1t is q bad sign when railroad attorneys and
agents are about the most active supporters of

That's just what we've been eontending, and
We might rest our whole case on that, SO far as
can be seen, Mr.. Stones main supporters in
this county are r. R. attorneys and their jump

Our devil is getting to have a burning notion
to be an editor some day. He has been looking
over the Bates County Democrat, and finds five
small articles-common-p -place-devoted to
Judge Parkinson, and l3, most big bulging
articles, favorable to Mr.. Stone. Judge P.
gets the benefit Of 50 lines, and Mr.. s. IA lines.
Well, this is but an incident. Bro. Wade is for
Parkinson. We heard him say so.
Bro. Wade ofthe Bates County Democrat, is
Judge Parkinson's first choice for advocating
his aspiration for congress, yet Bro. Wade, as
chairman Of the executive committee, puts on
the calling Of the convention, presumably to
enable "second-choice" Stone to come and fix
up his fences. This congressional district is
one of the largest in the union, and while many
Of the others have been called, we are yet wait
ing on the man whose first-second choice ID
MT. Stone before the democracy can know how
many delegates are to be chosen. There is
| much complaint on this score. It leaves the
party all at sea.
Some anti-StoHe men in the north part of the
district have sent us large bundle Of Mr.
stones speeches on the arbitration bill. W.
propose to use them where they will do the
most good, and that is into the hands of demo.

BUTLER, Mo-, July II, 1886.
Editors Rich Hill Mining Review.
The latest political scheme that
has been brought to light at this point
to control the vote and influence OF .
the young democracy as well as the
patriarchs, fathers OF the deluded
ones, in the Congressional race, is
the following:
When the Eutler and kinkaid |
branch of the Mo. Pacific road was
made mail route, Aubrey Ewing
was appointed route agent at the
solicitation. it is said, OF Coils. Pace
and Wade, to get him out of the
way of Joe Brashear IN the race for
County Clerk.
The work of the route agent is to
leave Butler about 10 O'Clock a. m.,
making the points, Foster, Pleasan-
ton, Mound City and Kinkald, and
returning at o'clock p. M. a dis
tance OF about 65 miles, with pres.
ent salary OF $40 per month. Now
comes in the scheme TO capture the
boys in the interest of-Parklnson( y
of course. 1t is this: The work of
route agent Ewing is presented to
the postofiice department as being
very onerous, requiring an assistant,
and Messrs. Wade, Pace & Co.
have requested about a score of
young democrats, scattered over the
county, to make an application for
this "soft" government positl on.
Among those who have been thus
drawn into this political net to fur
nish the necessary meat to be devour-
ed by the Wade combination on the
18th OF August, are the following !:
Ed Mcdonald, of How ard Tp.,
young Jackson, son of Andy Jack
son, of Prairie Tp. Joe Brashear, of
Butler; VIM. Ewing, OF Walnut

The estimates of Prof. Dodge, the

pleted, aud the aggregate bushels are as
follows: Corn, 1886, OOO, 1000; wheat,
PSI, 900, 900; oats, 629, 600 900. The area
Of corn is $4,000, 900 acres; of wheat, 3d..
100000; Of oats, 23,0OO,OOO. The value
Of corn averaged nearly SO cents per
bush-l, and makes an aggregate Of
$685.. 0O0, 600 600 less than the
value Of the last crop. The decrease in
the product 0: wheat is 80 per cent, and
only II per cent in valuation, which is
$272,0O0,0O0. The valuation of oats is
$~lsO,OOo,0O0. The reduction in wheat
is mostly IN the valleys Of the Ohio and

HoN JOHN g. RAYMOND.

The death of Hon. John B. Raymond
is a sad blow to Dakota. No man III
the Territory had more or warmer
friends than he, or occupied a higher
place in the esteem of prominent per-
sonages in Washington. Judge Holman,
who has so long served the people Of
Indiana, and himself an honest and con-
scientiOus man, assured the writer.
when IN this city last summer, that Da-
kota never sent to Washington a truer
Or more upright man than Mr.. Roy
mond. The Judges language was even
stronger than this. He stated that what
ever Mr.. Raymond demanded for Dakota
congress would give it to him, for he
never asked for a wrong thing. 1t was
this honest and manly trait in Mr.. Ray.
mond that defeated him for renomina.
ton in 1884. NV that he is dead the
truth may be written. Had this refer
ence to his standing and integrity been
made during his life, his enemies. the
corrupt gang, would have sent ups howl
of derision. They dare not dispute it
now. The polluting politicians of the
Territory had urged Mr.. Raymond,
while he was our delegate, to assist them
in their jobs and dishonest schemes; he
declined. Hence they combined to
'punish". him for his refusal to act AZ
their dirty tool.
MI. Raymond's death will be deeply
regretted by every lover Of political jus.
tice; by every admirer of men who strive
to do right; by all Dakotans who have
had the courage to hope, and the bravery
to continue to hope, for pure laws and a
clean administration of them.
