Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1886-06-11

The Chicago Inter-Ocean is well
known as one of the most stalwart of
stalwart republican newspapers. Such
being the case, it is hardly to be eX-
pected to go far out of its way to be-
stow praise upon democratic leaders;
and the following handsome compli-
ment to Postmaster General Villas on
his memorial address, is therefore,
deserving of special notice:
I'm its way the Grant banquet OF
Chicago was absolutely Incompatible.
It's wealth of patriotic eloquence was
never equaled in one evening. There
were orators of national reputation
present who fully sustained their we'll
earned regulations. There was also
present one young man with whose
name the eddying wings of fame had
never toved. but from that time on the
country has known Col. Villas. When
ever he has spoken the public has
| listened attentively, hoping to catch at
least a suggestion of the enhancing
eloquence Of that banquet hall AT
last that hope has been realized. The
Music Hall Grafton of Monday evening
was an even grander flight than the
maiden efforts at Chicago, at once
reaching loftier heights and profoundeT
depths. The great orator is fellc-
itous blending of poet and philosopher
He can soar and touch the highest
peak of beautiful imagery, and can
[ penetrate to the neither depths of
rational contemplation. Col. Villas
graced his tribute to Grant with a
wealth of rhetoric, yet never once sac
rificed thought to expression or lost
sight of the general purpose of the
discourse. With Il masters hand 1t
portrayed Grant, not upon blank
background Of cloth and pigment, but
as the central figure in the nationa
landscape, seen from the patriotic
point Of view

he is that kind of a leader.

For Councilman.

The time when the legislative convention for
the 18th district will be called, is approaching,
and it stands the people Of the district we'll in
hand to cast their eyes about with the view OF
selecting the man whose qualifications will
enable him to serve them as councilman in
the next legislature. What the people want is
not political demagogue or professional
wire-puller," but a representative business man
Of unquestionable integrity and ability-a man
Of good common sense, who is beyond the
wiles Of lobbyists and hired emmisaries Of cor
rupt organizations. Such man is w. H.
Robinson, Esq, Of Mayville. The Tribune,
speaking for the people of Trail, names him
emphatically as the most desirable person that
can be mentioned for the position. He is un-
questionably the only man in the whole district
upon whom all factions would unite. The
fact that the HOPE PIONEER, speaking in be-
half Of the people Of Steele county, the Coop
erstown Courier, speaking for Griggs, having
cordially expressed their preference for Mr..
Robinson, which expression is also seconded
by the Hillsboro Banner and the Traill Count,
Times, speaking for eastern Trail, indicates
that MIR. Robinson is decidedly preferred by ths
people Of the district -Maypitk Tribune.

The Great N. r. Land Sale.

The recent sale made by the Northern Pa
ciic Railroad company of all their lands in
Dakota east Of the Missouri river, presumed to
be AGO. 900 acres, is the result Of negotiation
which began over six or eight years ago. The
sale is to syndicate Of capitalists, some Of
whom have handled successfully many thous-
ands of acres Of Western lands. The syndicate
agrees to open up these lands to settlement, to
send agents abroad to induce small colonies
from different parts Of Europe to settle on these
properties The syndicate will build houses
and break up small tracts of land on the dif-
ferent sections, and offer many inducements
that the railroad company could not do.
They will build branch roads to connect with
the main line Of the Northern Pacific. Settlers
will also be invited to settle on the even Sec
tions owned by the government, and furnish
aid to such settlers who prefer to enter on the
government lands under the pre-emption act.
In view Of all these pledges made by the syn-
dictate to the railroad company, the latter was
induced to make the sale. The sale is suppos-
ed to retire upwards of S., 100000 Of preferred
stock, which will reduce the entire outstand-
ing stock to some 34,O0O,OO0.
The company still own east Of the Missouri
river in number some 100000 acres. There
have been overtures made by syndicate to
purchase the entire body of land, but from the
fact that many Of the lands contain valuable
timber, the company have declined any offer
for the whole. These lands are also applica-
BILE to retire preferred stock when sold.
The company is now making sales Of irri-
eating lands in the Yakimer section of the
country, and we understand that one or two
large sales have been made to parties who in
tend to carry out system Of irrigation such as
was successfully carried out in Colorado sew
eral wears ago.

The nomination Of Thomas Baker, Jr., for
commissioner, was a. popular move, both in
tho city and the towns comprising the Fifth
district. In the first place, he is clean,
straightforward business man, well Informed
in the affairs Of the county, who can be relied
upon to give the same attention to the public
business that he devotes to his private business.
He is enterprising and broad-ga but at the
same time there will be no extravaganza or
waste Of public funds with his knowledge or
consent-and, as member of the board, he
can be depended upon to know what is going
on, and what use is being made Of the peoples
money. He has never been mixed up in the
old factional fights, and therefore bis election
will be offensive to no one. Finally, Tom is q
whole-souled gentleman, who will always be
found ready to devote his time and talents te
the interest Of the people, and he should bt
given rousing majority. Republican

The appearance Of corps of surveyors on
the river, seeking good crossing for the ex-
tension Of the Manitoba road from Hope in a
northwesterly direction, has caused a small
ripple Of excitement among some Of our citi-
zens. We learn that both the Atchison and
MardeIl crossings have been examined, and
that the surveying party are now in the neigh
borhood Of Romness seeking crossing. An
air of mystery seems to pervade the whole af-
fair, and the true inwardness of this survey is
at present inexplicable. Nevertheless, prom.
inent business man suggested yesterday thai
the matter should be looked into; that If the
Manitoba has serious intentions of invading
the territory Of Griggs county, the citizens OF
Cooperstown should know it; that crossing
at or near Romness would prove serious to the
commercial interests Of our town; that al
though we have no need for an east and west
road, yet we should endeavor to prevent an in
vasion Of our northern territory, and have the
road come to Cooperstown. The gentleman
| suggested that our property owners and bust
| ness men take the matter into consideration
