FOR snERIFF.

The Elder will run. The champion
farm machinery man Of the age will strug-
gle for the nomination of Sheriff. He will
go into the County Convention with the
farming community and large portion
of the city, at his back. He expects to
dictate the convention in q way that
will be astonishing to all opposing fac
tions. The Elder has strength and he
knows how to use, it. He has friends and
like the "pickrel candidate" for congress,
he has always stood by them. He has
q kind, frank way with him, which, al
though perhaps not at all times admirable,
is certainly exceedingly commendable. If
he ever gets to be Sheriff, he will attend
to the duties Of that Office with the same
energy that he now attends to his own
business. .
The Alert is very much in favor of Mr..
1nman's nomination, and if the voters of
stutsman county do their duty at the peo-
Piles convention on the evening of the 1st
they will see that he gets it. We want a
man for the Office of Sheriff who lives in
town where he can be used when wanted.
We do not need sheriff very often, but
when we do want one, we want him bad.
We have gone unprotected long enough.
Not because we wanted to, but because we
could not help ourselves.
A. KcKechnie will also come up for re-
election. He has, so he says, patent on
the office, and proposes to have it renewed.
Mac. has made good officer. He don't
have much to say. He is 'close mouthed :"
but when he does talk he means business.
The greatest possible objection to Mac.
is his place Of residence. He lives too
far from town and his Office. It takes q
boy and mule two hours and halt to
get him here if wanted. The result is, it
is too late to do anything when he does
come. Notwithstanding all these things,
Mac. will not prove an cary man to beat in
the convention or at the polls. He has
not half dozen enemies in Stutsman
county. H. was one of the first men to
settle here, and knows = thing or two
about the ''lay Of the land" BE has his
stakes Get and proposes to 60 to them.
The Alert proposes to to support the
man who gets the nomination, since both
are good men.

SETTLED.

The result of the Sioux Falls Cenven.
tion settles it. Mr.. Pettigrew is certain
to be our next Representative in Congress.
The democrats sho we'd themselves to be a
set Of genuine asses, Us is their custom to
do upon such occasions. Maratta would
have carried Northern Dakota aud posi-.
bly, the Southern portion would have
given him handsome vote. Mr.. Nc.
Cormick is a~gentleman but there is no
congressional timber in him. The Bis.
marck Tribune gives vent to the follow.
ing:
''Maratta, above all others, for strength,
should have been nominated. Failing to
secure him, Black Hills man should have
been taken up. "Whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad, or bewilder
so they do not know what they are about
In this case the mountain labored and
brought forth very pretty little mouse,
about as useful as q candidate as an old
maids petted lap dog would be for bear
hunting. The democratic nomination,
considered as. a compliment was be-
slowed on very worthy gentleman, but
even Back would have been better, from a
business point Of view, because better
known in the democratic communities"
As it is, Mr.. Pettigrew is the man for
Stutsman county, and the Alert will do
all it can toward electing him. Petit.
grew is no fool and it he does not help US
he will not dare do US harm. The proba.
bilitles a1e that he will do all he can
for Us.

EDlTORIAL NOTES.

The democratcs nominated w. L. Nc
Corm,ck, Of Grand Forks as delegate from
Dakota in Congress. Who is he:
L B. Minor is talked Of as being very
f3t man for the Office County Treasurer
Mr.. NJ. is certainly very capable man.
1t is quite laughablc to see prominent
democrats of this place cunning around
town trying to find some one who has ever
heard Of Mr.. Mccormick.
Minor, ,Vennum's confidential friend and
present clerk, will play dark horse in the
County Convention Vennum thinks that
if he cannot be County Clerk, he can at
least be dog, and Minor would be kind
and indulgent master. So says gossip.
That there will be fierce fight made
by Mr. Vennum to secure the nomination
for Register of Deeds and County Clerk
is already settled fact. In the language
of this wholly unworthy official, Il am
goiEg in, in some shape In other words,
he proposes to gain the nomination by
fraud, if not obtainable by fair means.
Now We believe it to be the duty of every
citizen of Stutsman county to come to
the convention and vote If the
majority of the legal voters of
Stutsman county are satisfied with Mr..
Vennum, and want him to be his own sue.
cessor, We would like to know it.
Judge Barnes in late speech has a
great deal to say about the Alert in
the way of abuse, because it did
not take Mr.. Petiigrew down, head and
heels, as soon as he was nominated. The
Judge.forgets that the Alert is not par
ty organ, and that it has legitimate
right to labor in the interests of whom it
sees fit. Stutsman county happens to be
as much democratic as it is republican,
and although it is likely that the repub.
lican will carry it, 1t is not impossible to
defeat them. We think that it would be
more in accordance with the eternal fitness
of things for the good Judge to speak the
truth if he speaks at all, concerning this
locality. as it only makes Mr.. Pettigrcw's
chances for gaining this county more i'm
probable when it is represented to them
that he has nothing to do here. There
must be d.aw from either the republi-
cans or the democrats in order to give
majority to either. There is not ten votes
Difference and we can prove it.

The Maine Election.
DAVIS ELECTION CERTAIN.

A special to the Pioneer Press dated
the 18th, says from advices received at Re.
publican headquarters it is rendered abso.
lutely certain that Davis is elected in
Maine. This view of the case calls for re-
gret on account Of the large amount of
Democratic oratory and whisky wasted on
the jollifcation on Tuesday night, when
orators, foreign an domestic, claimed 400
majority for Plaisted. Among other dis
patches received at headquarters to day
was one from Blaine saying: I'VE have
elected Gov. Davis by handsome plural
ity." The committee have also further
advices which render it certain that the
Fusion electoral ticket will fall behind
the Republican ticket at least 5000 votes.
There are hundreds Of men, and their
names are known, whe voted for Plaisted
but will not vote for the Hancock electoral
ticket, 10 matter under what disguise it il
cloaked. Besides, prominent Greenback-
ers here, who are in close communication
with their brethren in Maine, say posi-
lively that there will be straight Green
back electoral ticket in Maine. This of
course, will draw from the Fusionists.
Counting all those elements in the situa-
tion, the republicans at headquarters have
no more doubt Of the electoral vote of
Maine than they have Of Vermont's vote.
The feeling Of Republicans at headquar-
ters grows better, and many of
them agree that the Maine disaster
was good thing, after all, Us
Maine is not lost, and the country is
roused.
