FIGHT WITH A TRAMP.

4 Desperate Life and Death Struggle IN
Which the Tramp Is Killed.
Lanesboro Journal, Sept. ~.
On Thursday night, the 18th inst, James
H. Gaines, who for several years has made
his home at Brownsville, Mower county,
having been to Austin, returned as far as
Ramsey freight train on the Milwaukee
& Est. Paul road, reaching Ramsey after
o'clock of Friday morning. By the same
train burly tramp, and, by the way,
a desperate character, who had Just
served q term in Jail at Austin,
also came to Ramsey, getting off
with Gaines. It being at the dead Of night,
each of the few houses was closed, and the
two, at the suggestion of which We are not
able to state, concluded to enter the small
sand house by the railroad track and remain
there until morning. They had but Just lain
down when Gaines felt the hand of the tramp
upon his hip, in search of his pocket. Gaines
Immediately thrust his hand in his pocket
and grasped his pocket-book, but no SOON
or had he withdrawn it from his pocket than
the desperate seized his clutched hand, and
a terrible fight ensued. The tramp held
fast to the hand of Gaines and Immediately
seized in his teeth the right ear of G., which
he bit nearly entirely off. In the desperate
encounter in the dark, grim, pent-up quar-
tors, both fought their way to standing
posture, the desperate in the mean time
selling Gaines thumb. in his
teeth down at the first joint.
Gaines was thus almost power.
less, and was rendered more SO by his an
tagonist selling him by the throat. Gaines,
however, HipPed the desperate and both
went down together. As they fell Gaines
put his hand upon small stone, which he
used, but to little purpose. A car coupling
pin was found in like manner, bnt before it
could be used tho ruffian seized one end of
it, and neither could for time make use of
it. It was more than evident
to Gaines that he must either
conquer, escape or be- killed. He
knocked out window, and as he attempted
to escape wrested the coupling pin from his
assailant and struck at him to break. his
hold, hitting him on the head in all proba-
bility. Gaines went to the hotel and re-
manned until morning, when he went to
Austin and gave himself up to the authori-
ties. Search was made for the desperate,
but he was not to be found about the sand
house, but was subsequently found
near the Touring mill, southeast Of

Gaines had not the latter fought terribly
for his life. The authorities evidently con-
sidered Gaines had done public service, as
he no doubt had, in meeting the rufian as
he had never been met before. @a
Gaines came to this place on Tuesday
and placed himself under the skillful treat
ment of DR.. Powell, who is endeavoring to
heal his ugly wounds. ~

has materially changed within the past eight

has materially changed within the past eight
days. He said: Il not only hope, but 1 be-
lieye, that Ewing will be elected. Up to ten
days;ago the Democratic State organization
had no money to work with, while now they
have plenty of it" The Senator also stated
that in his opinion the Democrats were GER
tain to carry the Ohio legislature, for the
state was so districted that it would be i'm
possible for the Republicans to elect a ma
jority in either house. With regard to the
late influx Of money into Ohio, it seems that
Mr.. Tilden suddenly became alarmed at
western criticism and the western situation,
and realized that he must, to make himself
solid, open a. ssbarl'' Immediately, which ii
is believed he did, and that the bulk of it's
contents rolled out into Ohio; therefore the
Ohio Democracy now have substantial back
ing, and are using it with good effect. Sen
ator Beck said that he believed Ewing's ma
jority would be small, but that it would be
sufficient. In regard to
A THE PRESIDENTIAL. QUESTION,
he considers that if Robinson is elected in
New York Tilden will be nominated by ao.
olamation, but that if Robinson is defeat
ed Tilden will never again be heard of in the
Presidential field. It was quite evident
that the Senator had no great faith in Robin
SONS carrying New York, although he ex-
pressed the opinion that Tilden's efforts in
his behalf would be simply herculean. In
case Tilden is out of the Presidential race,
Mr.. Beck believes that the contest will mar
row down to Thurman and Hancock. Bay
ard would doubtlessly be the Senator's per-
sonal choice, and he believes he would be
the strongest candidate that conld be
named, certain to carry New York, Connec-
hcut, and New Jersey, but he also believes
that Bayard would be hard man to noml-
late, and that there are really insurmount-
able obstacles in the way of his success in
the Democratic national convention. The
South, in Senator Beck's opinion, would
much prefer Hancock to any other man.
The Southern people now want to
BAR THE BLOODY SHIRT
out of the contest, and have faith that Han
cocks nomination would do it. He believes
that Hancock's nomination is really much
more likely than that Of any other person
yet named in connection with the Demo-
cratic candidacy for President. He expressed
the opinion that Hancock was the man on
whom the conflicting interests could and
would best and most easily unite.

4 Good Time to Smash Things.

Blue Earth City Post.
We shall be pleased to support the Repub-
ican State ticket, whenever the ticket sup
ports itself; or, whenever one part Of it, or
it's friends cease warning on the other part.
The unifcation of the ticket is one of the
essentials to its success Wee have heard
many leading Republicans in this county as
ssrt that they win not vote II, so long, aa the
present state Of things exist, and the sooner
things are fixed by an agreement to support
the whole ticket. the greater The. certainty Of
victory this fall. And yet victory means the
continuation in power of q corrupt ring of
politicians, who have long sought to manipu-
late State politics, and the: sooner it is
smashed, the purer will be the political at
mosphere in certain quarters. This fall is
as good q time as ever to do the smashing;
and as there isn't much to enthuse for the
boys can afford to lay on their oars and wait.

The candidates the Republican State

Democracy for the above nominations. y II
must be conceded even by Gov. Pillsbury's
,warmest friends that his nomination for a
third term creates no enthusiasm whatever,
even among those who feel kindly to him
personally, for the simple reason that guber.
material timber in this State is not 80 scarce
that it is necessary to saddle anyaman on the
party for three terms. OF course, the. Re-
publicans of the State, generally, will vote
for Mr.. Pillsbury, but they will do 80 out Of

A Talk With the Kentucky Statesman as to

/ Senator James B. Beck, of Kentucky,
stopped here to see Alexander Mitchell, pre-
sumably on political matters, and finding
that Mr.. Mitchell would not be home until
the first Of the week, proceeded on his way
to Prairie du Chien, where the Senator has
property interests, and where also he is in
terested, as the executor of the estate of John
g. Breckenridge IN certain real estate. SEN
ator Beck will return here Tuesday or
Wednesday, and confer with Mr.. MITCHELL
It is believed in political circles that Sena-
tor Beck, fresh from political conference
at Saratoga, desires to secure Mr.. Mitchell's
pledge Of support to whatever plan the Dem
ocratic leaders have arranged for the cam.
paign of 1880. While here the Senator ex-
pressed himself quite freely upon political
subjects, although he has the reputation of
being hard man to interview, and made
some statements that are of decided value as
coming from man who is an acknowledged
statistician and political prophet. In his

From the bond and lottery rings.
The swindling shylocks howl with rage
When they rend the truthful page.

honorable not I'd pay the bondholders. Not
one word have they 20 say for the poor school
teaehers and the laborers. 1t Is not dishon-
orable TO swindle them The laborer has
ceased to be worthy of his hire. Only the

the man who called the white people Of this

who Hooded this city and New York with
