Tilden's Successor,

Upon whom shall the leadership of
the Democratic party be settled, now
that Mr.. Tilden has declined to take
the place offered him by common con-
sent? There are not wanting able
men. tried statesmen and experienced
politicians in the party which includes
among its membership Thurman,
Bayard, Cleveland, Mcdonald, Hen
bricks, Morrison, Carlisle, Dorsheimer
and others who have proved their
fitness to discharge any trust contided
to them and their worthiness to adorn
any official station. The question for
the party's determination is, who
among these Of equal fitness possesses
points of special fitness to render his
candidacy successful? 1t is admitted
without controversy that the electoral
vote of New York is essential to DEM
ocratic success, and that the vote of
that state will insure success. The
question then becomes simplified. 1t
is, who can carry New York?
That man is Bayard. He is espe-
cially acceptable to the independent
voters Of New York who have rejected
the Republican candidate. He is &C
ceptable to the business men of New
York, already alarmed at the nominal
ton OF Blaine aud combining to de-
feat his election. His public life, un-
stained by any scandalous transaction
free from any faint of corruption,
grows whittier by contrast with the
official record of the Republican can
didate reeking with the filth of Peru.
Wan guano and other disreputable
uses of official position for personal
gain. Bayard's reputation will draw
to his support thousands of voters In
New York who are attached to no
party, who give their votes to men
who represent the best type Of states
manship. They elected Tilden gov.
ernor of New York, aud they elected
him president OF the United States by
carrying New York for him. They
gave Cleveland his phenomenal ma.
jorlty OF almost 10000 In New York.
They are friendly disposed toward
bayard, and can carry New York for
him. His conservative courxe In deal
Ing with business matters has given
him the unbounded confidence Of the
New York business fraternity, and
opposed against such man ~ Blaine
they would support him with una
nimity and enthusiasm. The same

MASSACHUSETTS leads Off the Re
publican revolt against Blaine. At a
recent meeting of the Reform club OF
Boston, composed chiefly of Repabli-
cans, 1t was resolved to support the
Democratic candidate, IL the party
shall nominate such man as Bayard
or Cleveland. The following resolu-
ton was adopted:
The Massachusetts Reform club regard the
nomination OF Messrs. Blaine and Logan by
the Republican party rs distinct and UNI
qualified reputation of all Its professions OF
reform, and as an insult to the conscience OF
the country. The members of the club Will
under no circumstances support them.

to such pitch that the republican cen
tral committee of that county declared
by resolution that Mr.. Richardson haC
orfelted the support of the republican
party and withdrew his name flon the
ticket, substituting therefor tie name OF
Dan. W. Maratta, democrat Of Burlcigl
county. Not only this, but they went
outside of the record and repudiated Mr..
Steele, of Kldder county, and Mr.. Ste
vens, Of Griggs. This all came OF Mr..
Richardson's refusal to support tho re-
publican ticket in his own county, and
unless he can explain his extraord nary
course better than he has yet done he can
hope for but little sympathy from the re-
publican party in other parts Of the dis
trlct.
The democrats were in position to take
advantage of this situation, and, as might
have been expected, have put up their
strongest man, Capt. AIaratta, for the
council to defeat one or the other of the
republican candidates for the council and
they are not particular which-anything

BIaine's Secret Marriage.

The Hon. John V. LeMoync, OF this
city. was one of the witnesses 10 tile mar
riage IT James G. Blaine, al Pittsbure.
in March 1851. The deposition Of Mr..
LeMoyne was taken this morning before
5. W. Burnham, deputy clerk of the UNI
ted States court, to be used against the
Indianapolis Sentinel in Blaine's libel
suit against that paper. In answer to
w. G. Goudy, the attorney representing
the Sentinel, Mr.. LeMoyne SAID lie was d
classmate of Blaine's at Washington, Pa.
that in March 1851, Blaine came into his
office and asked him If he would witness
secret marriage between himself and Q
lady. Deponent SAID he would. Blaine
said the lady's friends were opposed to
the marriage, and 1t would have to be
secret. The lady was introduced by Mr..
Blaine. as Miss Harriet Stanwood.
Mr. Blame called on the deponent either
the day following or the day subsequent
to this, and requested Mr.. LeMoyne not
to say anything about the malriage until
the period of SIX months had passed he
also asked the deponent to make the same
request of Mr.. Bell, the other witness TO
the ceremony.-Chlcago Mail.

ALTHOUGH the AlerL was opposed to
holding strictly party convention; either
republican or democratic in name, and
had no part nor lot IN the recent repub-
l,can convention for the nomination of a
county ticket, the convention was actu-
ated by liberahty and concession Of par.
tisauship which we most heartily endorse
and which will give strength to the ticket
with all fair and lib, raj minded people in
the county. We favored the re- election
of Mr.. Watson to the Office of district at.
torney for reasons not necessary now to
re ocat, but as he went into the conyen.
tioukhe rs an honorable man will abide
it's decision and be is consequently Eow
out of the contest for the office. His sue.
cessful rival, MIR. Glaspell, is man whom
we personally esteem and whose abilities
as an attorney we admire, and our prefer
ence for Mr.. Watson was for the single
reason that he was already in office and
thoroughly acquainted with all its de.
tails, and had the cases been reversed we
would for the same reason have as hearth
ly supported Mr.. Glaspell for reelection.
The rest of the ticket is as satisfactory to
the Alert as if we had had the naming of
the candidates and we most heartily sup
port the ticket from top to bottom.

THE DEAD JOURNALIST.

The announcement of the death of
Wilbur f. Storey, the great and greatest
of western journalist last night will be
received throughout the continent and
beyond the seas with the most profound
sadness though not an unexpected event.
This brilliant sun in the journalistic
world has been IN an eclipse for some
years but the knowledge that it has for
ever set will fall like a pail upon the
members of the profession throughout
the world. Within comparatively a few
years Henry j. Raymond, of the New
York Times, James Carbon Bennett, Of
the Herald, Horace Greeley, of the Tri-
bune, and Wilbur +. Storey, OF the Chi
cago Times, all veterans and brilliant
lights in journalism, and the most bril-
liant in America and the peers of any in
the world, have fallen before the grim
monster. Storey was man no less re.
markable for his enterprise and aggress
iveness than for his genus and fore
thought. He set his mark ahead and
worked to it against whatever obstacle
that might oppose. He was leader 10
political sentiment in which he was al
ways far in advance of the times in which
he promulgated his ideas. During the
war he took bold stride out of The dem
ocratic party because the party would not
keep up with the progress of the age, and
from that time he has never been hemmed
in by party lines. In one sense he has
been political Ishmaellte striking down
the clogs to progress wherever he found
them, acknowledging allegiance to no
party, sect or dogmatlcal opinion but
seeming to aspire to be a party to HIM
self which all meu and parties should
respect from fear If not from admiration

The Murder at MenOken.

In relation to the killing of the black
smith Bessey by Magill at Menoken, fif-
teen miles east of Bismarck, the Bismarck
Tribune says of the inquest on Thursday:
The first witness called was James c. Car
ter, who was present Immediately after
the homicide. lie worked on the farm :.
knew Bessey and the prisoner had previ-
Gus quarrcls. Found Bessey lying under
the work bench in pool Of blood, dead, /,
within three minutes after the she otln , !;
found two shells taken from yourg Ma
gill's gun on the floor near Bessey.. s. G..
Smith, sworn. He had known IN Ma
gll.s four years; had known Besseey two
years; Thomas Magill had had G.ouble
before with Bessey, and told Smltt some
time previous that he (MagllI ha'. asked
Besscy for a team of horses, which Bessey
had charge Of, and had been refused, and
that he (Bessey) would keep at him (Ma-
gilD until he (Bessey) would get hurt.
Smith had beer accustomed to going out
with Magill hunting and had never known
him to load his gun before starting; said
Magill had always heretofore been anx-
ious not to have the guns loaded hCtore
starting and had cautioned in this regard
ON previous trips. Thus far no witnesses
have been called to corrobo,atc Magill's
story that sledge hammer was to te
used on him oy Bessey. The onl? sle6ge
hammer found near the scene of the mur-

with cinde-s and dust, showing no signs
of recent use \ small hammer lay in

CAss county is the eighth wonder In
politics. There are four tickets in the
field and it would require person who
is able to solve a Chinese puzzle TO dis
cover which IS which and who is who.
Another very strange fe .ture of the cam
pa,gn in that county IS that on the re-
publican ticket for the territorial counc!!
is d. Il. Twomey, an avowed prohibition
lst, and for the assembly W. B. Locklin,
VIII declares himself in favor OF division
of the county, in favor of clipping, as 1t
were, the wing feathers CT the city OF
Fargo and Cass county as political CEN
ter and stronghold. The latter is also
one of tn. boilers of two years ago who
joined in defeating the election of Maj
Edwards who had been regularly NOM
mated at the republican convention for
the legislature. THIS political Babel
comes of Major Edwards going "out Of
