POLITICAL POINTS,

Speaker Carlisle is advertised 10 deliver
in every Congressional district in Iowa a
tariff speech especially prepared for the
occasion. lie is now ut work upon it..
Senator Congor enters at once into the
canvass in Michigan, and will continue
speaking until election day. His reported
resignation from the Senate has no founda-
ton in fact. &. .g8 u.s.
The Republicans have made strong
nomination for Congress in the Second
Wisconsin District and will try and defeat
General Bragg's unpopularity and by a
revolt against him among the Irish and
German voters. alS F@S
Mr.. John G. Thompson is represented
in an interview published in the New
York Star as feeling satisfied that Blaine
will carry Ohio. He claims that the Demo-
Gratis have found it impossible to awaken
any enthusiasm in the State for Cleveland.
There appears 10 be as much enthus-
iasm for Blaine and Logan in Oregon as in
other States nearer the political centre.
The campaign was opened in Portland a
few days ago with large meeting and
with speeches from Senator Dolph, Con-
gresham George and others.
The Boston boilers have invited the
Harvard students to join in the Demo-
cratic torchlight procession and held out
MS IN inducement the hope that "the per-
sonnet OF the Cleveland procession will be
very different from that OF the Democratic
professions in the past.
Tho two Republican candidates for Con-
gress in the Third Chicago district, have
agreed to submit the claim rs to which is
the regular nominee to committee COM
posed OF two members OF the National
Committee and two members of the Ma
tional Congressional Committee and they
are to select fifth member. =

absolutely injurious TO the stomach and

Democracy mud Education In West Virginia.
A fifth OF the population Of this great
progressive country is illiterate-cannot
reod and write. Over six millions over
ten years ofage, about equally divided be-
tween white and colored, cannot write.
There are two millions Of.v0ters who can't
read their ballots-a mass OF Ignorance,
great enough to determine any election, to
decide any question Of National policy.
Z This is u fifth OF the voting population.
In West Virginia there are 750O0white
{ and $4,000 colored persons over ten years
Of age who cannot write. We have in this
State, over twenty-one years Of age, $4,000
white and 1900 coored persons who can
not write. Assuming something less than
half Of these to be voters, there is de-
velopel the startling fact that nearly n
fourth OF our votingpopulation is illiterate
placing West Virginia beyond the
general average OF illiteracy. Worst Of
all the average is not coming down.
~ How long can the Republic endure with
Z this dead weight upon it? The States
which make the worst showing arc doing
the least to improve their condition. The
last comparative report on education in
the States, prepared by The Commissioner
OF Education, (1sso) puts the average
school year i'll West Virginia at ninety
nine days. OF population Of school age
reaching 2l0,ll3, only 1l2,s50 were en-
rolled, and the average daily attendance
was but 81, 704-less than half the school
population at school iora little over three
months in the year!
! January 81, 1854, Senator Blair, Re-
publican, reported bill "To aid in the
establishment and temporary support OF
common schools" With poetic appro-
priateness the bill came from the Commit
tee on Education and Labor. This bill
+, would have given to the Southern States
S5S,lS7,l57, and West Virginia's share
would have been Sl,Ol3,3ol. In April
this bill passed the Senate, April it
reached the Democratic House. The
House did not SO much MS refer the bill to
u committee. The bill lay on the Speak
er's table for threee months less one day,
until the House adjourned, having refused
to consider it though there was a rain
storm OF petitions. -
The Democratic platform declares
against National aid for free schools.
Under the Blair bill West virginias share
would have been apportioned among the
Congressional districts MS follows:

THE DEFEAT OF RAYMOND.

The telegraph brings the news from
Pierre that John B. Raymond has been
most ingloriously defeated aud the prIn-
cipal csuse OF auch result is not 10 be
found in any derellction of duty on his
part W lille in congress the last two years
for he has been a conscientious and con-
sistent representative of the whole Of Da-
kota. Neither 10 the cause Of his defeat
to be found IN want of ability on hls part
for he obtained more for the territory
than any of his predecessors. Nor IS it
found 10 any want of confidence in his
integrity for even his most bitter enemies
never assailed him on that point. The
cause that led to this unhappy result to
his canvass and seemingly ungrateful at
titude of his constituents must be laid at
the door Of his STOOL friends" and if
there ever was . man 50 situated that he
could from the bottom of his heart pray
to DO "delivered from the hands Of his
friends" that man was John B. Raymond.
They were the first TO raise the tOma-
hawk In the campaign and arouse every
latent spirit of antagonism into open re-
bellion against him, much of which would
have lain dormant and inactive through
out the campaign but for these self-ap.
pointed truncheon flourishers whose
zeal was without judgment and
whose honesty may we'll be questioned.
With the battle cry Of "Down with South
Daketa-A Solid North Dakota they
rushed madly through the campaign and
county conventions at hone, but when
they arrived upon the battle ground at
Pierre they dumb as oysters, with the ex
cep,ion of Hon. Johnson Nickeus, of this
county, the only man of Raymond.s for
ces from North Dakota that has been
heard Of. He made most gallant and
heroic fight and il Mr.. Raymond had
been supported with like valor and v,gor
as that shown by Mr.. Nlckeus in oil his
forces his candidacy would have been in
vlnciblo and he would have been tn-
umphantly nominated Instead Of being
lnglorlously defeated While tho true
friends Of Mr.. Raymond will deeply re-
gret his defeat there as vet appears upon
the surface no reason for resentment to.

The Grand Forks Herald takes phile-
sophlcal view of the situation since the
Pierre convention. 1t says that Mr.. Ray
mond is still our delegate to congress and
will be through the coming winter session
aud that he will renew his efforts for d..
vision with good prospect fer success, the
presidential question being out OF the way
and with division and admission Of the
southern part South Dakota will have no
use for their delegate. This is q self-evi'
dent proposition, and in the event OF d.
v,sien North Dakota will have the amuse-
ment Of electlng delegate to congress
next year in the person Of John B. Ray
mond or some one else. In view of the
strong probability Of success in the div's-
ion scheme aspirants forithe delegateship
would better keep their lightning rods up
and tho points we'll FURNISHED, for pol'ti-
cal lightning, like death. loves shining
mark. Mr.. Raymond will have new iu-
centive for working for division, II there
ever has been any apathy on his part In
the measure, and If our warning factions
will stay away from Washington this win
ter he may accomplish something in this
direction. The custo MOT sending dele
cations Of lobbyists to Washington every
session OF congress, as If We had NO legal
ly authorized representative there, or had
no confidence IN our representative, has
been detrimental to our interests ana sucn
. course always will be so. Mr.. Raymond
yet has the opportunity to do much for
the territory as its delegate in congress
and make the close Of his record IS 'ucD
the brightest part of it, and he may ye'
redeem himself in the estimation oil nls
enemies who now severely critlcise him
- they think justly.
