eau has fairly outdone herself in the matter
Of her 4th Of July celebration. ~.

lieve with Mr.. Garrison that Cleveland de-
serves to be reelected, and tnat he undoubt-
edly will be-.
P. E. sandli: Take no stock il politics.
i There q no machine like the "New Home
sewing machine How do you like that
bran new buggy?
V. B. Noble: Have just returned from
Towner. Met the commissioners of Nc
Henry county and settled Bottineaus claim
by accepting warrant for $3.50. This is
business.
VIM. Stewart, formerly of Ontario, Can:
We Canadians belong to neither Of the great
parties as yet. Personally, favor the
democratic party because Of its tariff reform
platform.
= Charles Taylor: Wasn't that a big thing
that show in the Presbyterian church?
Such crowd-but that's nothing to the
number that are clamoring for 1.-The Flying
Dutchman."
i. F. Combs: leave Friday morning to
take charge of Warner & 5toltze's Church's 8
Ferry yard for q few days. and will take
up permanent position at Cando with same
firm. 10 Pinkerton takes my place here.
Rev. Ezra Turner, formerly Of Ontario,
Can: Neither democrat or republican. l
believe in the party of the future-the pro-
hibitionists. The democratic platform Is
more worthy of support than the free whis-
key republican one.
L. d. Dana, formerly Of Illinois: Was
whig but have been a republican since the
organization Of the party. Believe it's
winner this year with Harrison and Morton
and that Cleveland will get knocked out for
sure. Regret can not vote.
II Caleb Garrison, formerly of Kentucky:
m republican, though favor the election
OF Cleveland and would vote for him if in
my old kentucky home. He has made
good president, and his stand on the tariff
question should and will secure his election.
Rev. C. s. McCandless, formerly of Penn
.sylyania: I have faith in the success Of the
democratic party at the coming election.
am prohibitionist and sincerely believe
that in the defeat of the republican party is
the ultimate triumph of the prohibitionists.
God speed the day.
James N. Greiner, formerly Of Minnesota:
Have been a republican. think the party
u doomed to defeat because Of the prohibi-
ton party. know of great many repub-
shcans in Minnesota who are going to leave
their party this year. They are now pro-
shibltionists. ~s@ r.. i. v~ ~.
Capt J. G. Thompson: The greatest scheme
for the benefit of Bottineau county is the
opening up Of the country northwest which
will inevitably result from the establish
ment Of ferry across the Mouse river, and
POSTAL communication with the South Antler
creek settlement. -
Mark Hawker, formerly Of England: Be-
l,ng to no party but am in favor Of tariff re-
form. Don't see why we farmers should
have to pay from $3.50 to 5000 for thresh-
ing machine, for example: when the same
may be laid down in Great Britain for 500,
and SO With every article necessary on the
farm High protection tariff is ruinous. !
I S. W. Pierson. formerly of New Jersey, q
democrat dyed in the wool: thing it is
just as good to compete with foreign labor
abroad as to bring it here into competition
with American labor. The only way to pro-
tect the American laborer, is to prohibit i'm
migration. Need the markets of the world
for our surplus products. Believe these
facts are coming to be known and that
Cleveland and tariff reform will sweep the
country. -~r1.&

M. s.. Harmon, formerly of Minnesota:
On the political situation my mind is in .
chaotic state. I'm all at sea. Though re-
publican, I desire the success Of the prohi-
bition party whether that is to be accom-
plished through the defeat Of the democratic
or republican party is what perple1es me,
/ think Harrison and Morton will win.
Whatever there is in the tariff question,
believe the protection idea will prevail as
arainst free trade. The reinstatement Of
the republican party in power will bring
about the triumph Of the prohibitionists ~
the south, md that is what want TO see.
II I had vote, should nevertheless vote
for the republican ticket.
Rev. B. Lyman, formerly of Illinois: Have
been o republican and also prohibitionist.
il nv opinion, the outcome Of the present
nolitical situation is the success OF the
democratic party. believe the prohibition |
party has come to stay, because the prin- |
c;ple Of the abolition Of the saloon element

III thing is never settled until it is settled
ripht.o should prefer to have the repub- /
Iicans win, because I think it is in the in
Ierast of prohibition. regard the repub-
Iican platform as strong bid for the liquor
yote. although the moral principle Of i ~
