The officials at the court house are in a
state of high appreciation of Postmaster

few days ago. but in even anticipating
any further possible wants in the same

For Many Of the Aspiring Who We're

GRAND FORKS, Feb. 15.-The depart
ure of the gay and festive Ward, alias
the English alpha bet, has endorsed
many an aspiring politician, and made
the more conservative of our wise-acreS
gleefully rub their hands and say. Il
told you So" This modern heather
Chinee had no sooner arrived upon the
scene of his latest exploits than he was
called upon by one of our younger
clergymen, who now resides in New
England, and, not being of his own de-
nominational school, he was turned over
to the good brother to whose church he
claimed allegiance. Soon after he ap-
peared at the banquet given by the New
England club on Forefathers' day. He
was faultlessly attired in full evening
dress, was agreeable, but, fortunately,
he had not been asked to lend the graceS
of his oratory to that occasion. In the
midst of the speech-making he left the
room. Ward was & poser. He
LIKED TO BE GAZED UPON
and his departure on this evening was
timed so as to be observed by all the
guests. This was one year ago. He
was not long away from politics. He
wanted to run the whole machine-city
and county both. He appeared at the
Larimore Republican convention last
spring, and took an active part in the
proceedings. He was elected delegate
to the jamestown convention, which
sent l.. B. Richardson to the Chicago
convention; then he appeared at Water
town, which convention nominated
Mathews. Here, however, the Grand
Forks delegation did not handle the
suaye gentleman SO cOurteOusly, and,
disguised, he sought out
THE FARGO DELEGATES
and communed with them on his way
home. 1t was even asserted that he in
tended leaving this city and takingup
his residence in Fargo. Then he was
next heard from in Indiana, where he
was doing brilliant work for Gen. Har-
rison, and when he was elected and the
delectable Ward returned, he entered
the local political swim again. He APP
peared at the Republican ratification
meeting, and made the address OF the
evening. Soon after. gathering few
of his chosen around him, the call for
the jamestown convention. which first
agitated statehood, was made. When
he returned from Indiana ne placed
large Autographs of Harrison and Nor
ton in his bay windows. He was not
prohibitionist, by any means, and often
at night his body became weary by ex-
cessive walking. His last public APP
pearance was at the legislative BAN
Duct, at which he presided with the
suavity of Chesterfield. And then ne
departed.

tune or not, being seized upon

tlemen. Their friends in this
city are very scarce so far as the latter
gentleman is concerned, but Gov.
Church has many firm friends here who
believe him to be in the right III every
instance where he has used his veto.
Especially Is this true of the seed wheat
bill. which is looked upon here as an
outrage upon common sense, the worst
piece of tomfoolery which ever emana-
ted from body of men supposed to be
the representatives of an enlightened
people. "a fine advertisement for
Dakota" says one OF our business men
to-day. "a specimen of the softening
of the brain,'' said another "a cursed
piece of idiocy," says the third man,
and hundreds can be quoted who are OF
the same opinion.

tutional convention to Grafton. Why
was this done? Ask McHugh after the
legislature is over and he will tell you
the truth-an "unvarnished tale" It's
money makes the mare go. whether the
track is in Fargo or Grafton. AS far as
the Cass county delegation is concerned
they are ''unapproachable'' men of
honor and distinguished integrity, and
the statement made by some officious
parties that all were purchasable, is an
idle tale and not worth mentioning. No
man, big or little, can buy Cass coun-
ty's representatives, and it would look
to stranger as though they were

may be. Fargo has ceased to expect
anything from the kind. hearted yeo-
men at Bismarck, and much less from
their representative in the council. For
