Blaine and Pettisrew.

The Washington Evening Star Of
the l1th inst published the following
which may be Of interest to the friends
Of Senator Pettigrew.
"The great Northwest is going to
have something to say about the next
Republican presidential ticket" said a
Sioux City, Iowa, Republican to Star
reporter today. Heretofore the
Northwest has been little more than
an aggregation of territories, now it il
all states. We have abont made mp
our minds as to who we want, and it
strikes me that the majorityof Western
Republicans will be enthusiastically in
favor Of Blaine and Pettigrew. Petit.
grew is good man and worthy of
every honor that can be heared on
him. He is one of the few Republicans
in congress who looks out for the In
terests of his constituents before hc
begins to think of himself. He does
what they want and does it we'll. He
was all right on this tariff fight, and
he will continue to be all right so long
as he is in congress. Pe.tigrew can
afford to run on the presidential ticket.
He has lots of money. A remarkable
feature in his career is the never fail
ing slccess that attends his every
movement. He is thorough repre-
sentative OF the live Northwest. a man
OF marked ability and clean hands, and
il he is candidate will draw every
Republican who loves good man
right UP to him. I'm for Blaine and
Pettigrew."

These political reports arc getting
rather wearing. One day the report
reaches US that the independents have a
majority on j'int ballot in the legisla-
ture. The next day the report is cur
rent that the republicans have discov-
cred two or three men thought to be
buried which makes a tie, and the next
the republicans have a morjority of
two with one county a tie, and then the
whole line is gone over again until we
are all in a whirl. We have concluded
to let the legislature settle all these
questions, hoping that when they get
through that some party will have a
majority and that good republican
will be elected to the U. S. senate.
Further than that let EN- fight,

for Minnesota, it proved it's practical
workings yesterday to- be the DEATH
dealer to the ward heeler and the
slugger. who always had his eyes open
for intimidating voters. The system
has been given its first fair trial and
as far as Minnesota is concerned, the
general opinion was last night that
tho law is q fixture, for the method as
q whole gave general satisfaction.
Whether the altogether swinging
around from the old system brought
out more voters, according to the
registration is still somewhat OF con-
jucture and will remain so until the
fullest and complete returns come to
hand from nil parts Of the state, In
Minneapolis the vote seemed to be fair
percentage and there is llttlc question,
but that the seclusipn and privacy
afforded voters in preparing their bal
lots cut mere figure than may be gen.
orally supposed to lie the case. In
almost every instance the judges of
election put in an carly appearance,
punctual to the minute, and the voting
started upin first class style. It was
but matter of few minutes to ar
range the boxes and paraphernalia of
the outfit, and for the greater part of
the day steady stream of voters pour
ed in past the judges. The most notice.
able feature and an exceedingly pleas
ant one was the heeler's absence, for,
under the law, that individual is not
allowed to electionecr within 100 feet
of the polling place, and with the ex-
citement. of close quarters gone, the
heeler evidently concluded there was
no use for him, and left the polls or
voters severlv alone. There seemed to
he an uniform fairness and good will
manifest everywhere, aud but few at
tempts made to place too technical a
construction upon the law. The only
question asked, "Has the voter a right
to cast his ballot?"

Mrs. Marietta NJ. Benes, of Webster
charges that Susan B. 1Anthony's inter.
est in the Equal Suffrage campaign
was a detriment to the cause. In an
interview with Pioneer press reporter
she says: Several reasons existed for
the failure Of the suffrage amendment
to carry at our state election. A prom.
lnent one is a reaction OF sentiment
regarding prohibition. Another is,
the suffrage campaign was commenced
Six months or more before the proper
time; consequently the subject was
worn out long before the election. In
my opinion we would have come mucl,
nearer succeeding had no campaign
whatever been made upon the subject.
Our enfranchisement was an amend
snent to our state constitution to bo de.
cided by the voters. and there is not a
doubt that the domineering and ayar.
icious Susan B. Anthony everywhere
lessened our chances for victory. Her
management (as it did in Nebraska in
1889 ONLY tended to concentrate oppo.
sition against the movement, rather
than secure us votes.

The grangers will control legislation
in several western states during the
coming session. The success Of the
alliance or independent movement in
1892 will be largely affected by the
manner III which these farmer legisla-
tors acquit themselves. 4 great re-
sponsibility is resting upon the should
ers Ut these men. The leaders Of the
independent movement have promised
relief for some real and many fancied
evils, and relying on these promises
The people have placed them in the

that he (scholield) failed 10 meet the
central committee he would better see
DIR. Stewart who was chairman Of the
central committee and chairman of the
executive committee and the only per-
son in any way authorized to act in
the absence of meeting Of the central
committee. This is the sum of what

The Indian Xrecia!,.

PIERRE, Nov. 13.-Col. Tassen
and Capt. Vivian, of the United
States army. We're in town to-day
fresh from the scenes among the
Sioux Indians. They say that the
new Christ craze is again becoming
more noticeable among the Indians.
AS has already been stated. this
new Christ is tot'appear at an early
date. The earth is to pass through
remarkable transformation and he
is to lead all good Indians through
safely and they will have prophet
ary right to the new earth. The
present globe will be submerged
in a stratum of earth and thus all
whites and their earthly possessions
will be buried. On the new earth's
surface will be found every cond;-
tion to make an Indians existence
one of perpetual bliss. The
streams will abound i'll fish, and
buffalo, deer, antclopes, elk and
other game will roam in abundance.
They now refuse to let White men,
with whom they have been doing
business and whom they have re-
peatedly admitted to their dances
and councils, who can talk their
native tongue and with whom they
have always been on the most
friendly terms, to approach the
places where they arc holding
their religious orgies. Even the
squaw men who have married into
their tribes,,are refused participa-
ton. Their officers say that if the
new Christ comes and undertakes
any bad breaks such as inciting
the Indians to war, ETC., he will &c
summarily shot or hung.
Col. Tassen says the new Mes
siah idea first cropped out among
the Indians of northern California
in 1883. He was among them
that year and learned all the signs
and the reasons for their belief of
the coming of their Christ. 1t

full possession of all the tribes.

piled table on the legislature in this
evenings Free Press it. is evident that
both houses are lost to the republicans
by from four toseven on a joint ballot.
This causes considerable speculation
here as to who Moody's successor in

claim that Congressman Pickler would
draw enough votes to elect him, but
the democrats nearly all think that
Bartlett Trip or IF. Mcclure will be
Moody's successor.
It's probably well that the campaign
ended where it did. If the array of

time republican majority would have
been completely wiped out, as it was

obstacles in the way of concerted ao-
ton has been the fear that radical
measure would DO vetoed. AS Sen
ator Jones of Nevada said some timo

to enact no Legislation at all. But
the fear of the Presidential veto is di-
minishing. The President has not
committed himself further than to say
that he approves tho Window bill,

bill put through Congress has created
the belief that he would accept even
