A more quiet subdued o. indifferent

Fargo Argus: "The Sun is new paper
published at Morris, Minnesota, which
shines for the Democratic party, and E.

he does not carry any more precincts in lns
candidacy for Heaven than he is likely TO

Nanted-Information concerning the
whereabouts of the Republican party Of
this Fifth congressional district. Was last
heard of at Detroit on July 1oth. It's
to be feared that the unhappy creature has
| committed suicide or else has been kid
mapped by the railroads and miliers.
Despite the reports of inefficiency III the
/ Signal Service, We have gathered sufficient
data to forecast most destructive blizzard
on the 7th prox. The friends of the fac
! tionai candidates would earn recognition
| from the Humane Society by seeing that
their men do not get far away from home
on that day.
As the next congress is certain TO be
! Democratic why should we not, one and
all, in the Fifth district, vote for Barnum
| lie can be of some service to the district
on account of his political faith, whereas,
Kindred and Nelson will be out in the
| Geld, should either be elected, and will not
| be in position to be of any earthly service.
