For the last three months, all the
newspapers, twenty or more Of them
with one or two exceptions in ten
or twelve adjoining counties in this
direction and of all parties have
advocated the nomination Of Henry
W. Lord for one Of the senators Of
the new state, when that subject shall
be up for action in November or
December next. Mr.. Marlborough il
one Of the exceptions; after remaining
silent until a majority of all the re-
publican papers in North Dakota
have given Mr. Lords nomination al
most unanimous acceptance and com.
mendation it OCCURS to Mr.. Hans
borough that he is built about right
for Congress himself, and he proposes
to substitute his own name for repre-
sentative in place of Mr.. Lords for
Senator. This he regards as a direct
attack on Mr., Lords thoroughly e.
t.blished candidacy; it being unlikely
that Devils Lake would be able to
maintain "a corner" on Congressional
representation. MI. Lords candi-
dacy by his own desire, rests in
allegiance until the capital location
shall have been voted on, a. it will b
on the LIST Of October, and does not
in the least interfere with that ques.
ton.
On the contrary Mr.. Hansbor.
ough's candidacy for representative,
not only assails Mr.. Lord for senator,
but is understood by the citizens Of
Devils Lake, and Ramsey county, to
be in sharp competition with their
capital asp ~irations, in that it
proposes to submit to the people of
the territory the name of Hansboro
for Congress, and Devils Lake for
capital at the same time, and on the
same ticket in October. They have
serious doubts whether the two things
can swim together.

formation of organizations for the boycott

member Of tina trade said, while tho pres
emit high prices were but the natural result
Of q limited supply and . demand of more
than usual activity, yet that it might be
considered good policy 10 make some re-
duction rather than to ~antagsnize the
farmers in = greater degree.
The above dispatch should cheer the
farmers up in their fight on the Irvine
trust. We have then on the run and all
that 10 necessary IL to keep up the agita-
ton and refuse to makr any compromise
with the combine. We have waited long
and PATIENTLY fer the time when the farmers
would unite rs they are uniting on this
question. Let Us take renewed courage
from this and 60 on fighting every other
unholy combination and trust. One by
enc they will ~ forced to follow tho ex-
ample Of the Irvine Barons and revise their
prices. NOW ID an oppsrtune Time Tor US to
unite and roftse to buy any more self
binders until the manufacturers will Gen.
sent to sell direct to u where We have
organizations for that purpose. The day Of
ridiculing the Alliance is past. "lIold fast
that we have" stand firm, march on, and
soon every other combination that is prey
ing on the producers Of America must give
away also. II. L. Louccs .-Ruralist.
The limited supply spoken Of by one of
the would be robbers, was caused
by the Irvine trust laying up not only the
raw material, but sont out men rugged up
as farmers. who bought up the stock of
Irvine remaining in the dealers hands from
last year, Take cur president, Mr.. Loucks's
advice, and never give up the fight, till
trusts and menopolists are our servats and
no longer our masters. j.. F.
