THE plurality of Cleveland in New

weeks ago we said he would have
1900 and the canvass by the county
boards show that we only missed it
200. The Democrats have struggled
for the last twenty-four years to gain
control of the government and have
at last succeeded by the aid and as
sistance of the so-called Independent
Republicans and prohibitionists-the
first a party of muggards, the second
y party of fanatics. With them the
responsibility for the defeat of that
statesman and leader, James G.

Register Rea, OF the Bismarck
Land office, returned yesterday from
his trip west as far as Dickinson,
where he gave a lecture Oh the bene-
fits to be derived from Il reduction in
the price Of government land to
$l.25 per acre. Mr.. Rea was met by
Tribune reporter last evening with
the following result:
"How's Dickinson! Good town."
"First rate. Yes, it is. Good
country too, plenty of coal and Il bene-

road builder Ross, Of Canada, hailed

up. Over that country the change is
as marked and more sudden than the
evolution in the Red river valley.
