The most hotly contested election
ever held in Denver were the primaries on the
2lst. The election really resolved itself into q
senatorial contest, all other issues being for
the time forgotten. The two factions were
led by Senator Hill and Mayor Routt. Each
party claimed majority of the delegates and
as a result two conventions were held, each
calling the other boilers. Two sets Of candi
dates for county officers were placed in the
field and two delegations elected to the State
Convention. Each faction charges the othe,
with bribery and corruption.

How Kislingbury Died.
New York Times.

New York Times
Some facts about the death of Lieut..
Kisllngbury, Of the Greely party, have
come to the knowledge of his brothers
which have not as yet been published.
About twenty-th1ee days before the sur
vivors were rescued, word came to the
dying men from tho watchers that a
polar bear was seen. Kislingbury raj
lied his fast failing strength and led the
way with two others following. The
bear was shot and it furnished food
enough for the remnant Of the party to
pull through. They had been living on
strips Of clothing. When Kislingbury
had brought the bear in he said to
Greely: .'That bear was sent by Provi-
dence." Kislingbury had before this
last fall-sustained . rupture by the
falling of an iceberg. He now failed
fast and said: Boys. it's all up with
me. When l am dead bury me with my
comrades in the Arctic regions" A
few days before he died he would crawl
out Of the hut and lie with his face 10
the sun. He died singing the solemn
words Of the Doxology. While sinking
into q peaceful slumber he whispered
these last words: "Aggie! Aggie! Ag-
gie!" meaning his first wife.

How the President is Chosen.

Technically speaking the President is
pie do not vote direct for any Presiden-
tial candidate. They cast their ballots
for electors, and these electors choose a
President and Vice-President. In each
state the number of electors is equal to
the number of Senators and Represen-
tatives which the state has in Congress.
In New York there are thirty six elec-
tors. Each party has an electoral tick
ct, with the names of those thirty six
electors printed on it. The electoral
ticket which receives the greatest num-
Der of popular ballots in the State will
be chosen by the people, and the cleo
tors named On it WILDE entitled to give
| their votes forthe candidate whom they
represent.
The electors who are chosen will meet
in each State on the first Wednesday in
December and cast their votes for a
President and Vice-President. AS a
matter of law they can then vote for
whom they please. They are not legal
lly bound to vote for Cleveland or
Blaine, or any other person who was a
candidate before the people. As mat
ter of usage and public trust they are
expected to vote for the candidate
whom they are pledged to support.
Certificates of the votes cast by the
electors in each State are then made
out and sent to Washington. These
certificates will be opened in the pres
ence Of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives and counted on the secont
"Wednesday in February. The tota
number Of electoral votes Is 401. Th'
candidate for President receiving thu
majority of these that is 2Ol-will b'
declared President. If no person ha
such majority, then the election goe
into the House of Representatives
J which is required to choose q Presiden
from the persons-not exceeding thre
who have received the most ,electora
votes for President. In the House tn
vote is by States, each State havinI
, one vote.

crops of the past few years.

crops of the past few years.
Now the country looks brown and
bare, but last summer 1t was sight to
behold-hundreds Of acres of wheat,
square miles of corn stretched away on
either side of the railroad far as the eye
could reach. Quite contrast to my
old ideas of the 'Great American Des-
ert. While the green, billowy mead
ows of the prairie; the wood fringed
banks Of the winding streams; the gar
dens and orchards, villages and towns,
farm houses and farms made scene
not easily forgotten. 4ft tFtt#
The agricultural resources Of this
country are so great that last fall a
county fair was held at Harper, which
was success in every particular, the
displays of fruit, vegetables, grains and
stock being surprise to even those
who were old timers and well acquaint-
ed with the country. And it must be
remembered that this country has not
been inhabited for more than ten or
twelve years at most. Ten years in a
timbered country will hardly clear
enough so one can see out, if he looks
up; ten years here will place man in
good circumstances, with good build
ings, farm well cultivated, well stocked
and yet leave time for social enjoyment
and intellectual improvement.
| Many have seen on railroad advertise
ments, two pictures-an improvement
on prairie, and one in timber country,
and then the same places ten years
later. Now, there is more truth than
fiction in those pictures, as anyone who
has seen the improvements along the
Wabash, in Northwestern Indiana, and
along the B. & o., In Northeastern
Ohio, and then has seen the farms
along the Southern Kansas, can testify.
We, here, have had the most delight
full weather this fall, imaginable. The
first of this week there was snow
enough to whiten the ground, and a
hard freeze, but it Immediately turned
warm again and tonight / am writing
in room in which there has been no
fire to-day. Yet, l can well imagine,
and, in fact / know from experience,
that Kansas can get up the coldest, as
well as the hottest weather, ever saw.
Yet the winters are much shorter than
in Ohio, and the springs much earlier.
The wind blows, it is said, much more
here than farther east in the State, but
1 cannot speak from personal knowl-
edge as to that. Tonight it is blowing
and shrieking like mad, but it has been
remarkably quiet most of the time this
fall. AS far as wind is concerned, my
experience goes to show that Kansas
has no harder nor more frequent winds
than Northwestern Ohio, and have
been here nearly five years; and, so
know of what speak.
People need not be afraid to
come to Kansas and build. Any house
which will stand the force of the winds
in Ohio will be secure here, and perfect
ly safe to live in, only build houses, not
shanties. $50 many Kansas houses
blow over" generally means that many
shanties, buildings not as substantial
as an ordinary smoke house. d

Stabbed Will, a Pencil.

For some reason. to us ineXplicable.
the officials OF Griggs county, ever since
the organization of Steele county. have
shown a desire to intermeddle in the af-
fairs of that portion of our territory
which was formerly included i'll Griggs.
This action has heretofore appeared to
our officials as being mere piece Of
childisEness on their part. and as it did
no harm to anyone on the east side Of
the river, We're content to let them keep
up the play as long as it tickled their
fancy. Recently however, this otficious-
ness has eliminated in published list
of the lands in ranges 56 and 81 as being
indebted to Griggs county for taxes in
1883, and conveying notice to the holder
thereof that unless the same were paid
their lands would be sold. This is car
rying the joke too far, and it is time to
call stop. The commissioners of
Steele now propose to see what virtue is
to be found in the laws Of the territory,
and see If an ap. aication thereof will not
teach the officials of Griggs little COM
mon sense, of which at present they
seem to be devoid.-Hope Pioneer.
