THE party of alleged reform, alleged
purity and alleged justice, now that it is
in power, will have an opportunity to
exercise its alleged fairness in the en-
actment of legislation in the. interest of
the long-sutfering people Of Dakota. On
this subj ect the Philadelphia News says:
Dakota cast over $1,000 votes in the
November election. This is Q than
the vote Of New Hampshire or Vermont.
It is 10, 900 more than Rhode Island, Del
aware and Nevada combined; twice as
large al that of Colorado, and half as
large again as Oregon. Yet Dakota is
not a state. Her vote indicates a popu-
lation of half a million, which would en-
title her to two senators, three congress-
men and five presidential electors. Da-
kota ought to be admitted as a state of
this union. The only reason why she is
not admitted by congress is that she
casts q Republican majority of about
n .000. ::

TIE Devils Lake Democrat, a bright,
crisp little sheet, made its appearance
Thursday morning full of local news
and a good showing of advertising. 1t
is published by the Democrat Printing
Co, Of which Robert Cairnes is presi.
dent and H. D. Wilcox is secretary.
The latter is an old-time printer and
publisher. The editor says in his
%salutatory:
The publication of the Democrat is
purely. q business enterprise. It's pro-
jectors are not candidates for the post
Office, land office, or other political
favors. Neither do they expect or desire
to control the action of the party. So far
as 1t is able to promote the interests OF
true democracy the Democrat will do,
yet it will not be so radical that liberal
minded men of all parties cannot give it
q hearty welcome. It will devote the
greater part of its energies to making 8
readable local paper. Further promises,
we do not, at present, care to make.

LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE,

The Democratic House of Represent
atives has inaugurated the old plan of
creating a big dust to hide its party
tracks. Mr.. Follett, who was beaten for
congress by Ben Butterworth, wants an
investigation insthe district that failed
to give him a majority. The Chicago
Tribune suggests that the investigation
be extended to the south, and says:
The last time that the Republican vote
of South Carolina was counted was in
1870, and it then gave Hayes 81, $40 and
Iilden 90,9O8, showing a total vote of
the number of legal voters in the state
was 2O4,7s2. At the recent election the
total vote cast was but 81, 1923, Of which
the Bourbons took 1880, returning for
the Republicans only 21, 733. Thus in a
Republican state giving Cleveland and
Hendricks 48, 1877 majority! But where
have the 10000 other Republican votes
that were cast for Hayes gone2 Certainly
not to Cleveland, for his vote falls below
Tilden's and Hancock's. AS less than a
nth Of the Republican vote was cast, or
If cast counted by the Bourbons, the lat
ter did not deem it necessary to turn out
in full strength; $4,000 Bourbons staid
away from the POLLS and 80, 900 Republi-
can votes were either not cast or counted.
The whole election in that state was q
farce. The eight boa plan was sufficient
Of itself to keep out the vote of an i'm
mense number Of colored Republicans.
By arranging eight boxes for separate
candidates and stationing white men at
the polls to tell the Bourbons where to
place their votes the Bourbon votes were
all polled.
The total number of voters in Alabama
four years ago was 41,64l white and
lis, 423 colored, a total Of 259, 1884. The
total vote cast at the recent election was
1884, 89, showing a falling off Of LOG, O95.
The decrease is shown in the disfran-
chisement Of colored voters and in the
failure of many Bourbons to vote, be-
cause their vote was unnecessary.
The total voting population Of Missis-
sippi was 23S, 532 four years ago, ofwhom
1O8,2A were white and 13O,278 colored.
The total vote at the recent election was
l21,23l, showing a falling off in the vote
of III, 300, which is not even equal to the
colored vote of the state (130,278), thus
showing not only that the Republican
majority had been wiped out of sight,
but that it had been done so effectually
that several thousand white Bourbons do
not even think it necessary to vote at all.

Look Out for Hiram,

The St. Charles (Minn.) Union says
there are a bakers dozen on the list of
aspirants for thepostofice at that place,
but the editor suggests that "there is
one important factor in the postofice
business that we presume has not been
at all considered by the applicants now
putting forward their claims. That
factor is INV. Hill, ex-editor, ex-sena
tor, etc., for some time absent from St
Charles, it is true, but who has never
given up his residence here. Well BET
a ham sandwich that Hiram can give all
the other parties a good three months

at the winning post, if he choose to en-
