the same. This mass convention OF
Republicans met at Clifton on Wednes-
day, April 10th. Mr.. Roscoe Stinson,
of Clifton, was chosen Chairman, and
r. J. Courtney, of Pymosa township,
Secretary of the convention, and l.. FL
Bruner, of Carson, was elected delegate
to attend the Huron Convention.
The question of the County Central
Committee being then in order, the mo-
ton was made that the chairman (Mr.
Stinson) appoint five members of the
convention to present the names offlve
Republicans to constitute the Re-
publican Central Committee of Sully
county. The motion carried, unan-
imonsly, and the chairman appointed
l.. IL. Bruner, of Carson, G.. IT. Agar, of
Onida, NJ. Sweny, OF Okobojo, and
Chas. Butts and j. III. Gropengieser, of
Clifton, as such subcommittee. That

Clifton; G. W. Evarts of Onida, and

chose J. A. Meloon chairman, the vote
standing two to three, Messrs. Eakin,

without objection by that section, and

fore the coming Republican county
convention for the office of District
Attorney for the county, and ask a ia

HISTORY
Of the Republican Organization Of
Sully County.

Because OF the repeated mis-state-
ments of the Demo Independent organ
and very limited number of abettors
in the endeavor to mislead the people
of Sully county in relation to the Re-
publican organization we take the liber-
ty of herewith appending an outline of
what has thus far been done, so that
all may know. the facts anil judge for
themselves whether or not everything
has been fair and honorable:
Under authority from the National
Republican Committee, the Territorial
Committee issued call to the different
counties in Dakota to meet and choose
delegates to attend the Huron Conven-
ton on April 23l, to elect delegates
to the Chicago Presidential Convention
and to choose Central Committees i'm
the various counties. That call was
received at Clifton on April I, 1884.
In accordance with said call. the Chair
man of the Sully County Board of
County Commissioners issued the fol-
lowing call for such county convention:
CLIFTON. Sully CO., d. T.,
April 10. 1884
In accordance with the call for a Terri
torial Republican Convention to be held
at Huron on April 2id, 1884 To chose two
delegates TO attend the National Republi
can Convention To be held mt Chicago on
June 81. 1884, county convention, is
hereby called TO meet at the Court House
in Clifton. sully Co. ID. r., on April 10Th.
1884. at two o clock p. m, to chose one
delegate To represent the republicans of
Sully county, in the Territorial Convention
at Huron, 1t has been deemed best to dis
pcnse with primaries, since no regular
voting precincts have rs yet been estab-
lished in this county. and the time is linn
tied for several notice to be given. Ii is
hoped the Republicans of Sully county
will make strong efforts to attend this
convention, as the permanent republican
organization of Sully county will be then
made In accordance with the call of the
National Committee Signed.
b. p. HOOVER.
Chairman of Board of Com missioners.
1t being too late to call primaries in
the county, a MASS convention was
provided for, and the notice published
II the SULLY Co. WATCHMAN, the Oni-
da Journal, and the Fairbank News.
editorial attention also being called to
The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1884-09-13

The neat business-like and sys-
tematic manner i'm which the books of
the Register of Deeds and County
Clerk of Sully county are kept, is a
matter of just pride to our people, and
elicits many sencomiums from those who
have business transactions Herewith.
1t is well4Snown that j. A. Meloon, the
present incumbent, is before the people
subject to the action of the Republican
county convention of Oct. 2d, and will
unquestionably be his own successor.
1t would be necessary to go n long
ways outside the borders of Sully
county to find man who would per-
form the duties of the Office more ac-
ceptably or with greater ability.
The Onida Journal has rendered
n dicsion on the great constitutional
question of permitting soldiers to vote,
but. as high as this authority is, it is
probable that the Supreme Court or n
congress of Nations might have the
power to reverse the decision. Our
country's defenders are citizen soldiers
and must certainly have some moral
and constitutional rights which should
he observed 1t is one of the greatest
wrongs to disfranchise qualified elec-
tor. and if the soldiers at Fort Sully
are entitled to vote, they should be
vouchsafed this high prerogatiye, and,
if they are not, let them be debarred.
Prairie fires caused great damage
IN Sully county last week, raging for
two or three days east, northeast and
southeast of Clifton In addition to
burning up Il large quantity OF hay
and grain, much needed pasture was
DESTROYED and several buildings con-
sumed by the insatiate monster. A
brisk wind was blowing considerable
of the time, which swept it over the
country at fierce rate 4 colt and
some calves are reported as burned to
death. But for the heroic efforts of
the people in and adjoining the burned
districts the loss would have been
much more severe.

Country Dwellings.

Newspapers are urging n rigid in
spection of city dwellings,, and it is a
very wise suggestion. But it is not
more needed than is n rigid inspection
of our rural residences. III we will
pause TO think it will not be difficult for
us to see that any dwellng-house, I'M
less 1t is carefully inspected and kept in
proper shape, Is naturally n hot-house
for the germs of disease. There arc
parts OF it, or parts of its surround
lngs, that receive no attention, and are
SO inclosed from the purifying influ-
ence of the sunshine, and perhaps those
OF fresh air, that disease finds in them
the very best conditions of develop
ment. The parlor, kitchen and sleep
lnS-rooms may be scrupulouslv clean.
but in what condition is the cellar or
the space beneath the house which is
not a cellar. Houses are often built
upon foundations that are not provided
with ventilation. No purifying air ever
reaches the space beneath the house.
Year after year the soil is damp, and
furnishes the very best conditions for
the fostering of typhoid germs. We
have no doubt that great deal of
typhoid fever and diphtheria comes
from the earth beneath the ground
floor of basement houses. 1t is
not so bad, of course, when house
stands upon the level, but still the con-
ditlons that favor such conditions are
there. There should always be the
means of ventilation beneath the floor
next to the ground, and not unfreauent-
ly 1t would be money well invested if
there were boards removed from the
floor in order to give an opportunity to
strew lime over the ground beneath.
The cellar, if it is not perfectly ventil-
ated, is the very perfection of cause for
the evils we have mentioned. The
dampness and gases which are gener-
ated spread all through the house, and
though we may not notice them, we
may be sure they are there, and that
our systems are getting the full benefit
OF them. The first thing to do with the
cellar is TO ventilate it, and a good coat
OF whitewash is cheaper than doctors
bills, and will save the latter. Our adj
vice TO our readers is TO closely inspect
every nook and corner of the house and
premises. Wherever there are any
damp spots found, disinfect them, and
sulphate OF iron is as good and cheap as
anything that can be had for this pur-
pose. Use plenty of whitewash wher-
ever it is needed, and with these precau-
tions and temperate living, we shall be
reasonably safe from cholera or other
diseases. -- Western Rurat.
