where he has large property interests. Mr.
Eaton, although staunch Republican, does
not and did not indorse the action OF Gov
| Thayer In his usurpation of the Office of gov
| ernor of Nebraska, and since the decision of
the United States supreme court declaring
Gov. Boyd entitled to the office. he can see
no good reason for Gov. Thaycr holding on
| to the Office.
when left Lincoln said Mr. Eaton, 81
understood Gov. Thayer intended to turn
| over the Office at once. and l was surprised
| to see i'll the morning papers today the an
nouncement that he proposed to hold on as
| long as the courts will allow him to do SO.
The only reason / can think of to account
for this change is that perhaps the papers
and some indiscreet friends of Gov. Boyd
| jumped on Thayer rough shod. He is
| an old man, quite set in his
ways and not at all inclined to be
| driven. When he entered a contest against
| Gov. Boyd, L think he believed he had a good
| case, but was one of at least so per cent of
| the Republicans of Nebraska who did not be-
| lieye that it was right or good politics to de-
| prive Gov. Boyd of his Office on a technical
point. He had been elected governor beyond
| doubt. and should have had the office
Gov. Boyd is good man; have known him
| for twenty years. and am satisfied that he is
| as good citizen as there is in the state of
| Nebraska
1.-THE decision of the state supreme court
| in deciding Gov. Boyd an alien was rendered
under peculiar circumstances was it not?"
No; the decision was all right as regards
the way it was rendered and fled" replied
MIR. Eaton. The court was solidly Repub-
| llean. but two judges, Cobb and Norval,
| Joined in the decision in favor of Gov
| Thayer, while Judge Maxwell dissented.
| The dissatisfaction and claim of unfairness
| came up over the issuing of the writ Of GUS
| ter, giving the Office to Thayer and unseating
| Boyd. This was issued by Judges Cobb and
| Norval without the knowledge of Judge
Maxwell. Now, that the thing is decided. all
| Republicans feel that Gov Thayer ought to
| surrender the Office at once"
| Your district seems to be ably represented
in the lower house of congress this session.
Bryan is an able man. said Mr.. Eaton.
Il do not agree with him in politics, but
| that does not matter. He is fine speaker
| and a man of great attainmeuts. He has
! come to the front in wonderful manner
considering the fact that he is new mem
| Der. of course, he is on the best committee,
| that of ways and means.''
"Will he be re-electeds" was asked
| Il should rather think not answered the
| Nebraska1. Il am a Republican and may be
| prejudiced. but the district is Republican
| and presidential election has usually given
| the Republicans everything in Nebraska
| Mr.. Eaton is an advocate of free coinage.
| and. before going to Nebraska was one of
| the Republican leaders IN Iowa Like many
| other Republicans he is not very strongly in
| favor of a high tariff. AS far as free coinage
| is concerned he thinks it will be found i'll
| neither platform next year, aud, being a
frov II
| he is SO strong Republican that he would
| prefer to vote for Republican candidate for
| president on a gold platf orm to a Democrat,
nominated and running on platform with
| free coinage as one of its corner stones.
! rs not your position similar to that of all
| free coinage Republicans in the West?"
II presume it is" replied Mr.. Eaton. 81
| do not think the Democrats would gain many
| so-called silver states. even If they should
| declare for free coinage"

An interested listener to Mr.. Eaton's ex-
! position of the Nebraska gubernatorial mud
| die was man of perhaps sixty years. with a
| handsome silvery beard almost as long as
| that OF the famous Kansas senator PETER,
and as carefully kept This gentleman was
| j. W. Bull, the well-known attorney of the
/ Zenith City. Before Mr.. Eaton had finished
i his statement of the Boyd-Thayer case Mr..
| Bull broke in and said:
| Boyd will be the next governor of Ne
S braska, elected by the people,
How do you figure that out" said one OF
the party.
1.-THE American people like fair play" said
!! Mr.. Bull, land they never fail to punish a
| proceeding like that. I don't know any
| thing about Nebraska politics. but should
not hesitate to wager that if Gov. Boyd is al
| all careful DO Republican can defeat him al
I the next election after he has been kept on;
of his office for the greater part Of his term
as he has,"
A. r. Dalrymple, of Hillsboro, N D., q
nephew Of Oliver Dalrymple, the bonanza
| wheat farmer of that state. was in the city
| yesterday, and spent the afternoon chatting
with Secretary of State Flttie, of his state, al
| the Merchants. Mr.. Dalrymple is the man
| ager of the Grandin DalrympIe farm, near
| Hillsboro, which contains about 40, 900 acres
5000 of which were under cultivation last
year, and on which the profits for the 1891
crop were no less than $500
You have often heard that farming does
| not pay in North Dakota said Mr. Flittie
Just ask Mir. Dalrymple whether this is So "
| My experience has not proven such tina
| crop on the Grandin farm last year was
| $4,000 bushels of wheat. 1900 bushels OF
| oats and IS. 900 bushels of barley. The wheat
averaged % bushels to the acre. The
| farm has been in operation fif-
| teen years. and IN that time has
| made nearly $500, 0O0 of profits in addition to
| the increased value of the land. This cost us
! on an average of 81 per acre and we are now
| selling off our surplus at S25 per acre. We
| sold two sections the other day at $50. This
| is good showing and YOU may be surprised
| when 1 tell you that we have never had q
! crop failure in the whole period of fifteen
| years."
| Mr.. Dalrymple has a farm of 3,700 acres
| near Casselton in Cass county. for which he
| hires manager, and which produced last
| year 5000 bushels of wheat Is. 900 bushels OF
| oats and 10, 600 bushels of barley

| N. 6. Nelson, of Larimore. n D., an old st.
| Paul boy and the founder of Larimore con-
| firmed Mr. DalrympIe's statements Mr.
| Nelson settled in Larimore IN 1881. was in
| business there until the first of last month.
| He is now on his way South, where he will
| spend The winter When he returns he may
| conclude to locate in st. Paul. Mr. Nelson is
staunch Democrat and opposed to the
| prohibitory law in North Dakota.
THAT prohibition clause would never nave
got in our constitution he said had the
license men worked as hard as the prohibi-
tionsts. 1t is a bad thing, and will have to
| go one of these days. The effect of it can be
seen at Grand Forks. Every train brings men
| in there from as far as sixty miles away to do
| their buyIng. They cross over to East Grand
| Forks in Minnesota and the express company
| the next morning carriesWest and North num-
| berless packages labeled cider, vinegar. etc.
! These men all get something to drink and
| they buy more literally than they otherwise
| would The result is that the trade of the
| merchants in the smaller towns not on the
boundary is greatly injured. There must
/ ana will be "a change. The boot-leggers and
| all that class have to 60 and the regularly
| licensed place come instead
