also was member, on condition that

GENERAL ALLEN told Washington
reporter a few days since that North Da-
kota is no longer safe republican state.
The general has not been in the state
enough during the last year to entltle
him to speak. He probably read Bis
marck telegram to that effect-and that
is all he knows about it. North Dakota
can be relied upon in '92-as in 80 and
in 'S8 and in other years-to roll up the
usual republican majority. The only
question is the size of the majority and
that Will undoubtedly be an increased
one. Alex. Mckenzie is probably as
astute and we'll informed IN politics as
any man IN the state. He was inter
viewed at Minneapolis few days ago
and in answer to an inquiry as to the
condition of the republican party in
North Dakota said
Every good. At the presidential cleo
ton the state will go republican by from
1900 to $1,000 majority Yes, I see I
am accused of attempting to turn the
state over to the democrats. It is fair to
Judge by the votes as they are cast, and
| will refer you to the returns from Bur-
leigh and Morton counties and the more
remote sections OF the Missouri slope
last fall. The largest republican majori-
ties were given in that district, while in
the sections influenced by the parties
who put that lie in circulation, the dem
ocratic vote was the heaviest in years.
There are no factions in the party that
know of, and the chances are that the
party Will pull through the next cam
paign in entire harmony"
