1t has been reported in this and
many other localities III tile county
that i. T. Thomson. the republican
nominee for county treasurer, lad re-
fused to accept the nomination and
would not run. We wish TO state for
the benefit of all, that the parties who
are circulating this report are doing it
to hurt Mr.. Thomson's canvass and
are reporting u falselood. Mr.. Thorn.
son WIS absent in Chicago when the
nomination was made and did not re.
turn home until Tuesday, the 18th.
during the time which elapsed be-
tween the nomination and his return
to this city lie had no correspondence
relating to politics with any person.
On his return home lie was visited by
a Times reporter and asked if lie in.
tended to reject the nomination. lie
replied that as his friends had placed
him i'll nomination he considered il
his duty to accept and make the hard
est fight lie could to he elected. IL
closing we would say that Mr.. Thorn
son never sought the nomination, hut
was made the unanimous choice OF
the convention from the fact that he
was in every way qualified to perform
the duties well and faithfully and IL
cause his popularity ut home :,nt

Republican County Platform.

!. We recognize in the republican NOM
inees, Harrison and Morton, true and
tried statesmen, christian gentlemen and
earnest friends of the two Dakotas, and
as such Rt candidates for the party of
purity and home.
2. That by every precedent In the his
tory of admission of new states into the
Union by constitutional rights guaran-
teed, it is the duty of congress to admit
North and South Dakota into the sister,
hood of states; and we reiterate our un-
alterable opposition TO admission as a
whole.
8. There is nothing inconsistent with
the principles of republicanism in the
resolutions passed by the representatives
of the Farmers Alliance at Hamilton on
August Stl,, and we find that tho Terri.
torial republican platform, passed al
Watcrtown August 22nd, is identical in
spirit and nearly SO i'll idea. hence We
can us republicans, citizens and farmers
heartily endorse the principles thus Gil.
unciatcd and pledge ourselves to their
success.
4. That this convention heartily ell
dorse the Local Option law, and pledge
the republican party of this county to
sustain and our officers to enforce the
same.

In comparin. the republican and
democratic county platforms the st.
Thomas Times says: "In the ninth
plank Of the platform they ..emlorsc
The principles laid down in the plat.
form of the democratic party of la.
kota adapted at jamestown" 1t will
be remembered the territorial plat.
form Of the democrats says nothing
about temperance, but their conven.
ton refused by a majority vote to
place in the platform, a Temperance
plank. Does this endorsement of the
actions of the Jamestown convention
mean anything! If it does, it certain.
~ endorses the sentiment of that con.
yention expressed by a majority of the
delegates present, which was against
any temperance movement. We say,
and believe that no one will attempt
to contradict our statement, that tile
adoption of the third and ninth planks
Greats glaring inconsistency, which,
Temperance men cannot overlook

L. i. Cakes, late vice president and
general manager of the Northern
Pacific has been elected as President
with his residence in st. Paul. This
means a great deal to the people of
the northwest. Heretofore the n. p.
has been managed two Thousand miles
away from its field Of action and gen-
orally by men who knew little of the
needs of the road or the country tribu.
tary to it. While it's rival, the Mani.
toba, has been managed by u man
who knew every foot Of the ground.
The consequence has been that the
Manitoba had headed off the n. T.. at
almost every desirable point where
feeders of the main line should have
been built. Hereafter it will take les.
red tape to run the n. T.. and We arr
sure to reap many benefits. Sine.
their advent in tile country the man
agement and officials of the N. p
have been winning the good will o.
the farmers and business men by tllei
accommodating spirit and evident deslr,
to oblige, and as this state of things i
ALREADY largely due to President Cakes
we believe that in the future, undo
the present administration, things vii
be made still more satisfactory to til,
patrons of the road.

OUR CANDIDATES

The candidates selected by the con.
vention ut Hamilton Tuesday, to re.
present this district in the legislature,
are 10 strangers to our readers and
there is little VIC can say that will add
to the knowledge Of the men or their
character to Il reading public.
Mr.. John ID. Wallace was formerly
IA county commissioner of this county
and his name is synonymous will, hon.
esty of purpose. lie is successful
farmer and business man who is most
thought of where best known.
Mr.. i. II. Bergman is the leading
man in our large Icelandic community.
He las also served a long time as
county commissioner and has at all
times showed himself IL man of mark.
ed business ability and OH whose
name there is no cloud. lie has large
farming interests near Gartlar and is
interested in Il large farm loaning bust
ness ut Milton, Oak. He has thus the
advantage of an extensive acquaint.
ance in both the larger counties of his
district.
+. McIIugl, of Cavalier county. has
already represented his constituency
i'll the territorial legislature in which
he has All excellent record. Personally
Pat is a genial, whole souled, good
fellow and has a host of friends in the
district who will work hard for his
election. Altogether they are a good
set of candidates and they stand rlcdg.
ell to u platform that can he endorsed
by every good citizen in the district.

The district convention passed off
quietly aud tremendously; the only
question arising being the contcsting
delegations from Rolette county. This
comes from Il county seat fight between
Dunseith and st. John. The repub.
licans Of each locality decided, in 1886
to organize us u party and called con.
vention at each place on consecutive
days, each faction claims precedence
with their call, and they have appear.
ed before every general convention
since with contest. At the district
convention ut Olga, two years since,
the st. John faction was admitted I'LL.
der a compromise and it was supposed
that the matter was then settled. But
ut jamestown and WATERFOWL contest.
ing delegations were sent, though nei.
ther were actually recognized. The
calling Of u new convention by the
chairman of the district committee is
intended to settle the controversy of
the original organization by u re.or.
ganiZatiOn.

SlR,-1n your last issue, "Hayseed"
rather arbitrarily assumes that the agita-
tors Of prohibition form class by them
selves. These only, according to our
bucolic adversary, are "right-minded
men" who are attempting to do away
Will, the liquor traffic. l do not coincide
in this anonymous critics views. On
the CONTRARY l believe that upon our side
of the controversy, throughout civiliza-
ton, is found the largest array of honor,
culture, good Judgment and sanity.
Let us turn to figures. l Icpeat that
the county has been deprived of Il rev.
enue of $50 600 by unjust legislation and
erroneous voting. In 1856 were issued
~ licenses. In 1887 there were 80 issued.
This, at licnnse of $3.50 each, (the old
license) gives, for an average Of 40
saloons, $4,000. The last legislature
placed the license at the maximum of
81 600, and minimum of $500. At min.
in'nm. 40 saloons give $4,000, or if 20
instead Of 40 had been licensed at 81 900,
"a matter discretionary with the commits
sioners,) it would give the same figures.
l have spoken, SO far, Of county licenses;
but let not "Hayseed" forget that Penn
bina, st. Thomas, Bathgate and Neche
may impose city or town tax of about
$50 in eacl, case. In 1888 the county re-
ceives nothing for licenses; consequently
the county is out $4,000, but the sale Of
liquor has apparently continued.
"IIayseed" declares that the liquor
dealers do not get the money to pay
licenses from those whom lie is pleased
to call Temperance men," can assure
him that quite q respectable portion
comes not only from temperance men,
but from blatant prolibitionists. 1t had
been amusing, were it not aggravating, tc
hear the good word temperance misuse,l
by men who know not the meaning o.
true application of the word. A temper
ate man requires not the aid of the law
nor can all the statutes in the code alte
his heart if lie be bent OH the violation
thereof. Temperance, fortitude, courag,
and truth are the cardinal virtues, &C
cording to Aristotle. Can outward lay
make man brave. or truthful, or of al
abiding mind? No; nor can you legis
late free men into temperance. Onl
reason can do that. .... ...
"IIayseed" implies that only til
liquor dealers are trying to repeal tn
sumptuary law that disgraccs our statut
book. Here is either pervcrsion of fac
or strange mental defect in the acut
rustic (?) On the contrary say ever
man who loves and appreciates llbcrt
, and justice as these deserve, every ms,
, WHO understands the Declaration
) American Independence, every man vii
3 believes that conscience is effective {
q that education is value, every sue
man. l say, III his Utmost heart col
dennis prohibition as al unrigllteou
f inexpcdicnt thing, hateful to freeme
T. and impossible of enforcement save onl
among slaves. Yours truly,

Mr.. Ilardin's tour is not an especial
success if we judge by our exchanges.
We have seen his speech reported in

cal speech that lie delivered ut Bath.

Taken together it is "an 'orrible tale"
and If printed and circulated in Eu.
rope and Canada would eflectually
stop all immigration to this country,
and if believed in by his Dakot;. hear.
ers would cause general exodus to

which was esteemed the best brand
and which were as standard goods in

boys of the present generation don't
buy English knives, aud the virtue
of Jonathan Crooks trade mark is I'M.

rare to find an English made knife in
