IS the failure of the Democrats to
AXE their fight for General Hancock
Tour years ago upon this issue as a con-
elusive proof of their imbecility. for, as
T Harpe7's Weekly icartooned Mr.. Lincoln
| in 1882, and supported General Gar
field in 1880, it would of course have
been easy to convince the. country that
the latter should not. be elected.
8. The English newspapers have
spoken favorably of Cleveland and I'M
Efavorably of Mr.. Blaine. The latter $
Cincinnati's organ makes q speciality Of
this point, and urges it as, the most
potent reason why Mr.. Blaine should
be the next President. ssas sgeia sea rs
4. Mr.. George Jones, who owns the
New York Times was born in England.
Every newspapers advocate OF Mr..
Blaine is expected to publish this state
ment at least once in each issue, and,
so far as the Times has observed. all of
the organs are obeying their instruc-
tons in this respect to the letter. Mr..
Jones, as matter of fact, happened to
be born in Vermont; but as Mr.. Blaine
began and has thus far conducted his
campaign upon the theory that Mr..
Jones was actually born in England, it
would of course be unfair to expect him
to change his plans now in the very
face of the enemy. So that Mr. Jones
will have to stay born in England so far
as the Blaine press is concerned, until
after the November election.
5. The Harpers wanted to print Mr..
Blaine's book. Mr.. Blaine gave it to
another firm. This made the Harpers
angry. and therefore M. Blaine ought
to be elected. -4sa SIS 81 s..s.sF;s. "a

century Mr.. Hendricks made a speech.
criticising the Administration of Presi-.
dent Lincoln. If anything were needed
to establish Mr.. Blaine's fitness for the
Presidency this is regarded as sufficient.
The New York Tribune is very conf
dent that no one but a pharisee would
object to Mr. Blaine's election after
reading Governor Hendricks ancient
speech, which. by the way, that gentle
man declares he never delivered.
If there are any other arguments 90
advanced by Mr.. Blaine's partisans in
support of his candidacy-aside, of
course, from those based upon the we'll
known total depravity of the Democrat
ic party and the .'splendid achieve

MORE aPHRAUD,

Sphinx couaty has been agitated this year
again in an attempt to remove the county
seat from Ashton but failed, because there
were three towns, voting for it. One on
the east, one ON the west and one on the
north, of Old Ashton, the county seat.
This made three cornered fight and re-
suited in neither town receiving the nec-
essary two-thirds vote for removal. Now
the Redfield papers are claiming it has
been discovered that Redheld actually car
ried the election for county seat IN 1880,
and was defrauded out of it. The Sun of
that place has the following on the SUBJ
ject
Another chapter in the already long
history of county seat frauds came to
liQht at the last meeting of the county
board. II seems the suspiciously large
vote cast in certain portions OF Sphinx
county led some of our citizen to inves-
tigate the records of the county. The
result shows that the canvassers of the
election 80 were all unfriedly To Redfeld.
That no record evidence in the commits
slons register shows that any place secured
a majority or did not, or whether the
question was voted on at all, or if SO what
the result of the election had been That
the poll books on file contained the only
evidence obtatnable upon the subject, and
that on The face of the returns Redheld

"FREE EXHIBITION. /,

A car flled with the agricultural produc-

day ut Bath, to give an opportunity of
seeing what the great Dakota valley is
capable of producing. The car was very
beautifully and artistiealiy decorated with
grain of many varieties, wheat, rye, corn.

and sides of the car we're festooned
wreaths of oats, with here and there inter
spersed ornamental grasses. little punches
of bright acacia berries for effect. The
flax made very important and graceful
part OF the trimmings. Corn of intinit.
variety hung in groups and single; and
such mamot h ears! so full and rich in
color, all hung in pleasing contrast with
bunches of the different grain. The wheat
ears were marvellous in size, throwing

st. Lawrence held an indignation meet
ing last Thursday. ostenslbly to censure
the action of the canvassing board in
throwing ont the fraudulent vote cast in this
commissioners district by the four town
ships in range 81. In reality it was held
TO excite and instill into the mind of the
people of Hand county prejudice against
the town Of Miller. and her citizens. Bald
win thin Ks that such things may eventual
ly result i'll fayor of st. Lawrence. Every
action of the people of that town under
the direct guidance OF Baldwin, has for
its object. the securing of influence frsm
other localities for the benefit of that town
in the future. There is no question but
what this continued and harmoaious exc
cution of Que idea by the people Of St.
Lawrence viii result ia partially, a, lesst,
accomplishing the object IN ,iew. In fact
We have III rec.n; bouts sGilicient evidence
that the cold ciammy fingers If death have

Lawrence as Miller imagined. There are
very few in Miller probably, who realize

has been abba to dispose of through her
central commit o, Which viii some time
return like bread cast upon the waters.
We may just AS well realize neS as later
that st. Lawrence is ut present as much
imbued with the idea that some duy she
will be the county seat of this county as
she was before it was located. Her actioas
prove that every energy viii be bent in
this one direction. And when this is full
ly realized we trust the people of Miller
will appreciate the necessity of discontinu-
ing existing factional differences which
have endangered our common interests
in the past, and unite in general effort
for the Advancement of our town. If We
start in now with the single idea that the
the towns interests are our own interests,
We can in two years. or by the time an
other general election 0ccurs make such q
town of Miller as will be an honor and
pride to almost the entire county, which
viii be accorded the right to be the county

Press & Dakotnian: II is a surprise,
eyen to the old residents of DakotI,. to be
confronted by the probability that the
territory has given a majority of sixty
thousand fer the republican candidate for
congress. Thi. mnioritysexcseds the ma
joiity Of most states and it has been given
in behalf OF the party which not many
years ago denied our people TIE boon of
representation in the national govern
ment and a place in the sisterhood OF

Gov Crosby, of Montana, in his report,
again recommends that no Mormon po-
lygamist be allowed to pre-empt public
lands. The Mormons are systematically
colonizing the territories in the neiShbor-
hood of Utah, and under direction of the
polygamous priesthood are taking up the
most desirable Of the government lands.
Those who pre-. emit these lands are sus-
tained by church funds, and the land is
subject to the orders of the church This
is only part of a deep laid scheme. long
since formed and energetieally presented,
to get control of Mantnna, Arizona and
other territories. Gov. Crosby says it is
more rapidly nearing success than the

If the people who know John Baldwin
were inclined to be surprised at anything
he did, they would have ample opportu-
nifty in his claim of an illegal districting
of the county. Baldwin is the mau that
procured the signatures to the petition

into five districts and advocating about
the same division adopted by the board.
At that time he lived in Howell and wan
ted commissioner from there. His ef-
forts in that direction came very near
