IT WAS THE YOUNG BLO0DS
Who Engineered the jamestown Con-
vention and Left the Old Gang.
TO LIE ON DUSTY SHELVES.
But the Old Fellows Are So Used to
Being Downed That They Rather
Like II.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dec. 7.-There is wind on the
prairies, the Zephyrs are excited, and
from now until the close of time there
will be statesmen in Dakota whose am
billions will still be unsatisfied. They
have ruled the rooSt so long. and die
tated so often, that it is hard to give up
the ghost. Like that old coat of blue,
it will be blue still, even though all is
gone but the buttons. This James
town convention is sample OF
the clothes worn by the crowd. They
are little superannuated, but still
kicking in the ring, and like Dickens
old boy, Micawber, waiting for
something to ''turn up" Among THESE
brilliant lights are only few who pos
seSS the brains and ability to generate
and carry through scheme, and the
Disease and death. whose hand no man
can stay ARE singing their death song and
will soon deplete the ranks, but the
robust ones still hang Oh like death to a
colored gentleman and, as of old. mean
death or victOry-a good idea for one
who knows he's dead and politically
buried. Now, is it not fact that the
old gang. however potent factor they
may have been at one time, are actually
supplanted by the
YOUNG AND VIGOROUS
middle-aged men of Dakota? Such
would seem to be the fact, yet the old
heads will continue to crop out, and
their sonorous voices be heard even
while the boys are building their funer-
al pile. Respect for age and political
cunning is losing precedence, and the
will of the younger element is being
more and more consulted as the smell
of age and not too Savory fragrance OF
the past political arrangements OF the
old gang are being ventilated. AT this
jamestown convention. OF more properly
conglomeration, there is the spirit of
young Dakota manifested, and the stern
command of sect out, you old incubus,
was the war cry in a marked degree.
Such old manipulators as Edwards. Jud
La Moure and Ward, who will never die
and can stand beng
BEATEN EVERY DAY
in the year and kick because there are
not chances to get annihilated, will, of
course, feel the element which killed
tent the intended blows. La MOure,
and Edwards, with his classic belly,
will work the boys for while; but the
light is at the window, the curtain is
down, but the helpmeet is waiting to
kick the stuffing out of the superan-
nuated political hacks. They are
doomed, and whether they die game or
sit down quietly and rot is only ques-
ton which the future can determine.
To say the least, they are forever rele-
gated to the rear, and
YOUNG DAKOTA,
proud aud strong, stands to the front
unabashed, even in the presence of
their grey-bearded highnesSes. And it is
young Dakota blood that will man the
state when it is born. The schemers
and improbable would-be bosses will
either retire from active political life or
seek appointments at the hands of an
administration which is so nearly of
their ilk that sympathy may touch and
respond.

Watched All the Processes, But

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Dec. mot so very
many years ago company was negoti-
ating for the purchase of promising
group of gold claims in the Southern
Black Hills. They sent to examine and
report on the property man whose
years and experience had rendered him
exceedingly cautious and one difficult
to lead into error. He personally exam
med into the mine. its surroundings and
improvements, and with his own hands
picked over the ore from which the test
was to be made. He went to the mill,
watched the test, figured up the result
and went away rejoicing. He boosted
of the extreme caution with which he
had proceeded, and said he knew he had
not been fooled. The sale was made,
the money paid and the mine failed.
The old professor was honest in his III
tentions, but he probably never
knew, as others here do. the
identity of the man who put Sl95
in gold into the battery while the test
was being made. The old professor
was no worse taken in than were the
parties WIG bought Cldiiii icfi pii'Ci
Cliff. Colorado, with a siXty-tive foot
shaft on it, the bottom being good ore.
When spring came they found they
had shaft about ten feet deep. The
honest miner, who made the sale, had
merely taken advantage OF some fifty
five feet of snow that lay above his
claim, had dug a shaft in it, and neatly
timbered it up. 1t looked all right
until spring came and the snow melted.
OF course such deals as these do not
often occur. 1t often happens that both
the expert and vendor are honestly at
fault, and that large sums are paid for
property in good faith which eventually
prove worthless or almost worthless.

A DEMOCRATIC STATE.

1t is the common assumption, espe-
cially with Republicans and those who
take them as authority, that both the
Dakotas as states would be hopelessly
Republican. Ii it will facilitate their
admission, it would be untimely to dis
tuIb that impression. But it is best for
Democrats in congress and elsewhere
to understand that the facts do not war
rant such conclusion. At the recent
election there were about 5000 more
votes cast for MATHEWS than for HAIR
DEN and BIERLY, the two Democrats in
the field. This, however, does not show
the real Democratic strength. lake
Pembina county, for instance. Two
years ago it gave over 1000 Democratic
majority, while last month it was about
tie. Those familiar with the situation
assert that the change was due to local
differences and the fact that the Demo
Gratis who dislike Gov. CHURCH
voted for the Republican ticket in
order to get in their work on
the governor, as they viewed it.
They were led to believe that HARDEN
was the representative of CHURCH.
That county can give larger Demo
cratic majority than ever when united
in state. Like and other causes oper-
ated in other counties. The Democrats
carried Benson, -Bottineau. Cavalier,
Griggs, Oliver, Stutsman. Rolette,
Towner and Wells and can when they
are united, and the signs are right,
take in Buleigh, Walsh, Richland,
Barnes. Foster, and a number OF others;
many Grand Forks people believing
that it would come into the fold. In
Cass the local and liquor question lost
the Democratic ticket several hundred
votes. But without going into details,
the best Informed Democrats in the
North are confident they can carry that
section as state. They have not had
a fair chance to show what they can do
as yet. Whatever their grievances or
supposed causes of complaint, they are
largely at outs with the governor, and
won't do anything they suppose he
wants them to. But with clear field

But the Discoveries So Far Are
Not Full of Encouragement.

Special to the Globe.
KIMBALL, OAK, Dec. 1.-THE coal
find reported from this county (Brule)
turns out to be like the most of these
mines in the southeastern quarter of
the territory. Mr.. Davids has been dig
cling at his well for some six months,
and the coal that he found few days
ago was but the outcroppings from a
thin strata that he found few feet
nearer the surface. The most vivid an
ticipationist can make nothing out of
the find, except that coal may be found
somewhere along the eastern bank of
the river, if one goes low enough. Two
years ago when the artesian we'll here
was being sunk at distance of be-
tween 500 and 600 feet, the drill passed
through vein of coal some four inches
thick, and the cry was at once raised
that there was coal for the whole of Da-
kota to be found directly beneath KIM
ball. But the thinnesS of the find, and
there being none other found down to a
depth of 1,070 feet, soon put stop to
the cry.

Daily journal at Aberdeen.
Special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, Dec. T.-One of the sub
iects which has occupied much attention
of late among those posted upon the
situation, is the sale of a controlling
interest IN the Aberdeen Daily News.
This paper was established in February,
1885. as weekly by Startling Way. In
June, 1886, Way having sold out his
interest, E. G. Tourney, the journalistic
luminary of the great town of Ordway,
and latterly of Columbus, took his place.
The News soon appeared as daily,
afternoon at first, and later turned in"
the press reports which it ran until
last July.
The changes in the News stock
holders are due to the attitude of the
paper. The last inconsistency which
led to the purchase of George K. Shaw's
stock, was the stand taken by this
alleged
LOCAL OPTION PAPER
in supporting candidate for district
attorney known to have pledged him
self to the liquor interest. This straw

A LITTLE JAR IN GRIGGs

Between the Alliance Farmers
and the Democrats About the
Voting.
Special to the Globe.
CooPERsTowN, Dec. THE Farmers
alliance is rather disorganized at pres
ent. The farmer candidates do not
think the Democrats acted in good faith
towards them during election. They
had no trouble in getting Democratic
nominations, but great trouble in get
ting any offices. The Democrats, on
the ether hand, claim that only one or
two individuals cut
THEIR OWN PARTY TICKET,
and that the party is not to blame for it.
The county went Democratic by 40
votes, and had it not been for the I'M
fortunate defeat of the party in national
affairs, the county would have con-
tinued Democratic. AS it is the week
kneed are again all Republicans.

DICKINSON, Dak., Dec. 1.-The sa-
looms here have, in the past, been run
on the swide open" policy, gambling
being one of the principal and profitable
features of the business. Keeping open
all night in direct violation of their
bonds which prohibit gambling and re-
quire them to close at IL o'clock at
night with other violations of law, caused
the board of county commissioners to
take action in the matter and order
compliance with the law, which the
saloon men obeyed, and last Sunday,
FOR THE FIRST TIME
in the history of Dickinson, the saloons
were closed, and at IL o'clock the lights
go out. The saloon men seem disposed
to obey the law, and as a result the
town is much quieter than in the days
of ''all night" saloons. The gambling.
if INDUCED in at all, is not so open and
public as heretofore, and our citizens
generally commend the action of the
commissioners in the matter, and will
support them in their efforts Tor law and

MANY newspapers throughout the

his recent relations to the Grant family.
There are a good many features of Ba,

but it cannot be denied that he was Of
vast importance to Grant in his earlier
political struggles, and it is equally Ger
tain that the Memoirs" which have
brought the family such a snug sum,
would perhaps have never been renned
but for the aid of Badeau. However
much Badeau may have laid himself
open to criticism Col. Fred Grant, as the
present head of the family, is certainly
very far from blameless in the affair. OuI
own impression is that the gallant colone
lacks many of the elements which go tc
make up decent manhood, or he would
never have allowed part of his father
funeral expenses to be paid after persist
ent dunning by the bitterest political
enemy his father aver had, Chas. A.

legged chump and the deeper he SINKS
