Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-09-06
LET Us HAVE STRAIGHT BUSINESS

publican ticket, because that would be
urging an impossibility. Human nature
is about the same in all men and sore
disappointment breeds strife and distrust.
But the TRIBUNE does urge all republi-
cans, whether entirely satisfied or not, to
vote the straight republican ticket. Dis
appointment nor dissatisfaction is net
sufficient cause for boiling party ticket,
squarely,regularly and unanimously NOM
mated. One can and ought to vote the
ticket, even though he be dissatisfied with
one or two nominees, unless it is charged
and proven that the nominees are corrupt
and DANCE, GUS men. No such charge can
be made against the republican ticket. 1t is
composed of honorable, competent and
worthy men, and when the TRIBUNE says
.ticket'' it means the local legislative and
judicial as we'll as state. The apportlon-
ment of this county has been based on
the total vote heretofore but in all future
republican conventions it will be based
on the republican vote. This is but one
reason why the full party strength
should be polled this fall. The nominees
are good men. Does any republican farmer
question that Mr.. Rawlings is as honest,as
capable and as Deserving of support
as Mr.. Shelton, the democratic nominee?
This fact being admitted then there is no
excuse for republican in the country
to vote against Mr.. Rawlings. Is not
Colonel Little, the republican nominee
for state senator, as loyal, as public
spirited, as good and worthy citizen in
every way as Joseph Hare, the demo-
cratic nominee, who i'll order to gain re-
publican votts said he would, if elected,
vote for republican senator, knowing
when he said it, that he wouldn't have a
! chance, if he wanted to-is not Colonel
Little, who is republican, first, last and
all the time, entitled to the full support
of his party? Then there is Hon. E. A.
Williams. whose good deeds for Bis
marck are so well known on every side.
Can any thoughtful and fair-minded re.
publican of Burleigh county vote for a
"back number" "a superannuated dys-
peptic, whose very soul has been stepped
III democracy, hypocracy and bile during
his whole lifetime---can any republican,
can any good citizen vote for "Betsey' A.
D. Gray and against Hon. E. A. Williams?
The opponent to Mr.. w. II. Win
chester has not yet been named, but
whoever he is, why should republican
desert his party because Of past antipathy
towards Mr.. Winchester? He was
fairly nominated unanimously nomi-
nated-by the delegates from every
county in the district. He comes
from good New England stock,
is man of determination, keen and
ready perception and promises, if elected,
to impsrtialIy hear and determine all
causes that may be tried before him.
The height Of his ambition is to be fair
and impartial Judge. That is laudable
ambition, and that he will please his
friends and disappoint his enemies, the
TRIBUNE verify believes. No one gues-
tions Mr.. E. s. Aliens fitness for clerk Of
the court. He is young attorney. will
devote his time to the duties of the Office
and if he should receive now and then a
vote outside of his party-he'u not dis
appoint his friends.
The republican ticket is all right.
Every man on the ticket will be elected.
There is no question about it. What the
TRIBUNE wants to see is the majority
kept up to the highest notch in Burleigh
county. This is the first state election
and it means something. Let all repub-
licans be republicans, discourage all dis
cord and pull together. Let's wipe off
the slate and begin statehood with q
clean record. Let there be no use, in
this campaign, for either the fool killer or
the branding iron of treachery.
In the number Of land patents issued
during the fiscal year ending July 9th,
Dakota leads all states and territories
in fact doubles the record Of Kansas
which is next in size. The total number
