TIE republican presidential can didates continue their show. No western fair is complete which cannot boast it's Presidents day. Indeed, Blaine and Butler may we'll be considered the trickmules of pol itics, and of what use is trick mule if he cannot be shown? Logan ''draws" somewhat, but not so well as Blaine. Seriously what can be gained by candidates exhibiting himself around the country like a prize OK, more than to call down upon himself the censure of outraged political dignity?

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The editor of the Reflector, smart. ing under the merited criticism ol many members of the R. of +. organ. izatlon, for his ill-timed remarks about turning certain members out of the order, attempts to cover up his own shortcomings by abusing the DEMOCRAT for publishing the ar. ticle in question aud putting a head over the article that expressed in a nutshell the sentiments expressed. This is in keeping with the Reflect. ors tactics. When it makes a mis. take e--and they are legion--he tries to exculpatc himself by impli. eating others. In the same issue appears a few verses of so called DO etry in which the names of high minded and honorable citizens are rldiculed and played upon.

To catch Blaine falsifying has be- come so common as no longer to ex- cite surprise, but the most sorrowful of all his mistatements is that in re- gard to his secret marriages. The Indianapolis Sentinel declares that if ever the trial of the libel suit comes off it will present conclusive evidence that the alleged nesslcky marriage never took place.

Blaine. It is worse than folly to talk of reform and Bnller m the same day. Butler is Bla;ne's side show. His mission is to frastrate demo cratic harmony. If this country don't need q change no country ever did. We will only get it with thor ougil overhauling when the people rise up in their might and in strong rally under the banners oi democra cy take charge of the executive and legislative departments of the gov e-nmeut. IL won't do to simply elect a president, for he would be power less without democratic congress.
 Rally one and all, and prepare for
 the great battle on the 4th of Nov.

integrity, fcr they impeach tlse sc
 tions q a party with which they
 were eonnectesl at the very time the thing occurred It is amusing to zee men in this way tessif5 ing to their own shame, that IS, so far as their testimony is capable of belief. Generally that testimony is not be- lieved, and always so as touching the democratic party in Arkansas. When you hear men carping about rotten ness, etc, you always instinctively think of two things: First, the rec. ord and status of the party assaiIed, and second, the objects of the man assaiIing it. The record of the dem ocratic party ID Arkansas has been 30 pure, and for this reason so safely lodged in the hearts of the people, that 1t has and for long time will be above the darts Of carping dema- gogues. It's record, and tue yesults achieved under it's administrator proves 1t to have been always, and at all times, faithfully laboring for the best interests of the people IL has reduced taxation ever since it came into power, It decreased .he bur den of the states indebtedness by many millions or dollars. The Fish. back Amendment is one of it's meas
 ures forever debarring the fraudu- lent bonds, amounting to many mil. lions, from payment, or any sort ol recognition by the state hereafter
 The present public school system and spirit of education among the people are part of it's trophies. and our insane asylum and deaf mute institute evidence It's systematic be. nevolence. It ilas at all times prov en itself the party of the people and the record of it's administrator has met the approval of the intelligen, masses of the people. It couldn't be otherwise for the great bulk of intel ligence and responsibility are within it's folds, and the intelligent and good people are not gong to do any
 thing to their own hurt. It's not from this class of people that you need to fear harm, but the man who
 would assail them and call them
 rotten! He is the one to avoid, anG
 he is best known as demagogue.

The financial health of Dakota is bet
ter than good, rs we learn from Treas
urer McNay. There is money enough
in the treasury to pay all claims rs they
fall due, whether current expenses or
bond account. The panic of three weeks
in New York affected us on one sale OF
bonds to the amount of three or four
per cent.
Dakota's bonded Indebtedness is 1891
500; assessed valuation of the eerritory
for 1884 is expected to reach $slOO,0OO,-
GOO. Thus four mill tax will wipe out
the entire debt of Dakota this year, if
it was necessary to do so. For this in
debtedness we have to show an insane
asylum at Yankton, university at Yer
million, agricultural college at Brook
ings, penitentiary at Sioux Falls, uni
versity at Grand Forks, normal school
at Madison, penitentiary at Bismarck,
insane asylum at jamestown, school for
the blind at Sioux Falls-all well con-
structed buildings. Treasurer McVay
says: don't believe there has been a
steal in one of them.'
TO show the credit of Dakota in
financial circles, Mr.. McVay says: I've
have never sold any per cent bonds
for less than par. Truly we are Il
favored people in a goodly land.
