THE FIGHT FOR GOVERNOR.

The contest for nominations on
the democratic state ticket now go>
ing on is a good sign. 1t shows no
half f-heartedness. no fear for the re-
suit at the polls next November.
The next thing is harmony. 1t is
we'll enough for the partsans of
the different candidates to strive
zealously for the success of their
favorites, but the success of the
democratic ticket is paramount to
any mans hopes or his friends
ambitions.
Here in Mesa county the i'm
portant matter is for the democrats
get together. For long time
there have been division and jeal
usy and no better time than now
can be found for a general unihca-
ton.
What gave promise of being a
bitter sectional warfare in the dem>
ocratic ranks about the state is
gradually righting itself Arapahoe
county is a notable example. There
the anragonistic iorces are being
brought together and the indications
are that little if any dirty linen will
BE- taken into the democratic state
invention TO be laundered.
Whether Orman or Stevens or
Stimson or some one else is NOM
mated for governor does not greats
ly matter, so long as the nominee
il known to be the right man for
he place. The state has prospered
with Governor Orman in the chair
and no doubt would do so again
Likewise with any of the other
candidates.
There are many who would like
TO see Judge Stevens the nominee,
because he is a western slope man
md because they believe him able
and suited to the position; others
nelieve Governor Orman entitled to
auother term because of his hip h
character and the fact that most OF

While Orman is making a dis

delegations, the odds are still de-

with uninstructed delegations pre-
ponderate to Orman, while the
Stlmson and Stevens strength has
been mainly revealed through in
structed delegations. With Arap>
ahoe's 40 votes leading off for
him, as it is more than likely they
will, the small counties will be apt
to reveal unlock ed for Orman fol-
loving.

1t may be said of Stimson that he
has some OF the best politicians and
press agents of the gubernatorial
aspirants. Harry f. lnsley OF Den

are splendid prospectors for any
ambitious candidate, and what is
more. they are gentlemen of high
character who are above mean

Didn't Turn Out the Gas.

Senator Ellsworth tells the follow
ing story of a Western farmer who
was visiting Albany for the first time:,
while standing in the lobby CT the
state capitol at Albany, talking to
some friends a few weeks ago, l was
introduced by one of my colleagues to
a typical Western farmer, who had
just arrived in the city the night be-
fore, and was being shown around the
capitol building. The old fellow had
never been in a large town in his life,
and after telling me in his own quaint
way of some Of the sights and places
he had seen in the city the previous
night, he suddenly turned and said to
me in somewhat confidential tones:
"'Say, before leaving home 1 had
read about them fellers that blow out
the gas and get suffocated, and I
warn't fooled by that darned thing up
in my room in the hotel. / seen q

perhaps fourteen miles-to the north
west On leaving Fort Ridgely the
captain and the Interpreter were
mounted on mules: the men were on
foot, but the captain had directed that
teams, with extra ammunition and
empty wagons for the transportation
OF the men, should follow, and these
wagons overlook the command about
three miles out" ~: 800. -.
IN due time the little command came
to the Redwood ferry, but there is
confusion in the printed accounts as to
the exact time. AS the men were in
wagons the greater part of the way,
the distance, allowing for sundry halts,
ought to have been comprised in four
hours, at farthest. Half way across
the bottom the captain ordered the
men from the wagons and marched
them on foot, perhaps a mile, to the
ferry house and landing.
Meanwhile, on the way, the soldiers
had met fifty fugitives from and seen
the bodies of fourteen victims of the
massacre; yet the commander, an Off
Ger OF good judgment generally, and of
some knowledge of the Indians, did not
seem to comprehend the situation.
The language of his dispatch to Lieut..
Sheehan indicates that he believed the
trouble Was local and confined to the
Redwood Agency. His conduct in
marching straight forward, after he
must have known that the uprising
was, to some extent, at. least, wide
spreadS Indicates his confidence in mis-
strength to overcome any opposition
he might meet. Peter Quinn, the old
interpreter, with his forty years expe-
rience in Minnesota, believed from the
first receipt of the news that the dan
ger was serious. On leaving Fort
Rldgely with Capt. Ma rsh and his men,
he said. to Sutler B. H. Randall: Il
am sure we are going into great dan
ger. do not expect to return alive"
Then, with tears in his eyes, he con-
tinued: "Good-bye; give my love to
ALL" Whether Quinn gave his opin-
ions to Capt. Marsh, can never be
known; IT he did, their influence was
ineffective.
When Capt. Marsh and his men
reached the crest of Faribault's hill
they saw to the southwark, over two
miles away on the prairie about the
Agency, number of mounted Indians.
OF course, the Indians could and did
see Marsh and his party. But know

the great Indian reign of terror fairly

At and in the vicinity of the Agency
site, the Historical society has placed
several monuments and tablets.
The first victim of the savage on
slaught upon the Lower Agency was
the most prominent of the entire out
break, Hon. James w. 'Lynd. This
gentleman was native of Baltimore,
born in 1880, but was reared and edu-
Gated at Cincinnati. He had received
a college education, and was man of
accomplishments and ability. Becom-
ing interested in Indian studies, he
came to Minnesota in 1853 and located
among the Sioux. He thoroughly mas
tered the Indian language, and spent
years in the study of the history and
general character of the Sioux or Da-
kota tribe. and for some time prior to
his death he had been engaged in re-
vising for publication the manuscript
of an elaborate work containing the re-
suits of his studies and researches.
Under the circumstances, the greater
part of this manuscript was lost. He
was a man of versatile talents, had
been an editor, lecturer, public speak
err, and was a member of the Minneso-
ia State senate in 1861. He was buried
where he fell, in front of q trading
house door, and the society has erect
ed an appropriate monument over his
grave.
In 1868, the Indian who >11led Mr..
Lynd was captured in what is now
North Dakota by the scouts under Mai.
Joseph r. Brown. His Indian name
was Waukon Wasechon Heiyadin,
meaning One Who Travels Like a
Scared White Manor one who walks
like missionary. He was taken to

dian prisoners were confined, and died
in prison the following year.
The society marked with tablets and
markers" the former sites of trading
houses at the Agency, the house where
the Indians captured were tried for
murder, rape and robbery, Chief Little
Crows house, and the site of Camp
Pope, about two miles west of Red
wood Falls.
The Lower Agency was located on
the high bluff bank of the Minnesota
river. A road had been graded down
the bluff and led across the river to
Fort Ridgely and the country below.
The river was crossed by ferry. The
north ferry landing was the scene of
the ambuscade of Capt. Marsh and his
company Company B, Fifth Minnesota
Volunteers) on the afternoon of the
first day of the outbreak, when the
captain and twenty-three of his mon
were killed and five, wounded. This
affair is called in history the Battle of
Redwood Ferry, and to mark the
scene, the society erected a substantial
granite monument with an appropriate
inscription. ~s.,'.
