The Ohio election took place
to-day. This event has been looked
forward to with great anxiety, as upon
It hinges the Presidential campaign
Both OF the leading parties have made
herculean efforts to carry the State,
Whichever way Ohio goes, it will be
accepted as a sure indication of the
way the election will go in November.
The vote will be so close that the
official returns will be required to de-
termine the result, and these will not
be received for three or four days. In
the meantime we of Idaho must pos
sess our souls i'll patience.

AFTER THE I'OLYGAMISTS.

No less than four polygamists arc
to be tried at tho current term ofcourt
in Salt Lake City. AS the jur,es are
all non-Mormons, it is fair to presume
that convictions will follow if the
crime is proved. But right here is a
sticker. 1t is almost impossible to OBJ.
tain legal evidence against polyga.
mists rs it is all in the hands of Nor
mons who habitually and proudly give
false testimony, when called upon to
testify in court.

Taking the Carson Herald for auth

is badly tinctured with the so-called

ing from numerous little pheasant
ries which have heretofore appeared
the Onida Journal we have been led
to suppose it was right the opposite.
If the Republican nominees for
county commissioners are elected sa-
looms will stand poor show IN the
county. Let the people see that they
are elected Let sobriety and industry
be encouraged, instead OF liquor guz-
zling and poverty, which always 90

away from this class and when they

-Erom the present outlook it is
safe to predict that every man placed
in nomination by the Republican con
vention of last week will be elected on
Nov. 4th, as they should be, unless bet
ter grounds for their defeat than we
can now learn should be developed.
Not simply because they are Republi-
caas, but for the reason that they were

people of the county rs expressed

for the express purpose of allowing the

nominations cannot he charged up to
sectional feeling in any sense of the
word, as of them are from west of

1t now behooves every man who par
tcplted in placing the ticket in
the field, either in the primaries or the
convention, to lay off his coat and see
that it is elected.

uNREsERvED GIFT OF $4,000 70
THE PEOPLE!
And It's Inducements for the County
Seat!

On Tuesday, Nov. 18th, the people of
Sully will he called upon to decide
by their votes where the county
seat shall be located. After calm,
thoughtful and dispassionate investiga-
tion of the merits and dcmerits of the
various aspiring points in the field, or
prospective, We ask if any of them offer
greater, or as good, inducements as
does Clifton.
1t is universally admitted by all un-
prejudiced judges that we have the
handsomest and most pleasantly stu
ated town site-cleanly, healthful, easy
of access from all directions ut any
season of the year, splendid water and
plenty Of it, and located near the center
of the county where it will accommo-
date the people of every section alike.
Nor is this all. W. G.. Nixon, OF the
First National bank, of Pierre, trustee
of the Clifton Town Lot Co., without
reserve or proviso of any kind, has
given warrantee deed to Sully coun-
ty, through its Commissioners, to Park
Block No. II, containing 22 lots in the
best part of the village, only one square
north Of our business street where all
of us old settlers paid 500 per lot, to-
gether with all the appurtenances
thereon, including the Court House
building of three rooms, with the rent
free for the past eighteen months, and
is furthermore bounden unto the coun-
ty to defend the same. Said deed is
on record, open to inspection by all,
and our assertion need not be taken by
any who may feel the least skeptical.
Figuring these lots decided to the coun-
ty at less than we have given for our
own, which ought to be an equital. lie
basis, the building at onc-half its cost.
and reasonable rental for Is months
this presentation to the county cannot
be less than $4,000. We fe, confident
that the taxpayers of Sully county
will take these facts into consideration
to our favor on the 4th of November.
We should like to ask if any other
town has ever given the county any
thing in the way of property? If so
we have never heard Of it, The Onida
Journal contains proposition annull-
eel by provisos, but, as we understand
it, no collateral has rs vet been put up
and no assurance that there will be-
only the statement of the Journal that
"the good people of Onida " will do
so-andso. If they mean business, let
the money be banked, deeds drawn and
an order deposited with the County
Commissioners The people of Sully
county want something that talks
louder than mere words. Clifton has
come to the front and the property
mentioned above now belongs to the
people, let the county seat be located
where it may.
Cash will be paid for good new
mulch cows, or those coming IN soon.

THE BLOODY SHIRT.


The four years fight for the election of
the head of the nation is rapidly nearing
its regular periodical return and, as usual,
it is heralded by un grdnde elevation of
an Jloodie SteeIT, as the foreigner would
say. Malone is ringing his clarion blast
to the old Virginia breeze, laden with the
usual readiuster nonsense, which is only a
sideplay of the ~monopolists to draw atten-
ton from the real issues, which should
engross the attention of the people of the
United States to the exclusion OF the four
years return of southern outrages. The
people are ridden to death by taxation,
grinding them like unpalpable powder be-
meath the iron mail-clad heel Of the party
in power. There is great danger of the
loss of New York or PENNSYLVANIA to the
republican party; on that account the
hitherto i%mpenetrable phalanx of a solid
south must be broken. The nonsense of
