Mitchell's AIishap.

Special TO the Globe.
TRACY, MIMI, Sept. Sd. Mitchell,
one of the oldest settlers of this county,
residing on farm near Amirel, met
with a serious accident near his home
last night. Some of his horses having
gone estray, he started out on horseback
to find them, and the night being very
dark ran his horse into barb wire
fence. He was thrown and cut in a
serious manner. One leg, it is feared,
must be amputated, even if the injuries
do not prove fatal, as it is now feared
thag will.

HE Is A WINNER.
That Is the Opinion at BismarcA

Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, Dak., Sept. Sd. w. Har-
den, the Democratic candidate for con-
gress, spoke here tonight, and was
given royal reception by the people OF
Bismarck. His speech is pronounced
by all to be the best political argument
heard here for years, and he is
looked upon by those who heard him
as the winning candidate. He devoted
himself chiefly to the tariff question,
and his arguments in favor of tariff re-
form are unanswerable. Many Repub-
licans in the audience are quick to ex-
press their admiration for the manner
in which Mr.. Harden handles the sub
ject. He shows beyond the possibility
of reputation that the position of the
Democratic party on the tariff question
is in the interest of the great agricuitur-
al territory of Dakota, and those who
think that he will not receive heavy
vote in all section of the territory are
deceived.

Now that the first excitement over
Mr.. Merriam's nomination has passed,
the wiscst and best leaders of the Re
publican party begin to realize that it
was not 50 creditabie a thing after all
to do. and that the manner in which it
was brought about has placed stain
upon the state. 1t is singular that the
newspaper records of 1882 show that
with the commencement of MIR. Mer-
RAMS canvass in that year for the
legislature the talk of "boodle" and OF
a direct corruption of the voters Of the
state began, and have gained in volume
every year. The fact that Mr.. Merriam
was a more than millionaire may not
have had anything to do with this; the
fact that in his canVaSSeS enormous
sums of money were supposed 10 be
spent by somebody to aid him did
cause II.
The claim of the Republican party,
persistently made. has been that it NOM
mated only its vOte-getterS. This argu-
ment applies with capital force to Mer-
riam, who possesses a secret power or
getting votes that worked with wonder
full success. lie came to the convention
with admirable recommendations as TO
his vote-getting qualities. for in 1856 he
was charged by his political opponent
with corruption; charge that has
never been refuted. He was defeated
in the canvass for the mayOralty by an
overwhelming majority of $500. And
when he asked his own party friends to
elect a delegation to the state conven-
ton in his interest, they responded by
showing him under and clear out of
sight.

ATTEMPTED CHILD-sTEALING.

About a quarter to six O'Clock Mrs.
John L. Mccoy, wife of ]. L. Mccoy, of
Peck & Mccoy, was sitting on the front
step of her residence at No. IS West
Tenth street, when she was surprised at
seeing a man deliberately lifting her
year and half old girl baby from it's.
buggy and start off down the street. She
sprang from her seat and after a sharp
pursuit caught up with the kidnapper
and took her baby forcibly from his arms.
Thinking that there was no more danger
of losing the baby she, on her return,
placed it in the buggy, where on pleasant
days the little girl had been amused bv
the antics OF her four brothers and sis
ters, who generally play about that spet.
About O'Clock Mrs. Mccoy had occasion
to go into the house, and while she was
inside the man again appeared and took
the little child. Luckily, Mrs. w. Il.
Burke, who resides opposite, saw the
occurrence, and running across informed
Mrs. Mccoy of what had happened. By
this time the man had got some distance
away, but Mrs. Mccoy caught up with
him and tried to take the child. He re-
fused to give it up and was moving ON.
when Sheriff Kays, who was on his way
home, appeared on the scene. He re-
stored the child to its mother and tele-
phoned for Deputy Russell, who took the
prisoner to the County Jail. The man.
who appeared to be somewhat under the
influence of liquor, said his name was
John Daily, and that he took the baby
because he wanted it to "breathe the
breath Of life." He was evidently out
of his mind from the use of liquor.

low the maximum number that has been
