SITTING BULL SURRENDERS
At Last.-He is Sullen and InsOlen


ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20. The Pioneer
Press has special from Fort Buford, which
says that sitting Bull and about two hundred
people arrived here at noon to-day and sur
rendered their arms and ponies to Major
Brotherton. No speeches have yet been
made as old Bull and his orator are fatigued
and hungry. The were placed in confine-
ment between the post and the boat landing,
and are as secure in Major Brotherton's
charge as if in iron. The Pioneer Press
correspondent visited Bull after his 10 dye
was erected, and cheered the old man up by
informing him that he had seen the lost
daughter, whom the Canadians had told him
was in chains only short time before, and
that she was happy. The chief expressed
desire to have a talk after he had rested
and had something to eat. The cavalcade as
it filed past the garrison attracted much at
tention. 1t consisted of six army wagons
loaded with the Siouix's and children, fol-
lowwed by twenty-five or thirty
carts filled with baggage Sitting Bull
himself and his chiefs and head men rode their
ponies and did not dismount and shake hands
till they arrived at the place fixed for their
camp. Capt. Clifford states that Bull is very
sullen and insolent

Scion Chase on MIR. Gilbert's Nom
inatiOn-Givcs n Cold Shoulder
to Democrats.

Chase's Inquirer continues to rejoice over
the triumph of the straight greenbackers in
pledging Mr. Gilbert. the greeuback nominee
for Congress in the second district, to straight
grecnhackism; and seems to feel that il is
now To realize the correctness of its predic-
tons that straight grcenhack nominations will
compel the democrats to 90 oye- to the
greenbaek party. The Inquirer says;
at is known by all men. that if Mr.. Gil
bert is elected he will aid neither of the old
parties in the organization of the House, but
will stand by the greenback party through
thick and thin. Republicans who vote
for Washington Gilbert will have no fear
they will aid the democratic party. Demo
Gratis who vote for the greenbsck candidate
for Congress will expect to receive only such
benefits as the people receive from true
representative. This is as it should be. IL
Washington Gilbert is elected to Congress.
nobody is golug tn be cheated. and neither of
the old parties will gain any political adj
vantage over the other. We want all the
votes we can get. and we want all men to vote
undcrstandingly. We do not ask democrats
or republicans to vote for our candidate for
Congress. under any form of deception. We
do not ask democrats To vote our ticket with
the expectation that the grcenback candidate
will take sides with the democrats against
republicans. Neither do we ask republicans
to vote our ticket with the expectation that
our candidate for Congress will take sides
with republicans against the democrats
On this line we go into the campaign in
the Second District. On this line we fought
the campaign two wears ago and forced
the financial question to the front. Republic
cans and greeubsckers discussed the problem
of crowdiug more hog into dollar and tax
ing therefrom Last year the campaign was
fought on the lire of the common enemy.
When that line was formed the republican
party didn't discuss the hog problem any
more. We did. but we didn't draw their fire.
They fired at the democrats for counting out
negro votes in the South, and the democrats
fired back at the republicans for bulldozing
factory operatives in the North. The green
back party was in no sense party in the
last campaign. The fight was between the
two old parties. Now a new departure has
been taken. So far as the greenbsck party
is concerned. the old parties can skin their
own skunks. The convention that nominated
Washington Gilbert marked out the straight
road and passed resolution against any en-
tangling alliances"
