THE GREAT WEST.
Some Things About Dakota, and It's
Resources.

To the Standard:
have now been two months in
this place, hardly long enough to
form correct idea .of the country
and people. l can say truly that
these two months have been spent as
pleasantly as any part of my life.
True, we have endured some hard
ships incident to the change, (some
would call it pioneer life-I do not)
but the freedom from the frivolities
of fashion and the formalities of aris-
tocratic life common to the old towns,
all have combined to render us per-
fectly delighted with the country.
For quarter of the money you
have you can purchase all the land
you want to cultivate. The remain
der, if any, you can loan on land and
mortgage at good interest. The eli
mate here is healthy and invigora-
ting; the soil good, with sufficient
water to water most of the farms.
Plenty of building material can be
found in the timber skirting the
streams; and the prospect for the I'LL
innate opening of the land in this
section to ready market, through
several lines in competition, is very
flattering. At present, however, the
nearest station is distant about %
miles.
If any of your readers should con-
clude to come West, they will have
to rough it little while; but the
neighbors will all turn out to help in
getting up the log house, after which
they will be at home under their own
''vine and fig tree" 1t would no
doubt seem little odd at first for a
fashionable family of six or eight to
occupy one room with wolf and deer
skins for quilts and coverlets; but
bye and bye when the young ladies
find that they are in just as good
style as anybody, they will dismiss
their fastidiousness and think it jolly
fun. These privations we now en-
dure are necessary, perhaps, to enable
us to appreciate the fine houses which
we will have in the sweet bye and
bye. Suppose you suggest to.some OF
the young men to come and try the
wild West a little while? | would

NOW FOR VICTORY.
From the Independence Sentine

FTOu Tue independence Seutluel.l
The democratic party in this district
is now firmly reunited. The old fac
tional war of the past is dead and peace
is declared. And let us hope it will be
a lasting peace. During the congress
ional canvas which eliminated yester-
day in the nomination of Hon. John F.
Philips, the idea of manism has been
cast aside; and the convention me- yes
terday not to select some pet of a fac
ton, not to ride down with boots and
spurs a rival party, but to select a dem
Ocrat to carry the party colors through
the campaign now opened.
Delegates did not go there with
knives up their sleeves for the purpose
of Staying if they could not win. but
each carried an olive branch, and de-
clared for peace and unity.
AS democrats OF the Olden time they
met, discussed the greater men of their
| party and chose from out their ranks
| the one they deemed most fit and most
deserving. Upon the brows of Judge
John F. Philips the mark of selection
was laid, and he,% accepting the honor,
responding to the call, consented as a
democrat should consent to carry his
party's standard and lead his party tC
victory.
The effect will not be felt alone il
the congressional race. 1t will extenC
TO the county tickets, and aid signal,
in their election.
Now let the party take up its line o
march. Let there be no desertion, II,
struggling, no faltering. In a long
serried, unbrOken column let the host
move forward and do valiant battle i
the cause of democracy and good GOV
eminent. And when the battle of tn
ballots is fought see to it that ever
name on the ticket from Brace down t
the township constable has the fiji
support of the party.

DEMOCRATIC CONCORD.
From the Cincinnati, ENQUIRER.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Commenting favorably upon the
democratic platforms of both Ohio aud
Pennsylvania, some of II eastern
friends call attention to the similarity
of views between them, as if that
were a thing to be surprised at. Is it
then so strange that democrats should
think alike? Is it so strange that two
democratic conventions, sitting some
five hundred Mi!es apart, should upon
the same day declare similar political
principles? Perhaps it may seem so,
for the party has of late years been
sadly divided among itself. But that
We fancy has passed away. We are
together again, under good leadership,
disciplined by adversely, learned as to
the folly OF pursuing strange paths,
fully informed as TO the wisdom of
unanimous and earnest support of prin-
cipies that have never changed, and
which are as great a glory to the coun-
try rs the democratic party.

THE wIsEST THING TO DO.

The nomination of Judge John F.
Philips tor congress by the democrats
most discreet thing they could have
done. To begin with, he is the ablest
man in the district, or, for that mat
ter, i'll the state. If there is such a
thing as being too honest, Judge
Philips is afflicted with that disorder,
one of which the people are not likely
to complain. He has had long exper-
fence in pubic affairs, both as a con-
gresham and as a jurist He will be
triumphantly elected and will be a
credit to the state Of his nativity and
to the district which has honored itself
in honorIng him.

THE GAIN OF A CONGRESSMAN.

The nomination of Judge John F..

hind him in the fifth district, means a
democratic gain of a congressman. A
man OF great ability and eloquent as a
speaker, he will undoubtedly redeem
the district lost in the last election only

THE NOMINATION.

From the Kansas City Times, Aug. 2G.l
The democratic congressional conven-
ton of the Fifth Missouri district met
in this yesterday and selected as lis
candidate Hon. John f. Philips The
work of the convention was quickly
and tremendously accomplished, no
other candidate being presented, and
the nomination of Judge Philips wa,
made by acclamatiOn. The nominee
has held many high positions OF public
trust and has discharged all of them in
so worthy a manner hat fe men in
Missouri are more widely and favora-
bly, known. He has had experience al
ready in the halls OF congress.
The absence of disturbing elements
! in the convention is an omen of success.

AT the close of the proceedings
Judge Philips was escorted to the plat
form by a committee appointed to wait
on him and inform him of his nOmina-

replete with patriotic sentiments, well
chosen words, and neatly formed sen-
fences. Judge Philips is an effective
speaker and will make a lively and
spirited OF the district. The
democrats have acted wisely in the
selection of their county and congress
slonal tickets, and there seems to be
nothing in the way of a glorious
triumph at the polls in November.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The congressional convention of the
Fifth district of Missouri was held at
the new Turner Hall, Kansas City,
Wednesday, August %, 1886, at 2:4o
p. m.
The convention was called to order
BY Hon. e. F. Ballingall, who brify
explained it's object to be the nomina-
ton of a democratic candidate for con-
qress and a new congressional COM
mittee.
Mr.. w. r. Bernard, of Jackson coun-
ty, nominated for temporary chairman,
Mr.. c. c. Tevis, of johnson county.
Mr.. Tevis was unanimously elected, land
taking the stand made a brief speech In
which he thanked the convention for
the honor conferred upon him. He
said that the convention had an impor-
tant work to do. 1t had to determine
whether the Fifth district was to be
represented in congress by a democrat
or a republican. 1t had to determine
whether tho old breach in the demo
cratic party should be healed. There
was no reason why there should be any
dispute or dissension, especially in the
matter of locality. johnson county
recognized the overwhelming influence
of Kansas City, and was willing to
concede the nomination to y jackson
county man. [Applause. All that
johnson county asked was to give her
a strong nomination, which would ca
able her to give an increased demo-
cratic majority. [Applause.
Judge c. Nj. Ingraham, OF Kansas
City, was elected temporary secretary.
On motion OF Hon. Joseph Mercer,
of Independence, a committee on Gre
dentials was dispensed with, and the

Times being rather hard, we are goin g

and we will give our readers little vaca-

have had to leave out on this account is
Bill Jones' ad. about farm for sale, but
that is of no consequence, as he hasn't

white paper is too blamed dear to fool it
