Special Letter 10 the Globe.
MILLER, Oak, Feb. l6.-George c.
Crosse, who has become so prominent in
the past two years. is a resident of our
neighboring county, and it may not be
diScourteOuS 10 ask whether he is Re-
publican, Democrat, Mugwump, or any
thing to get Office or position. 1t is well
known that his brother, Dayton NJ.
Crosse, is an ardent Democrat, and also
other neighbOrS, relatives and friends
that came with them from SchoClcraft,
Mich.
inaSmuch as Mr.. Crosse is troubled with
the congressional bee, buZZing contin-
ually in his ears, and being overloaded
with honorS and positions thrust upon
him by the dear people, it would not at
all be out of order for him to step into
the Democratic camp-nOw that the
party Is likely TO gain aScendency in the
territOry--if this was his faith before
the Dakota climate affected him. There
are so many instances of this kind that
it is not unlikely that Mr.. Crosse is really
at heart a Democrat.
-
Hand county will hereafter be as I'M
certain politically as it has been SOlidly
Republican.
The ProhibitiOnists are largely in
the majority here and have won every
contest SO far. 1t has taken much hard
work to prevent them from breaking
from the Republican ranks, but they
are dIsguSted with broken promises. and
at the next election will either win the
victory or give the country over to the
Democracy.
-
Four years ago there were not
dozen pronounced Democrats in this
large county, and to-day they are nearly
or quite in the majority. AT the last
general election they captured the
the balance of the ticket. We state
this merely to show that there is a good
prospect that in short time Dakota
will be Democratic. Some of the most
prominent Republicans are pronounced
free-traders, and would vote for Cleye-
land gladly if an opportunity was af-
forded.
The editor of the Pioneer supplement
is still alluded to here, and all through
this part of Dakota. as the Northern
racine governor. The veto OF the bill
removing the capital TO Pierre was
severe blow to this section, and if he
gets what he is fishing for, viz: a NOM
ination to any Office, thousands of dis
gusted Republicans will use their veto,
and inform him that Chicago is a health
Ter place for all such Office hunters. He
cali never get any help from the vast
section of country west of Huron. They
have no use for him, and only make
sport OF his editorial utteranceS. He's
a dead duck
The prohibition law fails to do its
work here. 1t is true it has closed
the liquor saloons, but the same men
are running temperance restaurants
and drunken men are as numerous as
before. The county is without the use
of five or six thousand dollars and no
good accomplished. A high license
law similar to that of Minnesota, is
what we need.

The reports of the great blizzard of
Jan. 18th were far from being true
Much suffering was occaSiOned, but the
loss of life was not as bad as reported.
Glad to see the GLOBE giving the truth
of the matter
