THE MSMOCBATIC-KKPUIlIJtCAN
TICKET.
While the ticket selected by the
Democratic-Republican Convention
Monday is not in all respects as good
as it might have been, yet in view of
the fact that of the seven candidates
nominated four were taken from the
Republican ticket, we feel that we
would lay ourselves open to the
charge of ingratitude should we not
allow this generous endorsement to go
far in mitigation of what was not so
well done.
Mr. M. Gans, the nominee for
Treasurer, is now about finishing his
second term, and he has done his du
ty so well and so faithfully that the
Republicans consideied him deserv
ing of a third term. I this view
our Democratic friends sensibly con
curred and will assist us in re-elect
ing him.
Mr. John Zapp has been Register
of Deeds for nearly fourteen years,
and has been so uniformly courteous
and obliging in his official intercourse
with the people that the Republicans
decided he should be retained for
at least two years longer. The Demo
cratic Convention unanimously en
dorsed this decision.
a majority of more than
three to one Capt. W Collins, the
Republican nominee for County At
torney, was selected for the same
place on the Democratic ticket.
Capt C. has twice been elected to this
office, and his nomination by both
parties now is an evidence that he
discharged its duties in a manner em
inently satisfactory to the people of
the county.
Mr. M. P. Noel has been County
Surveyor for lo these many years.
The Republican Convention did not
believe there was another man who
could fill the place quite so well, and
herein the Democracy .again sensibly
concurred.
It would have been well if the Con
vention had kept right along and en
dorsed the entire Republican ticket,
but when it came to Sheriff it took a
departure and nominated Mr. George
Geissel, the present incumbent. So
long as the Convention had decided
upon doing this thing, we feel bound
to say that it could not have found a
better man in the party. Mr. Geis
sel has made a capable Sheriff, and
if he were only a Republican we
should be glad to see him re-elected.
For Judge of Probate Mr. Peter
Brick, the present County Attorney,
was nominated. This is very unsat
isfactory to many Democrats, who
feel that Judge Evans was deserving
of a renomination. There will be a
large defection, rendering certain the
election of Mr. B. Searle, the Re
publican nominee, who is in every
way qualified for the position, and
whom it would have the part of
wisdom for the Convention to have
taken.
Mr. Barney Overbeck has been
Coroner of Stearns county for thethis
better part of the last quarter-centu
ry, and the Convention, knowing that
the Republicans had decided upon
making a change this year, thought
it only fair that Barney himself
should furnish the first corpse for
Deacon Bennett to "sit upon."
But, as we have already said, the
ticket is, in the main, the very best
that could have been selected. I it
had been filled out entirely from the
Repcblican ticket it would have been
unexceptionable. But the people will
elect the other three candidates whom
the Convention failed to endorse, so
that, in the end, the result will be the
same.

INDIAN CHEEK.
The eouncil at the Black Hills
will amount to nothing. Besides an
attempt by treachery to murder the
commissioners, as Gen. Canby and
associates were murdered by thethe
Modocs, the chiefs make the most ex
travagant demands for the cession of
the Black Hills. They want the
President to give every Indian a house,
farm, wagon, horse, cattle, tools, gun
and ammunition, besides the insigni
ficant sum of seventy million dollars.
There are innumerable things which
they say shall be done and shall not
be done. W are opposed "to giving
these modest Children of the Setting
Sun any guns or ammunition, but we
would favor an unlimited appropria
tion for furnishing every one of them
with a gilt-edged coffin and a squad of
soldiers to see him put into it.

INDIAN MURDER.
JOHN WRIGHT SHOT, AN1 HOR
KIBJLY MUTllATEB.
Word was received here Monday
that Mr. John Wright while herding
cattle about four miles north of Bis
marck, D.T., had been shot Thursday
by Indians and 100 head of cattle
run off. I company with George
Lewis, of this city, he was herding
some 600 head of cattle belonging to
Clark and Whitney, the government
contractors. Lewis, who was some
two miles distant, heard the shot.
The following dispatch to the Minne
apolis Tribune gives full particulars:
Bismarck, T., Sept. 27.—John
Wright's body was buried in the
church yard here yesterday (Sunday.)
There was a large attendance at the
funeral, with- no special mourners,
but a feeling of sadness pervaded the
whole community, and all attending
the funeral ceremony followed the
body to the grave. I was found
about ten miles north of Bismarck.
While sitting on a rock near a
wooded ravine, the Indians crept up,
it is believed, and shot him, the ball
passing from the rear just below the
right ear. rac about fifty yards,
when he appears to have been shot
through the head, the ball coming o.it
at the left temple. Hi head was
then split open with a tomahawk and
his forehead crushed with the butt of
a gun. was then partially turned
over and hay and brush piled on his
bowels and fired, brvning that part of
his person to a crisp. Hi clothing
being woolen he was not burned, ex
cept where the fire rested. After cut
ting three deep gashes with a knife
which they left by his side, and plant
ing a coo, or challenge to follow if his
friends dare, near the body, the Indi
ans left, taking a southeasterly course
for their agency at Standing Rock,
The cattle were stampeded, a hun
dred or more of them, but toward the
camp, and so the Indians got away
with none, as it now seems, though
they took his pony.
The murder occurred Thursday.
The news reached Bismarck Friday
night. Saturday a general hunt for
the body was made, and early Sunday
morning a detachment of the Seventh
Cavalry, commanded by Colonel
Yates, accompanied by Major
Lean, Harry Douglas and other citi
zens, took the trail, and at last ac
counts were following it toward Stand
ing Rock. Two other companies of
the Second Cavalry struck a trail on
the west side of the river, nearly op
posite the scene of the murder, which
they were also following to the same
agency.
A courier from Col. Yates came in
this morning, who left the command
nearly opposite Fort Rice. Col. Yates
had given orders for an all-night ride
and expected to strike the Indians this
morning. The Indians are supposed
to be from Two Bears' camp at Stand
ing Rock.
Mr. Wright lived here for a num
ber of years and was a* young man
generally esteemed in the community.
was about thirty years of age and
unmarried. The family lived at
Dayton, Otter Tail county, at the
time of the Indian massacre of 1862,
and one of the brothers was then kill
ed by the red devils, and another, Ed
win M., was severely wounded. In
-community a very strong feeling
in favor of the "peace policy" pre
vails. It would secure peace by wip
ing out of existence every accursed
Indian belonging to any hostile tribe
or band.
LATEST.—Col. Weir has returned
to Bismarck, unsuccessful in his hunt
after the Indian murderers of Mr.
Wright.
FOREIGN MABKETS,
The Mark Lane Express of Mon
day has the following review of thestorm
corn market for the week: With
abundant importations, prompted by
the unfavorable aspect in July, and
generally successful gatherings, the
course of prices has been further
downward, say from 1 to 2 shillings,
and though we see no cause for an
immediate reaction, we think the re-numerous.
luctance of farmers to sell, with the
firmness of foreign holders, may check
further downward movement.
The present depressions are more to
be attributed to immense foreign ar
rivals than anything else, but we may
expect a speedy falling off in these
supplies, and some reaction in prices
because none of the export markets
have been reduced in like proportion
to England. -In Belgium the decline
has stopped. It is much the same in
Holland, while some German mark
ets show higher rates, though St.
Petersburgh has shown some reduc
tion, and as every quarter which has
recently been placed in granary will
be needed, it is but reasonable to ex
pect better prices will be paid as the
season advances. The general aver
age, which represents the business of
a fortnight back, is higher than last
year by 1 shilling 11 pence, but trans
actions at the present time will about
bring rates to a level.
SUCH of our business men as have
been in the habit of keeping $2,816
or some such matter in their safes
will do well to be careful in the fu
ture. Wednesday night burglars en
tered the store of Marcus Johnson,
at Atwater, in this State, made an
opening in the safe door with a rail
road pick, blew the door open and
rifled the safe of, all the currency
and checks, amounting to $2,816.
No clue whatever has yet been ob
tained of the burglars—how they
come or left town

A PEACEFCX VICTORY.
News comes from Washington that
only $28,000,000 of the new 5 perfor
cent bonds remain in the Treasury.
All. the rest of the $500,000,000 issue
has been subscribed for and sold.
Ere long, the insignificant remnant
remaining will be taken. The placing
of those bonds will then have enabled
the Secretary of the Treasury to re
deem an equal amount of the 6 per
cents. This saving in annual inter
est will amount to 1 per cent, on
$500,000,000, or $5,000,000. Th
people are freed from a yearly tax of
this amount. This is a notable illus
tration of the fact that honesty is the
best policy. The law which enabled
the Secretary of the Treasury to prac
tically fund the 6 per cents in 5s by
selling the latter and using the gold
thus got to redeem the former was
vigorously opposed by many Demo
cratic Congressmen. They argued
that the country ought to cheat its
creditors by redeeming the 6
per2,253.
cents in greenbacks, then worth any
where from 85 to 88 cents on the
dollar. But this Republican meas
ure has enabled us to keep perfect
faith with our creditors, and yet save
more money than we would have done
by paying the bonds in legal-tenders.
For the average time the new 5 per'
cents will run before payment will be
at least twenty years, and the saving
in interest, each year, is 1 per cent,
on the whole amount. The total
saving, therefore, will be 20 per cent,
so that we will practically redeem
the old 5.20 bonds at a cost of 80 per
cent. If we had taken Democratic
advice, and paid out greenbacks in
stead of gold in exchange for the
bonds, the cost would have been from
85 to 88 per cent, instead of 80 we
should have broken a solemn pledge
and our credit would have sunk so
low that in all probability we should
not have been able to negotiate a sin
gle bond in Europe for years to come.
Honesty has been the best policy.—
Chicago Tribune.
A NEST OV IXBELS.
The Grand Jury in the United
States Court at Bismarck, T.,
has returned four indictments
for libel. One against John J. Jack
man, United States Court Commis

Bismarck in representing through the
Minneapolis Tribune that they had
been held for trial for stealing Gov
ernment grain, whereas their arrest
came from conflict ofjurisdiction, and
the cases were not even presented to
the Grand Jury. The second was
against James A Emmons, for cor
respondence of the Alleghany (Pa.)
Mail, concerning the transactions of
persons he designated as pirates and
post-traders of the Upper Missouri.
The third is against M. Edgerly,
for issuing a handbill -defamatory of

ACADEMY OF MUSIC,

Thursday, October 21st, 1875.

Sewing Machine Agents and Canvassers 25 per cent,
for selling musical instruments, I propose the ex
periment of offering a stock of first-class Pianos
and Organs at public sale, believing those wishing
to purchase will gladly accept the 25 per cent, dis
count, always paid by them extra bought of such
agents or canvassers. The stock consists of 12 Pi
anoi and 20 organs.

equal monthly payments from date of sale. 10 per
Cent, deduction Will be made on the balance (three
fourths) if paid in cash. We have in stock a few
Pianos and Organs very little, used, which will

ars, Accordeons, Flutes, and other small goods, from
the stock recently bought of 8. E.Ives.
