Tho Democratio and Dr. Wight's State Uonventions, How M.

Spectal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Miravavkze, Bopt. 17, 1878, Unlike the quality of wino, and contrary to tho Liopos of many, our Republican Stato tiokot DOES NOT INPIOVE WITH AGE, From tho bogluning, it hos boon apparont that, for the most pott, it was not of & flavor to suit tho Republican tasto, aud aigus of loathing hava boen visible on ovory hand. Lo ho sure, tho Jonding Ropublican jourusls of the Stato put on a faco of satistaction, and make & protenso of being dolighted with their now tickot ; but tholr efforts to scom pleased are excoedingly ruoful, and thelr Alsgust i but il disguised, In fact, it is impoeeivlo for thom to help emitting occa- slonal notea of sedition. 'Washburn s the Atlas who bins to shoulder the whole oncern, and fortunato it is for tho Ropublican party of this Siato that his shouldors sre sufficiently brond to support it. Such is the supremo confi- danco folt by tho peoploin the nomination of Mr, Waghburn, that they aro mensurably rec- onciled—or, nt any rate, arc_indifforont—to at Joaut onc-hnlf of the ticket, all of which will no doubt bo olected, unless o except tho CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOT, about whoso election his friends entortain & good donl of apprehonsion, Nor aro their scrnples by suy moans groundless. The chiof aobjection 1o Mr, Daker is to bo found in the ro- lation ho holds to tho Milwaukee & St. Paul Roilrond Company, snd that fs sanifostly objcction enough. It is notorious that tho Milwsukeo & 8t. Paul folks oxerted their wholo influenco to offcet the nomination of Mr, Bakor, aud that thoy aro mow bringing thoir wholo force to bear to insura his olection, Is it to be presumed that this Com- Jhny is thus putting forward ita reprosentative for thowecond offlce in tho Stale withont any ultorior purposo? And is it not obvious that its purposo is to entrench itsolf in tho very citadel of authority in Wisconsin? The Lioutenaut- Govornor, us Prasident of the Benate, oxorcisos functions of no inconsiderablo consoquence. Tt meed mnot bo explainod that the pro- siding oficer of A logiutative Lody has it in hiy powoer to ewbstrass and influenco logistation by o varioty of oxpedients. In the Honate, lagt winter, Mr, Bokor's course was cer- tainly such as to morit the untire confidenco and spprobation of tha MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL PEOP LE; and thoro ia not the least roason to doubt that, in the cnpacity of Lioutonant-Governor, uo would fully justify tho expectations of that cor- poration. Moreover, there la now connected with the oftico of Licutenant-Governor a well andorstood contingoney that does not lessen its importanco in the oyes of railroad circles. Tho entire influonce of at least one rajlrond corpora- tion in this Stote will be brought to bear in support of Mr, Baker; which fact alono ought ot onco to determino _tho courso ‘of thoke who are aiming to curb its powor sud to restrain tho protonsious of railroad mo- nopolice.

The history of Democracy iu Wiscousin, with all its dofnlcations, ombozzlemonts, frauds, and gonoral riotousuces, is o page not to be forgot- ton in this goneration ; and for those who now Liavo chargo of its eutato to ot up for ministora of hionasty i8 » ploco of assurance that none but your thoroughly calloused and brass-facod Dorm- oeratio politician would have tho hardihood to commit. In fuct, nothiu% could more effectuslly indicate the utter hypooriuy aund pothingness of 1l this anti-monopoly flourish than the contempt jn which (hose who aro sounding it hold Tng Tuisyse's advice to them to nominato Gov.

From Our Own Correspondent, Winp Riven MounTANg, Sopt. 10, 1873, Thie nights aro beginning to got cool up I8 this mountain-region, and overything Lospoaks tho approacli of P ¢ AUTUMN WEATHER. 7 The nights aro longthening, and a delightful fooling of cosinces comes’ over overy ono who Ling o snug house and warm rodm wherein to pass tho timo, Tho tints on tho hill-sides are changing to brown and russet, and-tho higher poaka rocelving n frosh covoring of snow, which brings out in- bold rolief the long gorges and hugo chesms. The great outlines seom to put on & bolder front, and frown down upon tho low- lands strotching miles and miies to tho eant- ward. The rocka asaumo s groator prominonco; tho loaves on tho troos and bushes aro changing color; and the fow yollaw fowers loft are droop- ng and fading away, Tho grasses ‘aro turning yollow, and the sage-brush has s blutsh, silvery appearanco, as £ it had boon nipped by frost. It appoars almost a8 if wo mnovor would get ovor our Indian troublos again, and thero have boon so many seares that many pooplo, havo lost hoart, 4 ALLOFTHE WIITE WOMEN— , with, I believo, ono excoption—havo loft tho Wind River Valloy, ana gone off where thoy feol 8nfe from tho inroads of tho Sioux, and thoir al- lies, tho Arapahoes and Choyennos. 1t scoma protty hard to soo this exodus of whito womon ; but, in the prosent unsottlod state of affairs in Northwestern Wyoming, it is probably tha wisost courso they could pursue. I do not apprchend any immediaste danger, but thoro is no quostion tho savages ‘‘mesn businens,” and - intond to break up . tho..sottlomonts, unloss they aro well guarded and protocted. The continual strain upon tho norvous systom is what tho fomalos canuot stand. Thoy must have their full timo to rest in spirit, undisturbed by Indian alarms or threstonings of Indisn raids. This soagon has apparently boen the most sovere of any experionced in Wyoling sinco it was or- gonized ss a Torntory, and bLas retardod its progress very materially. Tho farmora who had thofr stock stolon by the Bicux are roplneing it a8 best thoy can, and ondesvoring to save their crops, in order to have something 10 live on during tho approaching winter. Tho Bioux look upon the Bhoshonco or Bnako Indian resorvas tion with deadly hatred, snd will do overything thoy can to cause disturbanco thoreon. v 1t i roported that tho Bnakes wore robbed of 2 considorablo number of their animale by thoir onemios on & rocont occaslon, and, boing fow in number, woro unable to follow, them, aa tho ‘main body of Sunke warrlors snd hunters were in tho mountains hunting, Atior.a timo, how- ovor, they roturned from their hunt, and then ALL NANDS STARTED OUT for the land of the Sioux. etratod their country a8 far as the suwnmits of tho Powder River range of mountains. Krom that placo & reconnoitering party of ton was sont down tho sides of tho mountain to aacertain the position and strongth of their eno- mics, snd, if possible, capture s fowlend of horses, In ashort time they returned, and ro- ported that tho Sioux were thore in grent num- bers, and it was utterly out of tho question for the 150 Bnakes to attack them. It is alao sald that four Bioux warslors visited the Bnake camp during the night.. Undor the ciroumstances, tho Snakes made tho hast of thoir way back to their homoes on the Little Wind River, whero thoy are in constant dread of another visit from the hated Bioux, who are thio moat accomplished horse- thieves and cut-throats of any Iudian tribe in ex- istenco, Tho fear of Indisns, on the frontier, is wide- n)[;ruud,—-u.\o Biqux having this summor attacked tho Pawnees, tho sottlers in tho Wind Rivoer Val- loy, and Gon. Custor's commaud on the Big Horn Rivor. Those differont attacks, in Jocalt- tios remato from one anather, show that thete Indisne are tired of thoir go-called poacoful lifo, and are ANTIOUS TO RE AT WAR © with the whites, whom thoy balioyo- thoy can whip iu overy engagoment. Biuce. the frightful masgacra of Awerican goldiera at Fort Phil Kearney, in Decombaer, 1866, the Sioux hold the dtatas’ o chonp enemy to fight, and_boliove they can insult them in any way thoy chooso with uttor impunity, This_is" cortainly a sad alate of things for tho peoplo on the frontier, who aremade to suffor untold hardships by those red miscrosnts. It is impossiblo at this time to siate how many whito poople liave boen murdered Ly tlie Sloux during the past summer. Whorovor they go tholr mar} ia loft in blood, and but little damage hea boen dono to thom in retalistion,. Thoy are tho moat powerful tribg on the Continent,~ being divided into twelve bands, and numbering more than 20,000 Bouig, 'They are braye and hardy, inured to all the discomforts of war aud tho chaso, and always ready to atrike a blow at tho whites, whenever and Whorever & good opportunity offers itgolf. .
