1 have read so much lately in your
valuable .paper from different able
writers1 oh democracy and the ac-
.Jiaa ; taxQnJby.the ] Jacksonian club ,
, andduty that true democrats owe
to the national democracy. To my
.vTiiiriS,1a"s" ari'bld democrat that has
'voted the democratic ticket ever
Vmce 1856 , my duty is plain to "me
* to standby the national platform
as adopted by the last national
denocratic : convention and the can
didate nominajteiF jtherfeon until
Hlio next democratic national con-

can cifizen's to live by that believe
in the principles of our 'forefathers

oppose the present imperial policy
as advocated and being-carried out

are favored against the interest of
the many common people , and <
thereby abolishing our free institutions - i
tutions as-a-republic , and adopting j
in its stead the rules and power of j
an empire. Now , I appeal to the <
democrats of this free America to j
stand to and abide by the platform r
adopted and the canclu luted nomi

A Crucifixion of Justice.
Dietrich goes free.
The situation is passing strange.
Charged with a monstrous breach
of official honor , affecting not his
own good name alone , but that of
a great stdte as well , he was ar
raigned for trial before a court
composed of , men of profound
learning and steadfast integrity.
But the cases were not tried up
on their merits ; his guilt or inno
cence was not1 determined. Pro
ceedings to that end were stopped
by the interposition of a purely
technical obstruction which the
court held to be effective for the
' *
purpose intended.
The letter of the law has been
upheld. There cah be no doubt
of that. But to the plain under-
j *
standing of plain men it must seem
that the spirit of ; tliei law 3ias been
crucified. The human thing called
Law ought to serve as hand maiden
to the divine thing called Eight-
eousness , but the service rendered
gro.\ys more and more questionable
great ; by year.
Isiibt much learning making us
mad ?
We have no the means nor'the
.wish , to , pronounce .JPpn thejSc-
cusedmatiisgrfiliPor innocence.
But the people , W re _ cjitfitled'j to
know tYie'trulh ? EVln ttie clear
est avasion of t1iscov-er.y .wasiupoor
and , shabby artifice and public
opinion will so regard it , though
it had the weight , of tons of law
behind it. It was'a-defeat . of the
" *
* ' - * * klV * * * fc * > > * J- *
very ends which , in the common
understanding , the law was de
signed to effect.
. Look at the matter as it stands.
-Whatever the consequences of his
acts might have been , Dietrich es
caped upon the plea that when
those acts-were done he had not
taken the oath of office and so was
not , in strict speech , a member of
the senate. , And the court looked
gravely upon the plea and pro
nounced it good.
Hereafter any man may be elect
ed a senator , may be looked apon
and honored by the people as such ,
may enjoy the high dignity of of
fice , may exercise its- " mighty in
fluence , may' be countenanced by
state and nation in his axalted
station , may use his title and his
newly bestowed voice and power
in any wayjie will , save in the ac-
tuaLancl'formab affairs of the sen
ate chamber , and yet , if he will
but postpone the taking of his
formal , oath , he may sell his pres
tige in the open market to the
.highest bidder and escape scath-

We do not question the action of
-the court , but rather the status of
a : system of' jurisprudence which
made i the ac tion inevitable. Once
the 1 question was raised , the court
could < , do nothing more or less than
what it did. \
There is something wrong with
the 1 system of jurisprudence. It
looks 1 as though there were specks
of < dacay upon it. . Shall we be
obliged to go back to the begin

The program consisted of three
bouts ; two four rounds each , and
'
one of ten rounds , and everyone

neighboring towns weraherc.
The first bout was a preliminary
between4.Kid Richardson , of Fort
Niobrara , and Kid Donivan , of
Hot Springs. At 8:45 : the two
men appeared in the ring and were
introduced by W. A. Kimbell , the
referee. Richardson looked to be
in shape but Donivan was soft and
fat , having no training at all as he
was substituted for this bout. At
8:55 : the men were given their in
structions and called to the center
of the ring.
THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
Round 1 A few seconds were
spent in long range sparring but
were not long in getting together.
Donivan feinted with right and
caught Richardson a hook on the
jaw with left. This seemed to
arouse Richardson and ho rushed
landing a fierce uppercut on Doni-
van's cheek. The men then came
into a clinch and broke clear at the
command of the referee , but a hot
rnixup followed with , honors even ,
Round 2 Both exchanged lefts
for face. Donivan rushed and'
landed a good punch in the wind ,
but on getting away slipped just
a ; Richardson caught him a ter-1
ri'ic left uppercut on the jaw.
Donivan fell like a log , but at the
count of seven was up and rushed
his man , landing a good right on
side of head , and the men were doting -
ting some fine sparring . when the
gong sounded. ' This was Richard-
son's round. '

Round 3 Both /men / came up
fresh , and immediately began busi-
ness. Richardson rushed and aim1
ed a terrific right swing at Doni-
van's jaw , but Donivan ducked.and
clinched. Then both men went at
it hammer and tongs. Donivan
rushed his man to the ropes and
landed in the wind. Richardson
winced and clinched his man 'but
they were separated arid soon got
to work apain. Richardson .got in
a couple of lefts that .jarred Doni-
van considerably. Both men were
winded at the sound of'the gong.
Honors even. , '
Round i The .men shook hands
for the final round. Both rushed
into a clinch and' pounded away , at
each other. ' The referee warned
them for striking ina , clinch.
Richardson let drive with his left
but Donivan-stopped it and landed
a terrific uppercut oh Richardson's , .
wind and' again * smashed ; , liini on'
the head ; Richardson -clinched.
Donivan .was puffing badly . andVl
Richardson seemed to be the fresher -
er , 'but Donivan' showed be.tter
generalship here arid landed right
and left on body. Richardson 'J
rushed and Donivan clinched' , on t
the break both landed light lefts , t
Donivan feinted and hit his man a-1
hard uppercut , on the jaw as the-t
round closed. Donivan's round. j-J

which seemed to please the crowd. * c

tween Dillard and'Johnson , ' both i
from Ft. 'Niobrara * 'This was a a
slugging 'match 4'rom start to finI
ish. Both men were game and a
took considerable punishment , j t
Johnson vknqcked his , man out , in s
the 4th round. Neither man . .disa
played much science but their slugging - L
ging seemed to please the crowd , a

taking the northwest corner , anc
I3rown the southeast corner. Ire

Hays and Richardson. Dpuivan
and Wonton looked after Brown.
As the men stepped to the center
of the ring for instructions it was
evident i that Ireland was consider
able i heavier than Brown , and when
the ; men were introduced they were
given a great ovation. Time was
called i at 9:30. :
