Democratic Dissension.
From THE GLOsE DEMOCRAT.


The only source of comfort for
Democrats in the matter of their
recent terrible defeat is the theory
that the We're beaten by the stay-at-
home vote. They point to the
fact that their party did not any

claim that this indicates only tha;
Il large number of Democrats neg
lccted to vote without intending tC
promote Republican success: but
they do not tell us why all these
Democrats remained away from
the polls. The campaign was GER
tainly an active one. and the i'm
portance of the election was wei
understood. Every Democrat
knew that the question involved
was that of indorsing or condemn
ing the course of his party since i
assumed control of the government

Republican Senators are good

publican Senators were never more

mined that the country shall have
the rest which was promised on

Our friend across the street
seems to have taken exceptions to
Il paragraph that recently appear
ed in these columns in which we
held him responsible for the sch
timent eXprcsscd toward this
paper and It's editor by his Bel
grade correspondent ''Obscrver.
and because we said we couId not
see how a man OF our friends
standing in tie cintlrcl, could harbor
such ''unchri>tain-likc opinions.
We have learned from Il reliable
source that the man who wrote the
"ObServcr" articles for the ''indc-
pendent has as good as admitted
that he is III til" pay of our friend
across the street and he is. there
fore. As much responsible for them
As if they had emanatcd directly
from him. And even if this were
not the case, he gave his approved
and Endorsement to these letters
and the sentiment they expressed
by publishing them, and by dis
claiming the responsibility he sim
ply makes himself ridiculous.
1t was not our intention to aSSaiI
our friends standing as Il deacon
in the church, we only wished to
intimate that if he would act lit
tie more consistently he would not
expose himself to SO much cri!i-
ciSm. Just to show how consistent
he is, we will say that he tried in
his article of last week to cast Il
Slur upon our private character by
intimating that we were trying to
beat the county out Of our taxes.
Now our friend is either densalv
ignorant about the revenue laws
(as he Is upon pretty nearly every
other SubjccU, or he wilfully and
maliciously tried to create Il wrong
impression. If he will take the
trouble to look up the law upon
the subject he will find that our
property is not assessable until the
first day Of June, 1895: or the As
seSsor will probably give him this
information. As we were not a
resident of this county until after
June 1, 1891. our property could
not legally be assessed until june
/, 1895.
Our friend is right in one res
pect. We admit that we stoopet
beneath the dignity of a gentleman
when we opened a controversy
with man who has not the colr-
age to take upon himself the res
possibility of the acts of his hire
ling, and who further condemn.

and yct We are asked to accept the
idea that tens nt thousands, OF gcut,
Democrats Deliberately >taId at
home and allowed the Republicans
to achieve one Of the most nOtabi"
victories in the history OF our pol
itic~. 1t will not do to >a, that
they were simply Indifferent. or
that tLcy did not zee the necessity
Of c:.-:ir q their ballots. The av-
GRACE Democrat is lc,t known by
his eugerness to vote a often a.
possible: and when he misses an
opportunity Of that kind. we may
be sure that he is intiuenecl by
considerations Of mere than or>:.r :
ary force and significance.
In tie prc-en. instance, tie OK
planation lies in the fact that t;lc
Democratic party is ho:>eIcssIy
divided against Itself. It Ea- two
wings that cannot be made 10 flap
in harmony: tie antag3 g3ni,m he
tween them Is 80 pronounced and
acrimonious that either OF them is
less willing to see the other sue
cccd than to permit the party 81 a
party to be defeated. The main
causes of dis~ension are the tariff
and the currency. and the line OF
division il as mach Il sectional onc
as that which used to exist on the
slavery issue. 1t is we'll known
that the Eastern Democrats, are
4i,a>i-protcetioni~ts and ;ntiinIia-
ti@nists. while the II estorn and
Southern Democrats are tariff
>maShcrs and free $ilvcrltcs.
These difference, are of Il kind
that can not be compromised. and
the more they are discussed the
wider the breach becomes. Thus
the ties that bind men to the party
are lou-cneu. and the advantages
Of discipline are lost, and defeat is
invited by lack Of conference and
unanimi,y. Tie rccc;:t campaign
was one Of constant pulling at
cross purposes on the part Of these
two elements. They We're net
united upon principles or policies,
and the result Wa- not only !, large
dcscrtion from the party. but a
still larger refusal to vote because
of the fcclin. that it was better
for the Republicans to win than
for Democratic tritiing and duplic-
itv to be encouraged. There is
little hope of Improvement in this
rcsucct. The Eastern element Of
the party entcrtainS views that
the Western and Southern contln-
gents will never adopt; and it is
just Rs certain that the opinions
held by these latter conlingcnt>
will never be adopted by the East
crn element. 1t is an irreconcil;l-
ble separation, AN irrelressih't
conflict. The Democrats Whe
staid at home this year are likely
to do the same thing two years
hence: or. if they they vote, tn,
majority of them will be more ap1
to support the ticket Of some other
party than that of the one will

A Ludicrous Incident.

Fremont Bare and Mrs. Little
figured in a ludicrous although dan
gerous incident Tuesday. The twain
had started in a buggy for Absaro-
kee when in crossing the old chan
mel of the Saltwater they got off to
ford into deep water. The buggy
being tilted toward the side occu-
pied by Mrs. Little she was the first
to strike the chilly water which
was quite deep, while the gallant
Fremont was close second. Mrs.
Little with a death grip clung to
Freemont's coat while he vigorously
struck out for the shore bearing his
precious burden, finally reaching
point opposite high bank, where he
left the now frightened woman cling
ing to a bush while he went further
down the stream and scrambled up
the bank. After several Intellectual
attempts Fremont succeeded in
landing Mrs. Little on terra firma.
Aside from thorough wetting no
further damage resulted to either

A Wolf Killing.

Jim White, who arrived the other
day from Powder river, brings in
quite story: Some time in the
fore part of last week Dan Levalle
put a number of poison bats near
the mouth of Mizpah creek, and on
Wednesday returned to see the work
OF his poison. To his great surprise
he found that the bats had been sue
cessful in killing fourteen good -sixed
wolf pups-all of the same family.
During the process of skinning,
which took place soon after the dis
covery OF the dead pups, the mother
OF the litter took occasion to set up a
doleful moan from a nearby knoll,
but was left to survive the other
members of the family owing to the
fact that Dan was without shooting
iron. On Dams next trip to the city
the pelts will be brought in for
punching. A killing like this every
day or so would soon exterminate
the much-dreaded wolf from this
section of the country.-Yel ellowstone

MOVING EASTWARD.
Montana and Washington Coxeyites
Are Now Worrying North Dakota
Folks.

A dispatch received this week
from Bismarck, N. d., brought the
news that the Hoganites, who left
Fort Benton over week ago, have
arrived at that city. There were ten
boat loads of them and they were all
we'll. The same dispatch announced
that 100 of them had captured a train
at Dawson, and that seventy-fve
deputies were in pursuit of them.
1t is not thought here that these are
the Hoganites, but it is believed
they are a part of the Washington
army that is working it's way east.
Another dispatch from Mandan
says that several hundred Coxeyites
from Glendive succeeded in getting
across the state line into North Oak
ota, despite the guards. This is un-
doubtedly the advance guard of the
Washington army which was in Hell
ena two weeks ago.

Other bears range from $50 to 500.

no satisfactory remedy for the fin

neither close the controversy nor
