The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1884-11-20

New York buried themselves in the hell
hole of ignominy they carried down with
them the thousands and thousands OF 10y
alsts in the states of Iowa and Dakota,
and now that thay have thrown slap into
our faces the challenge, the better element
of the republican party will recuperate
their wavering policies and crush the ia
natics with their mighty force. The pro-
hbitionists were entirely too fresh. They
have proven themselves characters of the
worst stripe of Benedict Arnold, and
have used the knife with malicious Wis
ciousness in the temporary downfall Of
the republican party Let the republican
party now take up the gauntlet in selt-de-
tense and place the gang where they be-
long, in the ranks of the democracy.
They were purchased body and soul by the
national democracy to kill republcanism,
and it is now the duty of all true republi-
cans to stand hand to hand, and with the
old flag Haunting Loyalty march on to vic
tory in 'SS, untramelled with the move
ment that murdered them last week. The
leaders of the prohibition question were
we'll aware that the same could not be
made a national question, and also knew
that they were imperiling the success of
their only friend, the republican party in
blindly booming fanaticism. Their in
tention is now evident. John B. Finch,
chairman OF the national prohibition COM
mittec, is rank copperhead: and was
simply using as cheap tools the blind zeal
of the prohibitionsts in order to kill both
prohibition and republicanism. They
have been successful in one thing They
have shown to the republican party who
are it's friends and who are its enemies.
The republican body is now cleansed from
the carbuncles of stalwartlsm, eetrade-
ism, factionalism and prohibition and
in years to come will look back upon the
defeat of 'S4 as a necessity tor her future
success.
The republicans will now let prohibition
severely alone. Their true love, democra-
cy, will hereafter legislate for their ad-
vancemcnt-into obscurity AS nation
al question let it die beyond retrench-
ment. As state issue let it find its own
followers Let it die

The political complexion of the terrific
rial legislature will consist oftwenty-two re-
publicans, one democrat and one inde-

four republicans and four democrats in the
house. Several contests will come up tor

be the result.

stigmatizing them in late issue as mob
of drunken republicans. Well, Brother
Nash, it is rather hard to be classed along
with the losers in national contest, but
a better way to flop is open than by at
tacking leading republican. Become a
democrat for revenue only But ..here
an objection arises. Before becoming an
honorary member of democracy the con-
sent of that organization must be secured,
and in the face of circumstances there is
but one plan left for our Jealous contem-
porary to pursue-become full-Aedged
mugwump or sainUohn crank. This is
far worse than democracy, giving chance
to disclose suicidal Eanaticism instead of
false reform doctrine.

A reminder OF the majority is all that
is necessary to call attention to the terri
torial popularity Of Delegate-elect Clifford.
While urging admission before the demo.
cratic congress it is hoped thatno mention
will be made of Dakota's republicanism
as the democrats feel inclined to make
this party issue. For the love of-ad
mission don't allude to the 10000 repub

tell them there are 10000 democratic vo
te;s who demand division and admission

One day they were sitting together on

Of one fore paw driven into

he instantly seized In his huge mouth. |

with a tree. Stunned and insensible,
lay some seconds on the ground, and the

not worry me, but, passing over me, went
for the refreshing police constable, who
had brought me into the difficulty.

head from the ground, leaning my fore
head against tree, and smiling With a
certain feeling Of grim satisfaction, when
my eye caught the retreating form Of the
constable and the pursuing panther down

turn had come. The civil surgeon Of the
station probed the teeth wounds in the
arm, and found stthe back Of the arm they
ran right to the boue and were an inoh

inner side, 10 or close to the biceps, were,
one an inch and quarter and the other
an inch deep. The claw wounds on the
right shoulder were not serious, and had
fortunately just missed the large artery
near the cOllar-boue, injury TO which
would have resulted in my bleeding to
