administra ion had not gone far until we
found the democratic party had new

As 2 Legacy Of the. war we have those
who in the days OF the struggle barred their
breasts to shot and shell. MANY were
wounded. many more had constitutions
wrecked. When those men asked for aid
from the democratic administration they
were insulted. The Grand Army said It
had no sympathy with the democratic adj
ministration and aided In retiring Cleveland
He could see how, man in the east could
be q democrat, but he could not under
stand how there could be democrat in
Dakota as long as it was known that An
drew jackson Sparks was q democrat.
[Applause.] He described Sparks bru-.
tality to the settler. He believed that the
democratic party received its inspiration
from the south. 1t would be different il
these good, Well-meaning fellows in the
north dictated the policy, but they cannot
since they lost their slaves their fields have
gone to weeds. Here uncle Baker (col-
Oredl aroused applause by shouting, .:you
bet" The democrats opposed the admis-
sion Of the territories because they knew
that they were republican. Mr.. Miller
said he would speak about the tariff in his
candidate and he was proud Of represent
ing SD honorable a calling. He found that
in the busy walks of life the brain and
Drawn came from the farm. In New York
state it was from the country the great
republican majority rolled up to overcome
New York city. He believed that all
interests should be interviewer
together. Anyone who thinks the good of
the state can be advanced by making war
on any one interest is mistaken. With re-
gard to the difference in interests and the
the panacea for your troubies-dem0cratic
free trade. He investigated and found that
the wheat production in 1850 was LIS, 100000
bushels-ab0ut what the people OF the
country consumed. In 1870 we raised 1885,
000, 600 bushels. In 1880, 459y 100000, show
in home consumption We found that we
were raising more wheat than we could
use. Mr.. Miller then proceeded to show
that the only hope Of farmers and pro-
ducers of America is policy Of protection
for home industries which will build and
sustain home market; He did not claim
that the present tariff dealt fairly with all
interests, cut it preserved home market.
The democrats say they are opposed to
truStS-We all are. 1t is in the constitution.
Free trade will be in the interest of the
rich man and against the POORLY cheapen-
ing products it will increase the purchas-
pealed to the republicans to go 60 to the polls
and support their ticket and place North
Dakota In the column Of republican states.
He closed with compliments for ex-Gover-
nor Pierce, who followed him. His speech
was loudly applauded.
EX-GOVERNOR PIERCE
being introduced, stepped to the front, but
it was several moments before he could
speak, so deafening was the applause
which greeted him. He declared that Mr..
Miller had made his speech. They had
been travelling together for week and he
thought Mr.. Miller had been taking notes.
Somehow he could not speak to a home
audience. When away from home ne
could stumble along and make speech
but when he faced Bismarck audience
his courage left him. he hoped every re
publican in Burleigh county would vote
the! straight republican ticket. It seemed
to him that everybody should be republic
can-there is so much to expect from the
such good work for Dakota. We are in
debted to the republican party for being
here seeking and getting homes. Whe1
the first bill for the homestead law was in
troduced the southerners opposed it. They
wanted to know II the republican party
desired sir \. TO- 7. give s. away the public
publicans replied they would if they
could. breckenridge, who was vice ;presi-
dent cast the deciding vote against the
law. Another bill was introduced giving
aman homestead after five years resi-
dence. This was passed but it received
they struggled during the next administra-
ton and passed the bill, and when it re-
turned from the white house it bore the sig.
nature of tnat splendid man, Abraham
Lincoln. [Applause.] He believed that
for these small reasons, il for nothing else,
cans cal I What NJ Miller Miller had S said II reeardine sd
the country districts was indeed true.
When cities went back upon us-when the
slums refused to respond to the republican
call, it was from the farms that the voice of
patriotism came and the army was formed.
When the people of North Dakota met in
they should choose honest John Miller of
Richland county to lead them in the contest.
He then presented q circular charging that
John Miller was in the employ Of q New
York syndicate, who would use the money
obtained from the bonsnza farm TO lobby
duty on twine, sugar, lumber and salt and
ridiculed the document. The governor said
he did not believe the circular. was en-
dOrsed by the North Dakota democratic
committee; he did not believe it was en-

that 1t was not issued by any democrat in
