1t seems impossible to please some
people. Last week the COURIER
thought it was paying Berg, Jacobson,
and few others a compliment by
calling them by their right names
mugwumps, but it seems we missed
it, at least they feel sore about it
and now there is talk of another paper
being started right away, to be called
The Mugwump, with Rollef Berg
as editor, John o. Ole treasurer and
financier (and he will make daisy on
account of his careful distribution of
senNs)se) and Frithiof Greenland
foreman and office devil. The former
gentleman having had considerable
experience heretofore will undoubt-
edly make the new venture success.
The COURIER has already replenished
its stock oftype, etc, from the remains
of the first venture Of the kind and
about the time the next one is ready
to send in its obituary we shall need
some more. Wade in, boys, we shall
still continue to do business at the
old stand.

With our next issue we hope to
hoist at our masthead the regular
nominated republican ticket of state
officers for the new state of North
Dakota, to be voted for in October.
There will undoubtedly be three
tickets at least in the field this fall,
the republican, democratic, and
alliance, of which our people will
have the right to choose which one
shall come out victorious. AS re-
publican newspaper it will be our
duty to support the republican ticket,
and if we hurt the feelings Of a few
disgruntled mugwumps we shall feel
as though our work is OF some avail.
You know that if you have boil on
your neck and your coat collar rubs
it, it becomes very sore, we'll, that is
just exactly the way it works with a
mugwump. If paper comes out
hat-footed for either party and
quietly suggests to the muswump
that it would only be matter Of COM
mon decency for them to pile over
the fence one side or the other, they
Immediately rise up in vlrtuous. .indig-
nation and kick and snarl like bear
with a sore head; threaten to lick ths
editor; talk of starting new paper;
stop their advertising patronage to
the paper because in its feeble efforts
it has manhood enough to do what
it can for its party, while they, poor
benighted mugwumps are afraid to
get over on one side or the other for
fear they will hurt the feelings Of their
friends because they come out as
either democrats or republicans. In
conclusion, if there is a few around
town who think they can bulldoze
the COURIER by threatening to start
another paper, their efforts will fail.
They can start another paper
certainly, but they can't scare
this enlightened journal of civili-
zation, not much, Mary Ann. We
are loaded with grape for mug
wumps.

The COURIER will try and publish
as good paper as possible every
Friday, doing justice to both business
men and farmers, but reserves the
right to boss its own affairs, notwith-
standing the few cranks who are try
ing to break it up. \ similar
scheme was tried on the editor of the
Tower City Herald last winter, but
Editor Cornell still gets out his
paper Notwithstanding. You might

Hon. David Bartlett wanted the

Hon. David Bartlett wanted the
question Of locating the public insti-
tutions voted on by the people as a
separate article but the convention
voted the resolution down by vote
of a. to 80. Mr.. Bartlett made the
following plea in behalf Of the minor
ity:
"The unusual manner in which this
question has been brought up was
unexpected by me. 1 am we'll aware
that / represent the opinion of the
minority on this floor this afternoon,
and as far as l am concerned | bow
to that majority. However you may
have obtained that majority, you have
it. Now l ask in behalf of at least
thirty members, and l think more
l ask in all fairness that you adopt
this section and that this matter be
submitted separately, that the people
may have, if they wish to locate these
institutions, that they may have a
right to do so. Refuse this section
and you compel at least thirty MEM
bers that sit in this convention to-day
to refuse to sign your constitution
you compel at least thirty who have
sat here from the Fourth Of July until
now, trying to do their duty, to go
home say to their people that they
have been unable to accomplish it,
and to ask their people to refuse to
endorse their work. don't believe
that this convention can afford to do
this. Refuse this section-refuse to
submit this matter separately, and you
forever bar all compromise with the
minority here, which l think is re-
spectacle minority. Refuse it, as l
say, and you compel us to take the
steps that we here and now state that
we do not wish to take, and would
much rather not take. Refuse this,
and the republicans in this convention
endanger the success of the republican
party in this new state this fall. You
may smile, but it is a fact. We know
that not only have the votes of the
majority been obtained, but that they
have been obtained by every means
known to the power of corporations,
by promising and farming out so far
as that influence could go, every office
and position on the state ticket this
fall-We know that and are satisfied
of it. Refuse this section, and you
compel at least thirty members OF
this convention to join with any par
ty-to join with any alliance that will

The Minneapolis Exposition this
year will contain a greater number o
attractive exhibits than ever. At q
recent meeting of prominent Mime
apolis manufacturers, it was decided
to put in very elaborate displays,
and in order to add interest to them,
it was decided that they should be
movable in character. Manufact-
urers from abroad are showing much
interest this year owing to the recent
admission to the sisterhood of states
of North and South Dakota, Montana
and Washington, and as result are
bringing forward their finest goods
for exhibition at Minneapolis.
Prominent among these are Messrs.
Powers & Weightman, OF Philadelphia,
the largest manufacturers of chemicals
in the world, who will place on exhi-
bition their mammoth display that
they had at London, Paris and other
old world centers. A number of
others equally prominent in the man
ufacturing world will be represented,
so that undoubtedly in point Of gen
eral interest, the Exposition Of 1889
will be the best yet held.
