Penny. Whistle Politics.

With due respect for our Republican friends.
I. we protest against the weak and puerile at
tempt to introduce a "Tippecanoe-and-Tyle
too farce into the campaign. 1t has a pen
ny-whistle squeak that is supreme]y ridicu-
lous. There is nothing of the 'log-cabin-and-
hard-cider" style about the present head of
the Harrison family, and hard cider would
be an indiscTpet accessory, anyhow, in a cam
paign in which n bid is to he made for the
Prohibition vote. Besides the repulse of the
Indians in the attack on Harrison's emp at
Tippecanoe was not much of an affair.
We advise the Republicans to have as lit
tie to say rs possible about Tippecanoe, and
to leave their candidates ancestry alone, es-
pecially as the "Regicide" story and the Po-
%cahontas story are now said to be the myth
zeal. Men are not elected because of their
fathers or grand fathers, as Col. Fred Grants
case Illustrated q year ago. Mr.. Cleveland
had very good ancestors, but they did not
elect him. Mr.. Harrison is q good man and
he can stand on iis own merits
US an honorable citizen a sturdy
soldier and am honest official. He
has had quite as much experience in civil Of
fairs as Lincoln had before his election, more
than Grant had and more than Cleveland had
from q national point of view. He repre-
sents .objectional principles which will prob
ably defeat hin But he con well afford to
be advocated by his friends On his own good
qualities. and, any foolish footing to the
"Tippecanoe-and- Tyler-too" tune will only
make his, canvass ridiculous.-New York

The convention unanimously adopted the

address TO THE PEOPLE:
To the people of the two Dakotas: Such a
day as the one now shining never dawned
upon us before. We have secured recogni-
ton from one of the great national parties,
the same as We shall have when both our
states are within the Union; so that the
work for two states is now more popular
than one. 1t now remains for us to make
one supreme effort INT our work is done. In
this champaign, for the first time the two
Dakotas are keeping step to the same music.
The same goal is before them both. The people
of both sections now see alike the necessity
of using the same means to secure a com-
mon end. All this portends victory for us,
and in the very neal future. But while this
is possible, it will not come of itself. We
dare not relax a single nerve. We cannot
cease our vigilance. Having begun we must
stay through to the end. We may have per-
sonal choices in party, in hopes for progress.
emergencies we must subordinate them all m
make foremost our un~alterable purpose at ill
hazards and at whatever cost. Dakota shall be
redeemed. To do this we must help ourselves.
Fear God and take your own part" must
still be our motto. To do this let us elect for
our next legislature only such men as via,
first of all, stand together for the two DakD-
tas. Men who will be neither frightened or
cajoled into wavering from their position.
Men who will not be afraid to strip from
the Office of our alien governor the power
and the perquisites that we should
never think of giving even to a governor
of our own choice. Men who will make No
appropriation of our money that is not
clearly warranted by the organic act. Mem
who will at the first opportunity, move for
ward to accomplish statehood for both Da-
kotas. In this way we shall reduce the evils
of our territorial condition to the lowest
point, and make more sure the coming of
complete triumph of home rule. Only once,
does North Dakota need to join hands to end
this provincial degradation and begin the
glory of our statehood life.

What Cleveland Has Done.

In q word, Mr. Cleveland's administration
hos been "a success" ind it commercial
confidence has been mistaken; the most mark
ed era of industrial prosperity was developed;
perfect internal peace preserved; respect for
the laws cultivated and enlarged; sectional
animosities soothed and almost obliterated.
Instead of the "panic predicted by enemies to
set in on his accession, the reverse has been
seen. The country has built more miles
of railway, conquered more of it's unoc-
cupied domain. developed it's latent riches in
larger volume and more permanently than
ever was known in any preceding period of
like duration. The finances have been
handled with consummate skill and courage;
the public domain by millions of acres has
been wrested from usurping "claimants''
and restored to the people; frauds on the
revenue nave been reduced to the minimizing;
the civil service law has been vigorously en-
forced until 10000 of the servants of the
government are absolutely free from the
dictation or meddling of politicians.-Chat-
tanooga Times.

The Issue Joined.

There is nothing in the character or ante
cedents of the Chicago nominees to divert
the American people from the main issue
thathas forced itselfto the front in this cam
paign. While the Republican candidates for
the presidency and vice presidency are re-
spectacle citizens, no glamour of military
glory and no brilliancy of public service sur
round their names to arouse the enthusiasm
of partisans. Nor is there any personals or
public scandal attached to their records to
excite the hatred of political opponents. In
their safe mediocrity they will lose no votes
which the Republican party can claim on the
strength Of its organization, and they will
attract no votes which the party has repealed
by it's platform Of policy. TO that large
body of intelligent and independent voters
who hold aloof from both political camps and
make victory incline in accordance with their
Judgment of what is best for the public inter
ests, neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr.. Morton
car make any effective appeal. AS partisans
themselves they can depend.on upon their
port.-Philadelphia Record.

Blafne's Ticket.

--.-
The scheme now is to bring Mr.. Blaine over
from Europe, next month; with q great
flourish Of trumpets and. endeavor, through
him, to fire the fast sinkingIsepublican heart.
The cool indifference with which the nomina.
tons of the friend Of the Ghinnman and the
millionaire banker have been received, strike
the leaders with dismay and they are now, as
a last desperate resort, about to bring
home the Republican fetch to see II
anything can be effected through him.
Tt is believed that, in the, highly i'm
probable contingency of Harrison's success,
Blaine will be made secretary of state, to
resume the jingoism which WINS brought to
an abrupt ~terminationsby the death Of Gar
field. s Z.
The ticket which was nominated suits
Blaine exactly. He has two dummies on. it
to reflect his.will unquestioningly. He halls
the head of the ticket ms q grandson and
great grandson OF two prominent Ameri-
cans, not as q man possessing individual
qualities t q recommend him to the people.
The party is still under the influence Of
Blaineism, andthe independents were right
in refusing the appeal made to them by the
convention to come back, now that Blaine
was out Of the field, They were all aware
that Harrison was the choice of the man
whose nomination they repudiated four years
ago and that the party had slavishly obeyed
Blaine's behests in framing it's platform. It
will be, therefore, cminently consistent
that, after helping Mr.. Carnegie to spend in
Scotland some of the money he made through
the monopoly tariff in this country, Mr..
Blaine should return and give q hoping hand
to his ticket. But he will be very much sur
prised il he thinks that the American people
can b. fooled by such o transparent device
and that they will be led to believe thnt the
ticket represents anything but Blaineism.

Why They Met.

The renewal of the Republican party's
Civil Service reform promises in its new Chi
cago platform was understood in the same
old Pickwickian sense, and the chestnut was
accepted with II smile of contempt by every
delegation in the Convention. Flanagan of
Texas, having long ago explained what it
was there for, voted for it with the rest. Even
the chief Chicago organ of the Gresham move
! ment to recover the Mugwump cstrays, treats
the Civil Service plank az a joke and openly
admonishes the delegates in this strain:
"What are they here for if one of the objects
is not to get back the 100000 offices now
filled by Democrats and Confederates and to
recover all the guns and munitions the party
lost in the last fight? = = y If they have
any object in view, it should he the nomina-
ton of the mar who can recover the offices
and reinstate the party and it's principles in
power"
