THE REP UBLICI.V 1ICKET.

ings of the Republican Convention held
Oh Thursday last. AS we stated in our
last issue, it needed 10 Prophet to fore
tell the result. We named every man
nominated, except the candidate for
Coroner, to two gentlemen who were in
our office the morning before the Con-
vention. We know the Ring 50 well
and their determination to take care of
their old stand-bys and Worthington
pets, that it is an easy matter to tell
jus: what they will do in any given case.
Three Or four weeks before the Con-
vention J. \. Town and Rev. VIM. NJ.
Bear got together to make upa slate.
They proceeded at once as follows:
For Auditorium. NJ. Bear.
For Sheriff.. Il. Town.
For Prolmtc-JU.lge-R. d. Barber.
Then they called in Jimmy Walker to
ask him whether he would withdraw.
Jimmy would not consent to the slate
i'll that form. So they rc-arranged it.:
For Aulitor-James Walker.
For rre;.surer-lIev. VIM. NJ. Bear.
For Sheriff.. n. Town.
s'or Fiobate Judge-R. D. Barber.
Then they issued forth, urged their
friends in the country to send delegates
pledged to that makeup Of the slate,
md so it was, With more than the usu-
al unanimity Town and Barber must
have three terms nd.rinning, and FL
der Bear who was left off two years ago
must bc Treasurer.
This ticket, Of course, will go through
again unless the people conclude to
smash the same old Ring slate into ev-
erlasting splithereens. And they ought
to do it, just to show the WortlIington
machine that the offices of this county
are not their exclusive property. There
is no chance for any fair and square po-
litical CANVASS i'll this county while the
old Ring men and methods prevail.
By waiting, and doing their work, and
cringing ard fawning 70 them, a good
man. peradvcnture, may get on the
ticket. but woe to any man, no matter
hoy good or worthy lie may he, who is
not infayor with 4 half dozen WORTH

GOING HOME.
BY JAMES g. CLARK.
Kiss me when my spirit flies
Let the beauty Of your eyes
Beam along the waves of death
While [ draw my parting breath,
And am borne to yonder shore
Where the pillows beat no more,
And the notes OF endless spring
Through the groves immortal ring.
[ am going home tonight,
Out OF blindness into sight,
Out of weakness, war and pain
Into power, peace and gain,
Out OF winter gale and gloom
Into summer breath and bloom;
From the wand'rings of the past
Inn going home at last.
KISS my lips and let me 60
Nearer swells the solemn flow
Of the wond'rous stream that rolls
by the border-laHd Of souls
| can catch sweet strains of songs
Floating down from distant throngs,
And can feel the touch of hands
Reaching out from angel bands.
Anglers frown and envy's thrust,
Friendship chilled by cold distrust,
Sleepless light and weary morn.
Toll in fruitless land forlorn.
Aching head and breaking heart,
Love destroyed by SANDERS dart,
Drifting ship and darkencd sea,
Over there will rightud be.
Sing in numbers low and sweet,
Let the songs of two worlds meet
We shall not be sundered long
Like the fragments of a song,
Like the branches of q rill
Parted by the rock or hill,
We shall blend in tune and time,
Loving on in perfect rhyme.
When the noon-tide Of your days
Yields to twilight's silver haze
Ere the world rccctles in space,
1lcavenward lift your tender face,
Let your dear eyes homewarl shine,
Let your spirit call for mine,
And my own will answer you
From the deep and boundlcss blue.
Swilter than the sunbcam's fight
| will cleave the gloom of night,
And will guide YOU to the land
Where our loved ones waiting stand,
And the legions Of the blest
There shall welcome you to rest
They will know you when your o3es
On the isles Of glory rise.
When the parted streams Of life
Join beyond all jarring strife,
And the flowers that withcrcd lay
Blossom in immortal May
When the voices hushed and dear
Thrill once more the raptured car,
We shall feel and know and see
God knew better tar than we.

STOCX RAISING.

The peOple Of Southern Minnesota
are turning their attenti ion quite l:srges
" to stock growing aad fad big money
in it The St. Paul 4 Sioux City road
have for sale the best stock lands in the
State. which can be bought at a low tig-
IRE. Parties contemplating engaging
i'm the stock business will do we'll to i'll
yestjeate these lands before purchasing
elsewhere. The winters are mild and
stock needs but little shelter and
only about four months feeding. We
learn that one gentleman at Sheldon
has 9, 800 head Of cattle and a. r. Ames
of WOrtllingt0n upwards OF 2,WO mead
of sheep. Between st. James and Slo!x
City herds of cattle numbering from ~
to 100 are not uncommon.-St. RAUL
dispatch.
The above item is correct with one or
two exceptions. I. Stock need feed
ing nearer seven months than four, but
they can be fed i'll the winter on our
ricl, prairie hay Which can be had in UNI
limited quantities for the cutting. 1t
is remarkable, how sleek and fat cattle
come out in tie Spring after feeding all
winter on wild lay. =. Mr.. J. Ames
has sold his sheep, which are still prin-
cimlly in this COUNTY, and Mr.. Alley is
bringing in several thousand now and
anticipates bringing good many thou
sand more. In fact, Eastern capitalists
who arc furnishing tho money for this
operation, say they will put 100000 i'll
to il the present investment does well.
THE COUNTY FAIR
The Fair is over and the unanimous
verdict is that it was Il success. The
rain Oh Thursday postponed the OPEN
ing until Friday, and extendt Il the Fair
through Saturday. Altogether, the
rain was probably favorable.
The show i'll stock was especially good
rs we have all along declared it would
he, a Ill it would have been better if par
ties had understood better the condi-
tions of entry, as many did not feelable
to pay the entry and other fees. Sur
prise was expressed especially at the
fine show of vegetables, as it was
thought Il little late in the season for
some Of the more perlshable varieties.
Considering the lateness of the move
ment and the amount of work 70 he
done in setting the first Fair on foot,
the success was a surprise to every one,
and great credit istlue the management,
especially to the President, a. l.. Run
yon, and the Secretary, G. Il. Pope, on
whom the bulk Of the labor fell.
On Saturday morning the English
Commissioners, and their party, who
spent the night here, visited the Fair
and expressed themselves us we'll pleas
ell with the exhibit. Persons from 9TH
Ell places who were in attendance said
the Fair was better than in some count
les where Fairs have been in operation
for 20 years.
We hear some complaints Of favorite-
ism, lasty awards and bad manage
ment, but OH the whole there is great
satisfaction expressed. Our columns
are open for any criticisms, which will
be useful to the management of future
Fairs.
Now that the matter is inaugurated,
we feel sure that Mobiles county will
not he long in ranking with the best
Minnesota counties in successful Fairs.

EDITOR JoURNAL: Will you allow
me space to answer Mr.. Walker. 5 arti-
Gle in your issue of last week. And the
article that Mr.. Walker replied to, l
would like you to publish also, as 1t has
not been published III the Journal, so
that the public can compare Grand
Prairie les" :rticle with Mr.. Walkers
and see how completely Mr.. W. has an
swered talk of his own manufacture
and not the questions asked. The FIRST
question asked by ''Grand Prairie" was.
WHAT authority the County Auditor
had to ignore the 'evying of taxes car
ried onto the Assessors botk?" lie
lodges this question Ivy saying, "Wm
Knapp did not prove up until May, 1873,
and W. II. Ingrallam did not prove up
until July, 1873" "Grand Prairie" did
not saya word about W. II. In graham
proving up. l will admit that the date
of proof as shown by the Land Office re-
cords is ." the first day OF May, rs lie
says. The land in question WAS carried
onto the Assessors book by the Town
Board of Equalization because it was
known to them that VIM. Knapp went
to Worthington Oh the 10Th day of A.
pril and came back OH the 30th Gay;
1878, and proved up Oh one of those
days. And it was 50 stated 1T the meet
ing of the Board by two persons that
were knowing to the facts. The Asses
sor's book then passed into the Audi
tors hands with this property on it,
And the Auditor had only one duty to
perform us to it, and that WAS to levy
the tax on it. Wien lie neglected to do
that lie Violated tile oath of Ills Office il
my opinion. The date Of proof ut the
Land Office is May l, as 1 admitted
That is not an uncommon thing ILL.,
though proved up Oh the last Of the
month previous. 1t IS well known that
the District Land Office makes returns
to the General Office ut Washington on
the last or first Of every month. Par
ties having business ut the District f.
flee on the last of the montl, sometimes
have their papers date4ln the first of
the next month alth0uoh proof is actu-
ally made III tile month previous. This
is done to save time and trouble, SUP
pose. This seems to lave been the case
III this Instance: When Geo. Hallas, of
Grand Prairie proved up OH his claim
it WAS dated Oh the first day of May, al
though the proof was made on the 9th
April. know of other similar cases.
Mr.. Walker, seeing this hitch, seems to
have improved the opportunity to pay
his political friend for past f;lyors.
