TUESDAYS PRIMARIES.
The Treasurership Causes Warm
Fight In Several Wards.

The Republican primaries passed off
quietly Tuesday night but we're quite well
attended. The new law governing these
elections was in effect and gave good
satisfaction.
The contests for delegates in the First,
Second and Third wards were quite
spirited, the treasurship being the bone
of contention. In the First and Second
the issue was between Sherk and Mohr,
the result being tie in the First and q
victory for Sherk in the Second. In the
Third ward the Bradley ticket was
elected, and in the Fourth delegation
friendly to Sherk was chosen without
opposition.
There was also contest for school di-
rector in the Second, P. A. Foster hav-
ing made still hunt and succeeded IN
tieing the vote of Jacob Flacksenhar.
The results in the several wards were as
follows:

THE Minneapolis Star also thinks Mr..
Lind is going to be troubled by the free
trade element among his Scandinavian
friends. 1t is suggested that Editor
Bowen, of Sleepy Eye, might successful
ly cut down the ten thousand majority
Mr.. Lind had two years ago. From
away up in Minneapolis this task of
beating John Lind may not look SO
large, but the Star will note that there is
no very fierce competition for the honor
among the Democratic patriots of the
district.

Cleyeland's Luck.

The career Of Grover Cleveland,
since his first entrance into political
lite, has been q succession oi triumphs
and has excited the special wonder Of
thousands, many of whom firmly. be-
lieve in the superstition of "good
luck" and that Mr.. Cleveland is to
succeed in every ambition of his life.
Assui eddy few men have had such
continuous success as has President
Cleveland, but in the minds Of some
who have so strongly believed in his
"good luck" a thought may now in
sidiously creep, that there was danger
in dropping his "Mascot" in the re-
cent Convention, which renomjnaied
him for the Presidency amidst whirl-
orally conceded that Hon. Dan Lock.
wood is Cleveland's "Mascot," and
there was surprise expressed when it
was learned that Lock wood was not to
nominate him at st. Louis, but that
| the honor was delegated to the silver
tongued orator Of Philadelphia, Hon.
Daniel Dougherty. The believers in
| stluck" contend that Lockwood should
have been selected. He it was who
nominated Cleveland for Mayor OF
Buffalo in 1881, was called upon before
the mayoralty term expired TO noml-
nate him for Governor of New York
in 1882, and before that term expired
again presented the same name to the
triumphant Democracy ut the National
Convention in 1884, who made Gov.
Cleveland the President of the United
States. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Dougherty nominated Gen. Ham
cock (the superb'D who was defeated,
and there be some of a superstitious
nature, who will doubtless see in this
a change of luck for Cleveland, and
who will deplore the dropping OF
"Mascor Lockwood rs serious mis-
take. But they need harbor no such
approximations Of evil. Luck or nc
luck, il Is almost an assured fact that
Grover Cleveland will succeed himself
as President OF tho United States and

stonewal Jackson.

-
The monument erected TO the men,
DRY of Stonewall Jackson, one OF the
most celebrated and successful OF the
Confederate Generals, was dedicated
on the 18th on the spot where the great
soldier was MORALLY wounded. There
were 5000 people present who were
presided over by Fitzhugh Lee, OF
Virginia, and addressed by Senator
John w. Daniel.
We give the Introductory portion OF
Daniels speech, which is regarded as
one OF the finest bursts of oratory ever
heard In this country:
.Here In the depths OF the wilder
ness on Spotsylvania's soil on the 3rd
day Of May, 1868, in the hour OF victory,
and in the fortieth year of his age, fell
in battle Thomas Jonathan Jackson,
lieutenant. general in the army of the
Confederate States, commanding the
Second corps OF the Army of Northern
Virginia. On the 10th day of May he
died. and in the graveyard at his old
home, at Lexington, Va, he lies buried.
Htther we come to dedicate upon this
spot a landmark stone and TO pay
respects to his memory. Sacred Is the
and tender are the memories this Gay
recalls. But this is not the place nor
this the time for tears. We are gather
ed together to rejoice that human
nature can take to credit and lit up to
example the life Of such man as
Jackson that he spent his life amongst
US. that he gave his life to US, that oui
countrymen everywhere revere his
name, aud that the record OF his Lille
remains as the glory of his State, his
race, his country, and as mankind's
great heritage in all generations.
urhe world has never known SUBJ
Inner man than Jackson. His life was
dauntless; his energy was irrepressible;
his ambition was chastened; his
religion was pure; his patrio~
'tlsm was ferven,; his mind was
vigorous his heart was charitable.
He was valorous OF his convictions; he
was skrinkingly modest; he was grand.
ly audacious.
"Ol his soldiers he was the idol; OF
his country he was the hope OF wal
he was the master. His genius was
transcendent. His deeds were won
derful. To serve his God and his
country he lived; serving ana loving
them he died. His manIiness and his
godliness were alike pre-. eminent, and
the memory OF him will never die.
shall speak of him to-day as man ant
soldier, and to tell the truth plainly
shall be my only object, for Truth viii

1t is to be regretted that nobody has
accepted the seif-appointed mission of
making up.a complete return from the
muster rolls of the Louisiana troops.
1t Is possible that with the material
obtaiuable in Louisiana and that which
is In the captured Confederate archives
at Washington something satisfactory
might be accomplished. o. course,
Secretary Arroyo only had the records
in the State archives and possibly
fragramentary Information from other
sources, but he deserves the thanks Of
his feIlow-citiZens for what he has con-
tributed towards the history of the gal
liant men of Louisiana. 1t is to be
hoped that the work will be carried on
in the line he started. There is noth-
ing so important to the historian as
facts. Theories aud philosophical dis-
QUESTIONS are plentiful enough and
usually worthless enough. The dis.
covery that current history confirms so
little fact has greatly contributed TO
discount the value of the innumerable
tomas that were once held as the high.
