Takes Defeat Gracefully,

Devils Lake Inter Ocean (Hansbrough's
paper): On behalf of Mr.. Hansbrough, the
Inter-Ocean desires to say: The republic
cans of North Dakota in convention as
sembled have done exceeding we'll. By
their action they have not only quieted the
fears OF the S~candinavians, but they have
made atOnement for the wrong done their
countrymaD, M. N. johnson, by the last
Legislature in refusing to confirm the nomi-

done more than this: They have destroyed
the last lingering hope of democracy that
North Dakota could be made a democratic
state. There is not a single element that

to to hays been ignored, no sore
vengeance; the farmers were met
more than half way and have no griev-
ance to appeal to the people on, the third
party can gain no foothold in North Dako-
ia through basing claims to recognition on
sins OF omission or commission on the part
OF the republicans. Even the prohibition
lists are satisfied and those in favor of tariff
reform approve the expression of the con-

with the position OF the candidates. Mr..
HanSbrOugh alone, and as an individual,

that he had no connection with or relation
to, but he accepts, like the true soldier that
he is, the vigorous fighter that he is recog-
nized to be, the fortunes of war and eX-
tends to the Hon. M. N. johnson his most
cordial congratulations; and the Inter-
Ocean pledges to him its most earnest and
most hearty support. And on behalf of
the republicans Of Ramsey county, native
as well as foreign born, it pledges the vote
OF the county without a scratch. Our diff
ferences are local and personal. When
they will be settled or how, no one can
say Time may wear them out and the
day may come when Ramsey county will

the position in the party to which it is en-

To those at home who have secured the
defeat OF Mr.. Hansbrough. and to them
alone. is due all credit. He desires to say:
worthy Of any mans steel. Whether the
contest now on must be fought to a finish

Theodore Child will contribute to the
next number of Earper's Weekly a timely
article on "The Argentine Republic and it's
Present Crisis" Having spent the six
months from January to July, 1890, in
South America, Mr.. Child writes directly
from his W observation and experience.
The paper is the result of a careful person.

country of the Argentines, and of the
causes which have led to the present COM

Jamestown Alert: There was no more
popular nomination made than that of
Hon. George Harmon, OF Morton county, as
railroad commissioner He got there on
the first ballot. away ahead of all competi-
tors. This was a double honor, as his dele
CATION had been seated in the convention.
Mr.. Harmon is we'll liked for his many ad-
mirable qualities and steadfast policy in
adhering to principle.
Mandan Pioneer: Hon. G. C. Moore was
on to-day's train on his way home to Mer-
Ger county. 1t is reported that j. II. Cook
wants to step into the legislature in place
OF MIR. Moore. 1t is fairly safe to believe
that If Mercer county is represented in the
legislature this coming year, it will not be
by Mr.. Cook. Unfortunately Mr.. Cook is
not enough OF a politician to stand for his
friends.
Catarrh Cured.
A clergyman, after years of suffering
from that loathsome disease catarrh, and
