Blaine Scores the Democratic Party
the Non-Admission of Dafots.
SKowHEGAN( Me- j. September 3d.-BIaine
addressed q Republican mass meeting here
to-day, said by old residents to have been
the largest ever held in the county of Som
erset. He commented with severity upon
the refusal of the Democratic party to ad-
nit Dakota to the Union, the exclusion of
half million white people in the North
from the benefits of representation in Con-
greSs and in the Electoral College, to-
gether with the practical elimination
of six million colored people in the South
from the body polite. This constituted the
process by which the Democratic minority
was to rule over the Republican msiority
in the nation. The Democrats had long
dreaded the growth of the free Northwest,
and were determined, it appears, by their
treatment of Dakota, to obstruct and
hinder the admission of that magnificent
Gordon of States, which stretches along our
northern border beyond the Rocky noun
tains and to the shore of the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, September 3d.-Thomas B.
Hartzell, of Los Angeles applied to the

sustained the decision of Sparks, deciding
that the petitioner had exhausted his right
of pre-emption, and to take advantage Of
the Act authorizing additional entry, the
land he already owns must have been
acquired by purchase, or in some other
way than by entry.
