Upon IT. Says Governor Campbell,
Ohio Democrats Must Stand
or Fall.
The Battle Will Be One of the Hardest
in the History Of Buckeye
State Politics.
According to the Correspondents Har.
rison and Allison Have .
Combine.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Kate Field'l
Washington letter will contain an in.
tervisw with Governor Campbell on the
Ohio campaign. He thinks it will per.
hsps be the hardest fought ON record.
The tariff issue will be the most con-
spicuous feature of the campaign.
Nothing could defeat the Democrats
except an enormous corruption fund,
and even that would fail in his opinion,
first because Ohio has never been
bought, aud therefore never will be, and
secondly because the Australian system
renders nugatory to q great extent all
efforts to corrupt the voters. The silver
question will be an issue but not to
such an extent Is the tariff. While the
Democrats declared, after fashion, for
free coinage, yet it was upon very
close vote, and the sentiment Of the
party is much divided in this state. Il
would perhaps be more of an issue had
any other than Major Mckinley headed
the Republican ticket, but his nomins-
ton forces the tariff issue, and upon
that we must stand or fall.

Brer Loucks says it will be long
time before the editor of The REPUBLI-

orer. Perhaps so: but The RETUBL1-

the demagogic frauds who prey on the

Loucks. This writer ventures to say
that he has done more hard days work
both as farmer and laborer than any

reform leaders, whose platform is class
prejudice and whose arguments are
abuse and misrepresentation.

The city of Yankton is entitled to
congratulation upon regaining its signal
service station which has been jostled
back and forth between that city and
Sioux City for the past two years.
Delegate Mathews first interposed in
behalf of Yankton and delayed the re-
movai, and then our Senators and Re-
representatives. exerted their influence
for time: but the station finally went
TO Sioux City from which place it is
now returned to where it belongs in the
interest of fair treatment of South Da-

AS a sort of compromise the Republi-
can editors who are at Madison next
month might discuss the proposed con-
ference informally, and then agree on
another meeting. If the Democratic
and Independent editors are to meet at
the same place at that time, it is the
best OF reasons why the Republicans
:should not meet as such, although there
.ought to be full attendance on the
regular association meeting. 1t is not
sgood policy to discuss family matters
where the walls have ears and the
'dickey birds are only too anxious to
sscatter gossip. Let's stick to the orig
final suggestion.

The Rental Of 100000 a Yea

OMAHA, Neb., July 2s.-Justic,
Brewer has handed down his decision
in the famous Rock Island. Union
Pacific bridge case in the United State,
circuit court. In it he sustains the
Rock Island in every position it took.
The court holds that . contract
signed by the presidents Of both roads,
attested by the secretaries under thu
seal of the corporations, and approved
by the executive boards is valid. The
ground that it was not approved by tn
stockholders at their annual meeting il
held to be not well taken, for the reason
That the stockholders by resolution dele.
gated their powers to the executive
board. The allegation that the contract
was ultra void as it was of greater scope
shan the corpol alton could assume
was not sustained, but on the contrary
the court held that the company had
the legal right to rent any portion Of its
property which was not exclusively
used by it. Justice Brewer held that 4
court of equity had right to determine
whether the contract was valid and
whether a specific performance could
De made compulsory and lastly decided
that specific performance of the con.
tract must be had and granted the
prayer that the Union Pacific be com.
PEELED to live up to its contract. The
opinion, which is a very elaborate ono,
says the allegation that the value
600 the rental of SEQ, 900 1,
not adequate, is not we'll founded.
This is q substantial victory for
Omaha, as it has been for years trying
to get the Rock Island and milwaukee,
and st. Paul into the city, and this
declsion will bring about that result.
The decree will be entered Wednesday.
The Union Pacific gave notice of an
appeal, and asked that supersedeas
bond be fixed. The Rock Island win
combat this, and it is the general opin.
ion that the court will refuse this and
require the performance of the contract
instanter.

Just as the editor of the Sioux Falls

decision of Judge Plowman of the Black

his opinion with pretty good authority,
comes County Judge White of Yankton

mans tracks. The decision of the Su-
preme Court will be awaited with a
great deal of interest but we incline to
the belief that "Judge" Caldwell's dis

have been the first paper to suggest the
proposed editorial conference but says
it is with the brethren just the same

course. There's no need to dispute
over these unimportant details, how
ever. The thing to do is to decide on
the advisability of such gathering

A POLITICAL STORY.

fresident Harrison and Senator Allison
Said to Have Formed Combine.
WASHINGTON, July ga pretty po.
litical story was waited from Cape May
via New York and Washington. 1t is
political intrigue of considerable mag.
nitude. and President Harrison and Sen.
ator Allison. of Iowa, are the principals.
The Iowa senator spent some time at
Cape May a few days ago. While there
he was closeted with President Harrison
for many hours. No enc knew the pur.
pose of the conference then. To sum
marize the matter briefly, Harrison and
Allison formed political combination
of considerable magnitude. As a result
Allison is to lay aside all presidential
aspirations in 1892, and is to give his
full support in the interest Of Harrison's
denomination. In return for this
support Allison is to be Har-
rison's secretary of the treasury.
provided, of course, that he is
renominated and reelected. This deal.
u is Claimed, goes even further than
thls. 1t Harrison should be reelected
no is to do his utmost to nominate Al
lison for his own successor at the closa
OF his next presidential terra. Allison
is the only man vino can break the tide
in the West against Blaine, should the
latter be considered presidential fac
tor. Allison has the strongest pull of
any Western politician. With the ALI
son lover working for him, Mr.. Harri.
son has some show of winning renom-
ination, in the event that the man from
Maine is not factor.

Boston, July 29.-The Russian Jews
who are detained at this port by the
requirements of the new immigration
laws. say that the final act of persecu-
tion WHICH drove them from Russia was
the burning of their village, containing
eighteen houses, near Veilla. A crowd
OF men came from Veilla in the night
and set the place on fire. Fourteen
jews were burned to death and twenty
others badly injured. To the surprise
OF the Russlans, who were accustomed
10 see the Jews submit passively to all
outrages, the inhabitants armed them
sued the Russians.

1t looks as though the chances of the
late Grover Cleveland were waning and
that the Democrats were considerably
|at sea when they begin to hang their
hopes of success next year on the posi-

Boies in Iowa. Even the bluff of the
former that the farmers of the Buckeye
state are with the Democracy cannot
