for d rascality the populists will come
out on top, so that the mere overthrow of
the republicans is of small moment to the
poor taxpayer.
Commenting on the letter of Judge
Bennett the Pioneer Press in a leading
editorial says:
The letter Of Judge Bennett of North
Dakota, declining to work for the fusion
ticket in that state or to support it at the
polls, is one of the most important docu-
ments of the present campaign. This is
not because Of the individual Importance
of the writer of it, although his high stand
ing in the community and his personal
character give weight to a public utter
announces is one that commends and must
commend itself to all honorable men
everywhere, who believe that elections
should not be decided as q mere matter of
bargain and sale. 1t is because there are
thousands and ten of thousands of demo-
Gratis throughout the northwest who feel
exactly as Judge Bennett feels, and who
will initiate his course when they come to
cast their ballots. 1t is because it adds
only another proof to the accumulated
testimony OF years of experiment that the
fusion scheme will not work. 1t is upon
fusion that the democrats have relied to
make a break in the solid column Of re-
puuliCdu SIdtcS lllS year, auu IL IS CnlS
support which is now breaking under
them.
The voters will not have it. A partisan
democrat is a pretty hard rock to budge;
but when it comes to asking him to vote
for the subtreasury scheme and all the
crack-brained notions which the third
party has Endorsed, wen his loyalty will
not stand the test. He does not become a
republican, or even q mugwump, but he
does assert his manhood as Judge Bennett
does, and decline to be delivered at the
polls as if he were a bale of merchandise.
While there are some politicians who are
always willing to consummate d deal like
this and wink at the moral quality of it,
there are enough voters who decline to
prevent fusion from succeeding. 1t has
been knocked out Of sight in Kansas by
the refusal of decent democrats to walk
into the alliance fold. 1t will be repudi-
ated in North Dakota by men of the Ben
nett StamD.

IT is a genuine pleasure, at times, to
know that there is such a quality as
innocence, pure, verdant, undefiled in
nocence left in this wicked, wicked
world. The editors of the Bathgate
Democrat, another supporter of Cleve,
Steve and Calamity, display an alarming
amount of this desirable quality when
they publish the following:
We also carry the state and county
tickets at the top of this page, but no
special support from this paper will ce
given to any candidate before some ar
engagements are made. We will support
the ticket as a whole but nothing else will
be done to benefit one candidate more than
another, less the candidate who wants the
influence of our paper show up and make
definite arrangements. In our next issue
we will commence work in this county.
The Democrat does not beat around
the bush, when 1t makes this statement.
1t says, fairly and squarely: "Come and
see us-bring along a little collateral
if you have it-and want our help-and
we will help you" And although this
is the policy of many newspapers, the
Democrat is uniquely original in being
the first to announce through it's columns
that such is it's policy.

The following from the Durham IN.
co. Globe is probably a SANDER on some
people in the south, but it is a curious
fact that such outrageous bursts of
humor originate only with the southern
press:
Some of the North Carolina paper are
bowling about the positive fact that Grover
Cleveland hired a cheap man tout of the
Buffalo bridewell) to represent him when
the north pillaged, and %plundered, and
burned, and raviShed the south. There
could not be a better recommendation.
The scamps at the north who went into
the War went IN for $14 a month with the
explicit understanding that they should
and could steal all that was in sight.
Grover Cleveland knew that the country
would need his services in 1884 and again
in 1893, and he did not propose to have his
body filled with lead in order to give a
Yankee a chance to pick his pocket after
he had been killed. he simply did a good
business job, as he did when he slapped
the dirty beggars, called pensioners, in the
face. Why should he-a statesman and a
man OF his intellecr-take the chances of
war when he could hire a cheap fellow to
represent him? There is no reason. The
Globe regards that as one of the best
things Cleveland ever did. If Cleveland
had fought he would have been lowered in
the estimation of the south. He did not
propose to use his skill in killing the boys
of the southland. The solid south owes a
debt of gratitude to Grover Cleveland.

A GRATIFYING interest is being taken
by farmers and out-of-town republicans
in the rallies which have occurred under
the auspices of the republican commit
tee. From the two rallies already held
is evinced the fact that an extraordinary
amount of enthusiasm exists among re-
publicans everywhere. They are eager
in the advancement of everything where
the party is concerned, and have turned
out in numbers to attend the rallies.
The speakers who have gone out from
the city have excelled themselves in
ar gument, aid all prospects for republi-
can success are particularly bright.
Dissension exists everywhere among the
democrats and populists, while republi-
cans are firmly united against the
enemy.

SEVERAL of OUR legislative candidates
throughout the state who think they are
running on two tickets-democratic and
independent-fnd that such is not the
case. In some districts the democrats
and Independents nominated only a part
of a ticket and left it for the respective
committees to make up the balance Of
the ticket. They are now confronted
with section - Of the Australian ballot
law, which provides that a party COM
mittee can only fill vacancies, and in
case no original nomination was made,
Of course there could be no vacancy.
Party committees are usually expressly
authorized by resolution to fill all
vacancies. Thus they can make no
original nominations unless expressly

In closing a leading editorial in favor of
Governor Burke, the jamestown Capital
says: "The Capital has supported
Governor Burke's administration be-
cause we believed it a good and honest
administration of our state affairs; we
favored his denomination and now favor
his reelection because it will continue
the same good and honest administra-
ton of our state affairs. Governor
Burke has spent the years until past
the meridian of life building up and
maintaining a character for integrity in
all the relations of life. He would not
sacrifice this for any political or other
position. A mai who Is true to himself
and his convictions cannot be false to
the people and the state"

For the benefit of Griffin & Co.,
jamestown, who have published an open
letter to the secretary of state in rela-
ton to the certificate of nomination of
independent-prohibition electors, the
TRIBUNE desires to say that the secre-
tary Of state has had nothing to do with
printing supplements to newspapers,
aud that the sample of "~oticial bal
lott was a sample of "form" only, and
not of names. The certificate of NOM
nations is quite another thing. Griffin
& Co. seem to be quite nervous about
this matter-so much so that in one
communication to the jamestown Alert
they say that the name of one of the
prohibition electors is "Nomland," while
in the Fargo Forum-after someone had
called their attention to the matter
they say it is "Omland." Griffin & Co.
need not worry. There is nothing
rotten in Denmark" and a letter ad-
dressed toPthe secretary of state and
inclosed in an envelope, properly ad-
d~ressed-not through the newspapers
would have brought a reply entirely
satisfactory to Griffin & Co. The official
ballots will be printed all right. In
another column appears the list of can
didates as they will be printed in each
county in the state.

THERE will appear on the official bal
lot in Burleigh county three names,
authorized thereon by petitions-those
Of Michael T. O'Connor for states at
to1ney, Peter Olson for sheriff, and Fred
Hollembaek for auditor. It is hardly
likely that anyone of these will be
elected, but their candidates. will doubt
less have an influence on the number of
votes received by their respective op.
ponents. And to those who understand
the circumstances under which these
petitions we're filed, the situation grows
still brighter for republicans.

MANY leading German merchants OF
New York City and Brooklyn have joined
as a committee in a forclble and con-
vincing letter to all voters of the German
race, setting forth to them the reasons
why they should vote the national re-
publican ticket not only in justice to
their own interests but as affecting the
interests of the fatherland. These sixty
six German citizens who have constituted
themselves a committee to work for the
election of Harrison and Reid are not
politicians. They are business men
"who realize that the prosperity of this
country is due to the wise commercial
policy of the republican party" As such
their appeal should come with all the
more force to all thinking and patriotic
Germans.

The Fargo Sun weeps"bitter, scalding
tears over the disruption and dismem-
berment of the democratic party. It is
easily seen from the following wall, that
democrats realize their almost total
humiliation. The Sun admits that the
fusion ticket is in no wise democratic
when it says:
Democrats IN their lamentations over
the abandonment Of the party lines, ought
not to forget that the only surviving relic
of the party left is our candidate for men,
Der of congress, James F. O'Brien. Upon
him alone depends the last surviving hope
off future party existence. When the
party once more attempts to gather its
scattered and disheartened adherents to-
gether for the purpose of re%organizing, the
vote for CONGRESSMAN will be the only pos
sible basis for representation upon which
a call for delegate conventions can be
made.

The recent republican legislative con-
vention for the T~wenty-sixth district,
comprising the counties of Kidde1
Logan, Mcintosh and Emmons, passed
a resolution fixing the apportlonment for
1894 on the basis of the average vote
cast for Messrs. Cochrane and Wishek,
candidates this year for the legislature.
The basis of. representation throughout
the state ought to be based in each
county on the lowest vote cast for any
republican nominee. This would tend
to encourage straight party politics.

The Australian ballot in South Dakota
is about the size of the North Dakota
ballot, and it is estimated that the aver
age time required to mark a ballot,
except when a straight ticket is voted, is
one minute and forty-fve seconds. This
is time wasted. The simple way is the
best-an x in front Of the words
"Republicen Ticket" at the head of the
ballot and NOWHERE ELSE. That votes
