never fail
TO cry @auxillary" at their contem-
poraries. The phrase il sterotyped,
and very witty. Az IN argument
its : wilter- regular shoulder-hit
from I corpse. Hunt up something
nsw, or seIl out Judge Burdick's
wards may b abb % help you.
VIZ are in receipt ofthe Wabasha,
N1inn.) Herald, . contemporary We
knew some years ago when We were
young in journalism. Our Mime
sota friend i an old and influential
journal, ever watchful Of the inter-
ests Of thlt wealthy county, and
more than Ill soundly republican.
We welcome il a. m exchange.
By our exchanges We notice re.
ports 81 destructive prairie fires in
different parts Of the Territory.
Moss u To firss originated through
carelessnsss Or cussedness, and the
los Of property in those new local
tiles h startling. Union county il
not proof against expensive roast
ings during the coming season, and
this net should not be forgotten.
"DEMocRArs have every reason to
feel the fullest assurance for the fu-
ture, - the prospects of success in
1880 are in every way encouraging"
remarked the editor Of the Yankton
Herald - he wiped away the tears
the next morning after the Ohio
election. Enoouragingf Yankton
wbiskey is causing that fellow to ses
queer visions.
The average democratic editor has
considerable trouble Just now. Ohio
il lost 70 the party, and Wisconsin
and New York arc - good a. gone.
From the condition Of things he i
not likely 10 find much consolsisn
in the states that did not secede.
The candidacy Of Grant tlooms
up plainly enough to make him
tremble. In his whistling to keep
up courage he says it would be no
trouble TO defeat Grant, ifnominated,
but when he looks at the solid re-
publican North, he 1orgets himself
and begins abusing Grant and every
body off different political belief.
Truly the life Of the democratic edi-
tor just now il full Of tears.
The editor Of the vermillion
Republican does no deny his love Of
democracy from the rebellion down
to the Yasoo and Kemper county
horrors. He says If his thoughts
are not republican, he is not to
blame. OF course not; . skunk is
not responsible for it's creation,
but when II seeks . species some
grades above its condition, criticism
i in order. Hence, il the editor Of
the Rspubl;can i . democrat from
belief, he should keep his place. We
do not wish our contemporary to ne
main in company where he is not at
home, nor il it our desire to dictate
his thoughts, but We believe in men
staying Just where they belong.
How Dakota would shake things
next fll il she were only 4 state.
With hsr large republican majority
the u. 8. senate would b sure Of
two sound senators and a member
Of congress with power TO vote. II
would give US chance TO show what
We can do. Then, too, hundreds Of
Dakota politicians are getting rusty,
who would possibly wink at the
governorship and many Of the
smaller Offices filed in states by cleo
tions. Divide Oak ota, if must be,
saw her in twain on half . dozen
parallels, II parallels have to be made
for the purpose, send Bismarck and
Drifting Goose aiioat, give Louns-
bury the right to "boom" all be
pleases, but let's put on long dresses.
Just Why in thunder We don't make
IN effort TO get Dakota into state
hood, Is strange, to say the least.
Brethren, let's pray for congress
no, save your wind in that direction
--we mean pray ct congress-. or prav
