brought thirteen families to the town
and is turning out wagons atan average

and are as full Of enterprise and hope as
ever were the people of any newly laid
out Western town. The Tracy division

Cruelty to Animals.

a couple of weeks ago Miss Belle
Cook, of Mountain View. Santa Clara
county, California, challenged any lady
equestrienne to ride twenty mile race
for from $1,000 to $4,000 side. The
challenge was sent through the Associat-,
ed Press reports, and thus gained very
wide publicity. Miss Emma sJewett,
daughter of T. G. Jewett, of Litchfeld,
Mlnn., is an equestrienne of rare accom-
plishments,Sin which fact her father. is
said to take great pride After family
consultation it was agreed to accept the
challenge of Miss Cook, for 81, 500
side. Hon. VIM. S. King heard Of the
acceptance Of the challenge, and at once
offered $4,000, to he divided as the con-
testants may agree, if said race be made
over the Minneapolis track in the first
week Of September next. While we
commend the enterprise manifested in
undertaking to have the race made at
Minneapolis on Fair. week, we have no
desire to see an equestrian race Of twenty
miles. Such race would doubtless
create intense excitement, and would
draw a very large crowd Of spectators,
but it would be almost as cruel to the
animals ami engaged in il as q bull fight IF
ne are not laboring under great misap-
prehension as to what the proposed race
is intended to be, the authority Of the:
law ought to be used to prevent the oc-
currence Of such a barbarous transaction
on the soil Of this State. 'sss

The N. Y. Democratic State Con-
yentiOn.

The Democrats Of New York met in
convention at Syracuse on Tuesday last,
and elected a straight Tilden delegation
to the national convention. Even Til
den's friends were astonished at their
overwhelming majority in the conven-
ton. Out of 375 delegates, 295 were in
favor Of Tilden. The John Kelly crowd
held a convention in another hall, and
adopted resolutions emphatically repu-
dating Tilden. The delegates elected
by the Democratic convention were in
structed to vote as unit upon all ques-
tions, but were not instructed to vote for
Tilden. The political outlook in this
country at the present time presents some
curious features. Tilden and Grant oc-
cupy similar positions in their respective
political parties. What opposition there
is to Tiiden in his own party, outside of
New York, is based on the belief that
the attitude of the Kelly faction of the
New York Democracy would be likely
to give New York to the Republican
nominee, if Tilden is nominated, and
that Tilden is thereforenot an available
candidate. Much Of the opposition to
Grant in the Republican ranks is of a
similar nature; that is, they do not be-
'ieve that he can command the full
strength of the party. The spectacle of
Tilden and Grant at the head of the tick
cts Of the two great national parties
would be a unique one. .Tilden IS.
veritahle phenix, able to bring order out
of what appeared to be the ashes Of con-
sumed hopes; and the strength he de-
veloped in the New York convention on
Tuesday very materially helps his chance
Of getting the nomination. Grants
nomination is even more probable than
that of Tilden. In regard to the election
Tilden would have one decided advan-
tage over Grant, and that would be that
Tilden would receivesthe united support
of his party outside Of New York, while
Grant could not command the full sup
port of his party in any State in the Un-
ion, except in the South where his party
is in the minority. There are very many
Democrats who doubt Tilden's availa-
bility, but if he is nominated they will
support him. The coming contest will
be close one, and one that will try the
stability of Republican institutions: If
the contest should end in civil war, free
government might as we'll be considered
a failure.
