Ex"rts Of the People to Overcome tho
Power Of the Ring-McKeuzie's Desperate
Struggle.
Correspondence Press and Ddkotaian.
Bismarck, Dak., Nov. Stu Burleigh
county the campaign was peculiar one.
The democratic organization seemed to
be controlled by the Mckenzie influence
to such an extent that no democratic
ticket was placed in the field. The demo.
cratic candidate for congress who went
to that democratic stronghold. in the
course OF his canvass, was not allowed to
make speech lest the democratic spirit
should be aroused and the trade made
by Mckenzie at Pierre should be inter-,
ferred with in some manner. A ticket
that was neither democratic or repnbli-
can was agreed upon in private caucus
and published in the Tribune as the
peoples ticket. Delegates we're then
elected to the republican convention and
enough proxies we're picked up by the
Mckenzie crowd to force the endorse
meut Of this ticket from top to bottom
without giving opportunity to vote
upon the merits Of any one candidate
separately, and without giving opportu-
nifty to present the names, even, of per-
sons aspiring to the nominations. Col.
Lounsberry denounced the proceedings
from the start, and finally went on to .
ticket for sheriff against MoK Kenz,e, with
John A. Mclean against Richards for
register Of deeds; John @. Hollen.
back against Stoyell for district
attorney, etc. The republican conven.
tion was purposely delayed 20 ~ to pre-.
vent effective opposition and yst
although this ticket Was but five days in
the aeld It received about one th,rd o.

II Congressman Willis is correctly re-
ported in the Republican this morning, his
reasons for advocating tho extension two
years for the payment to the Government
by the whisky distillers are certainly
anomalous. First, he says, "tho whisky
men don't ask for dollar of the Govern
ment's money "They dong ask to be re-
lieved from any debt due the Government"
Why don't they pay the tax on the whisky
in bond, then, and not be coming to Cou-
gress asking an extension of time in which
to pay the Government what is due? But Of
all the reasons ever advanced for not paying
debt the following one, advanced by Mr..
Willis, is certainly the most remarkable.
He says
The Government has plenty OF money, and
II Is going on long and dangerous Journey
through Congress 70 the next election, and
are oing to Try all sorts Of ways to get tnat
surplus money out OF the Treasury.
Because tho Government has plenty of
money Mr.. Willis thinks Congress ought to
extend to the whisky distillers two years
more time. Suppose every interest upon
which tax Is paid to support the Govern

extension of time in which to pay ITS
taxes, how long would it be before there
would be no money in the Treasury to pay
anything Is not the honorable gentle
man from Kentucky little mistaken,
though, when he says the whisky men do
not ask the Government to give them a
dollar? Is not money worth some
thing to the Government They ask to be
relieved from paying the taxes now due on
73,000,000 gallons ia round numbers for
two years. The tax on whisky is ninety
cents per gallon annually. The tax on
100000 for two years would be $751;.
100000, the use Of which the Govern
ment would be without, saying nothing
about interest. And yet Mr.. Willis says
they are not asking the Government tc
give them anything.
