GEN. sIBLEY,s LETTER.

The acceptance letter of Gen. Sibley is
given elsewhere. It is q model document.
He alludes to his local history being coeval
with the State, which is most decidedly cor
rect. There is not, probably, single man
in the district who was living in what is now
the State when Gen. Sibley came here. He
is, in reality, part of the State, and the man
of all others in our midst who is best able to
represent us in the halls of legislation. The
State having almost literally been his off
spring he knows her wants as no one else
can.
Upon national matters Gen. Sibley's let
ter has no uncertain sound. His position
on the finances and tariff are given with q
olearness which marks his intelligence
and ability. The absurd Republican false
hood relative to the payment of ssrebel
claims" is efectually and forever set at rest
SO far as Gen. Sibiey is concerned. In
short his letter lays down platform which
is perfect model; and there is not a man in
the district who cannot heartily endorse
it. The we'll known character
of the author gives especial weight to his
words and places him at once in the front
ranks of the statesmen of the country.
We actually feel ashamed to contrast the
author of this letter with his opponent. Mr..
Washburn so dwarfs by comparison with
Gen. Sibley that it is positively painful and
absolutely disgraceful to the Republican
nominee to mention him in the same breath.
The thinking people of this district only
need to know, personally, the two men to give
Gen. Sibley majority SO large that the
bribe-g iyer who opposes him will forever
thereafter remain in private life.

CHAIRMAN BARNUM's statement, elsewhere
published, is conclusive of the fact that the
returns from many of the back towns are
being held back by the Republican returning
officers for the purpose of being doctored SO
IS to show a majority for Davis and the bal
ance of the Republican State ticket. The
party has become proficient in such tricks
trough long practice, but the Democrats
and Fusionists ought to be on their guard
for such practices.

The conservatives of Virginia proposed as
one feature of the proposed compromise
with the readjusters, that an electoral ticket
should be chosen at primary election at
which only white Democrats shall be per-
mitted to vote. The readjusters rejected
this proposition, holding that all persons
who pledge themselves to vote for Hancock,
whether white or black, should be allowed
TO vote. The latter were right. The time
has gone by for prescribing man because
of the color of bis skin.

MAJOR STRAIT ON THE FRONTIER

The Settlers Propose to Repudtate HIM
and Endorse P0ekIer.
To the Editor of thesGlobs.
BRooKFIELD, Renville Go. Sept. 16.-There
being no Democratic nor independent paper in
this county I desire to use your columns to an
swer correspondent of the Bird Island Post
who recently went into ecstacies over the exalt-
ed craftsmanship and virtue of Hon. 81. B.
Strait, would-be Congressman for life. think
it will not be denied that Mr.. Strait is man
of inferior qualifications for the position of
Congressman, that in spite of his inferiority he
perpetuated himself in that Office for several
successive terms against the rightful claims of
men Of paramount ability and
good standing in the Republican party of this
district, and, that to rid themselves of this
leech they repudiated him at the polls two
years ago, and elected gentleman worthy of
the position, who has endeavored to serve the
interests of the people, whose word is as good
as his bond, and who will not promise what he
cannot, and what he does not intend to perform.
Henry Poehler is again q candidate, in obedi-
ence to the unanimous invitation of his party
and of the independent voters of this district.
He did not seek the nomination and secure it
against the voice of his party by means of
hired lackeys and United States mail agents and
other federal officers, neglecting their legitimate
business to carry eaucuses and county conven-
tions in his individual interest. Neither did
he control the patronage Of the administration
and use it to bride locsl Office seekers in his in
terest, nor as weapon to punish those who
were too independent to bow down and serve
him. Hundreds of voters in this county alone
are resolved to show Major Strait that they
cannot submit to have their homes taken from
them and given to gigantic railroad corpor-
alton, and then lick the hand of him whose
false promises lulled them into inactivity, and
whose cunning and deceit has rendered them
homeless and destitute. The settlers on con-
tested railroad lands and on the Fort Ridgley
reservation have now found ont who was their
enemy and who is their friend. SETTLER.

that the time had come to lay aside what he

WHAT IT INDICATES.

Thus, having clear majority of 1900
votes in September, Hayes was defeated in
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana in November following.
Now, not having majority at all, at the
corresponding election in Maine, by what
logic of reasoning do the Republicans ex-
pect to carry those important States this
fall?
The truth is that no sensible supporter of
Garfield has any expectations of the kind,
knowing that he is much weaker candi-
date than was Gov. Hayes, while Gen. Han
cock is decidedly more popular with the
people than was Gov. Tilden.

Chalmers Suicide.
Between four and five o'clock yesterday
afternoon young man In the employ of Co.'S
tian Cleary, while loading his wood wagon
on the upper levee. saw man deliberately re-
move his coat, boots, &C., and plunge into the
river. Surprising the man only intended to
take swim he thought no more of the mat
ter, but drove off with his load. Shortly
afterwards some boys discovered the clothes
upon the bank and reported the fact to Chief
Weber, who at once sent Officer Mcmahon to
Investigate the matter. The officer found the
coat, hat, boots and suspehders on the bank of
the river at the -fost of Chestnut street, and
subsequent inquiries disclosed the fact that
they belonged to Hugh Chalmers, the husband
of the poor unfortunate woman over whose
remains the coroner was at the same time
holding an inquest. Chalmers had been held
in custody at the City Hall until yesterday
forenoon, when he was released, there being
60 charge made against him. He had been
summoned to appear before the coroner's in :
quest at P. NJ, and, failing to appear, the
inquest was postponed until 10 A. M. this
morning.
From the time of his release in the morning
until his clothing was found on the bank Of the
river very little could be learned of his move
ments. During the afternoon he called q t
Senk's saloon. at the foot of Chestnut street
and drank two glasses of beer. He was seen in
that neighborhood by several who knew him by
sight, and as above stated was last seen by
young Oloonan just rs he jumped into the riv-
er. Officer Mcmahon took the clothes to the
City Hall, where they were recognized by Capt.
Clark and Officer Keneally as belonging to
Chalmers. Nothing was found about the cloth
ing to show that the poor inebriate contempla-
ted committing suicide, but no other inference
could be drawn from the surrounding circum-
l. IL liz AL =
the river to end life which had become bur-
den. Up to late hour last evening no trace of
the body had been found, and no especial eff
forts were being made for its recov cry.

treaty with, making very exorbitant
demands from the government, and Civ :
ing the agents generally large amount
oftrouble, and appearing to be possessed
of a treacherouss and malignant disposi-
ton. In the fan Of 1862, simultaneous
with the Sioux outbreak of that year,
Hole-in-t -the>day proceeded to organize
the Chippewa warriors for an attack up
on the white settlers in Northern Min
nesota. He succeeded in raising about
three hundred, mostly from 2Leech Lake,
and the upper Mississippi. They made
prisoners of all the government employees
about Leech Lake, and after gathering at
Gull Lake, soon moved down near to
Grow Wing. 1t is generally believed
that his attack was first delayed, and
finally abandoned, because Holein-the>
day failed to get all of the Chippewa
bands to unite with him in a war against
the whites. The Mile Lac band sent
him word that in case of a. war they:
would join the whites and fight against
him, and, without doubt, there was a
strong element in his own camp opposed
to his scheme, headed by two Of the most
influential chiefs among the Leech Lake
Indians, Buffalo and Big Dog. The
prisoners who were taken at Leech Lake
agency, said that their lives were saved
at the time they were taken, only by the
great exertions Of these chiefs. On that
occasion, Buffalo sprang in front of the
gun of young warrior as he drew it up
to shoot Arthur Garden, who was resid.
ing there with his family, but had pre-
viously resided in Little Falls.
