G. & N. W. The FIRST regiment
band Of Valley City was along and
while the several companies we're
out drilling the crack regiment band
delivered some lively military music.
The boys all looked and felt well and
eager for the five days encampment,

marcl, Capt. |. G. Wade, of James,
town, Editor Bassford of the Alli-

pulled out Of the Union depot in
charge of Conductor Shirk, loaded

Reports are current that John
Miller, = oi nichland, is out Of the
race for gubernatorial honors. Such
is not the case from the fact that
Miller has never given his friends
the funniest idea that he was ever in
the race, simply spontaneous out
burst OF the people, the masses, the
farmers if you please, that he ought
to become the candidate for governor.
Whenever John Miller says he is in
the race, then will it be proper For
politicians to count him out if they
choose: but il he ever goes in the
race don't worry about the success of
lls canvass, nor do not worry about
his deciding to withdraw until he
has ut least entered the race.

1t has got to be pretty late in the
day of enlightenment for amy one
man to join the Farmers Alliance
and then proclaim it from the house
tops that being a men Der of that
organization he will vote the entire
body for himself for Governor
Such proceedings might do if the
Alliance was organized for political
purposes. But there are too many
smart, lcvel-headed men in the
Alliance to allow any one man to
tear down Their institution by pros
titutlnS it for political purposes.
Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1889-06-28

The Alliance has been quoted
wrongly Of late i'll that they de-
mahd that our first Governor shall
and must be farmer. This story
apparently has been set in motion
by some member Of the Alliance
but our understanding is they de-
mand, and justly, too, that the man
they support for Governor will be a
fair and capable man, with a mind
trained and capable to cope with
questions vital to the agricultural
interest, as we'll as the interest OF
all other classes; that he shall be an
honest, clear-headed man, whether
he be farmer or otherwise. The
REPUBLICAN was and is in favor Of
Il f;.rmer for Governor, but we be-
Iieve that man should be Hon. John
Miller, Of Richland, if he can be
induced to accept it. But we be-
lieve it places the Alliance in fal Sc
light t, when it is claimed they must
have a farmer, no matter what may
be his other qualifications. The
conservative and majority of the
Alliance are too shrewd and practi-
cal men to let that idea go uncon-
tradicted. The members of the
Alliance are no fools, nor are they a
political organization. They may
haye members enrolled whose only
aim is to use the Alliance to further
their own political ambitions, but
that does not always work. The
Alliance never organized for the
purpose Of boosting one Of their
members politically, but for mutual
protection and council, and for the
edifcation OF agricultural pursuits
and as The REPUBLICAN understands
it their demands politically are just
as body, and should be listened to
Let the first candidate for Governor
Of North Dakota be in sympathy
with the just demands Of the ALI.

A Boston letter to the COngregatioRa,-
iai saws: - have directly learned from
the best authority that a distillery firm
within three miles of the Massachusetts
state House has a contract TO furnish
3. 900 gallons of rum daily to the African
trade Tor the next seven years. This
would be equivalent to almost l,OOO,OJO
gallons annually. 1t will be a surprise
TO many TO learn that almost all the
rum manufactured in the United
States is made within five miles
OF our State House. During the
last six years the total quantity manufac-
tured and deposited in the distillery
warehouses OF the country was IL, 49,
7O4 gallons, an average of l,S55,6l7 gal
Ions yearly, of which total the distilleries
around the Hub made 10, 400, 100 gal
Ions, or 81 per cent of all made in this
country. Almost all Of the liquor sent
from the United States to curse Africa Is
sent from Boston. No other liquor than
that most accursed of all liquors, Bos-
tons rum, is sent from America to the
Dark Continent

A BOok-Buyer who Was Watched.
lChicaeo Newsl

The other afternoon very modest
looking gentleman sauntered into Nc
Clurg's book store and began looking at
the treasures in the English corner. SIR.
Millard eyed the stranger with suspi-
cion, for the reason that not very long
ago q understanding gentleman pocket
ed several treasures and made oil with
them. But MIR. Willard was not long in
discovering that the quiet stranger knew
somewhat OF books, for he talked very
intelligently of the best editions. Mr..
Willard began, in fact, to feel sorry for
the man. "Here, thought he, lis a
gentleman who is a bibliomaniac. See
how iondly his fireless eyes gloat on
those extra-illustrated Dibdins What
envious, what hopeless pangs are now
surging in his bosom Poor devil, it is
my duty to steer him away from those
incomprehensible prizes and up against
some books within the compass OF his
means"
But the stranger would not be steered
worth cent. He would inspect nothing
but the costliest treasures. 81 am sorry
that you have sold the Washington
Burns" said he, ruefully. 81 would
have taken it and been only too glad to
get it.
"Our price was $780," suggested Mr..
MilIard.
"Cheap enough" said the stranger
quietly. "And now may l ask You to
send these five volumes to me at the
RicheEeu Hotel ? The clerk will pay the
bill. BY the way, what is the whole
amount"
1.-TWO hundred and thirty-fve dol
lars" said Mr.. Willard lmpressively.
"Well. send them TO the Rlchelieu at
once" said the stranger, "and the clerk
will pay the charges for me"
A far-away, distrustful, bilious
look stole into Mr.. Millard's keen eyes.
"What name, please? asked MIR. Mil
lard firmly. but courteously.
George w. Vanderbilt, of New
York." said the modest stranger, de-
murely.
