We are not having fair play in the election

GHOSTS.

Lonely is the way,
Gray the damp mists fan,
Wrapt the dying day
In an ashen pail.
Eerie means the wind,
AS a soul in pain
That seeks peace to find
Eyermore in vain.
Spectral shadows sweep
Past me as 1 go,
Asking If l keep
Mem'ry OF them so.
Yea, know them well,
All these sheeted ghosts
That some evil spell
Woke from sleeping hosts.
Wraiths OF hope long dead
or aspirings high,
Like dream phantoms fed,
Shortlived as a sigh;
Of illusions bright
That the breath OF time
Chilled with early blight,
With tbs world-frosts' rime.
Ay, their graves were made
By the sexton. Past,
Heavily his spade
Ger them earth-clods cast
Hidden meath the mold,
Buried deep and low
In the damp soil cold,
White with fallen snow.
Yet tonight the ghosts
Rise rebukingly,
All the shadowy hosts
Haunt my heart and me.
And the pain Suppressed,
Stihed Tor SO long,
Now no more repress'd,
Breaks forth fierce and strong
As the surglng food
In a single hour.
Sweeps the dams that stood
BuIwarks 'gainst its power
So the raging stream
Flooding mem'r, IS realm,
In its strength supreme,
Seeks to overwhelm.
All deftnses frail
That its course restrain,
'GaInst it to prevail
Ev'ry art is vain.
Vain each futile plan.
FOR no spells of mine
Have the power to ban
Ghosts of"Auld Lang Syne."

A Disastrous Cloud Burst.

DENVER, July 22.-At midnight last
night there occurred a terrific catastrophe
that has temporarily isolated towns up
Clear creek canon from the world. At
that hour an immense cloud burst over the
Forks OF the creek pouring a deluge of
water within the narrow walls of the
anon. 1t completely demolished two iron
railway bridges at the Forks, and as far. a.
can be learned, annihilated all the struc-
lures in the vicinity. The restaurant, depot
and out-houses were all swept away by the
flood. Fortunately, it is believed mo lives
were lost. An immense column of water
laden with wreckage went tearing down
the canon with the result that today from
Forks to Golden there is scarcely avestage
of the railroad left. The greater portion of
the roadbed is washed away and all means
of communication are destroyed. After
the cloud burst a furious hail storm set in,
and it is reported that hail a foot deep is
lying in the canon. At II o'clock this
morning a train loaded with bridge timber
and conveying 200 men left Denver for the
scene of destruction. 1t will be about
three days before the road is repaired.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 22.-The great
fo%ur-oared professional race was the last
event of the day. There were five crews
in the race-Jhe West Ends of Buffalo, the
Fries of Buffalo, Hanlan and Teemer, Hos
mer and Wise. and Ross, Harry Vail, j. A.
Kennedy and d. E. Murphy; and Mckay,
Hamm, Gaudaur and Teneycke. After the
first half Of the down stretch Hanlan's and
Gaudaur's crews were the only ones in the
race, the others beng merely followers in
the procession. Hanlan turned first and
started back two lengths in the advance.
When the half-mile buoy was
reached, Gaudaur spurted and recovered
lost distance. From there to the finish the
two crew strained every muscle trying to
hold and the other to secure an advantage.
Slowly but surely Gaudaur's crew began
to creep up on Hanlan's, and Their they were
passing them. They finished length and
a half ahead. the Hanlan crew being a
length ahead of Erie and Ross, The West
Ends gave up the race half way back. A
heavyrain storm late in the evening pre-
vented the amateur our cared races from

Met on Il Curve,

ST. PAUL, July ga Pioneer Press
special from Ashland, Wis, says: One Of
the most disastrous railroad wrecks of the
year occurred about l o'clock this after
moo on the Kakauna division of the Mil
waukee, Lake Shore & Western railway,
thirty-tive miles north of New London.
Trains Nos. 9 and II, way freights, met
while running at full speed on a sharp
curve between Whitcomb and Tigerton.
A fireman and a brakeman, whose names
cannot be learned. were killed instantly
and four others were probably fatally in
iured. Engineer John Ryan cannot live.
Engineer VIM: Laing was severely hurt in
~ternally and his legs were broken. Cars
were piled up in a heap many feet high,
completely breaking up and demoIishing
the engines. No. 8 had orders to get to
Whitcomb TO let No. IL pass, while the lat
ter had similar orders for Tigerton. The
two stations are only four miles apart and
there is a sharp curve about half way be-
tween, and on this the Inflated trains met.
The dispatcher at Eland junction is
thought to be responsible. Through trans
will be delayed six to seven hours.

Especial. 1.-The delegates devoted most of
last night and all of this morning to eau
cusing. The convention met at 2 p. m The
johnson men secured the temporary Or
ganization and put l.. c. Wykoff in the
chair. The Hansbrough men named Wal
ter Muir for temporary chairman and lost
much strength thereby. A fight for an
hour then ensued over the committee on
credentials. 1t was finally decided to al
low the delegates from each legislative
district to name two, making six IN all, and
the chair to name the seventh. 1t is now
claimed that the Hansbrough men have
four OF the committee. a wrangle then
ensued over the committee on permanent
organization and the committee named by
the same manner as the previous one. Re-
cess was then taken till 7 o'clock.
FOR BURKE.
The convention is a unit for Burke for
governor. The fight is confined entirely to
the choice for who shall have the Cass
county delegation to Grand Forks when it
comes to a vote for congressional honors.
The friends of Haggart, Edwards and
Ball, who are championing Johnson's
cause, have been laboring with Burke all
day in an attempt to compromise their diff
Eferences so as to go to the state convention
kunpledged, the Edwards-Haggart-Ball fac
tion promising a determined support to
the last; and yet as determined
to make Johnson the mex representative
from North Dakota. Burke demands an
instructed delegation to the state conven-
ton for himself, and asks that it be neutral
as to congressional delegate, and his Hans.
brough friends demand that the delega-
ton go for Burke and Hansbrough. The
johnson men are willing that the delega-
ton be an uninstructed one all around.
This does not satisfy Burke and his friends,
and the johnson men are just as deter
mined it shall be their way. 1t will prob
ably take all night to settle the question:.
