editor, who persisted in keeping a little
too close to the fence to suit the indie

Germ have discharged him from control.

preciate his ability, MI. Fleming has col

EXECUTIVE MANAGER BARRY, having
convinced the Independents Of Burleigh
county that Dan Williams stands pledged
to vote for the independent candidate
for United States senator, has moved ON
to Kidder county where he will put up a
job to knock the republican nominees
out if possible. Barry is no fool. He is
working his senatorial racket in good
shape and the democrats are the suckers.
They having surrendered to the indie
pendents in most of the legislative dis
tricts they will be in a helpless minority
in the legislature, and if that body
should be against the republicans none
but genuine calamityites need apply for
the job of United States senator. What a
nice spectacle for democracy. The good
judgment Of the straight republicans of
the state will, however, save them from
such humiliation.

The following from q CasseIton CORE
spondent of the Fargo Forum in confr-
nation of the Tribune's idea of the effect
of Teigen's withdrawal and the political
situation generally:
The announcement of the withdrawal
of DIR. Teigen from the Independent ticket
carries CONSERVATION into the ranks of that
party. The indications are that this action
will break the combination with the demo-
Gratis. If such a thing takes place, and
there is every reason to believe that
it will, the opposition to the repuDli-
can party will dwindle into factions of but
small Importance. Here, in this end of
Cass county, the Independents are fast
losing ground, and with their candidates
DESERVING them they will fall back to the
parties from whence they came before the
day of election. The course of events
have been such this year, in North Dakota,
that large numbers of democrats will sup
port the republican ticket in November.
Many Of the local leaders of that party
have become convinced that it will be
made more advisable to retain the republi-
cans in power, than to turn the state over
to an uncertain quantity, out of which
there might arise issues that would become
detrimental to the general welfare of the
people. Hence, for these reasons party
lines will be broken this fall.

The Edgeley Mail falls into that pop
ular error Of claiming that the republi.
a party has 'held control for thirty
years in spite of the fact that a popular
majority has voted against it," Cleve-
land did not have a majority Of. the
popular vote in 1884. He lacked
226,027 votes, or lib per cent. of having
a majority Of the popular vote still be
served at president from 1884 to 1883.
Garfield, in 1880, had 3O6.322 votes, or
LA per cent. less than a popular ma
jority. Grant and Tildel had popular
majorities, and so did Lincoln in 1864,
but in the contest OF 1861 Lincoln
lacked 944,149 Of having a popular ma
jority. If democrats who are laboring
under the deluslon that Cleveland re-
ceived a majority of the popular vote in
1888 will take the trouble to look the
matter up, and not take the statements of
democratic stump speakers and CAM
paign newspapers, they will find that
Cleveland lacked 320,315 of having a
popular majority.

No STATES in the union are divided by
such a distinct boundary line as North
and South Dakota. Congress appro-
priated s25,O0O for this purpose, and the
work has been completed, examined by
Inspector Beardsley and found correct
in every respect. Between the Mime
sofa and Montana lines there are 800
granite monuments. The monuments
erected were of Sioux Falls granite, 10
inches square and. 7 feet sslong. They
were planted 81 feet deep. On the
north side of each showing the letters
IN. d.; the south side of each showing
the letters rs. D." The monuments are
one-half mile apart; every other one
carrying the number of miles sfrom the
east boundary of the state, and alternate
ones showing the character ~" The
range number is also shown on each
monument that is planted on the range
line. The average distance of this line is
65 miles south of the Northern Pacific
railroad, thus the transportation of the
monuments was no small item. Those
for the region west of the Missouri river
were then taken by wagons, the further
most about 225 miles. Two of the monu-
ments made a load for one team.

HARRY OLIVER has 10 fear as to the
result of the election IN North Dakota.
"The state is we'll organized" says he,
"and republicans have no fears of the re-
suit. We will give Harrison 10000 ma
jority, and that of Burke will not fall
very short of that figure. The %independ-
ents are losing ground every day because
of the injudicious utterances of the in
dependent press" The signs are every
where. A careful study of republican
prosperity, a general dissatisfaction with
fusion and the ever occurring REPUTATION
of democratic assertions as to the oppres-
sion and poverty of the workipgman are
working their own results. And those
results are discouraging to the demo

II custom and precedent is followed
in this county candidates for the various
offices must get out and make a personal
canvass-must make a "button-hole'

ever in a position to do away with this
vicious and unseemly practice it is the

for this reform was ripe the present is
the time. The republicans of this

and in convention. A good, straight
clean ticket was nominated from top to

individuals, but by a. party, after com

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, OCT. 81 1899
endorsement of democrats or calamityites.
The republican ticket stands on it's

endorsement of democrats or calamityites.
The republican ticket stands on its
merits.
The nominees have nothing to do with
any fusion movement or with any other
ticket or scheme whatever, except in the
line of straight republicanism. They
stand solid, each for the other, and each
for the republican ticket from presiden-
tial electors down to %constables. They
stand upon the republican platform and
in defense of republican principles.
Arrayed against them are a number of
mongrel tickets representing all the isms
and any principle imaginable. The dem
ocrats have sold their birthright for a
mess Of pottage and their ticket is a crazy
quilt. It is as striped as a zebra. A
couple of heretofore republicans who
have personal grievances are Endorsed
for the legislature-men who are willing
and ANXIOUS to sell out the party, and
are now working with all their might to
defeat republican success. All sorts Of
alleged independent movements are
started IN engineered, not by any consid-
cradle number of people, but by a close
corporation-Baker, Barnes & Co.-the
avowed enemy of the republicans.
The republican nominees hold forth in
the big tent only. They are not engaged
in the side. show business. They have
no interest whatever in anything but
straight goods.
This is presidential year and the first
opportunity is given us to vote for presi-
dent Of the United States. A vote
against the republican state, county or
district ticket is a vote against the or
ganization that is working night and
day for the supremacy of r~epublicanism
in this state, and the election of Harri-
son and Reid electors. A man who cuts
the straight republican ticket in any
manner weakens the machine by which
it is hoped to accomplish national sue
cess. No ticket, no set of men, no
organization, except the nominees on the
straight republican ticket and the COM
mlttee-the Northumberland it, is work.
ing for republican success. There is no
middle ground. It is republicanism or
anti-republicanism. Can there be any
hesitation on the part of republicans as
to their duty?

RECORD smashing seems to be the
order of the day. Nancy Hanks, the
queen of the turf has several times
shattered the trotting record and breaks
it to fragments, with a speedlof 2:0 on
q regulation track. The pacing record,
also, goes down, shivered and shattered
before the time of 2:04. johnson, the
Minneapolis lad has splintered the old
bicycle record, and the time 1856 3-5
stands in its stead. And last but not
least is Grover Sleveland's recent effort
to make a bran-new pension record for
himself. Growers record, however, was
made while he wal in the pink of condi.
ton, and it bids fair to stand, much to
his dissatisfaction.

IHE following from the Ournal Is
the proper republican sentiment for 1892:
''This is the year3of all the years that
republicans should stand by their

sert the republican ticket this year de-
serves the everlasting condemnation of
his party. This year there is more than
personalities involved. The national
ticket should be supported from princi-
pie, is what every republican admits.
Then this being the case our legislative
ticket comes under the same category.
