THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

In presenting candidates for the suf-
frage of the people. the democracy Of
Lafayette county permits no faction oil
the party, anywhere. to control it. The
organization is jealousy kept up, and
on the executive committee, elected by
the people of the townships every two
years, the party relies for full notice OF
all necessary action. Mass conventions
at the county seat, which give that
place an undue influence, have long
since been discarded, and every town.
ship secures by the plan in vogue prop
sr representation. In the recent con-
test for the nomination, Lafayette coun-
ty was strongly of opinion that she
should receive the honor. Two promi-
nent and worthy gentlemen were advo-
cated by correspondents IN these col
umns. and when the convention met one
was selected. No word of unkindness
passed between either the principals or
their friends. The delegates were Sc
lected, not to cast a complime ntary vote
for Col. McCle:land, but seriously and
earnestly to press his name upon the
convention. and to express their senti-
ment that he possessed the worth and
the ability properly to represent the
district. This was done. and though his
name did not reach a ballot, the meet
ings of delegations did not pass without
Lafayette %county's claims being firmly.
though modestly, impressed upon the
minds of her sister counties. For this
time, however, the result was IN lavor

either, x.and was natural-the shortness
OF the time suggesting. in other. coun-
ties. the name OF a well;known gentle
man, already tried. Now the election
comes. Lafayette county has quietly.
but emphatically, assured the district
that she is in the congressional lists.
What is her dutyP To show. by rolling
up a large vote. that her claim OF adding
democratic strength is a just one. Every
friend of Col. McClellsnd a best serve
him by trying to get out a full vote.
There is national Importance in this
election. The democratic majority in
the lower house of congress IS small, and
we cannot afford to lose a member by !
apathy and indifference. Every,,demo-
crat who knows the situation should
consider himself a committee of one to
notify others OF the election; and by his
zeal and energy to get out the fullest
possible vote.

himself and the party a duty in this
election. Lay was only elected by $50
majority. and as the republican and
greenback parties work in the dark
there Is no knowing what they may do
before election day. Their vote lies
principally in the towns; it awaits the
orders Of the leaders, and it will turn
out to a man. So, democrats, do your
duty. Vots, and see that your neighbor
goes to the polls.

IL SnOul0 De remembered at every
polling place in the seventh congress
ional district that the new law requires
four instead of three judges. Here it
u.s. found IN section 5,495. chapter 101.
s'of elections" ''In all counties in this
state four judges OF election shall be ap-
pointed by the county court for each
election precinct in each of said counties,
and there shall also be provided two
ballot boxes tor said judges of election,
one OF which shall be numbered No. Land
the other numbered No. 2, and it shall
be the duty of said judges to select from
their number two judges, who shall be
designated and known as receiving
judges, and two who shall be designated
and known as counting judges" The
object of the law is to have the ballots
counted as they are cast, that the result
of an election may be the more expedi-
tiously made known. In most OF the
counties the old law has been followed
and only three judges have been ap-
pointed. This should be promptly
remedied. The law requires that four
JUICES shall be appointed By the county
court for each precinct.

Ute Indian.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.--Leeds was before
the commissioner about two hours. He az
signed among the reasons and causes for
disaifection, the failure of the Indian bureau
to send to the Indians substance supplies
and agricultural implements as it had agreed
to do; prohibition by the department of
the sale Of arms and ammunition upon their
reservation; leaving them under the neces-
sity Of travelling ninety miles to obtain the
necessities of life, as without means and am
munition for hunting they were unable to
sustain themselves upon their reservation;
the delay of the department in furnishing
their supplies to starving White river Utes,
and notice givenin two successive annual re.
ports by Indian commissioner Hayt that he
proposed their rom wal to the Indian terri
tory without making any mention Of any
proposition to compensate them for theil
lands He attributed the disaffection Ct
the Utes to the utter inattention of Com
missioner Hayt to their condition, claim
and necessities.
