DON'T LAKE Outside Interference.

Some OF the Dakota papers do not fancy
the attempt of outside papers to influence
the delegate matter. The Faulk county
Itadiator says: ''The Pioneer Press is very
strenuous in advocating the denomination
OF Delegate Raymond Poor Dakota with
her 400, 900 people; is, apparently, begrudged
even so slight voice in her own affairs as
the uninfluenced selection of her single and
only representative to Congress, and i'll
which even the one has no vote. 1t looks
mean that they want man without infiu-
ence or power, as well as without vote to
represent us. What pity the press or the
president could not appoint a delegate for
US. How long, oh, We gods!

The grand democratic jubilee and
blowout last night in this city was a
most creditable affair to those who
got it up. In point Of magnitude
and enthusiasm it was truly a sur
prise. 200 or 800 torches were in
the procession and all the business
houses and residences whose owners
had democratic tendencies, were
brilliantly Illuminated and present
ed a gala appearance. The procession
started from the court house square
at half past seven o'clock and march
ed all over the city cheering in front
of every residence and business
house that was illuminated. One
notable and very appropriate thing
occurred and that was their cheer
ing for St, John. A crowd of small
boys at every opportunity persisted
in cheering for Blaine, but other
wise the democrats had full and
peaceable possession of the city.

The Elk Pointers stopped coming
to Prairie all at once, perhaps be-
cause the election is over. Well, the
election caused q vast difference in
the looks OF the people here.
Some looked awful angry,
Others looked awful good,
Some looked contented,
Others would II they could.
The first report here by wire was
that K. w. Miller had carried every
thing solid south of South Carolina
for treasurer. Prairie seemed to
make a bad showing this fall. but
all of the satisfaction we can get
from a good many of Union coun-
tvs old republican voters is that the
party played hog with Prairie at the
convention, and that Prairie had
now paid them back in the same
kind Of hog currency. and they fur
Their swear to 60 back on the party
every time the party goes back on
them.

Omcial Negligence.

KELLER. TEN, May 8.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
In Justice to myselfand many others
in this community, respectfully ask
space in your columns to notice the
utter negligence Of the tax collector,
Frank Elliston. In the delinquent
tax list, as published in the Fort
Worth Democrat, appears my name
and the names of several other citizens
of Keller rs delinquent taxpayers for
the year 1883. We all have receipts
showing that our taxes were regularly
and duly paid, and II Mr.. Elliston will
explain why he caused our names to
be published as above he will do US as
we'll AS the Tarrant county public
great favor. Tarrant county pays the
tax collector for performing faithfully
and accurately the duties of his re-
sponsible office. III he does not know
what those duties are, after two years
the sooner he makes room
for somebody who does know them
and will perform them, the better will
1t be for all concerned.
No business man, in fact no man
who cares straw for his standing in
The commercial world, wants his name
published as that of person who Is
delinquent In the very important
matter of paying his taxes, especially
f he has paid those taxes and has
receipts to show for it.
