Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, D.T. [N.D.]) 1878-1884, 1882-11-03

The welfare of Burleigh county demands
that Mr.. Griffin shall never become treas
urer, and that Richards ehall be defeated for
register of deeds. The gang must go.
COMMODORE s. B. Cou1soN has been nomi-
mated for the territorial council at Yankton
by citizens meeting. The commodore is a
democrat, but stated that he would vote for
Raymond. -. ;i4,.......-f ..,..~.,..
Po11r1cs does indeed make strange bedfel-
lows. 1t is safe 10 Bet that every vicious, di-
lapidated old bum in the city hates the TR1-
BuNE. Yet there are few reputable citizens
and property holders who will vote with them
next Tuesday.
Or Capt. Raymond's speech in Huron a
few nights ago the daily Leader says: "Cap-
tain Raymond modestly makes no preten-
tions to oratory, but his speech last night
impressed his auditors with the belief that
he can express his thoughts in the most elo-
Quent terms"
WHEREVER there is an abuse existing in any
community, however strongly intrenched,
which is frightening away intending settlers
and otherwise damaging that community g
''boom," the plain duty of the journalist is
to tear down the scarecrOw and make 1t
powerless for further injury. r..
The TRIBUNE humbly believes it has done
some pretty fair work for the county of Bur-
leigh in the past in the way of advertising its
advantages and recommending it as a place
of abode to the people Of the east. It tdoesn't
propose to lie down and lot the ring neutral
ize the good effects of its labors.
TIE TRIBUNE is fighting for the right and
against the wrong; for honest government
against dishonest government; for the agri-
cultural and legitimate business interests of
this community; for health and against dis
ease; for immigration and the prosperity OF
Bismarck as against ring rule and slow de-
cay. Which side are You on!
THERE are persons in this community who
have criticised the course of the TRIBUNE,
saying it dare not attack ''the ring" They
have professed to entertain an extraordinary
desire for honest government. Now let them
come to the front like men and demonstrate
the sincerity of their professions by voting
for and working for the Citizens ticket.
WHEN surgeon has malignant ulcer to
deal with he cuts it open, and lets out the
poisonous and diseased matter. He is not
deferred from his purpose by the consldera-
ton that people will see that there was dis
ease there. He knows that healing and health
will come to the man all the sooner for such
heroic treatment. The TRIBUNE is engaged
just now in alittle surgical work.
SPEAKING of the TR1BUNE's fight the Man
dan Pioneer says: The surgeon must cut
deep to eradicate cancer which has fastened
=, itself upon the body; and the TRIBUNE is the
moral surgeon who is trying to heal the
social and political body of Burleigh county.
Either the TR1BUNE's surgery must prevail,
or social and commercial death awaits /, our
trans-Missouri neighbors. -.
The Fargo Evening Post remarks: An ex-
change rises up to remark that Dakotais the
banner country of all America, and we should
smile to coincide. !. Just examine her record;
look at her unctuous soil fairly dripping with
richness; look at her heavy crops, as reported
by the threshers; look at her immense hay
crop, stacked at an average expense OF VI :5O
per ton look at her vast resources, everything
necessary to build up q powerful common
wealth; look at her Intelligent people, the
enterprise, ambition and nerve of the older
settled communities. We are opening up
the finest part of the American continent.
