THE MEETING IN AARONS-
BURG.

The Democratic meeting in Aarons-
burg OF Saturday evening was a large
and lively one, yet everything passed
off in best order. The Democrats OF
Brush Valley had PROMISED to turn out
In force and most nobly did they re-
deem their promise. They came in
uniform, with music and torches, and
were joined here by the Millheim dele
cation, which was also headed by our
cornet band. The entire procession
that left here was large and presented
a beautiful, imposing appearance. The
people presahhs at the MEETING must
have numbered nearly one thousand,
and it was perhaps the largest night
meeting ever held In this end OF the
county.
The meeting was organized by ap-
pointing ID. A: :Musser, Esq. President,
assisted by number Of vicepresidehtS,
j. H. Reifsnyner and J. W. Runkle,
Secretaries. J. L. Spangler, Esq, and
Senator c. T. Alexander delivered
speeches. These were at once able,
eloquent, comprehensive, and as we
believe convincing. They we're well
received by the vast crowd.
The valleys are thoroughly shaken
up and will give a good account OF
themselves at the election.

L am very much like Judge Orion; l have

it would require some time and much prep

Railroad Communication 10 the Black

Benton G. Cook, attorney for the Northwest
ern railroad, made an unsuccessful attempt
to negotiate with the Indians for the right OIL
way across their reservation from Fort
Pierre to the Black Hills. AS was reported
in these dispatches at the time, the chiefs de-
manded 10000 head of cattle, which, after a
good deal Of talk, was rejected by the CON-
panies, with no intention, however of aban.
doning the enterprise. They have at length
succeeded in securing the right of way
desired for money consideration, which has
been approved by the interior department
rather reluctantly. There has been an intense
rivalry between the Milwaukee g. st. Paul
and the Chicago & Northwestern railroads to
secure line through to the Black Hills, and
80 persstently have they been that now both
have secured the concession from the Indians
and there will now be, no doubt, the fastest
exhibition Of tfack-laying in the race TO the
Hills ever witnessed in this country.
