Many of the best ant most influential
Democrats in this city have entered their
protest and signed letter to the Chair.

Committee, declaring against the man.
ner in which the new departure In choos-
ing delegates to. represent the various
townships in the judicial Convention,
was brought about The letter sent to
the Chairman of the Committee, we ore
informed, family suggested the idea that
"Bossism" would not work. in attempt
ing to enforce the unit rule; that the
action OF the committee was illegal, be
cause only four or FIVE Of the sixteen
members were present; that the Pultney
township Democracy recognized the
County Committee, but the County Com.
mittee would not and should not deprive

representatives in any convention, and

Of the matter are not the kind to back

that the delegates from this township to
the Judicial Convention "will he chosen

Of "bosses" TO come right into their

SITTING BULL YIELDS.
The Old Man and His Warriors
March Into Eta BufOrd and
Give Up their Arftis.-The i
Chief Sullen and IhsOlent. s.

ST PAub, July 20-The Pioneer
Press has the following special from
Fort Bnford, relating to the surrender
of Sitting Bull: Sitting Bull and about
two hundred people arrived at exactly
IL o'clock to-day and surrendered their
arms and ponies to Maj,r Brotherton
No speeches have yet ben made, as
Bull and bis orator are fa'igued and hum
cry. They were placed in compart-
ments between the post and the boat
landing, and are as secure in Major
Brotherton's charge as II in irons. The
Pioneer Press correspondent visited
Bull after his lodge was erected and
cheered the old man up bv 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 we'll and happy.
The chief expressed desire to have
talk after he had rested and had some.
thing to ea'. The cavalcade, IS it filed
into the garrison, attrac' ed much atten.
ton. 1t consisted Of aImv wagons
loaded with squaws and children, fol.
lowed by twent, 1--we ar thirty OF Louis
Lagar's Red River carts, web filed ~ith
baggage Mueh credit Is given here "a
Mr. Lagarre for his faithful service io
the government in inducing Sitting Bull
to come with him. He has used his
own means freely in providing for The
transportation Of provisions, and should
be literally rewarded for his work.
Sitting Bull and his chiefs and hesd mer
rode their ponies and did not dismoun
and shake hands until they arrived a
the place fixed upon for their camp
Captain Clifford states that Bull has
seemed more cullen and insolent thai
any OF the chiefs he bad under his man
agcment. His actions to. day confirm et
this statement. but 1t is thought kint
treatment will soon satisfy him. Th'
governmen, has accepted his surrende
in good faith.

ly represent the Democracy Of Belmont
County, we do not believe, but unforlu-

themselves and their own selfish purpo

county is opposed to their gag rule, but
ere helpless to change 1t, because as we

HThe action taken by the Demo.
cratic Central Committee of this county
on Satur lay last cannot be misunder-

"For ten years my wife was confined

up small fortune in humbug stuff. Six

Bitters on it, and though. l would be
9 fool once more. l tried it, but nv
folly proved to be wisdom. Two bottles
cured her, she is now as well and strong
as any mans wife, and 1t cost me only
two dollars. Such folly pays.-H. w ;,

The JudgeShip,

The plan adopted by the "bosses" at
st. Clairsville to control the Judicial
Convention is this: Each candidate
heads o ticket with his name, which is
followed by the names of 81 delegates.
The candidate who receives the highest
vote 10 the county goes into the Conveu-
ton with the whole number of delegates
to back him. Minority candidates dele.
gates have no voice in the Convention,
although their delegates may have re.
ceived majorities In one.half Of the
townships in the county.
Of course under the workings of this
plan Monroe County, with only 50 dele
gates, has no chance of obtaining the
nomination, or even the privilege OF a
choice of the Belmont candidates, as
only one OF them will be before the Con-
vention, and be will receive 81 votes and
the nomination on the first ballot, provi.
ded the committee in this county decides
to send delegates to the 1lth OF August
meeting.
II the managers in Belmont insist thai
the plan they have adopted shall remain
in force, then 1t remains for the Democ.
racy OF Monroe to refuse to take any
part In the Convention. II the mana
gers at St. Clairsville think they Car
treat the Democracy Of this county in.
sultingly and with contempt, and that VI
will humbly bow our pecks and meekly
submit, they viii, disco Ger their p'stak'
fsooner than they expect. "a fair aelc
and free fight Is all that the Democ
racy Of Monroe asks, and may the bes
man win. Anything short of that viii
not be submitted to for one moment.
P. S.-Tbe action OF the Democratic
Central Committee Of this county, takeI
after the above was in type, will b.
found elsewhere in this paper.

BELLAIRE O., July 11th. 1881.
Mr.. g. N. GAUMER, Chairman Democratic
Central Committee, St. Clairsville, o.,
DEAR SIR: Having noticed by the
Democrat" that ct the recent meeting
Of "Ceutral Committee" they had made
a change in the manner Of selecting the
delegates to the judicial Convention,
we feel it our duty to enter our protest
against the MANNER in which it was
done. In the first place there was NO
call of the committee for that purpose,
and next il. we are correctly informed
there was not quorum present to trans
act business, hence your action in the
promises is illegal; it savors too much
of "Conklingism" and is certain to pro-
duce discord in the party ranks and lead
to very unsuccessful termination ofthe
Judicial Campaign. The ohjact OF the
Bellaire Democracy is to assist 10 the
Election OF Democrat Judge, and we
think We are as competent to make our
own selection as to who we shall vote
for as you We do not ask that these
delegates shall be elected in the interest
OF any man or set of men, but we do
ask and demand 1t in the interest of
party harmony that the voters OF Pult.
uey Tp. be permitted to select their own
delegates in their ACCUSTOMED way. We
are opposed to being compelled to go
into that convention bound and gagged
and vote for anv man your committee
may suggest You must not attempt to
override the views of the voters Of Pult-
ney Tp, in the way you have suggested.
1t is not Democratic doctrine, and as
Democrats we will never submit to it..
We claim the right. as free citizens, to
express ourselves in the selection OF
our high officials as our consciences die
tate.
In the interest of harmony and for
the success Of The party, we would res
pectfully request you to at once call the
committee together, aud have free ex-
preston upon the subject. II the CON-
mittee THEN decide on the adoption OF
the "unit rule" we will unite with a
hearty good will and use ALL our efforts
to nominate and elect good man.
Yours, respectfully,
Signed. S. @. Hamilton, F, ank Hind

THE JuDGEsHtp,
From the Monroe Gazette.


II Chairman Gaumer succeeds in ma.
king everything solid for a Belmont
county man, thus giving Belmont man
fifty four votes to Monroe's thirty Eight,
the Monroe Democratic delegation might
as we'll save their time and Railroad
fares and stay at home and let Belmont
make the nomination and do the elect.

Democratic leaders Of this county nearly
nine years and we can testify that they
are not such dashed fools as to 60 over
to Bellaire just to see the count or to
see Gaumer's crew wash the dishes after
they have all eaten the supper. 1t might
be well for the Chairman and the men
who held proxies in this grand scheme
to paste this in their hats.
The new method OF choosing the del
egates is entirely satisfactory to the
Democrats Of this county. The party
every where is we'll pleased with it and
commend the wisdom of the Committee
in adopting plan which is fair and just
