TIE LYON COUNTY O4NPATGl

THE LYON COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
The local campaign IN Lyon county
has thus far been very quiet, partly be-
cause the political thought of the peo-
pie has been intensely absorbed in
national questions, and partly because
the personnel of the local ticket has been
felt to be so unexceptionable that there
is little need for argument as TO its
endorsement at the polls. Three of
the candidates for county offices, Messrs.
Feighan, Klock and Traylor, have al
ready a record OF efficient public service
of such character that the interests of
the people will in no sense be served by
any change. The character, legal expe-
rience and position as a citizen of Col.
harrington fifty qualify him for the po-
sition for which he is a candidate
and the candidate for commits
sioner in this district is &
gentleman whose interests are so allied
with those of the people, that his cleo
ton will prove guarantee, so far as his
vote is concerned, fol q safe, economical
and honest county government
Aside from questions OF fealty to party
which entitle all these gentlemen tc
hearty support, comparison in
personal fitness, experience and quail.
fications for office of each
Republican nominee with his
opposition competitor will in every
| instance result favorably for the can
didate on our ticket. There has not been
a time for years in the history of Lyon
county when there was SO little room
for local dissentions or personal disaf
lection with regard to the candidates fol
county offices and the administers
ton of county affairs as now
aud 1t behooves Republicans to resist al
guerilla warfare on the ticket, and Il

Sentor Ingalls, words last night on the
importance of electing purely Repub-

every Republican voter in Lyon county.
They were not words of personal i'm

importance from national political
standpoint that there should be no pos
sibility of Democratic success in the
senatorial contest next winter. Demo
cratic or mongrel votes can not be de-
pended upon to secure the election OF
Senator Ingalls, or any other Re

Aberdeen, ID. T., Oct. l7-Much excite
ment was caused here this afternoon by
a cowardly attack of one E. L. Spence
on Judge Drake, editor of the Dakota
Pioneer. Drake, referring to Spence in
his weekly paper, stated some fact
plainly. Spence met Drake in the Sher-
man house this afternoon and pointing
to the article, asked him if he wrote it.
Drake replied: "Yes sir" Spence said !:
what do you mean by it?" Drake told
him he meant just what be said. Spence
then said: "You must apologize" at
the same time placing his hand on his
revolver. Drake grabbed his arm and
backed him up against the wall and
piled "No." and Drake allowed blmsto
go. About twenty minutes OF half
an hour after, as Judge Drake was
standing by the counter in the
Sherman house lobby: sPsssss hor.
preached Drake, drew revolver and
said, You must apologize" Drake. who
had been confined to his bed for some
days up till Tuesday evening last,
realizing his danger. met his antagonist
with bravery. seldom witnessed. he
sprang upon spence and seized his right
arm with his left hand, wrenched his
revolver away from him and struck him
q blow with it on the forehead, Telling
him to the floor. Drake deserves much
credit for his GOODNESS under the muzzle
of q loaded revolver. Public sentiment
is with Drake, Spence having shown
himself q coward. Drake was unarmed
but has faculty OF defending himself
promptly when attacked. Spence's in.
juries are but slight, and the public
idea seems to be that Drake wouldshave
been perfectly justified in shooting
Spence when he got the revolver away
from him. Nothing Judge Drake hal
said or done could in any manner justif,
Spence in making the cowardlY attach
he has made upon Drake.

Governor Pierce on Blaine.

Governor Pierce on Blaine.
At recent political gathering in Bis.
marck, Governor Pierce spoke as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, did not know that was
going to interrupt the meeting IN this
manner. It is very kind of you to cali
upon me, but realize that you have i'm
portant business to transact. and your
time is precious. l Imay say this, how
ever, that you ought to be proud lot of
republicans tonight (applause). The
news which came over the wires to us
last night was calculated to make every
republican in Dakota rejoice (applause).
The result of the election IN Ohio prac.
tically settles the presidential question.
Indeed it looks az if after all of its tur-
moil and trouble, the democratic party
at last must go. I was in Cincinnati in
1876 and heard that powerful and won-
derful nominating speech of Robt. G.
Ingersoll, and when he spoke of the
magnificent audacity of James g. Blaine
when he marched down the halls of the
United States congress and hurled his
shining lance full and fair in the face of
the deiamers of his country and the
maligners of his honor-that leader of
leaders, that prince Of parliamentarians,
shout went up in that great build.
ing which made it tremble to its very
foundations. And now We have seen
that audacity brought out lin all it's
grandeur and power. Mr.. Blaine has
been his own rival-I may say he has
beaten his own record. I happen to
know that about q month ago there was
the greatest anxiety about the result in
Ohio. Logan was asked to take the
stump and consented; Blaine was asked
and went. OF course the democrats
said it was bad politics. They pointed
to Henry Clay, who went three times
into the national convention and was
each time defeated; and that all presi-
Dental candidates who had taken the
field in their own behalf had been de.
feated; and that history was going to re.
i peat itself-that fate was against us
But. gentlemen, they say that God loves
a brave man, and if he does, Mr.. Blaine
is surely deep in his affections. Artemul
Ward said that when death faced him
he faced death and outfaced it. Mr.
Blaine has kicked precedents down
stairs, shook his fist in the face of des
tiny, and fairly Rrappied the throat ol
superstition. The result in Ohio to-day
is the result OF the labors of James G
Blaine and John A.. Logan (applause)
and whatever our democratic friendl
may think Of Mr.. Blaine, no American
can fail to admire such leadership rs this
