Morris tribune., 1880-10-28

of his hand writing Respectable journals
of both parties, denounce the publication
and letter rs cowardly and infamous.
Owing to the fact that some of the Indi
ans from the Sisseton agency. have been
seen in the streets of Browns Valley in a
beastly state of intoXicstion, the Reporter
warns the parties guilty of furnishing the
liquor to beware of the consequences The
warning is u timely one, for the govern
ment deals harshly and vigorously with
those who are found guilty of this crime,
and evidently wishes it distinctly under
stood that 1.-THE government-has legal
monopoly of this extirmination BUSINESS.
In urging the election of Messrs. Aakcr
and Helgeson to the senate and house re-
spectively, the TRIBUNE does so for sever
al good and sufficient reasons. In the first
place, the gentlemen above named are we'll
qualified to fill the responsible positions,
| fully competent to entrust with the many
important and urgent measures requiring
! legislation, and being men of good judg-
ment, sound sense, unquestionable integri
ty and untarnished regulations, we can
safely place our interests in their keeping,
as there is every assurance and guarantee
that they will be carefully guarded and adj
vanced. Then again both the gentlemen
are republicans, and the affairs of govern
meut in this state being in the hands and
under the control of the republican party,
and this district being largely republican,
they, if elected, will be in harmony with
the party in power, identified with its and
the interests of the district and state.
Thus it is important and imperative that
they be chosen and elected to represent us.
Important, as our interests Can be better
advanced and promoted, and necessary
legislation more readily secured, if we are
represented by men who arc identified and
in accord with the party in power, and
who will act for and in the best interests
of the district and state. 1t is imperative
that republicans be chosen, as there is a
United States senator to be elected this
year, and we must see to it, that we do not
endanger the interests Of the district, state
and nation by indirectly aiding in the cleo
ton of democrat. For these reasons we
favor the election of Mr. Aaker as senator
and Mr.. IleIgeson as representative, anC
| appeal to republicans and all others who
) are interested in promoting the prosperity
of the nation. the progress of the state anG
the welfare of the district, to act carefully
and guardedly, consider the danger tt
which we are exposed, and act so that YOU
may one and all feel as if you had stood
by, instead of deserving, your nation ane
colors IN the hour of peril. Tuesdays bat
tie We think decides our future as a nation
and every true republican citizen mus
stand by his party and his government.
