4 Plague OF "Canadn Soldiers" In
the City OF Cleveland.
lCleyeland Cor. Chicago Tribune.I

l(leNelduu OOT SulcdSO lTibutlr.I
The people of this city have learned
this season to sympathize with Pharaoh.
1t has had a plague of insects called
Canada soldiers, and 1t is the general
opinion that if the hard hearted monarch
mad first been plagued with Canada soldiers
he would have permitted the children OF
Israel to 70 without further parley
Writers tell us that in some parts of
France these insects are so thick rs
to obscure the sun. They are seen
along the Ohio river and are common to
the lake cities, but travellers who have
been here this season declare that they
never saw anything to approach the
swarms of these May flies or day flies. as
Pliny and Aristotle call them.
The naturalist tells us how the insects
deposit their larve on the water as they
| fy over il. going ashore like wild sailors
on a night of debauchery; how the grubs
burrow for three years in the soft mud of
the lakes bottom; how in rising TO the
surface of the water they are meta
morphosed from wiggler to II
nerve winged insect SO suddenly
that if one tries TO grasp wiggler as il
rises to the surface he will lin Il full
tledgcd soldier in his hand ; how they
undergo second change when ashore
by shedding their coats. and how they kill
themselves in twelve short hours with
bliss. Poets have written of the insects
that are born, fall in love. marry. get
drupk on light, and die. all inside of
twelve hours; but no naturalist would
have the heart or poets the stomach to
write of them in anything but invective if
he should attempt to wade through the
stacks of them lying on the sidewalk in
front of his restaurant, where they give
up a sickening stencil that turns away the
| customers.
From three to five bushels night of
these wriggling insects are swept away
from the dc ors of restaurants and stores
using electric lights. and they swarm in
the globes of the eleciric-light mast 200
feet in the air. so thickly as to put out the
light A few nights ago when Congress
man Foran was speaking to the multitude
gathered to welcome him home and
soldiers. some wag asked: "liow about the
Canada soldiers" The congressman
was fighting away swarms of them about
his head. and before he had finished
his short speech they had filled the gas jet
globes put out half the lights. and the
odor of their burning bodies was too often
sivc to be endured The other evening a
strong breeze blew the pests off the lake
and they fell broadcast on every inch of
the city. Go where one might. the sicken-
ing crHnch of their hodics under his boots
made walking offensive to the pedestrian.
1t wonld be Il low estimate indeed to say
that l 900 bushels of these wretchcd insects
lay rafting in Cleveland. They never bite
but their laziness aud familiarity in the
nonchalance with which they stand still
to bo killed makes them more to he de
spised than the saucy musqui;o. They
cannot eat nor do much of anything eX-
cept get drunk on light and die.

THE YANKTON CON-
VENTION.
Carried by Bribery, Per
jury and Corrup-
ton.

One of the most shameful and out
rageous proceedings that ever charac-
terized political convention in Da-
kota Territory occurred in the district
convention held at Yankton this week.
A boiling delegation from the regular
republican convention, headed by
Parker politician, was admitted to carry
out scheme by which Yankton fac
tion should get control of the entire
representation of Yankton, Turner and
Hutchinson counties in the next legis-
lature, the scheme being manipulated
by Yankton politician and lawyer, as
sisted by S. V. Jones, lawyer and poll
tician from Parker. A portion of the
Hutchinson county delegation had to
be kept up to the mark by the free use
Of bulge and oyster suppers. A mass
of lying atfidavits was introduced to
sustain the action Of the boiling faction,
but they all failed to show majority
for the soreheads and they had to re-
sort to something new in political tao
tics--the DISTINGUISHING a precinct be
cause certain newspaper in the coun-
ty had left out precinct in setting up
the call.
This neao departure in politics was
forced through the convention by the
two legal gentlemen and all debate cut
off. How is this doctrine going to work
in future conventions? Supposing the
call for the convention had left out
Parker with thirteen votes instead OF
Daneville with five votes, would Par.
ker have been entitled to vote on the
temporary organization? Uuder the
action of the Yankton convention
decidedly not. Now suppose, in the
future, in making up call for con
vention 1t is intended to exclude some
precinct from participation in the pre-
liminary organization of the conven
ton, all that has to be done is to leav,
them out of the call and thus disfraa
chise them on the temporary organizn
tion and give the convention to mi
nority, as was claimed and allowed il
Yankton yesterday. This is dan
gerous power; but like two-edge'
sword it win cut both ways. This ma,
be victory for Parker but it deprive
Turner county of all representation il
the council and places on the ticket tw
men, no matter what their persona
character may be, who will be only puI
pets in the hands of the Yankton fat
r ton, and Turner county with its on
, thousand republican majority, if thi
ticket is elected is again consigned to
back seat, and Yankton with it's tw
hundred republican majority gets tn
kernel while Turner, rs usual, gets onl
l the shell.

A Few Facts.

Hurley, Dakota, Oct. 20, 1SS4-Editor
Herald-Why is it that the Parker New
Era and Marion Sentinel follow SO
closely in one another's tracks, in print
ing what they claim to he u true report
of our late republican county conven-
their statements were put up from the
same copy by their gross falseness,
which is merely put before the people
for an effect.
In the first place they claim that Mr..
Elliott did not arise to make the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Allen as temporary chair
man until Mr.. Jones was nearly
through, which emphatically declare
to be false, but that the two gentlemen
arose ut precisely or very nearly the
same time. Mr.. Elliott was recognized
strictly on parliamentary rules. viz: in
making his nomination he first address,
ed the chair before making his motion.
while Mr.. Jones utterly ignored the
chair in making his motion. Messrs.
UM.!itt and Hackett also claim that
Mr.. y lien put and declared carried the
same motion, electing himself tempo
rary chairman. viii the two gentle
men please give their authority for
that base and doubly false assertion.
If put under oath can positively assert
that | heard Mr.. Elliott put that same
motion myself. And why don't they
herald 1T through their villainous sheets
that Mr.. Jones and his gang remained
and recognized Mr.. Allen as temporary
chairman long enough to vote on y
motion for an adjournment, which was
made by a Hurley delegate, and which
they opposed? There is the pinch, be-
cause it would not look well in print
for their side of the case. Finding the
vote to stand 26 for, and 21 against, Mr..
Jones became satisfied that his side
was in the minority, upon which he
cries out: Z" All fair minded republicans
who are in favor of a peoples conven-
ton follow me!' which they did, the
whole 81 of them. You can imagine
they looked sick enough, as some of
the boilers had made their bragS the
day before, and even offered to wager
that the convention would be captured
by the so-called Parker .. If Mr.
Jones desires any further evidence rs
to his remarks before leaving the con,
vention, atlidavlts will be furnished tC
the number of fifty or more.
Now, Mr.. Editor, am satisfied that
the bolt was not made under the i'm.
pulse Of the moment but was apremedi
tated affair as well as that Centrevillt
double-header; because a certain attor
ney Of Parker who boasts of no small
influence, made bold enough to say that
he was the cause of that bolt. WheI
asked how that was, he replied: a
told Jones if he was agolng to bolt now
was the time.'
The statement made by the Era ant
its followers to the effect that Mr.
Allen said he was chairman and should
hold the position, is another base lie.
Respectfully,
-S--Ess r.. BRAUCU.< &
