10 the Democratic c,onvent,.,,, !,

At the risk Of appearing.presump
no,is bat neverthclcss.in the spirit 8
pure patriotism, We venture to offer
word Of advice TO tae Democrats 500,
1 70 convene At Grand Forks.
That Democrats have at heart tlei
rariy's welfare, which is III Tie trues
sense, that Of their state and country
j. not 70 be disputed that there ar,
differences az 70 the proper method
of securing that object, is also a fact
but if il be understood and believed
that in this campaign, the 'Repnblica,
party, bothin the state and natl IN,
] Lave made record which Constitute
the one vial Issue before tile people.
the way to victory will be made eas,
of accomplishment.
The extravaganza exhibited in th,
reckless expenditure Of the surplus
money Of the people, by which til,
country is brought face to face with .
deficit; the unblushing infamy Of til.
tariff bill which has passed the lowe,
house Of Congress, by which the
masses are etill to be made to pa,
taxes upon the necessaries Of life for
the ben ,f. of few; in which 18th ere
is not section or a line that will
open a market f1r another bushel oil
wheat or a barrel Of pork; the revo-
lltiohary m aasures now pending by
which it is sought to continue the re.
publican party in power, whether the
people will otherwise or not-these
all furnish record which if prop.
erly presented to the people of N,,rsh
Dakota will efectualIy consign to
eternal infamy that party, which is
now Systematically plundering the
people and undermining its very
liberties.
In matters Of our state. we find the
same vulnerable record--as witness
the legislation Of last winter by which
the elevator companies. aided and
abetted by the Sc ed wheat commission,
have got the ''dead immortal cinch"
on the farmers. Here then is the
Democratic opportunity. A vigor-
Gus campaign with all that that signi-
hes and with able ard worthy men to
carry the standard, there is not
only a fighting chance, but the battle
y half won before it is begun. .
But the Democratic convention, must
avoid any complimentary nominations
and the men to oachom the positions are
rendered must regard It as a duty and an
honor to accept, and no office should be
rendered unless it be kno,rn that it ,ciU be
accepted,
Here are names of gentlemen
whom the Office should seek and who
should not decline the honor, many
of whom have already been honored
BY the party, whose time, talent and
treasure be long to their party, who
are emlnently qualified to fill the
offices, and in whose elevation to
power, every Democrat would RI ioice
and feel proud.
Give us then for Congress, either
Judge Roderick Rose, John D. Ben.
ton, VIM. E. Purcell, w. R, B.erly,
Badd Reeve or Martin Ryan and
for Governor, Hon. M. L. McCor.
mack, Peter Cameron, w. N. Roach,
s. Is. McGinnis, D. w. Maratta or
!. r. Fulton. With two men who
might be chosen from the above,
there will be no difficulty in placing
an inyincible ticket in the field and
viii, an active, intelligent, edacative
press 70 force the fghtirg 6, victory fol
the right and the people, is assured.
Z should be borne in mind that
there are some statesmen out in the
gopher and COW counties too.
.----.---.--
We c!,eerfully bear testimony te
the worthiness and ability of the can.
