Fighting on the Plains.

Crossing the plains Rowland vas with
the famous Hunt train, which was at.
tackled by thousands of Indians. Hunt,
then United States marshal and later
governor of Colorado. was conveying pris.
oners to Jail in Michigan. At his requezt
Rowland organized the train, and for nine
different days they fought Indians. Am.
munition was about gone, and the last
night they loaded their only cannon with
trace chains to be ready for the early
morning attack the Indians were sure to
make. He dampened gunny sacks to load
the cannon. The next morning it was %
degs. below zero, and at daylight Indians
attacked the train. 1t occurred to How
land that the sacks would be frozen and
the cannon would burst. For the moment

There are forebodings of a bitter strife in
the New York democratic camp. 1t is an
open secret that the brotherly love which one
time existed between President Cleveland
and Governor Hill has been ruptured and
the prospects for harmony are not good
Cleveland. backed by mugwumps and fed
eral Office holders, is opposing the renom-
nation of Hill, while the dyed-in-the-wooi
democracy of the state are demanding it,
and the warning factions have their knives
drawn and whetted to a keen edge ready
for business.
The action of the state committee, which
convened atSaratoga yesterday, would seem
TO Indicate that Hill had been downed in the
first encounter in selecting the time and place
for holding the state convention. 1t is
known that Governor Hill favored Saratoga
xnd September 4th, while Cleveland favored
Buffalo and September 18th, which
place and time were agreed upon
by the committee. While this has the sp-
pearsnce of being first blood for the presi-
dent, 1t is not conceded by the followers of

republicans are In position to look upon
the situation with calmness, for whichever
way the tide turns there are evil forebod-
ings for democracy.

The republicans in the county, outside OF

The republicans in the county, outside OF
Springfield, seem to be slow in organizing
for the great campaign which is now on.
While the country precincts always make
g good showing at the polls. it is well to be
organized early and show the enemy that
we are thoroughly equipped for the war,
and that victory must and shall be ours in
the end. Harrison and Morton clubs should
be organized in every precinct in the county
and every effort should be made to get the
first voters and the 1s4O voters to fall in
the ranks and.march to the tune of Harri-
son, protection and victory.

The progress Of the campaign In the United
States is viewed from the European stand
point with an interest as profound as IL is In
the United States. II is the opportunity OF
England. II is the long locked for occasion
upon which the cheaper labor and the cheap
er fabrics OF the old world expect to invade
the new and lower the wages of American
workingmen to the European standard. IL is
not contest of capital against capital; it is
not contest OF partisan against partisan.
1t Is much higher than either of these. II
transcends all party motive. Whether the
great mass of American citizens who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow shall
be seriously reduced in their emoluIaent from
day to day. That is the whois~eith and mo-
ment OF the questials-sames G. Blaine.

The raoplaAL DAUGHTER.

To the home OF his father returning
The Prodigal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving.
AS when ON his first natal morn;
robe and ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent vow.
But ah for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from her homs-
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
n" hand is outstretched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd. whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and e'en the forsaken,
He bears in his bosom alway;
And in the brighs mansions of glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
AS well as the Prodigal Son.
