Bierly is unfriendly to Mr.. Harden. or
spect. He has published some of the
best campaign arguments in Mr.. Har-
denis behalf which we have had from
any source. and we have circulated
them through several hundred thousand
copies of campaign literature. 1t is
said that Mr.. Bierly's candidacy is in
tended to meet possible contingency
in the event of division of the terri
tory. Should South Dakota be admitted
as state. and North Dakota remain as
a territory, Mr.. Bierly would be on
hand to represent the latter until the
general election following. Some think
this scheme is pregnant with POSSIBLE
ties. and in this view of the matter it is
evident Mr.. Bierly has no desire to
draw strength from MI. Harden"

the Republican party. Now the issues
are entirely different. Nine-tenths of
the farmers are in favor OF q reduction
of the tariff tax. The farmers care
more about this and necessary local leg
islation, which the Republicans have
always opposed, than they do about
party ties. That the farmers of this
territory are not so dead stuck Oh the
Republican party was well illustrated
in Cass county two years ago. That
county was so strongly Republican that
the straight Republican ticket was
elected by 1890 majority at the previous
election. At the last election a Demo

the county by 700 majority. The change
in sentiment was confined almost eX-

Alexander Hughes, who has just been
nominated from the Bismarck district,
is a veteran legislator. He is full of

and will manage the railroad interests
in the next council. 1t will be re-
membereG that although the far

the last legislature they were unable to
cope with the skilled tacticlans who
were pitted against them. North Da-

Pacific and the Manitoba railways, and
the representation from that section
will be easily controlled. This with
