closet to see him he said, at is we'll
send Dennie for fresh handful OF
sand off of MulIen's grave" and the
servant did as he was told, and the
'familiar spirit returned and said:
keep them fighting" And they did as
they we're told--and at the end OF the
third day the ambitious candidates were
confused and mixed up On account or
their great numbers and were very
weary; and Prince Gilbert had only
reached nineteen votes, and some OF
them were complimentary. AT this
showing he was exceedingly depressed
and discouraged. On the morning OF
the fourth day early the king and his
counsel met and the familiar spirit"
appeared with them and said: NOW
that you have CHOSEN my counsel and
done as directed, behold, Prince Gil
bert is dead-the ambition of many
men hath killed him, as foretold IN the
beginning-this day senator shall be
chosen" And
The King Said.
"Who may it be, good lord?'
And the familiar spirit said "See.
Ball" And they again did as they
were told, and part Of the forces OF the
prince went over unto Ball. And when
the people saw that the prince was
dead, and that Ball had risen up, they
immediately said, "Behold, they want
to give US railroad attorney and turn
US over to mOnOpOIy;" and they shouted
with one accord, This is worse than
Hansbrough.'' And they took another
ballot and HanSbrough was chosen.
When this was done the king was sit
ing alone in his bedroom. But his
faithful servant Donnie and his chief
counselor ran forthwith and told him
the news. And in the evening the king
was seen with these and many more,
and Baily Fuller was sitting OH his knee
holding his head; and the king looked
gloomy. And your correspondent Ell
tered the
Kings Bedroom
and said, "Why mournest though"
And he answered, "My heart is heavy
because Prince Gilbert is dead. We are
told to mourn with those who mourn
we are doing this first; by and by we
will laugh with those who laugh" And
few hours after the king was seen
filled with wine having good time with
the boys, and his joy was greater than
his mourning. His faithful servant,
Donnie, went to bed and slept for the
first time in many nights, and next
morning was seen shoyeling down Bly'S
hash, the first he had tasted for many
weeks. The kings chief counsel took
the midnight train for st. Paul with a
smile on his face larger than sun
flower. But to listen to the dead and
dying, to hear their curses and groanS
was terrible. There was not only one
swearing train, but they are running
yet, and will continue to
Run All Winter.
The king took the crown from Prince
Gilbert by pure SUrategy-Dy tickling
other mems ambition and vanity. Col.
Lounsberry was so,sure of election that
it was reported he had written his ac-
ceptance and had begun to parcel out
the offices. One man said he heard Col.
Smith Stimmel say he would not take
$50, 900 for his chances, and he would
get the office without spending cent.
Gen. Walter Muir said he was the
only available man, and could not see
how the members could be so blind as
to overlook him; but they did. Honora-
BILE Honest John Miller was reported to
have said if prayer and backbone ana
resemblance TO Gen. Grant would co uni
for anything, he was sure winner: lie
did not win. If Il. +. Miller could have
united the
Cass County Delegation
he might have won. But he could not
unite. This is a true history of the SEN
atorial fight at Bismarck, and the I'M
browning of Prince Gilbert, as was
done in the year 1891, all but the part
the Democrats played. The Democrats
held the key to the situation: Let us
see what they did with that key. Did
they unlock the door for their own ben
eft or that of some one else? or did they
loan another fellow the key and let him
walk off with it? Did the Democrats
select wise and patriotic leader, or did
they select weak, vain man, and sell
fish dumbhead? These are questions
for the public to decide, not the writer,
and in putting construction on his
acts, the public are asked 10 be charlta
BILE and fair-not mean and llllberal.
