LET US HOLD THE FORT.

ian that we are. on thesF eve of
one Of the hottest political con-
tests that was ever waged in this
country. Everything points to
a fierce straightforward thestwo
great parties of the American
Republic. The bitter lesson
learned by the Democratic party
10 1876, and thes.consciousness
of the great wrong perpetrated
by the Republican party, will in
tensify the struggle between the
two factions that compose the
political elements of this country.
There will be hard fight. At
least no one.can deny that the
Republicans are marshaling their
hosts for hard, desperate strug-
gle. The leaders Of that party
know that defeat at the polls IN
November means the death-knell
and destruction of the party
Backed by the bloated capital
lists Of the North, aided by the
combined influence of the army
of office-holders Of the nation,
and defended by the bayonets Of
government, it has been by the
most stupendous effort that the
Republican.palty has been able
to. keep the Democratic party
from ruling this Republic: Fraud
and dnplicity, and theft and
armed forces were requisite to
the success ofi.the Republican
party. The monstrousts fraud OF
1876, in stealing the. Presidency
has blotted the escutcheon Of the
Republican party with a stain
that will never be obliterated.
Hence, the leaders of that party
know that it will require agigan-
tic effort to maintain the ascen-
dsncy over the party that has
been so badly and so grossly i'm
posed upon.
We believe that it is only nee
essary for the Democracy to
close up their ranks and prepare
for the contest. This is no time
for chickering's within the party.
A concentrated effort must be
made. It behooyes the National
Convention. which meets in Gin.
cinnati next Tuesday, to put al
the head of the Democratic hosts
the ve,y best man. Personal pref
erences must be laid aside by
the delegates whom the people
elect to represent them in thai
all-important body. The man Sc
| lected must be a man capable o
holding the fort" at all hazards
| He must be a man who knows ne
such word as fail. With such
man success will crown our Of
forts. Victory will perch upo1
our banners on the idesl Of No
vember, and the corrupt, dishon
lest Republican party will hav'
numbered it's days. Returning
Boards, Salary Grabs, and Elec
toral Commissions will be con
signed to that infamyi which j
characteristic Of the party tina
conceived and originated them
But there is another question
in which aoe of this parish ar
more directly interested than th
success of the national ticket
Upon the same day that a Pres
, Iident is elected for this nation,
Congressman will be chosen t
represent this District in tn

Dear Sir: Il take pleasure in attest
ing to the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by you
last summer on this place. 1t not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight OF the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
$50 pounds, and many over $40 pounds.
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about 100 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring during
the progress Of the work [ feel satifed
that any person desiring to put uapa
press OF this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner IN
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,
THAD. WATERMAN.
am now ready to receive orders to
build these presses (the iron and planta-
ton rights for which can be had OF u.
w Douglass of Bastrop) in this and ait

This is to certify that we had one of the
Southern Standard Presses built last
January. We had only about forty bales
of cotton packed on it, and must say
that we are better pleased with it than
press we ever used, and we have been
using presses for over thirty years.
They are cheaper and handler than any
press we ever saw, and if put up by B.
V. Mcdonald, we are confident they
will please most any one. .o

THE NEW RAILROAD.


We alluded last weel to the Toledo
& Northwestern road which is bearing
in this direction and will probably
make Worthington point in the route
or routes which the road will follow.
The Sioux City Journal of Saturday
last says:
The Northwestern railroads pro-
posed extension leaving the Toledo
branch at Callahan north via Webster
City and Algona, to Blue Earth, Mimi.
is now an assured fact. The contract
from Webster City to Blue Earth was
lately let i'll Chicago. Our informant
met Chief Engineer Johnson at Algona,
where he was arranging in person for
the deport site, which will b. about
three-quarters of mile east of town.
The road from this point will run due
north to the state line. and there make
the turn Of eight or ten miles west.-
Until December of next year is allowed
for its completion.
Arrangements are being made as fast
as possible for road from Algona, or
few miles north Of there, to intersect
Emmett Dickinson and Osceola counties,
crossing the st. Paul road at Sibley or
Worthington, and running thence two
lines, one to Tracy on their Black Hills
line, and the other into southern
Dakota. There is no doubt of these
latter lines being built, and at an
early day, it the managers stick to
present intention. This company has
faith in the future of our northwest,
and it now appears they will soon do
some rapid and extensive building.

Wards PROPOSITION REJECTED.

WARDS PROPOSITION REJECTED.
The Dunnell committee met at Owa-
iona on Tuesday and adopted resolu-
tions rejecting Wards proposition that
both withdraw and leave the field to
new man. They also resolved to in
struct Dunnell to make proposition
to Ward to submit the question of the
contrasting delegations to the Republic
can State Central Committee and both
pledge themselves to abide by it's decis-
ion.
The ADVANCE has several times said
thst some sort Of an Electoral Commits
sion would be necessary to decide the
question of who was nominated. But
we Judge that Mr.. Ward will not con-
sent to this, which in no way meets his
original proposition. We incline to the
opinion that Ward means the ''uncon-
ditional'' withdrawal of both or none,
and that he will proceed to move imme-
diately upon the works.

Following is the long expected report
of Examiner Knox. As stated in the

found it's way to pigeon-hole in the
County Auditors office, where our L.
biquitous reporter got at it and copied it:
OFFICE OF PUBLIC EXAMINER,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June Is, 1880.
Robt. Shore, Esq, Chm. Ed Of Com
missfoners of Mobiles County:
DEAR SIR: On my recent visit to your
county seat discoAered that the salary
of your Auditor had been computed and
allowed for some years on an altogeth-
er unauthorized and illegal basis. AS
the salaries of all officers, the precise a.
mount of which is not fixed by law, are
to he paid only upon the allowance of
your board, deem it my duty to call
your attention to the facts that the
practice may be discontinued and the
amounts wrongfully paid recovered in.
to the treasury if possible. The statute
(sec 142, page 143 G.. S. plainly provides
that the salary of County Auditors shall
be regulated by the value of the proper
ty in their respective counties as fixed
by the State Board of Equalization for
the preceding year. The practice in your
county has been, it seems, to compute
upon the valuation OF the current year,
/. valuation not made ut the beginning
of the salary year OH March LIST. This
latter valuation is, us u general thing,
larger than that for the proceed ny year,
hence the salary based upon it would be
larger. Under the statute the salary of
your Auditor from March l, 1873, to
March l, 1880, would have been as fol-
lows:
For 1883 on valuation of
1877, as per report Of. State
Auditor, $685., sos
Salary, SIS 80
For iS79-so, on valuation of
1878 Of s7:;s,l 34
Salary, sol Oh
Or for the two years salary, $l,736 81
The salary warrants drawn for this pc
riod and entered OH the account page
1T, Auditors LEDGER and us checked
from the order book stubs, amounts to
81 $685., a difference Of $163,3l. THE
last two warrants for the above being
I'll and 712, yet outstanding and draw
ing intereSt.)
In Addition to this there were war
rants for salary not entered on the led
ger account amounting to SS9.S7, max
ing a total over draft for the two years
of $253.1o. lgive you here the No. dates
and amounts of these warrants not a.

It seems that work on the Worthinr

1t seems that work on the Worthing-
ton Il Sioux Falls extension has been
stopped. The Yankton Press says:
"Wm. Walpole, who has just come in
from the Worthington and Sioux Falls
extension, says that all work has been
stopped forty-three miles west of Sioux
Falls and that nothing more will be
done at present toward the westward
extension. The line had been located
to the jim river, but the Minnesota
Southern got in ale1d and commenced
throwing up dirt.at the Jim river cross
ing, and the WOrthington and Sioux
Falls party ceased operations. It is now
supposed that the extension will extend
either due north OF due south and 20
somewhere ~
