sion and unfairness, cost the party more
votes this year than did the temperance
agitation. For both of these adverse
factors the Republicans are wholly and
entirely responsible. The conduct and
policy of the Republican administration,
its Implicitly, its extravaganza, its corrup-
lion in eveay department, its utter negli-
gence and trampling upon the interests OF
the people, its mockery of justice ana dis
regard of law and good government cost
the Republican party more votes than the
temperance question.
The colored voters were satisfied from
the nomination made and the general
course Of the party leaders that it was due
to their self-resrect to oppose the hypo-
critical partisans and they took their de-
parture from the Republican rankF,
thereafter to the independent men,
These forces are permanent deductions
and losses to the Republican party. There
are other thoughtful men who have got
through with the Republican party. There
are thousands of them in Ohio and tens
of thousands throughout the country.
These thinking men have done with a
party that has no other material for a
President than trickster in
politics and Gabster in craftsmanship
with an im beetle for secretary of the
treasury, a jobber and a rascal at the
head of the navy, e judicial and political
fossil managing the postofice, with mar
tinet at his coat-tail, drunk
en- lout for attorney general,
a,.d ieeches snd harpies everywhere. The
buster of the Tribune is for effect in New
York and other November states, but it's
assumptions are an insult to the lntelli-
gence of the.country, and instead of pro-
ducing a reaction favorable to the
Republican party has exactly the con-
trary effect and adds to the disgust
in which the g. O. p. is held. The tidal
wave has begun to sweep the recreants
whom the people have too long trusted out
of the way and is filling their places with
better and honester men. The Republican
party is thoroughly broken and practically
dead. It has lost the confidence
of the people on all national questions,
and 1854 will show that the material fea-
lures of the presidential question were de-
decided in 1888. The work that will wipe
it out of power, is, at this day, largely
done.

SPORTING.
WasIlinOtOla Races.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 17.-An i'm
mense crowd attended the races to-day.
Weather bad but track good. First race,
one mile, won by Col.' Sprague, Amazon,
second Mark third. Time, 1:45.-Second
race, Anacesta stakes, one mile and fur
long, won by Burch; Wondering second
and Deliah third. Time 1:584. For the
great event of the day, the District of
Columbia stake. The horses sold in the
pool es follows: Eole 150, Miss Woodford
100, Drake Carter 26, and these were only
starters. It was announced from the
judges stand that in consequence of Tor
quois being out of condition, he would
not contest for the stakes.
He was then moved over
the quarter stretch, but there were few who
heard the announcement of his pres ence.
TIE start was good, with Drake Carter in
front, Woodford second, and Eole last
On the corner turn Woodford went to the
first position, and at the three-quarter post
led Drake Garter four lengths, and he was
two lengths ahead of Eole. Down the
stretch Eole went to second place, and so
they passed the stand, Woodford leading
Eole length and he neck in front of
Drake Carter There was no change in
the after turn and at the quarter Miss
Wooaford had the advantage by length
and a half over Eole, who was neck
ahead Of Drake Carter. In the back
stretch EoIe gave way and fell
10 rear, Notwithstanding the application of
whip and spur, and at the half-mile post
while Miss Woodford was only length
ahead of Drake Carter, Eole trailed five
lengths in rear. Eole foil off more in the
lower turn and before he reached the three
quarter post was virtually out Of the race.
At the three-quarter post Miss Woodford
ran easily, aud when she passed on the
home stretch was two lengths in front of
Drake Carter with Eole eight lengths be-
hind. The race then had little interest.
Miss Woodford drew away and
finished two lengths ahead of Drake
Garter second, six lengths ahead
Eole last. Time 1864. The fourth race,
three-quarter mile heats, was won easily
by Aranga, Jim Nelson second, Fairyiew
third. Time Iii and lis. The steeple
chase was won by Abraham. Ranger, who
threw his rider but went on alone, taking
all the jumps and passing Abraham at the
head of the home stretch, came in first
amid laughter and applause from ths
crowd on and about the grand stand. Jim
MCGOWAN went suspiciously wrong at the
first jump and the judges declared all bets
off for fraud.

that the large wholesale dealers in st. Paul

say that if th3 report is true they will not
buy goods of those who deal with such
merchants. 1t is hoped. however, that there
is no disposition in any quarter to
embarrass the Fargo road. Its officers as
sert that they havs the money on hand to
rail and stock it, and no serious delay can
be caused even if some Of the lines are
persuaded to attempt to withd raw from
their agreements.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

Colored Ministers Invited to Promote An
other Convention of Colored Men.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 17.-Rev. Allen Aliens
worth, colored Baptist minister at Bowl
ing Green, KY, has issued an address to
all colored ministers of the gospel of all
denominations in the United States and
the Territories of America, in which he
suggests national convention to give
moral force to the work begun by the late
convention of colored men in this city;
present to the world documentary evidence
and statistical data of the moral, religious
and financial progress since emancipation;
and to advise colored people what they
should do to repair the moral disaster
which came through the existence of
slavery; and to amend family life, paternal
authority and marriage integrity, broken
down by that institution, to improve their
social standing and secure legal equality
with all men. All ministers favoring the
call are requested to address Mr.. Aliens
worth at Bowling Green. The convention
will be held at Louisville or Indianapolis.

The Presidential election OF 1884 has not been
decided In October, 1883. Some people expect-

we have heard the statement, ''If the Republicans
carry Ohio they regain what thew have usually
had, If Hoadley is elected Republican defaat
next year is certain" But there has been no
talk OF that sort from sensible men since the
election returns began to come in. OF course

the vote lost last year on a local question. that

phase OF the temperance issue, and that it has

TIE FARGO 4GITATION.

Publicity has been given for several
days past to the rumor that the st. Paul
and Minneapolis merchants were antago-
nistic to the building of the Fargo South
ern railroad. If it be true we are con-
strained to say we fail to see why the
building of that road is at all detrimental
to the best interests of the dual cities.
The Fargo Southern would be but
the continuation of the Hastings &
Dakota branch of the Milwaukee road
which now terminates in the city of st.
Paul, and all its business would of neces-
sity be transferred here. Another road in
to Fargo would help build up that town,
and thus increase the tributary business
of st. Paul. What little trade
we might lose to Chicago and the
east would be more than gained
by new business from Fargo, by the con-
tinued growth of that town. which this new
road would assist.
The true solution of this question,is not in
any attempt at bulldozing the proprietors
of proposed lines into the northwest coun-
try, but in building new lines by the dual
cities to the east better than
any of the now existing lines to Chicago
as for instance the projected line to the
Sault st. Marie. This would be cutting
around Chicago and Milwaukee as they
are now doing by US. A line to the SauIt
III connection with the Northern Pacific
road to Fargo could lay down
freight cheaper at Fargo, James
town and Bismarck than any line
that can be built from Chicago to the
above named points. The sooner the pub
lie and the Manitoba and Northern Pacific
wake up to the fact that we and they do
not own the Red, James and Missouri
river valleys, and that not
only the Milwaukee, but the
Northwestern and the Rock Island
will all reach out for that territory and
some of it's trade the better If will be for
the material prosperity of all concerned.
We do not want, and cannot afford, to
antagonize the merchants of that section,
and cannot blame them for endeavoring
to benefit their own towns and business.
All things being equal the
great majority of them prefer to trade
here. Our policy therefore should be to
foster that feeling and not antagonize it.
The best mode We can pursue to obtain
this desirable end is to establish such new
lines to the East as will make il to their
PecWnia1y interests to trade here.
This it is IN our power to
do by building Or aiding in the
building of Gov. Pounds road to the Sault
st. Marie. This project has been talked
sufficiently. Nolo is the time to take &C.
ton, or else be prepared to see the cream
of our trade pass around US. It is Chicago,
and not Fargo, that st. Paul is contending
with.

Asks An Accounting.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA bill filed in circuit
court to-day by W. N. Jones against John
B. Alley, for an accounting. Jones claims
he is stakeholder in the Des Moines &
Minneapolis road, that shortly after it be-
gan operations in 1881, it got into fnan-
cial difficulties, that Alley secured con-
trolling interest and loaned the road to the
Chicago & Northwestern road
ana sold to the same
company $460O0O in bonds of the Des
Moines & Minneapolis road at par; that
he accounted to the company for only 76
per cent. He therefore asks that Alley be
made accountable for the balance. The
bill claims Alley is resident of Chicago
