Gen. Fairchild's Confidence.

Gen. Lucius Fairchild spent
few hours in Milwaukee on Satur-
day on his way to Madison, where
he will take a much needed rest
for a week before resuming his
work on the political platform.
The General made a number Of
speeches in Maine prior to the
state election and has been address
ing crowded meetings in Indiana
since the close of the Columbus
encampment. In reply to ques-
tons respecting the political
prospects he said emphatically: Il
am sure that if the election was to
be held within the next week or
two, Gen. Harrison would carry
his own state by 10000 majority.
All the political signs are favorable
to sweeping Republican victory
not only in Indiana, but in all the
Northern states. In New York
Senator Miller predicts confidently
the success of the national ticket
by a handsome majority. He
does not expect his own majority
to be as large as Gen. Harrison's
for the reason that Gov. Hill has
won the support of the liquor
interest for his personal benefit,
Republicans as well as Democrats.
In Indiana our meetings were
thronged and the Republicans full
of enthusiasm. The Prohibition
lists there, as in Maine, yield their
peculiar tenets to the paramount
issue of the national campaign
and abandoning the third party
movement. Yes, everything is
looking very favorable this year.
There is no reason why it should
not grow better and better in
October.

| am in favor Of the abolition Of
the whole internal revenue system,
with its army of spies and office
holders and political bummers,
and thus relieving the people from
public nuisance in the way Of
administration and from taxation
which we all know whatever dis
pute there may be about who
bears the principal weight of the
customs duties is a tax upon the
people of the United States, and |
include whisky in this abolition
for the reason that it cannot
remain under taxation without the
same army of officeholders, and
without really aiding, as it now
does largely, whisky interests and
whisky trusts rather than discour-
aging them. | desire that what
ever revenue is obtained for liquor
and the liquor traffic shall be
obtained by the states themselves
and go directly into their treasures
for the building of prisons for
violators of the laws, and provid-
ing for those-as the states only
may-whom the evils of the liquor
traffic have made homeless and
desolate.-T Senator Edmunds.

which in no uncertain way pro-
nounces for America first, last and
all of the time, are in themselves
towers of strength; but they are
not the sources of strength. The
party was never better differed
than it is to-day. The very pearl
of political chieftains stands at the
head of the mighty Republican
column, pointing the way to
victory. Picked men have been
chosen as chairmen Of the central
committees, and they are leaving
nothing undone to demolish
democratic Notifications and make
prisoners of the enemy.
A few weeks more and the bugle
will sound for the final change.
Between now and then no Repub-
lican should allow moment to be
wasted. Recruit, drill, solidify,
enthuse and get into line for the
shock of November's battle. 1t is
the most important political con-
test since that of 1860. Defeat for
the Republicans now will mean a
blow for America which will SO
stun the Republic that Free Trade
may make a plaything Of it.
Defeat now will mean a victory for
the lovers of the confederacy SO
great and so complete that they
will forget their defeat at Apo
mattox. 1t means more than
these.
But defeat is not in store for the
Republican party. When the roll
is called on the 9th of November,
the always loyal, progressive,
patriotic North will respond,
Here, solidly for Harrison, Pro
lection and America.
The Democratic party never
made a worse estimate of the
public than it did when it supposed
it had killed the Republican party
by stealing that LOO majority for
Cleveland, in New York.
Republicans, it is in your power
to make the victory so sweeping
that democracy can only hiss and
wiggle its tail for twenty years to
come. Make it such a victory

make business prosperous, and
quite as complacently charge over
to Protection all the drawbacks
and disasters by which the farmer,
the artizan, the merchant and
business generally may be over
taken. Theirs is an advocacy
made up of assertions, presistently
reiterated, without care for their
inconsistency, and in utter disre-
gard of the facts of history.
President Cleveland officially
asserts that the tariff compels
buyers of all domestic manufact-
,ures to pay nearly or quite the
same enhanced price which the
duty adds to the important
articles" This is said in face of
the fact that steel rails, with duty
of sly. per ton, and without taking
into account charges for transporta-
ton and commissions, have been
selling in New York within less
than $40. of the price in England.
The price of cotton and wooden
fabrics are frequently cited by
free traders in evidence of the
oppressiveness of Protective duties.
Against this, the present Secretary
of State has published the report
of a Consul to England, Mr. L. A,
Lathrop, in which it is said cotton
cloth and f1annels are both cheaper
in New York, Washington and
San Francisco than here
The mechanic is told that he
would fare vastly better under the
British policy than now, regardless
of this uncontroverted comparison
of average wages in the two
countries:

SOLID FOR PROTECTION.

A meeting of employees of the
Reliance Iron Works of E. P.
Allis & Co., will be held at Burn

practically decided to join a
Harrison and Morton Club, which

HUGH II. PRICE FOR SENATOR

The Sunday Telegraph in speak
ing of Hugh Price as his fathers
successor in congress speaks as
follows about him: Those who
know the son and his worth, not
only favors his nomination for that
reason, but because they know
that the son would acquit himself
to the credit of the district and
state. He is a man of more than
ordinary ability, is we'll educated,
refined, possesses marked capacity
as business man, is we'll posted
on public matters, and in all
respects is most worthy gentle
man. He is not a politician in
the common acceptation of the
term. He could not be crowded
into accepting a long term Of
service in congress, or in any
other public position, for he is
thoroughly devoted to his extern
sive business interests, which will
be rendered still more exacting in
consequence of his fathers death.
1t must be apparent to every we'll
posted politician in that district
and in the state as well, that his
nomination would prove a source
of very decided strength to the
nominee for the long term. All
who speak Of the suggestion to
honor the memory of the dead
congressman by honoring his only
son, are prompt to declare that the
nomination would be a very
handsome thing and entirely
appropriate. There is reason to
believe that there will be little or
no opposition to his nomination
and that he will be elected by an
immense majority. Mr.. Price is a
native of Black River Falls,
exceedingly popular with all classes
who know him, prominent Mason
being a member of Wisconsin
consistory, and though still a
young man, only % years Of age,
has a large circle of friends
throughout the state, all of whom
rejoice to see him complete his
fathers term in the Forty-ninth
congress. That republicans gener-
ally will readily join in thus
honoring the memory of the late
Mr.. Price, there seems to be no
room for doubt; that the large
soldier element in the district, as
well as throughout the state, will
raise both hands in favor of it, is
very certain; and that thousands
Of democrats in the Eight district
will be glad to aid in honoring
the memory of their dead friend
by honoring his son, there is
every is reason to believe.

The New York Sun is Demo

The New York Sun is Demo
cratic, but it does not hesitate to
tell unpalatable truth to Democrats.
Thus it comments about the recent
news from Maine:
"The plain truth about the
Maine election is that ingenuity
can devise no formula of compari-
son with past results which
exhibits the event as a Democratic
victory, as an indication of a drift
of voters away from Harrison to
Cleveland and Thurman, or as
encouragement to the nation that
any one of the additionally
Republican states of the North
can be transferred this year to the
Democratic column"

dead SO long as Hugh lives" He
has managed his fathers business
for years. Besides this he has
taken charge of his uncle's bust

this reason we believe the pure bloods at
Thornhill Farm will secure a good share
of their patronage.
The firm of Dunn & Co. have been in
the drug business in Bismarck for many
years, and during that time they have es-
tablished first-class reputation for deal.
ing squarely by every one. Most people
in this county know DR.. Dunn personally,
and therefore it is not strange that our
citizens generally deal at his store.
Our friend George Gussncr, Bismarck S
jolly Butcher, recently went back on his
bachelor friends and became benedict.
But that will not prevent him continuing
to supply our citizens with everything to
be found in first-class market En-.
mons county people should not forget
to call on Mr.. Gussner when in Bismarck.
There is one grocery house in Bismarck
that is building up splendid reputation
for keeping Il large stock of pure goods,
and selling them at live-and- -letlive
prices. Therefore, Emmons County pco-

t'Dakota Can Laugh Now.n
This is the way the Boston Globe heads
an editorial item in recent issue, and
then proceeds to say: "For the past
month OF more the press of the Eastern
States has been having lots of fun with
Dakota, making merry at the blizzards,
and getting off jokes about the climate,
until an issue of a well-regulated daily
was not complete without some allusion
to western cold weather. Since the late
big snow. storm we have had fully enough
to attend to at home without bothering
about the West. This winter seems to
have svsned up things pretty we'll all over
the country. One place may have had
the advantage for time, but ample CON-
pensation was made later on. Dakota
papers can now return the compliment,
and we must stand 1t as best we may,
knowing that we are guilty of every
charge preferred. He laughs best who
laughs last"

Ex- Gov. Pierce, in Pioneer Press: A
number of Dakota people who have re-
Gently been making a tour Of inspection
of the country on the Pacific coast, with
view to seeking locations there, have
recently arrived at their homes in Huron,
jamestown and Fargo, fully convinced
that. after all, Dakota is the best agricult.
ural country in the world. When they
started they were thinking of selling out
and going westward Upon their return
they had made up their minds that land
in Dakota was cheaper in proportion to
its intrinsic value than IN part Of the re-
glon west of it, and they have now de-
termined to buy all they can get of it..
This statement is vouched for by con-
ducter on one of the Dakota railroads,
who saw and talked to one of the gentle.
men referred to on their return from their
trip to the Pacific coast.
