FARGO, Sept. 21.-There has been
fun all along the line of political aspir-
ants the past week. "Mud" has been
very deep and "slush" almost intOler-
ably nauseous. In the first place, .the
Republican boiling element, who con-
troll the Fargo Republican club, at a
meeting few days since resolved aud
whereased that there was fraud--bare-
faced fraud-in the primaries, and that
the convention which put Edwards and
his friends in nomination was a COM
pilation of fraud from stern to gudgeOn,
or words of that purpOrt. This is a
bold, bad statement to be made about
the immediate Fargo membership of
the g. O. D., which includes within its
folds the great moral, righteous people
who attend church and Sunday school;
also the temperance element, manned
by the w. G. Il. U. with an influence
which is both loved and feared. These
elements were all represented in the
convention, and these people naturally
feel indignant to learn that they are
parties to a fraud ulent convention,
and demand proof of the statement.
Thus the gentlemen
VULGARLY CALLEDoBOLTERS
are to some degree cOrnered, and must
make good their assertions of fraud or
scuttle their old craft and go to the bot
tom. To accomplish this they put their
heads together and concluded to COM
mence at the supposed fountain head of
all fraud in CaSS county politics, and
had two of the brainy editorial force OF
<I,a A For illnnol untinn n
the Third ward caucus, which elected
acknowledgements to the convention.
TO convict these parties, subp9naes
were served upon every one who was
supposed to know them, and a ID of
time was expected. One of the parties
took change of venue and was tried
BEFORE A NOMINEE
of the said convention and discharged.
The other was put on trial before the
original Justice and bound over to the
grand Jury in the sum of $3.50, with no
probability of the case ever being heard
from again. Now the result of the first
attempt to prove fraud is badly dished-
what next? Evidence must be had that
at least one or two delegates to this con-
vention were fraudulehtly elected, and
if any victims are to be had they are the
boilers meat sure. The question is be-
coming prominent now as to the policy
of pursuing this matter of fraud any
further, it being settled in the minds of
all that if there were
WICKED THINGS DONE,
they were sufficiently we'll done place
in nomination what is known as the
straight Republican ticket, the friends
and advocates of high taritfoand monOp-
oily.
And from this view of the matter
would it not be the best and surest
method to join hands and support the
ticket composed of the best men of the
county-all true and trusted citizens?
If this is done there will be no further
cause for the cry of fraud, political or
otherwise. Leave foreign issues to be
settled in the United States, while we
give our entire attention to home mat
tiers and elect the men who are placed
in nomination to defeat the methods of
the so-called straight Republican dy-
nasty.
