Politics in the Black Hills are peculiar.
The Deadwood Times for some weeks
past has been industriously advocating
the cause Of Captain Raymond and tell.
ing its readers why Sam McMasters
should not go to congress. The issue of
the Times for August 2sth contained two
columns OF editorial of the strongest
anti-McMasters type. Among the vari-
GUS articles was snugly tucked away this
little paragraph:
The "bar'l" is mighter than the pen,
but then Sam is no hog, and what does
he need of pen?
The Times of August 10Th contains
a double loaded announcement
of the complete conversion of that paper
to the cause of McMaster, coupled with
an apology for the brevity of the an.
nouncement, which is accounted for by
"the lateness of the hour at which these
conclusions were reached last night"
The change of heart is based upon a
desire to promote "harmony" in the
party and the issue of August 30th fairly
booms with "barmonious" expressions in
behalf of McMaster. These are our
reasons for concluding that politics in
the Hills are peculiar.

A Grand Forks telegram uncovers the
scheme Of the capital crowd and conveys
to the public the intensity of the feeling
in the Red river valley in opposition to
that delectable outfit:
George a. Walsh has definitely an
bounced himself as q candidate for the
council. Meantime the Nelson county
convention, held Saturday, instructed
its delegates to attend the Grand Forks
convention of Oct. lst, ignoring the
Walsh. Flittie call for Larimore. The
same convention elected delegates to
Pierre strongly for Raymond; in fact,
nlne-tenths of the people of this valley
will support Raymond, whether the
manipulators and proxy manufacturers
nominate him at Pierre or not. 1t has
been reported that $4,000 we're sent here
to help Walsh in his fight to be returned
to the council; but the anti-capital COM
mission feeling is so intense, it is said,
that no one connected with that trade
can be successful before the people.
Tue republicans Of the Red river valley
have fully made up their minds to fight
the iniquitous traders until the territory
is rid of them and in their effort they
will have the hearty cooperation, of the
south and considerable portion of the
James river valley of the north.

That matters are in an interesting
shape at jamestown is indicated by the
following telegram under date of the lst
inst:.
One of the stormiest political meet
ings ever held in the territory has Just
concluded at the court house. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
nominating delegates to the county con.
vention for the selection of candidate
to represent this district in. the terri
torial council. The candidates were
Hon. johnson Nickeus, the present in.
cumbent, and Albert G. Allen, of the
north Dakota bank. In speech of con-
siderable length, just before the ballot
ing, MIR. Nickeus gave brief account of
his legislative acts, and denounced in
strong terms the editor of the Alert,
Hon. q. P. Wells, and several other
prominent gentlemen here who are ad.
vocating the candidacy of Mr.. Allen.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Nickeus
spoke tor about twenty minutes past the
time specified for calling the meeting to
order, one of Mr.. Aliens managers de-
clared the caucus illegal and stated that
his friends would take no part in it.
The widest excitement prevailed and it
was we'll nigh impossible for non.
Nickeus man to obtain q hearing. A
ballot Was taken. and the result showed
that 446 votes had been cast for Mr.
Nickeus and s8 for Allen; but many OF
the latter's friends declined to take any
part IN the proceedings.
Mr.. Nlckeus was . member of the last
Legislature and . leader III the capital

The following from the st. Paul
Pioneer-Press of the I'd, indicates the
revival of the scheme to construct q
railroad from Duluth to the Union
Pacific railroad which was started last
spring under the name of the Duluth &

The Morris & Southwestern railroad
company yesterday filed their articles of
incorporation. The proposed road will
start from Morris, and thence running
southwesterly to some point on the
Union Pacific railroad in the state of
Nebraska between Columbus and Kear.
ney Junction, IN same state. The prin.
cipal place of business will be Duluth.
The capital is $lO.000,0OO. divided into
100000 shares of 500 each. The great.
eat amount OF indebtedness is limited to
Sl0.000.000. The incorporators are A.
]. Sawyer. A. NJ. Miller. ]. q. Hunter
and w. w. Spalding, of Duluth, and W.
d. Cornish, Crawford Livingston and
Harlan P. Hall, of st Paul.
If the old line is followed this road

cut this half of the territory up into
small factions. get everybody by tho ears

UneaAY Indians.

Fort Keogh, Mont, Aug. 31.-Word
has just come in from Fort Buford that
there are six thousand Indians at Poplar
river, Mont, who are acting ugly and
making matters otherwise unpleasant at
that agency. The cause of the disturb
ance arises from the fact that the sava.
ges have been placed on half rations and
they are clamoring for more. Fears of
an outbreak are entertained, and hostili-
ties may commence at any moment. The
post commander, Maj. W. T. Hartz, fif.
teenth infantry, is watching the situation
closely, and is preparing for any emer.
gency.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: The above re-
port fails to strike northwestern ears
with aught of novelty. The number of
Indians is too great by at least 1,50O, and
they are of the Yanktonnias breed of
Sioux-interminable GROWERS, but bet
ter at threats than war unless they are
absolutely sure of winning. Maj. Hartz
has but two companies of infantry at
Poplar river (probably 100 fighting men)
and couple of pieces of artillery. Many
of the Indians are camped at the agency,
which is less than half mile from the
post, but the majority are further up
Poplar creek, in the Missouri river bot
toms, four to five miles away or the Red
water, on the southwest bank of the Mis-
souri, and from eight to twenty miles dis.
tant. The Yanktonnias at Poplar are
those who SO long encouraged Gall, Grow
King and Sitting Bull to maintain their
hostility to the whites, and the hatred
those chieftains bear them, due to brok.
en- promises and thefts in the shape of
remuneration for food demanded, is
deeper than that they bear their final
captors. Doubtless the Indians are like
Curtis democrats, and confront the
agent "very hungry" (they are always
very thirsty. Their shortage of ratlons
has been matter of comment by north.
