There was some stir in this town immedi.
ately after the Democratic Convention.
The fever is now over, and was cured by
the Little Falls & Dakota line of survey,
which survey is now in progress and party
in camp busy at work. What wish is
that another railroad excitement would oc
cur year from now, SO as to cure the po-
litical fever again in this section. Several
OF my friends having asked me as to how
am going to vote, and to Le frank, in my
way of answer, will say, that not man
will know, on the day of election, how
will vote, as shall ask the same permis-
sion on the day of election as was granted
to me in the Democratic Convention, and
that was for me to remain silent, as the
Convention was run by the Clerk of Court,
Sheriff, one ex-Constable, and saloon
keeper. If your readers should doubt as
to the truth of this, refer them to Hon.
VIM. Dragoo. The ticket, as before stated,
is good one, and no Democrat should GO
back on his own party; but the candidates
will perhaps remember that they were
| placed in the Convention where poor Tray
was, by letting certain men cast more than
their own vote, when there was a sufficient
number present. Does anybody trust that
the next Democratic Convention will be
conducted in such shape as to let them all
have an equal veice, and not treat their
fellow Democrats the same as I and num-
Der of others, placed at the door with hands
in our pockets, waiting for admission,
while the above named members were
smiling in their sleeves9
The question as to whether Framness
will vote the bonds, is mixed; but trust
they will, after considering the matter. /
had not been clear on the question myself,
until the other day, when I was on the
sidewalk in company with Colonel Munro,
when he remarked: "There goes toward
st. Paul. a string of empty cars What it
meant did not know, nor do now, unless
it is a plan of the Minneapolis wheat ring
to fill the warehouses, and not ship any until
the close of navigation, as at that time,
when insurance runs out an boats on all in
land lakes and river, about the 18th of No
vember, we always find a decline in wheat
because the boats must, after that date,
run their own risk. Why is 1t that the
Minneapolis wheat ring do not ship theil
grain and give room in the elevators for
the poor farmers, SO that they can sell
for good prices, get money and pay debts
Does it not look to you as game to fill ul
the elevators, keep it there and empty il
when lower prices, and then say, now
come, good farmers, we have room? / say
D. D. their room, let us get cross roac
and havs our own elevators, and let thu

That the Little Falls & Dakota railroad
is an enterprise which was inaugurated by,
and has the support of the most prominent
and influential men of this county, is q fact
that recommends it to the people as an en-
terprise, which cannot fail to promote our
mutual welfare, for if the county is to be
enriched the people will be benefited. Who
are our friends? those whose lots arc cast
with ours, or strangers who have no inter
est in the county, except insofar as their
private ends are served Those who have
taken up their residence with US, and have
invested their capital, are assuredly inter
ested in all that promotes our progress and
prosperity. We must look at the question
from this standpoint, if the Little Falls s.
Dakota railroad possesses the many ad-
vantages which its friends claim, the coun-
ty at large must receive substantial bene-
fits; it must prove advantageous to US all.
Hence in voting all must take lrto consid-
GRAFTON the fact. that this enterprise was
inaugurated for our mutual beneft it is
not scheme to enrich few at the ex-
pense of many; it is simple business
transaction instituted for the purpose of
ridding ourselves of an oppressive yoke,
and freeing ourselves from the grasp of
monopolies by legitimate competition.

The Minneapolis Tribune contains the
following account of sad accident, which
occurred in that city last Friday:
A pleasant little gathering at Judge Reas
last evening was suddenly turned into a
scene of terrible tragedy Between eight
and nine O'Clock last evening Miss Dicky
left the parlor on some little errand and
went to her Ow room. Her absence was
followed soon after by the discharge of a
revolver. When the company rushed up
stairs, they were surprised and Mortified 10
find the PROSTATE form of the young girl
lying on the floor, tell tale spot of blood
on the side of her head telling where the
pistol ball had taken effect The revolver
was found in its accustomed place, in the
upper bureau drawer, pointed upwards,
and clearly indicating how the terrible ac-
cident had taken place. Miss Dickey had
gone to her room, opened the drawer in
which was woman's usual collection of
laces, ribbons, etc., and in a hurried
and probably careless manner be.
gan to search for something In this
miscellaneous collection was a self-cocking
revolver, carrying twenty two cartridge,
which dangerous little piece of steel doubt
less became entanglcd in the lace or rib
bons, and was discharged with the terri
BILE result already noted The ball passed
into the brain where it is lodged.
Miss Dickey is a daughter of Judge
Dickey of Pennsylvania, at one time very
prominent lawyer and politician of that
State, and formerly a member of Congress
She has mother and other re latives living
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to whom the
terrible tidings have been telegraphed.

The turn affairs have taken, will, in the
event of our voting bonds give us either the
Little Falls 81 Dakota or the ST. P, M. g.
Nj. extension, in case the latter road build
the line no bonds viii be issued. The
people would, however, not be materially
benefited, for the only gain or benefit they
would derive would be greater and nearer
market facilities, there would be no reduc-
ton in freight, and no competition. The
building of y road from Morris to Browns
Valley would injure US, as it would cut off
our trade from the west; while road to
Sauk Centre only, would cut us off ON both
sides, for both lines being under the con.
troll of the St. p, M. &. NJ, Morris would
not, nor the towns on either side be com
peting points, and having no connection
with the Northern Pacific we would have
no lake port outlet. 9

An article elsewhere quoted from the
Little Falls Transcript states the exact po-
sition of affairs as regards the L. F. & D.
r. r. The ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba railroad company and the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis are directly in
terestcd in defeating our enterprise, and
they will leave no stone unturned to do so
Much of the trade of this section of country
would go to Duluth, and hence we have ex-
pected and must expect opposition from
the sources above named. A road from
Browns Valley TO Sauk Centre is some.
thing we do not want; what we require il
an outlet to the lakes, and in order to get
this we must pay for it. AS il will have
to be built by foreign or eastern capital,
we, in order to secure this aid must offer
inducements by bonus or otherwise.

MIR. EDIToR.-With your permission |
wish to say few words in reply to Franz
ness. In the first place it is sad refiec-
ton on the intelligence of the county to
assume that the present incumbents are the
only men fit to hold the offices of Auditor
and Treasurer i'll county composed Of
men of enterprise and intelligence, from
all parts of America and Europe, and
among whom men could be found fit to
govern State or nation.
In the second place the claim to fitness
from long experience is tacit acknowl
sdgement OF unftness when they first took
the offices. According to this second or
gument of Framness we should never
change president while he lives, and 60
into mourning at his death because we had
no man of experience" to take his place.
Framness cannot be SO ignorant of oul
institutions as to suppose it is Republican
ism to retain the same men always in of
fec. He cannot have forgotten the how
that was raised against President Hays by
the Republican press for adopting sucf
civil service reform which would kee,
them in office longer than was customary
in the United States.
He says more than once, at differen
places, has corruption gained ground be
cause the bad elements of the people havl
had chance to make their influence q
value" This smacks little too much o.
aristocracy for a Republican country lik,
this. The sentence spoken plainly woulC
be that the great unwashed, or workin!
people should have no right to vote, i
means great |, little you.
If he had stopped when he said ''le
both parties have fair trial." he woul,
have shown some sense and liberality
The present incumbsnts have had q lon
trial, now let their opponents show wha
they can do at filling the offices.

Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-10-30

The question of whether we have an out
let to Lake Superior is to be decided by
our votes next Tuesday. If the bonds are
votcd we get road, If they are not voted
we remain as we are. 1t is not very prob
able thata company which is unable to
purchase sufficient rolling stock 10 market
our crops can afford to expenG one million
dollars in the construction of worthless
and useless line of road. such rs the one
from Sauk Centre to Browns Valley would
be. The St. P, NJ. & NJ get all the trade
from the country which the proposed road
would tap without building the line, and
hence it is not very likely they will con-
struct it simply to accommodate the farm
ers. Now this whole move on the part of
the St. P, NJ. & NJ. is simply scheme to
strangle the L. F. s. D.
Tho enterprise is one that is full of prom
Use, it is one that will solve the fuel ques-
ton, and help to free our elevators. We
simply ask that both sides Of the question
be heard; we are sincere in our belief that
the line will be of great benefit, and are
working to promote the interest of oul
county and village, and honestly and can
didIy think that if we refuse to aid the en-
terprise we are doing ourselves an irrcpar
able injury.

The order issued by the railroad compa-
ny refusing to sell wood in less than car
load lots caused considerable grum bling,
but the last announcement to the effect
that..no wood would be sold to dealers, has
caused an intense feeling among the peo-
pie along the line. This recent order is
wrong, it is unjust the position the rail
road company have assumed on this fuel
question is mistake. What difference
does it make who buys the wood so long
as the demand is supplied? it can make no
possible difference to the company whether
they haul the fuel this or next month. 1t
is true they may wish to prevent the &C
emulation of large piles of wood at each
station, but there should be supply dur
ing the winter, as there is a possibility of
snow blockades, and there must necessari-
ly bo some provision against such a con-
tingency. The people have right to de-
mand that the company live up to their
promises, 1t was advertised in every
pamphlet issued by the company that SET
tiers would be supplied with fuel at reason
able rates, and it was a distinct under
standing to this effect that induced thou
sands to settle on these treeless prairies,
whe would not otherwise have done SO,
and now 10 be told that the new company
do not recognize the contracts or agree
ments of the old company is the last straw
that breaks the patient camel's back. The
people are not only indignant, they are
angry, and movement is under consid-
Grafton to petition the Governor TO convene
an extra session of the legislature, and see
| if the State has not power to compel the
company to live up to their promises or
agreements. To show we are not exagger
ating the condition of affairs we will quote
an incident which occurred the other day.
| The company's wood pile took fire, and
aside from the company's employees there
were not five men who went near it, the
people refused to stir or raise hand to save
the wood from burning. How different
from few weeks ago when the depot was
on fire, then every able bodied man IN the
village turned out and worked hard, and
saved the building and many thousand
dollars worth of property it contained
We regret to see this bitterness and il
feeling, as it always works an injury to al
concerned; but we think the railroad com
pany have acted and are acting agains
their own interest, and that they
have made serious blundor. The people
were promised supply of fuel if the set
tied upon these lands; they did 20, ant
now are right in demanding that the com
pany keep their promises. They canno
afford to buy at wholesale, they canno
wait week or two 10 have an order filled
and if the company consult their interes
they will at least rescind the order refusinl
to sell to dealers.
