d. o. r. Of o. II.

In the Farmers Column last week,
our agricultural Editor made refer
ence Ito that grand old party Of or.
ganized hypocrisy which has ap-
pointed Warmoth, the notorious cor.
ruptionist and chief Of the Louisiana
Lottery gang, collector Of customs
at New Orleans" As efforts of the
goody-goody, small.fry, picayune re-
publican papers of North Dakota are
being made to c%onjure into life the
dead and buried political corpse of
lottery and to throw the odium on
democratic newsp apsrs, it might be
we'll to revive a little bit of history
for the enlightenme mt of, those who
might otherwise be deceived by the
vapid utterances OF the ranting, car .
ting d~riveling, sniveling pharisecs Of
the press.
The N. Y. World is authority for
tie statements which follow. The
World, like the Toronto Globe to tie
Scotckman, is the Democrats politi-
cal bible and is above reproacA and
beyond SUSPECT IN in its advocacy of
Of what it believes to be right in
politics, s:2aring neither friend nor
foe. 1t is therefore pre- eminently
worthy of belief and support.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The secret Of

unanimous protest Of the leading Rer ubli-

was one Of the principal instrr ments
through which the Republican National
Committee made q corrnpt bargain with
the louisiana Lottery Company.

In 1883 the Louisiana Lottery was one of
the protected American industries which
had IL "tat'' fried out Of them in order
that Benjamin Harrison might be made
President Of the United States, and last
year again that precious enterprise vas
called upon by the Republican Nation Il
Committee-Clarkson, Dudley & Co.-to
contribute to the Republican fund which
had been organized in or iep to carry the
States for the Republican party. Warmoth
was the agent selected by the Republican
National Committee to the Lottery Company.
It was he who, as Governor Of louisiana
approved the charter under which the Com
pany has done business, and he has welded
. certain power over the { ompany~ from
that day till this. The money was collected
for the campaigne in the new States. but
the Lottery people did not hand over their
money for nothing,
They subscribed on condition that they
were to get q new oh after from North
Dakota. or some ne Of the new States. The
was struck. The Republican
Committee got the money. the Republican
party carried North Dakota, and now North
gives the louisiana Lottery Compa-
ry the charter for which it bargained.
