position. II has been said Of him, by his
enemies, that he lacks ability. No
greater injustice was ever done gentle
man Of learning, q gentleman of char
acter, an old soldier and good citizen.
He is an attorney Of good standing before
the Burleigh county bar. He has prose.
cuted to a successful termination some
Of the most important cases in this
district, and the court reco rds are q COM
plete refutation of the charges made by
his enemies. He has made an excellent
county superintendent of public instruc-
tion, and brought the schools of Burleigh
county up to high order Of efficiency.
He will make q fearless and Independent
Judge. He will do right as God gives
him to see it, and his decisions will not
be warped by prejudice or malace. From
New York state, his former home, where
he received a collegiate education and
was admitted to the bar, come numerous
testimonials Of his high standing both as
citizen and in the profession of his
choice. Mr.. Winchester is warmly sup
ported by every newspaper in the district.
His election is assured. It is only a
question of majority. Mr.. Winchester
is republican, fighting for the straight
republican ticket. His party owes him
its full strength.
E. s. Allen, the nominee for clerk
Of the court, needs but a word.
better nomination could not have been
made. Those who know him best are
his warmest friends and those who know
him by reputation only, respect him, for
they have heard naught but good of him.
He is clever gentleman, man of cor.
rect habits, an earnest republican and
thoroughly competent for the place.
The republican committee will print
straight tickets only. Loyal republicans
will vote the straight ticket only. Every
political contest leaves a little sore
ness-a few dissapointments. The last
convention was no exception to the rule,
but disappointment will hardly justify a
desertion of the regular party ticket.
Desertion means Generalization and de-
moralization means success or partial
success to the enemy.
Vote the republican ticket.
Vote it straight. a........ ~

every taxpayer here must pay just double
the tax he now pays. The burden Of
taxation is already large and unless the
object sought absolute prohibition in
practice as we'll as theory lis gained,
then who is there go philanthropic as to
want to pay more taxes? Under our
present laws any county desiring prohibi-
tion can have il. This is satisfactory to
practical temperance people who have
given the matter careful Iteration,
and it is the Judgment Of some Of the
most earnest champions Of temperance,
therefore it would be unwise to en-
graft absolute prohibition in the consti-
tuition by vote Of the people
next Tuesday. II Is not q party
issue, it is purely business PROPOSE
tion-a question Of expedienoy. Con-
stitutional prohibition ought not to
carry, and he who votes against Prohi-
bition'' next Tuesday, votes wisely. In
doing so he does not vote against temper
ance. On the contrary, he votes for Leg
islative control, which means high
license, fewer saloons, an education and
growth Of adverse sentiment, and finally,
the solving Of the liquor problem.
A gentleman in Grand Forks who
is one Of the most earnest temper
ance sympathizers in North Dakota, and
whose great desire is to do that which is
most practical, recently addressed a
private letter to Bishop Ireland on the
subject. The following reply confirms
the gentleman in his high license posi-
tion:
DEAR SIR: I thank you for your kind
letter inquiring as to my present position
toward high license. am anxious I assure
you, that you would not have an occasion
to misapprehend my sentiments. Well, I
license. Ihave not denounced it. / would
be very sorry to do so. High license has
done too much good in Minnesota and
elsewhere that / should denounce it.
The misunderstanding in some minds
lately about my position arose from re-
marks of mine at a banquet of total abb
statners in Minneapolis. there spoke in
claring that they ought to be blotted off
the face of the earth. mentioned neither
prohibition or high license. The Voice
took up my words as a token Of my con-
version to prohibition, ard since then am
frequently receiving such letters of in
quiry as yours.
OF course, would be glad to see saloons
blotted off the ce of the earth. But in
large cities public opinion is not ripe for
prohibition, and good restrictive laws are
the practicable remedies to be sought out.
Hoping that you are we'll, and still inter-
ested in the welfare of the great state, /
am, my dear sir, very sincerely, ETC.,
JOHN IRELAND.

October 4th, and the county election
boards are authorised to canvass the
returns SO made on Saturday October
9Th. The returns Of election as found
by the county and district canvassing
boards must be made to the Territorial
secretary by the auditor or clerk, not
later than one day after the completion
Of the canvass. The territorial can
vassing board meets at the capitol al
Bismarck on October 18th, and certifies
to the result. This together with COPY
Of the constitution is then to be forwarded
to the president, who will Immediately
issue proclamation admitting North
Dakota into the union on an equal foot
ing with all the states. This being done,
it then becomes the duty Of the governor
equality and forthwith issue q proc
lamation convening the legislature at
some time. not less than fifteen nor more
than forty days after the date Of said
proclamation. The constitution provides
that the first session of the legislature
may continue 12O days. Prompt action
on the part Of all officials, who are
charged with the peril Of certain
specific duties in this matter, will result
in the assembling Of the Legislature on
or about November 10Th. The first busl-
ness transacted by the legislature will be,
Of course, the election Of United States
senators.

Hon. JOHN MILLER, the republican
candidate for governor, and 81. @. Hans
brough, the nominee for congress-, are
doing valiant work for the ticket. They
are covering as much territory as pos
sible before election day, Mr.. Hans
brough being booked for speech as late
as the 25th. The citizens Of Bismarck
were favored with their presence Satur-
day. Both gentlemen are well known in
this city, Mr.. Hansbrough from frequent
visits and Mr.. Miller from his residence
in the city during the last session of
the legislature, Of which he was
g valuable member. Mr.. Miller is
practical business man as well as farmer
and speaks on the tariff question from
the standpoint OF q wheat raiser. Speech
making is new business for Mr.. Hans
brough, but he is doing himself proud
and making favorable impression
wherever he goes. Hansbrough is
worker. He is man Of pleasant address,
popular with all classes Of people and
his nomination brought great strength
to the ticket. In Washington as in Bis
marck or any other place, he is man
whom any person can approach with the
assurance OF receiving q cordial greeting
and every proposition submitted by his
constituents will receive respectful and
careful consideration at his hands.

euccess.

BISHOP IRELAND, than whom no greater
or ADLER advocate Of temperance lives, is
in favor Of high license as the best means
Of controlling the liquor traffic at the
present time He believes in practical
work, and where the sentiment is not
strong enough to enforce the law he re-
CARDS absolute prohibition unwise and
impractical. North Dakota will be called
upon to meet this proposition next Tues
day. There is vast difference between
constitutional prohibition and local
option, or county prohibition. The one
leaves it to each county to determine for
itself the question Of prohibition, while
the other gives the power to those
counties desiring prohibition and where
the sentiment is strong enough
to back up the law - to force
the law upon those counties not
desiring, because Of it's impracti-
cability. Absolute prohibition at this
time would simply deprive the state and
county governments Of thousands Ct doll
lars Of revenue and, in the larger coun-
ties containing large cities, would not
prohibit. II would mean right in Bis
marck and Burleigh county the addition
OF burdens to every taxpayer the addi-
.tion Of q dollars tax to every dollar now
paid. High license now pays one-half
the running expenses Of this city. De-
jprive the treasury Of this revenue and.

THIS Is THE YEAR.

Il
Ofall the years in the history Of the re-
publican party in Dakota this is the year
the party should cast it's solid vote for the
ticket--state congressional and Legislative.
It is the first year of the new political
subdivision of North Dakota and for
that reason alone the record we make is
Of national interest and Importance. The
party at large expects the party Of North
Dakota to do its duty and it's whole duty.
We have state and congressional ticket
that stands above criticism. Individually
and collectively, the candidates are good
men. They represent the highest aspira-
tions OF the republican party. They are
platform in themselves. This is not
campaign talk, but solid facts that will
be as true on the day after the election
as on the day before the election. We
are not obliged to say things for effect.
We have only to recite the skeleton facts
and we have said enough. In the ticket
are blended the representative interests
of the farmers, of the old soldiers and
the best citizenship that springs from the
adaptation of the Norseman to our soil
and climate. Not only can every republic
can conscientiously vote his ticket
but every other good citizen
who has not pledged himself
to vote with the minority. Men, who
have been Indifferent about party ties,
native as we'll as foreign born citizens, in
the years of our territorial condition, will
find this most convenient time to tie
to the party that gave the country the
homestead law and universal liberty.
The republicans of the Bismarck land
district owe it to their favorite son, ex-
Governor Pierce, to vote the straight re-
publican ticket from top to bottom. They
should elect every nominee for the legis-
lature. When they vote for the republic
can nominees they vote for Ex-Governor
Pierce and when they vote for the demo-
cratic nominees they vote against that
gentleman. In word vote for Pierce.
Bottle up your displeasure until some
other time. Don't show it at this time.
There will be democrats in the legisla-
ture from the north east corner of the
new state. We can't afford to follow suit
in the west end. There is too much at
stake.

The territorial fair at Grand Forks
seems to have been great success in
every particular. The weather, the ex-
hibits of live stock and farm products,
the display Of art and fancy goods, the
races and amusements, the opening of
the new hotel everything satisfactory
and excelling all previous events Of the
kind in North Dakota. In the display
Bismarck and Burleigh county were par
ticularly conspicuous and in the compe-
tition for premiums eminently successful.
The Bismarck base ball team won three
straight games from the Grand Forks
boys; the Wentworth horse took first
money in the 3.minute race and third
money in the $50 race; the Burleigh
county display of Seeds, vegetables,
grains, grasses and all kinds Of products
made by Oscar Will, was the best on the
ground, in competition with all the other
counties of North Dakota; Bert Gray's
collection Of poultry took first prize;
SCOTS Polled Angus bull was awarded
the blue ribbon for best 8-year-old, win
ming first premium in it's class and first
premium in the sweepstakes. There
may have been something else overlooked
by the Missouri slope, but if so it wasn't
in sight. Bismarck was we'll represented
at the grand banquet inaugurating the
opening of the finest hotel in North De-
kota; Bismarckers were loud in their
praises of Grand Forks and her enter
prising people, and taking all in all the
last territorial fair was rip-roaring

That little bunch of goodness and
puff-ball OF purity, Editor Moffet,
donned a republican club hat yesterday
and held his head up among the republi-
cans who congregated, like an old war
horse, ,whiel young Gray wore amore SUBJ
dued, shy and uncertain look. Nice OUT
fit, this "Betsey" Moffet and Gray. It is
evident no one has yet dropped a ssnickle
in the SLOT" In their last issue they are
still undecided but in substance advise
their readers to vote some ticket any
ticket except straight party ticket. It
requires no small amount of gall for q
person who refused to join the republi-
can club and never did join it, to parade
around among men with republican air
that would put to blush a follower Of
Tippecanoe. Moffet never did, and will
not on October LIST. next, vote a
straight republican ticket. His paper
does not nor will not advise
any other person to vote the
straight republican ticket. That's
the kind of a fellow Moffet is. Young
Gray wants to be something lin fact
leans little towards democracy but his
mind operates slowly and he is not yet
fully determined. A few weeks ago he
voted in the republican primaries for re-
publican delegates to the county conven-
tion, and the same week was secretary Of
the democratic county convention and
tried to get proxy to attend the demo-
cratic state convention at Fargo. That's
the kind of an outfit young Gray is. And
then there's 'Betsey," the old man
Gray. There's daisy hypocrite, q.
fraud. He pretends to be democrat,
but he will not vote straight demo-
cratic ticket on October LIST; neither will
he, in his paper, advise others to vote the
straight democratic ticket. That's the
kind Of an outfit the older Gray is. Oh,
its nice, happy family, this "Betsey,"
Moftett and Gray. This is the kind Of
an outfit that has been heretofore in
some parts-but is not any more pull
ling the wool over the eyes Of the farmers.
They are on to the outfit now.

GRAND RAPIDS. TUESDAY. MAY IA


The TELEGRA4- HERALD sincerely
hopes that those who have charge, this
year. OF the arrangements for the exer-
elses % DC held or Memorial Day, VIII
not forget the significance OF the day.
A solemnity properly attaches 10 this
day which does not attach to any 9TH
er holiday on our calendar. IL should
he kept as aholy day rather thanasa hOl-
iday nthepopular meaning thisword.
And yet there has been for some years
past a growing tendency 10 forget the
true spirit OF the day and make II a
day of pleasure. The primary purpose
of the day i, as the proper name for 1t
implies, 10 pay homage "a the memory
of the dead who offered their lives as
a sacrifice for their country in the war
for the Union The Fourth of July
celebrates the signingof the Declaration
of Independence, the beginning of a
struggle which resulted triumphantly.
It is, therefore, not improper % make
Il day of enthusiastic demonstration.
But such demonstrations as belong to
the Fourth of July are no more appro-
pirate for Memorial Day than they
would be II we employed them
at the funeral Of friend.
They are worse than inappropriate;
they show heartless disregard for the
sad and tender memories which this
day revives IN the hearts Of those who
were robbed of loved ones by the war.
They shock the sacred sensibilities of
sorrow.
We do not mean to say that the day
should be gwen up 20 lamentation for
the lOst-nOt at all. A very important
part of proper Observance Of the day
is 10 make u an occasion for impressing,
especially upon the minds OF the young,
the lesson of the cost and value of the
Union. The celebration should, never
thelcss, be serious. Mirth, and the or
dinsry diversions Of holidays are prop
er on proper occasions, but they are as
wrong on Memorial Day as would be
