The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

Everything from Maine seems to be of a
Republican flavor. Two hundred and nine
towns give Davis 46,796, Garcelon Il, 1872,
Smith 29,621, scattering 553. The same towns
last year gave Connor 3s,667, Garcelon 1889,
Smith 34,538, scattering "a. The Republicans
majority in these towns is 1929 against Aba
opposition majority last year. Towns to be
heard from gave last year the Republicans
1887, Garcelon 1859, Smith 1888. If they
come in like the others the total vote should
stand: Republicans 6s, 500, Democrats q 200,
Grcenbackers $4,000, and Davis will lack 2 800
of election.
Senator Blaine to Senator Allison, of Iowa:
"The result of to-day's election may be
briefly summed thus: We have carried a large
majority of the House of Representatives and a
majority of the Senate, apparently, though not
certainly. We have given our candidate for
Governor a plurality of more than 10000 votes
over the Greenback candidate, and 10000 over
the Democratic candidate. Whether we have
be determined by further returns, and possibly
by the official count. On joint ballot in the
Legislature we shall have a large majority, thus
controlling the Executive Council and selection
of all state officers. The majority against us
last year was over $4,000, equivalent to 60, 900
majority in Illinois, to 50, 900 in Pennsylvania,
or to 100 900 in New York. To overcome this
enormous majority in an off year, with no
general election pending, was, of course, a
difficult task, and our Republicans feel that
they have made a splendid fight, with most
gratifying results. "J.G. BLAINE,
Chairman Republican State Committee

Some Facts about the Indians.

Written for the Review by o. r. CHAM1L11.
There are three dispised races in the
United States; the Indians, the Neg
roes and the Chinese. There is a strong
hostile feeling towards all three of
these races. The feeling is mirrored
in the journals and legislation of the
day. There is strong party in the
land actively warning against them and
unlikely to be satisfied until they are
stamped out Of the land. These three rae
es have given us q great deal Of trouble
and are likely to disturb us much more.
We have got to do something with
them; but just what itwill be is hard to
determine before we know them better
than many people seem to. I wish to
state in this articlea few facts concern.
ing the first named Of these races, the
Indians.
Il. The fact as to their numerical
strength. Two opinions prevail to
some extent. One is that the Indians are
gradually dying out, and the other is
that they are not. According to the
census Of 1850 there were over four
hundred thousand Indians in the Unit
ed States; but the report Of the Indian
Office for 1860 brings the number down
to 22554, 800 which is q vast falling of.
For 1870 we have two reports. one OF

Mason Phelps and Henry
Bergman.


Bergman.
4 young man named Dibbs, from
Sibley county, in company with anoth-
er young rascal named Osland, put up
at the Pennsylvania House one day
last week. The former represented
himself rs the sheriff Of lie Sueur
county and that his companion was a
prisoner whom he was conveying to
LIE Sueur, that the chase after his bird
had been longer than anticipated and
that his greenbacks had given out, but
he would remit as soon as he reached
LIE Sueur. OF course Mr.. Phelps was
only too glad to accommodate 50 dis
tinguished guest, money or no money,
and at onced placed the best the house
could afford before the hungry strang.
ers. After supper had been partaken
of they took a ramble around town and
finally dropped into Bergman s saloon,
where they passed the time in card
playing. After playing several games
and drinking all the lager they wanted,
Dibbs blandly informed Mr.. Bergman
that they were "strapped," but that
Mr.. Phelps, the proprietor of the
Pennsylvania House was his uncle
and would set things Alright. Berg
mann took it all in, and they retired.
In the morning, afer partaking
of bounteous, breakfast, they took
their leave, but none too soon, as their
idendity was fast being established,
and Bergman had their team seized
before they got out of town, but they
ponied up and were allowed to go on
their way rejoicing. They are two
dead-beats of the worst kind. Pass
them around.

Indian Office. The former gives the
population 81, 7l2 and the latter 313.-
'37l The report Of the Indian ONCE
for 1875 Is 3O5 ,O6s and for 1875, 291 81
1872 These figures show q gradual de-
crease II the Indian population; and
this Is confirmed BY the last report Of
the Indian Commissions. From this
report it seems that exclusive Of Alas
ka the number Of Indians is $50, 1854
against 25l 900 in 1877, and 2e8, 900 in
1875. The gradual decrease in the In
dian population as shown in these fg-
ures may not be permanent, however;
for this falling off may be largely due
to such causes as have recently cut off
so many Of these creatures; and when
these are removed the figures may
go up again. If we cake particular
tribes we shall find that the in-
crease in population is with them
as among other races. Thus
since 1909 the Cherokees have increas-
ed from 1895 to q ,O72 and this in the
face Of the depressing influence Of re-
movals and loss by civil war. The
Seminoles have increased since 1870
from 1888 to 5000. Within forty years
the Sioux are computed to have in
creased from 25 900 to 10000. Other
tribes show an increase. It is the opin.
ion Of DR.. Riggs and Williamson that
the Indians increase quite rapidly in
their wild state unless some such agent
as war, famine, or pestilence disturbs
Them. The first effect of a change to
civilized life is to diminish their num-
bers; but recovering from this their
growth is even more rapid than in a
wild state. Probably there are not in
the country no two men more competent
to express an opinion on this subject.
The conclusion of Major Clark, who
has given much study to this question,
is that the theory Of the decline and
final disappearance Of the Indian pop.
ulation as result of their contact with
civilization will have to be greatly mod
fled OF abandoned altogether.
The conclusion to which we come
seems to be about this: If left to the
natural cause Of things the Indians,
either in a wild or civilized state, will
increase their population; but if they
are continually disturbed on their res
ervations and compelled to move from
one to another, subject to such devilish
treatment as the Cheyennes have SC
recently experienced, it is not in the
nature of things for them to hold their
own; Not even savages can endure to
go five days, in midwinter. without

Iwish l were preacher, and

There is considerable excitement in
the political world. Discussions grow
warm and violent. What will be the

no prophet can foresee. The great but
of contention is the supervisorship. If
