The Sullv delegates to the Terri
torial Republican Convention at Pierre
on the 18th of next month should be
chosen with especial reference TO their
prediction on the question of terri
torial division and admission of South
ern Dakota to early statehood.
We want no hesitancy or uncertainty
in this direction. 1t is unquestionably
the desire of the masses of the people,
and no stone should be left unturned
which will tend to the accomplishment
of their wishes in this direction The
interests of the two extremes of our
great territory are SO diversified that
harmony can never exist, but without
entering into discussion Of the rea-
sons why division is sought at the
present time, it Is enough for us to
know that the people insist upon it,
and their will should be the law.
Hence we say, know how the delegates
chosen from Sully stand, and, what
would be better, instruct them to stand
by some man from South Dakota for
Congress who is sound on these points.

that led To the war. When the war
came, he didn't volunteer, but he was
drafted-the first name drawn from the
box. Prior to that time he put some
money in pool gotten up for the pur-
pose, and with the money derived from
Lnat pool he hired substitute. His
name was Bradford, and a place was
provided for him at Augusta instead of
going to the front. Afterward he was
uetecLed selling for money forged Ger
tiicates of exemption papers, and he
was arrested and confined in jail until
the'close of the war. Then gentlemen,
after the war had closed, the men who
had pooled aud put up their money to
furnish substitutes clamOred because

Il substitute. Blaine got his bond of
$500. Afterward "A resolution was put
into The Common Council of the city
of Augusta TO pay Blaine $500, and il
was voted and passed. and he got his
pay twice. Now, gentlemen. that is n
true story of Eaine's service in put

He impaired his own enthusiasm to

He is the Croke OF America
DIR. McGlynn stigmatizes as impu

Irish Catholics will not vote for Grover
Cleveland. He declares bluntly that
there is no warrant for this assertion
He expresses his contempt for fellows
who endeavor to make political capita,

ABOUT $2OOOOO,O00 of the money
raised annually for the support of the
Government is derived from duties on
imports, and by far the larger amount
is levied on those commodities con-
sumed by the laboring and poorer
classes. Those people are simple in
deed who imagine that the foreign
importers pay into the treasury this
vast sum. The fact is the last cent of
it is paid by the consumer, and it is
the height of nonsense to claim that
the party favoring levying more taxes
than is necessary to pay the debts and
current expenses of the government,
economically administered, is the
friend of the workingmen and the
people. He is precious idiot who
deludes himself with the idea that the
importer pays the duties on the goods
he i'm ports into this country without
the hope of return.

10 o'clock A. m. Friday morning.
The second ballot resulted as follows

Various States asked to change their
votes to Cleveland. and it was SOON
evident that Cleveland had more than
the necessary two-thirds majority ,and
his nomination was made unanimous
amid the widest cheering, firing of
cannon Oh outside of hall, and the
most beautiful floral displays.

nee for Vice President. E..-
At the evening session the roll of
States was called for the presentation
Of candidates for Vice President. Cal
ifornia presented Gen. Rosencrans !;
Colorado presented Mcdonald; Kan
sas presented Gov. Click; but when a
delegate arose and presented Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, the widest
cheering ensued; all other names were
withdrawn, and Hendricks received
the solid vote of every State.
There is no graund to doubt that the
nominations were fairly made, and
that the Convention by its twO-thirds
majority voiced the sentiments of the
Democracy of the Union. Let the
| friends of honest government, the en-
emies of fraud and corruption, forget

rally around the banner OF Cleveland
and reform, and march forward to GER
