The famous Liberati band Of New York,
which ranks among the best in the world,
passed through the city Monday, en-
route to Portland, Ore, where they will
furnish music for the Portland exposition.
At this point they alighted from the train
to give North Dakota's capital q brief sere-
made and that the music was appreciated
was manifested by the loud applause Of
the Bismarckers. Liberati, the bright
eyed Italian leader Of the band, ranks
s.second best" il not the champion among
the cornetists Of the world and he took
phere Of the Missouri slope to give full
play to his wonderful genius. Tie selec-
ti0ns were short, but 1t Is no reflection on
the numerous other excellent bands that
have played in Bismarck to say that this
was the best music ever heard in the capi-
tai. II 7 ,'t
At the end of the first piece member
Of the band proved how literally the
Northern Pacific road has dealt with the
band by proposing three cheers for the
roads management and especially for Cen
eral Passenger Agent Fee and Assistant
Pond. At the close Of the last selection
the Bismarckers gave three cheers for the
band and as an unexpected awakening
the event was most pleasing surprise.
The band will return in about four weeks,
when 1t will stop in Bismarck and give
one Of its famous concerts.
A Card from Ex-Gov. N. G.. Ordway.
To the just and fair-minded citizens Of North
Dakota:
1t has come to my knowledge since ar
riving at the capital yesterday that certain
fofeign correspondents and South Dakota
emissaries are cunningly attempting to
stampede my friends who have been NOM
mated in nearly half of the legisla-
tive districts by asserting that I have with
drawn my name from the senatorial race:
also that Walsh and other counties in tile
Red and James river valleys have In
structed against me.
Replying to the first misstatement, will
state ungqu quivocally that my name has not
been withdrawn; and to the second, will
say that IN recognition Of nearly ten years.
active service In connection with building
up the territorial institutions and defend
ing North DakOta's interests at Washing /.
ton, have received numerous strong
assurances that most of the nominees who
have been instructed for Ex-Governor
Pierce are equally favorable to my can
didacy.
I have yet to learn Of but a single district
where any adverse action has been at
I, therefore, appeal to all just and fair
minded citizens to fairly consider what /
have accomplished for the territory in the
past, and what could probably do to ad-
vance North Dakota's interestfn the fu-.
ture, before binding themselves to these
reasoning prejudices and rank deception.
will add that should this attempt to
side track me succeed at the coming cleo
ton to fill two very short senatorial terms,
will try to be on deck in 80 and '92 and
continue my appeal with ample time for

properly understood and laid before the
people. N. G. ORDwAY.
