Let them Prove their Assertions.


The recount in the First Congressional
district shows a majority of 81 for Pendle-
ton, and there is no doubt now Of his cleo
ton; in fact, it is conceded by the Intelii-
gencer, though with many allegations Of
frauds" supposed to have been committed
by Democrats. As it makes no etiJrt to
locate any of them, and furnishes no
evidence to back its assertions, we
must conclude that it does not believe
them itself, and is merely trying to drop
az easy as possible. We are very much
opposed 10 any assertions of this nature
unless they are susctptSble of proof. II
there have been frauds committed at the
polls, or in the recount, which can bs
proven, the guilty parties should be
arrested and punished; bat this thing
Of accusing an honorable body
Of man of crime which is q
felony under our law, because the vote
does not count out just as they would like
to have it, is carrying the joke little too
far. Indeed, We cannot see what the OBJ
ject is, unless it be to manufacture sen-
timent outside Of the State favorable 10
contest for the seat in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and even charges Of this kind
are weapons which are liable to cut both
wsys.

10 Us< Editor Of DSe Re0isIr.
Since recounts and Investigations Of

by Preston county. 1t has bsen asserted
that lone or more persons Of unsound
mind were allowed to vote a. Aurora, "
and that at other precincts in the county
''the Judges were all Republican," II
these things are true some one is rsspons-
ible and should be punished. At any rate,
we think the mater should be investiss-
ted, for if the county is to be controlled by
psupers, idiots and Republican doodle
the balance Of the people ought to know il

fashion. The President roundly lectures
the legislative branch Of the government
for doing what il should not do, and leav-
ing undone tboe things which Il ought to

with colors flying aud with the captain on

Latest Observations Reported
Throughout the State.

Latest Observations Reported
Throughout the State.
The unusually cold and wet weather
for maturing crops and has delayed
harvesting. ALI correspondents report
the temperature decidedly below the
seasons average, and the rainfall
is reported as being in eX-
cess, except in the northwestern
counties. There was much less than
average sunshine in Minnesota during
the week. The first frost OF the season
occurred in the northern part OF the
state this week, which injured tender
garden products in exposed places. The
stations reporting frost are as follows:
Grand Forks, the 7th and Sth; Argyle,
the morning of the 9th, and st. Vincent,
the 9th and 10th.
REMARKS OF OBSERVERS.
Argyle-The past week has been quite
cool and weather cloudy. Thursday
morning the first frost of the season
came. 1t injured gardens that were not
protected from the northwest winds.
Wheat and oats are filling nicely,
but the farmers are fearful that
the late grain will be frosted.
Currie-The rainfall for the last sew
well distributed. All crops are not i'll
jured particularly by it. The temper
allure is below the average. The sun
shines but little. Everything will be
right again with fair weather.
Glencoe-Rain, rain! We are all
afloat with it. The ground is so soft
that the binders can not work and the
farmers are res0rting to cradles to gather
what they can of the small grain.
Grand FOrks-Weather during past
week cool and showery. On Tuesday
night we had light frost, touching ten
der vegetables, but not doing much
damage to wheat crops.
Acknowledgements showers during
past week, followed by unusually low
