Democratic Primaries.

The democratic primaries to elect del
egates to the county convention to be held
in this city tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose of placing in nomination candi-
dates for county Offices were held last
evening.
At the greenhouse precinct Jos. Little
was elected chairman and A. n. Leslie,
secretary. There was no contest and the
following named delegates were chosen by
acclamation: Frank Kuntz, Thos. For
tune. A. n. Leslie, Jos. Little, L. Hirsch.
In the city hall precinct Jos. Hare was
elected chairman and John Huber, Sec
retary. The following delegates to the
county convention were chosen without a
dissenting vote: Geo. Hillyer, Pat McCue,
Nelson White, VIM. NJ. Tuohy, VIM. Ban.
non. Geo. Macnider. John Huber, VIM. A.
Hollembaek,. Joseph NJ. Edgerley, Jos.
Dietrich, Alex. Frohme, Frank K. Reed,
John G. Hollembaek, Michael Halloran
G. w. Thompson, James Mcdonald.
There is considerable speculation as to
the probable nominees OF to-morrow's con
vention, but it was impossible last night to
learn from the delegates. The convention
will in all probability be harmonious as
there was not ripple of opposition or con-
tention in the primaries.

GIVE cannot doubt, without impuing
their integrity, that, if free to act upon
their convictions, they would so revise
our laws as to lay the burdens of the
customs revenue upon articles that are
not produced in this country, and to
place upon the free list all competing
foreign products. do not stop to re-
fute this theory as to the effect of our

Hon. ADAMS, who was member of the
last legislature from Griggs county, has
the following to say in his paper regard
ing Speaker Crosse and his support Of
Mr.. Matthews:
Several democrats are ehowling that when
the Farmers Alliance, Geo. A. Matthews
for congress was published, Editor Geo. G.
Crosse was away, and that the deputy took
advantage of his absence to boom Mat
thews. It is true that Crosse might not
have been at Aberdeen, but the sentiments
Of the Ruralist are the sentiments of Crosse.
He undoubtedly penned the article. Crosse
is a personal friend of Matthews. They
worked together, one as president of the
council and the other as speaker of the
house, during the last legislature. Crosse
at jamestown, on the editorial excursion,
spoke of Matthews in the same tenor as in
the Ruralist. When Harden was nomi-
mated Crosse in the Ruralist said itdepended
upon the WatertOWn convention whether
or not the Alliance would support him.
The Watertown convention nominated a
man that suits the Ruralist and the Rural
ist speaks well of him.
Because cat has her kittens in he oven
you need not butter them and eat them
for hot biscuit. Because Harden belongs
to the Alliance he is not necessarily a
armer. He is a school teacher that owns
small farm just as DIR. Kerr, Judge Glass,
and thousand other people own and cul-
tivate land. Matthews was born on a
farm, raised money for his education by
working on farm, owns farm and culti-
Yates it, and because he is a lawyer we
need not be afraid of him. Judge Conklin
and Speaker Crosse are lawyers; Daniel
Webster, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay
Stephen A. Douglas were lawyers. Wash.
ington and Jefferson were farmers and
yet that was not their main qualification

The Frederick Free Press raises a Sc

It says:
The Frederick Farmers Alliance is the

congress, refused to speak to said alliance
after the audience was on the ground till
his speech was paid for in advance. Be-
ware Of man who is afraid to trust his

THERE is nothing in the scheme tele-
graphed from Grand Forks-calling a
convention to nominate an independent
candidate for delegate for North Dakota.
The scheme had its birth the night Har-

device of democracy to weaken, if possi-

YANKToN is said to be raising 100000
for the Manitoba road. This is rather a
large sum to pay for a railroad. Sioux
Falls got three roads for about $4,000
each, and as result over 400 houses
were erected in that city this year and
still there is demand for 100 more TO

CIVIL SERVICE IN DAKOTA.

The Chicago News is an independent
paper, but has all along been warm sup
porter of Grover Cleveland. It believed
in his tariff views and in Ills expressed
convictions on civil service reform. It
was willing, on his pledges, to trust him
for another term, but little circumstance
has transpired in Dakota regarding
which the News demands an explanation
from the great civil service champion.
In its leading editorial of September
14th, the News says:
The News has received the following
letter from Dakota postmaster:
GRAND VIEW, OAK, Sept. II, 1883.
To the Editor: What do you think of
the enclosed. The Office pays 1922 month
and takes all of one mans time, using a
room renting at 50 month, coal in the
winter at $3.50 a ton. Anyway, what is
civil service reform? l have always been
Look at the federal officers at the head of
the list. Such an outrage has not been
practised but by this same tgang'-i. e.,
Church adherents. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH ]. ANGUS, Postmaster.
PSI am informed that the Office hold
j.. A."
Enclosed with this letter to the News
was the following epistle. which is prob
ably not unfamiliar to other victims of
civil service reform in Dakota:
HEADQUARTERS OF DEMOCRATIC TER
R1TORIAL COMMITTEE, ARMOUR, OAK,
Sept. 10, 1888.-Postmaster, Grand View,
Dak.-
Dear Sir: The territorial democratic ex-
ecutive committee has instructed me to
call upon all federal and territorial Office
holders in the Third legislative district to
contribute at least 5 per cent. of their an
nual straightforward defraying the expenses
of the present campaign. Acting under
once contribute the amount due from your
Office by remitting the same to the under
signed. Very respectfully,
GEORGE S. MATHEWS,
Committeeman for Third District"
The News then gave the names of the
democratic territorial central committee.
and then asked:
Now, what are these people doing?
They are demanding at least 5 per cent of
in Dakota. Those officials understand-at
least one of them does-that they must
either pay the sums demandedOr lose their
positions. What do the friends of civil
Service reform think of this precious
scheme to extort money from employees of
the government? What does the Hon.
Grover Cleveland think of it? We have
the word of Mr.. Angus that federal Off
cials are engaged in this sand-bagging bus
mess. Let them be exposed and cast out
of the public service which they dishonor.
Let Treasurer Glidden of Sioux Falls be
compelled to disgorge the forced contribu-
tions which now jingle in his money-box.
Let the whole matter be thoroughly sifted.
Five per cent. of their annual salary
from federal and territorial officials in
Dakota will raise quite democratic
campaign fund. It may be little gall
ing to some officials to put up their as
sessment-ranging from S25to S400 each
but the edict has gone forth and dis
obedience may bring down the decapitat-
ing guillotine without further warning.
Civil service reform Pernicious activ-
ity! Shades of Grover Cleveland's civil
service letter rise up and behold the full
fllment of thy pledges in Dakota! oh,
mugwump, where is thy consolation?
