following letter, dated Enterprise, Dick

Price:
MIR. J. L. Boutillier Dear SRI
write you to try and find out something
about Dakota, its lands, water, how the
crops are, etc. address you as you are
from this county. l have lived in this
part OF the country ten years, and am
hardly any better off than was when I
came here. We have lost four crops,
burned up with the hot winds, and there
are number of US who are gong to hunt
some place to live where we can raise
enough to keep US from one year to the
other. l saw your name in a book l got
from the Chi, Mil. 81 St. Paul Railway
Company, and, after reading your letter
in the book, thought would be sure to
get the facts in the matter by writing to
you Now, if it is not asking too much,
please let me hear from you. Give me
the truth about the country, and l Will be
under great obligations to you, as am
going to leave Kansas, and l want to
go to your country"
Mr.. Boutilicr will write to Mr.. Price,
giving him the desired information. he
will tell him of our enormous crops now
almost ready for harvest, and that time
has only strengthened the faith in Dakota
he expressed in his letter for the railway
book. We shall also send Mr.. Price a
sample copy of the RECORD, and call his
attention to the article headed Free

A Survey of the Field.

Pioneer Press The intense enthusiasm
displayed by the Republicans of Indiana,
who have just named strong state ticket
and put forth convincing declaration of
principles, comes into strong contrast
with the attitude and spirit of the De.
mocracy. The state is alive with enthu-
siasm for Harrlson--an enthusiasm which
has grown and deepcned and broadened
from the day of his nomination to this
The candidates for governor are pretty
evenly matched, both being members of
the present congress and each counting q
handsome folio wing But the circum-
stances which tell in presidential year
are very different, The Democratic party
is as badly demoralized as ever by the
war of factions. Gray succeeded in hold
ing his leadership only at the cost of al
lcnating the friends Of Mcdonald, and
the friends of Gray in their turn were
disappointed and disgustcd by the nomi-
nation OF Thurman at st. Louis
The makeup of the national ticket,
which is giving the Republicans such i'm.
mense headway in the state and carrying
their cause already 10 assured success, has
made the Democracy dispirited and de-
spondent Where, few months ago,
Indiana was doubtful, with the probabili.
ties in favor Of repetition this year of
the Democratic victory 10 1884, the out.
look ut present shows it to be next to i'm.
possible that the Republicans should fail.
This local change is but an instance of
what has been going forward the country
over. Every sagacious man is aware of
the folly of early predictions and is fa-
miliar with the sudden yeering of the

MAJOR EDWARDS is candidate for the
Republican nomination to the territorial
council, and, as usual, the "pin. heads'i
and "has- -beens' of Fargo are trying to
defeat him. But the major seems to be
getting there in good shape, as he carried
all the ward primaries but one in Fargo
and lost that only by a scratch, securing
80 out OF 80 delegates. Major Edwards
has done as much as any dozen of his op-
ponents to bring Fargo and North Da-
kota to the fore. Besides, he IS brainy
man, and--he has mission. But per-
haps in Cass county, as elsewhere, by
some people bowels are regarded above
brains. If so, the major still should suit,
for he mashes down the hay scales until
they register s75@40O lbs. Every pro.
gressive man in North Dakota hopes it
may be the majors lot to fill two chairs

indeed. But we suppose one candidate

they did two years ago. But if, as seems
probable, one candidate will come from

the third ought TO come from one of the

date of either party ought to be asked

are farmers, and the interests of the re-
