Butler at Detroit.

at OGkFOUs
DETROIT, Mich, Oct 29.-Gen. Butler
spoke to the largest political gathering Of
the campaign in this city at the rink tonight.
The large building was completely packed
and several thousand people got no nearer
than the outside rooms. The General was
in poor voice and was with difficulty heard.
He began by saying he was an old man and
his political days were over. He had been
greenbacker and was proud of it. There
no longer existed any necessity for the green
back party. as they had secured all they
wanted. 1t made no difference to him who
was president. The president could not do
much harm any way, but he preferred to see
Gen. Harrison elected because he believed in
protection for capital and labor. He then
proceeded to an elaborate discussion of the
tariff and the Mills bill. Referring to the
Sackyille-West letter, he said it made no
difference whether the Murchison letter was
forgery or not the minister's letter was
not

man. his son Allan, and newspaper repre-
sentatiyes left Columbus 1T 11.20 a. M, on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. At Zanes-
vile, 400 or 800 men greeted the sold
Roman" He thanked them and spent a
short time in handshaking. Cambridge
tu ned out 200 people with whom the Judge
carried ON lively conversation during the
time the train stopped. He congratulated
them on their recent big strike of natura
gas, jokingly suggesting that he thought they
had found the place where lot of stump
speakers were buried and then tapped them.n
Some one in the crowd asked, "Will the
West letter have any influence on the cleo
tion.''
"Oh no, that fellow has not English brains
to hurt anything" laughingly replied the
Judge. 1T was too transparent a trick to
draw him into scrape, to have any influ-
,ence on the people. 1t is simply ridicu-
lous campaign dodge"
When the Wheeling depot was reached,
crowd of most enthusiastic Democrats gave
a rousing welcome to the party, fireworks
adding to the noise. Mr.. Thurman was at
once driven to the Windsor hotel. Tomorrow
morning there will be a parade, in the after
noon number of speeches and in the even
ing torchlight procession, and Judge
Thurman's address at the rink.

In the Empire State

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29-Mr. A. p. Cum
ningham. of Omaha, at present an officer of
the United States Senate, has just returned
from an extended trip through New York
and Indiana. Mr.. Cunningham is an Irish
man by birth, and is forcible speaker
among the natives of the Emerald Isle. He
is besides keen political observer, and his
examination Of the situation leads him to
predict the election of the Republican ticket
next week beyond peradventure To cor
respondent he said:
The Republicans will poll 10000 votes in
the city of New York, and Harrison and
Morton will haye at least 10000 plurality in
the State, Mr.. Erhardt's chances for cleo
tion to the mayoralty Of New York city are
excellent, and unless there is trading in the
city, Mr. Miller will be elected Governor by a
handsome majority. He will not poll as many
votes in the State at large as General Harri-
son for the reason that Gov. Hill has the Ii
quor men with him, and they do not all sup
port President Cleveland"
What do you base your estimate upon?"
"The sentiment among the lrish-American
voters. There are thousands of them all
over the country who voted the Democratic
ticket in 1884. and in all previous elections,
who are today withHarrison and Morton up
on the great national question oftariff which
Is the issue of this campaign. In every town
in Connecticut there are at least four or five
Irishmen who have changed their party alle-
glance, and in the cites of New York and
Brooklyn the number is swelled to thou
sands"

IT is strange that in dealing with D.

IT is strange that in dealing with Da-
kota many of the Eastern newspapers
completely throw aside those principles
of common sense supposed to be inherent
IN the American character. In ordinary
matters the Eastern journals seem to be
logical, fair-minded, aud dcslrous Of
giving truthful information. But when
it comes to treating Of Dakota weather
they make no effort whatever to learn
the truth. They certainly do not believe
half the yarns they print regarding the
New Northwest. They know that most
of the people In this territory were
formerly residents OF the older sections
of our common country, and that they
left behind them relatives and friends
who would gladly welcome them back.
Dakota has over 600, 900 people, and her
population has increased every year since
settlement. Doesn't 1t appear strange to
Eastern editors that they have not yet
convinced Dakota people that they ought
to leave such an ''orfup' country? One
would suppose that disgust would over
take them, some time, at lack Of apprecia-
ton Of their endeavers. But, seriously,
don't these editors all know that, If what
they write of Dakota we're true, her peo.
pie would all get back to their old home.

Land II Wealth.

At farmers institute held at Joliet,
ILL.,, recently, old Gov Oglcsby was one
Of the most acceptable and eloquent Of
the speakers. He did not pretend to
know much about farming but, as chair.
man Of the public LANDS committee of the
United States senate, some years ago, lie
had studied the land question and had
formed some very decided opinions
thereto. He took the ground that Uncle
Sam has comparatively little to dispose
OF that has any value for either cultiva.
ton or grazing, and that farming lands
must of necessity grow IN value amaz-
ingly in the near future. He referred his
audience to the time. thirty or forty
years ago, when some of the best land in
the state could be bought for q dollar or
dollar and quarter an acre, asked them
what it was valued at now, and re-
quested them to form an opinion as to
what it would be worth forty years hence.
England was less than ten days distant
from US, and yet her lands, the value of
which is based upon the rent they bring,
are worth from five hundred to seven
hundred dollars an acre. Land, he in
sisted. is the most valuable of permanent
investments, and its cultivation the most
conducive to happiness and prosperity.
He said lie would prefer that his two
sons become farmers rather than follow
any other avocation,-Ex.

Ex-Qov. Pierce, in Pioneer Press: All
the hue and cry which can be made
against Dakota cannot keep people from
coming here. Substantially the same
cry has been raised against every western
and northwestern state. Fifty years ago
people were warned 10 keep out of Ohio
and Indiana or they would perish with
the fever and ague. Stories of horrible
suffering were related, having a little
truth for foundation but the immi-
grants came along all the same. At a
later date hundreds returned from 1llln ois,
declaring that white men could not live
there ; and there arc many persons now
living who abandoned lands on the very
spot where tho city Of Chicago stands,
saying, 1.-The old place left is good
enough for me-" But, wherever you find
one of these old men still able to use his
legs, hc is constantly kicking himself for
being fool. So with Kansas, right up
to five or six years ago. Men sold their
farms there and returned to Illinois. In
diana, Ohio and other states further east,
satisfied that nobody could live or thrive
iu that particular state. Now they see
the farms they abandoned worth from
twenty to fifty dollars an acre. In sim.

that he was on the land from fall until
the following spring. absent again during
the succeeding spring, again on the
land from fall until spring, and not ab-
sent ak months at any ono time that he
applied the proceeds of his labor during
the two seasons he was absent to the
building of his house and making i'm
provements on his land, now valued alto
gether AZ 5000 that he was poor man,
and his absence was for the purpose of
eurning the means to improve his land,
| and that lie devoted all the fruits of his
earnings with fidelity to that purpose. Iu
the spring of the third year hc left again,
and remained absent until the following
January, his purpose being to earn suffi-
cient money to pay the government for
his land. The amount necessary was 5000
"a considerable sum for a laborer to save
from his wages during year, in addition
to the necessary fees and expenses. He

standing he was not personally present
| upon his land during the last SIX months
preceding the completion of his entry,
the fact cannot deny his right. He made
"a settlement in person" on this land,
and has erected dwelling thereon. He
has improved the land, and lie has inhab-
tied it lin good faith" When it is con.
sldercd that this tract was situated many
miles from the ordinary highways, ana

he has perslstently clung to it for three
years. applying all the results-of his labor
to its improvement and its purchase, it is
difficult to discern case more worthy of
being found marked by good faith. 1t is
marked by good faith. His "inhab,tancy"
OF the land is notimpeached, after his resi-.
dence was once secured, by his going
abroad to procure means to bring back
