The above table proved SO inter-
esting when. published last week,
that several parties called for copies
of the paper, and we being unable
to supply them have decided to re-.
publish the same. The table shows
the assessed valuation Of the county,
where the property is located, what
it consists of and the gain OF loss in
1884 over 1888. 1t will he seen that
the total valuation of the county
the present year is 90, ,049, $50, a gain
of $411,S34 over last year; and yet
the average assessment is consider
ably lower than last year, all the
way from one to two dollars per
acre. And in the matter of cattle
it will be seen that although there
was gain of more than 1000 head,
the assessors lose over $4,000 on
that item alone. In sheep there is
gain of l89 head and the assessors
lose $445. In the matter of stocks
|. Wahpeton alone has lost $16,3S2
worth. Call other property valua-
tion" in Wahpeton alone, loses $10,-
9 SO; and yet on the whole, the coun-
ty in 1884 makes a la ndsome show
ing over 1883.

The Governor at Bismarck,

Governor Pierce and family ar
rived at Bismarck last week and
was met by a very large concourse
of people, who gave the disting-
uished party most royal reception,
and address by Judge Francis, when
the governor responded as follows:
My Fellow-Citizens:- II am almost
painfully embarrassed on this occa-
sion. It is simply impossible for
me to respond in fitting terms to
the address of welcome which has
been so eloquently delivered. I of
course can well imagine that this is
not compliment to me personally.
l would be very vain to so construe
it. AS said at Fargo last evening,
l hope I may assume that this dem
Onstration is an evidence of your
good wishes and good will toward
the temporary governor of Dakota,
the continuance of which must rest
on his future good behavior. Ihave
met this same kindness in three
different sections of Dakota. T re-
ceived it in the extreme southern
portion of the territory, 1 received
it again for the last two days on the
line of the northern Pacific and it
seems to me that the people all over
this territory are about the same,
with the same hopes, the same de-
sires and the same purposes. 1t has
been said of Dakota that her soil
needs only to be tickled with the
pillow to laugh with abundance. 1t
seems, to me that. the people of Da-
kota need only to be stirred by fair
ness to bound with generosity and
hospitality. I can see no reason in
the world why the people Of Dakota
north and south, east and west,
should not be united on everything
united even on division, if in the
future it should seem polite. Hook
forward few years, and see young
men and boys Of the territory; some
of whom may be before me now, fu-
ture governors, senators and repre-
sentatives in congress, or judges of
two, three or four proud states
carved out of this grand territory.
I see them rising up great in com
merces, great in science, great in
art and great in mighty deeds ac-
complished. How Infinitely small
then will appear the petty dis
sensions and chickering's of to-day, of
what little Importance will we be
then if we do not 60 forward now
( In united effort to promote prosperi-
~ and the best interests of the great
territory. I hope my friends that
j have not said to much on this oc-
casion. We have habit down
where ! came from of appreciating
very short speeches. I can simply
say to you that I have come here to
reside and expect and hope to meet
you all again; in a social way.
thank you for this surprising dem
Eonstrat ation, for must say that I am
surprised. Again ] thank you and

say the Grand Army of the Republic
will do no such thing. It will
neither engineer Mr.. Logan's or
any other mans political campaign.
The G. A. r.. has no more to do with
politics than the devil has to with
greasing the hinges of, the golden

up the G. A. r. as a political organ

St. Louis, Aug. IA dispatch
from Freedonia, Tex, says: A des-
perate fight occurred 10 miles north
of this place Monday evening, in
which one man was killed and three
mortally wounded. Samuel Faulk-
ner and Henry Allen met the two
Woodall brothers on the road and
attacked them with Winchester
rifles. The party dismounted and
fought from behind their horses.
Nearly twenty shots were exchanged.
Allen was shot through the heart in
about the fifth round and killed.
One of the Woodalls was shot in the
shoulder and neck and disabled.
The other Woodall and Faulkner
closed with bowie knives and a fear
full combat ensued, in which Wood
all was stabbed just below the heart.
Faulkner then turned to look after
his dead companion Allen, and as
he did so received a bullet in his
breast from the pistol of the older
Woodhall. who was lying on the
ground with his neck and shoulder
split open with a Winchester.
Faulkner will probably recover.
Both the Woodalls will die.

Nrothern vote needed by Democrats. AZ
OF the 248 Northern votes the Demo
Gratis would require only AZ to elect.
In 1880 Nevada, California and New
Jersey cast their electoral votes for Han
cock. These in 1884 would count 20, which
would reduce the Democratic minority to
81. New York alone would supply that
or Ohio and Michigan, or Ohio and Indiana.
or Ohio and Connecticut. If New York
should go Democratic. it would require
only II more votes from the North to elect
the Democratic candidate. On the other
hand, if the Republicans should carry New
York, they could lose Nevada, California,
New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut, al
together Al votes, and still elect by bare
majority. But it is plain to see we could
not afford to have a candidate that would
seriously risk New York or Ohio, and in
making nominations this fact should not
be lost sight of. Of the two, Ohio, though

is the most important, for the reason that
Ohio votes in October, and whichever
party carries the State that month will be
apt to carry it in November, and the gen.
eral effect will be such as to dangerously
effect the result in other States. Perhaps
it would be conceded now that if Ohio
should go Democratic in October the Dem
ocratS would carry the election in NOvem-
Der.
The figures make it perfectly plain that
the Republicans have no strength to waste
on mere sentiment. This can be played
harmlessly, perhaps, in advance Of the
nominating convention, but it can not be
tri1ed with when that body comes tomake
a candidate. 1t willno do to nominate a

of the Republican party will depend largely
on the character and standing of the candi-
date and mainly on his ability to carry
Ohio and New York.

An Avaricious Age.

A great many people call the present age
an avaricious one. The American, as a rule,
thinks of the almighty dollar in all of his
tranactions, whether in the pursuit OF
wealht, health or pleasure. The general
tendency of our race is toward excess, and
this should be carefully guarded against.
The love of money is generally credited
with being the root of all evil. but all peo-
