The Storm In Dakota.

EDITOR GRANT COUNTY HERALD
As the last thing has been said that
can be IN the columns of the HERALD
that will effect our election to-mor-
row, this simple statement of facts
will not be considered political.
am not writing this to discourage
any from going west who desire to
do SO but 1t may be matter of in
terest to some who contemplate go
ing and also to some who may have
friends already there. My son land
only child) thought he wanted to 60
west with his family. year ago this
fall. He hitched his team to his
wagon and went to view eastern
Dakota; thought he had struck it
big. Early in May last he loaded his
family into his wagons with what
things were necessary for their com.
fort on the journey and started, tax
ing along about twenty head of hor-
SEES and cattle. They made halt
in Kingsbury county, the second
range of counties from the Minneso.

southern line Of Dakota, where they
say they have a wonderfully nice
country; and no doubt it ls, while
the sun shines and mercury does not
fall too low bnt this late storm
struck them. 1t commenced on the
night of the l4th and lasted until the
18th, when the fury of the storm
abated. During this time, three
days and nights, they report the
storm as being impossible for per.
son to face it for single minute.
This being early ia the season and
they having been very busy break
ing and putting IN feed for the win
ter, had not had time to prepare
stabling for them not even for the
borses, that would pro, ect them from
such a blizzard. When the storm
abated they found nearly all their
stock had persisted, including FIVE
grown horses, all excellent, good
ones. The value of his stock that
persisted could not be less than one
thousand dollars in Grant county.
Many of his neighbors who have
been there two or three years suf-
fered likewise, the storm taking in
many instances all they had. Their
nearest neighbor, for instance, had
been there two years; had paid all
his money on his land had family
of twelve and depended upon bis
cows entirely for their su oport. he
had fourteen cows and all persisted.
l expect my son and family to winter
in old Grant if health permits and no
accident befalls them, as have sent
them the means (Greenbacks) to
bring them by rail.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
OMAHA, April 1.-The Democratic State con-
vention of Nebraska adjourned at IL o'clock this
morning. The following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, In the Presidential campaign of 1876,
all of the historical Democratic policies of sound
financial home rule and purity of administration,
in issue and at stake in the candidacy of Samuel
J. Tilden; and
WHEREAS, In that campaign the Democratic party
raised the only standard, under which it merits vic
| tory; and,
country basely cheated of its wish and robbed of
its elected choice; the whole republic despoied
and our institutions injured; therefore
Res0LUed, That the Democratic party of Nebraska
pledges itself to the execration pursuit and punsh-
ment of all authors aiders, abettors, allies and bene
ciaries of that fraud and promises all its strength
to vndicate the principles of majority rule, which
alone perpetuate our Democratic forms of gov
ernment.
ReSOEUed That recognizing all Democratic leaders
as pledged to right the wrong done we pledge our
standard bearers one united support in such meas
ures as may again put ID issue the great questions OF
1876, and as may provide for their most certain vim
dicson against the crimes which, in 1876 and 1877,
struck down our elected President, despoed him of
his great Office, and deprived the Republic of the
benefit of Democratic government and majority rule
during the current Presidency.
The following delegation was chosen to the
national convention: Dr. Geo. l.. Miller,
Sterling Morten, DR.. R. s. Mallory, Jas. E.
North, j. W. Pollock, f. A. Harmon.
The delegation was chosen by three fourths
majority against all opposition and is solid for
Tilden. The convention adopted resolution
recommending the national convention to ad-
here to the two-thirds rule in nominating can
didates for the Presidency, deeming it mex
| pedient to abrogate it.
The result of the convention ahas been
reached after severe contest which took the
form of personal opposition to DR.. Geo. l..
Miller as the representative Tilden man of the
State, the recognized leader of his party and
member of the national convention.
