Platform Adopted BY Demo.
cratic State Convention.

l.. The representatives of the demo-
cratic party of North Dakota in con-
Ventlon assembled heartily endorse the
platform adopted by the democratic
national convention at Chicago.
z. by common consent the tariff is
the supreme issue of the impending
campaign. The question to be settled
by the American people is whether a
revenue tariff which was adopted as an
extreme war measure and with the
solemn pledge of it's authors that it
should be repealed as soon as that war
was over, and which has been increased
nearly One-fourth by the Mckinley
bill, shall be made perpetual for the
benefit Of favored class: whether that
system shall continue which after
thirty years of trial, presents the spec
tacle Of colossal fortunes on one side
and colossal Indebtedness on the
other, trusts and millionaires upon one
side and an aggregate farm mortgage
Indebtedness Of s., 800, ,OOO. 900 upon the
other; a system which has massed in
the hands of 25, 900 persons one-half of
the entire wealth of the nation, in
other words, more than so per cent of
national wealth in the hands of less
than one-half of l per cent Of the en-
tire population. TO the repeal of such
measures we pledge the united support
OF the democratic party of North Da-
kota.
2. Upon this issue Of the tariff the
independent party and the democratic
party are one in interest, one in prin-
ciple and should be one in work.
4. The issue of this campaign comes
home with especial force to the people
OF North Dakota. They bear all the
burdens of the republican tariff and
share in none of it's profits. 1t is pow
erless to enhance the price of wheat
they have to sell and increases the
price Of all they have to buy. 1t sends
them to the free trade markets of the
world with their grain, and at the same
time places in the hands of their COM
| petitors in Asia, Australia and South
America, agricultural implements at
80 per cent less than they are furnished
to them by the American manufactur-
ers, whom it protects.
5. We rejoice that the democratic
party in this great campaign have for
their leader a man who writes it's prin-
ciples in ''the living characters and
ennobles them by heroic action
Grover Cleveland.
6. We believe that resubmission is
,, by far preferable to the present prohib-
itory law, as it is and has been en-
forced by the republican party.

Mr.. Harrison's letter of acceptance
was very decided innovation in
that line. 1t breaks all precedents
and instead of being a letter of ac-
ceptance pure and simple, it is, in
addition, a carefully and skilfully
prepared lawyers plea for the repub-
lican party in general and the H T.
rison administration in particular,
and like other able lawyers pleas it
is liable to impose on those who are
not familiar, and who will not take
the trouble to familiarize themselves
with the other side. 1t shows, too,
that the stories which have from
time to time been told of Mr.. Har-
rison's intention to individually boss
the republican side of the campaign
were all founded on the solid truth.
Mr.. Harrison's attempt to dodge
the Force bill issue in such way
as to leave the impression upon those
who favor that outrage upon consti-
tutional liberty that he is still with
them-as he really is, heart and
soul-and at the same time make
those opposed to it believe that he
has abandoned it, is like most efforts
of similar nature-supremely re-
diculous, and meets only with mean
ing smiles from every quarter.
Democrats and republicans alike
know just where Mr.. Harrison stands
upon the question; that, if he be re-
elected and the next house of repre-
sentatives be controlled by the
republicans, be will in his first mes
sage to the Fifty-third Congress ask
that bill similar to the notorious
Lodge bill of the Fifty-frst Congress
be passed. There is only one way
for this country to escape the hor-
,rors of the force bill, which in one
section of the country would be as
bad as visitation of the cholera,
and that is, to defeat Benjamin Har-
rison and the republican party.

Republican County Conven-
ton Proceedings.

!
The republican county convention
met at Milton last Saturday and made
All effort to put up county ticket.
There were some twenty-five dele
gates present, and half of them seemed
to think their presence was of no use
and sorry that they attended. O.C.
Wentworth of this city was made
chairman and Peter Reed secretary.
The usual committees were appointed
by the chair after which the convention
took recess for half an hour. Just
before adjournment Mr.. McHugh an
nounced that the slate of the northern
part of the county was made up, and if
the southern portion wanted a repre-
sentative they had better make use of
the recess for that purpose. The con-
vention reconvened and called to order
by the chair. The temporary organi-
zation was made permanent. The
committee on resolutions presented
the following platform which was
unanimously adopted. For brevity it
has no equal in the annals of political
history, and certainly meant as a mere
form and not intended to enter into
the campaign:
We heartily endorse the principles
as enunciated in the platform adopted
at Minneapolis believing that the best
interests OF the people will be subserved
by the reelection of President Harri-
son.
A motion wasmade that each dele
CATION cast the entire vote of the pre-
cinct whether represented by proxy or
not. Mr.. Thompson, of Montrose, OBJ
jected and moved as an amendment
that only the representatives present
vote. The amendment was lost, con-
sequently delegates who had no interest
whatever in the convention cast their
ballots just the same, and the conven-
ton then proceeded to the nomination
of a county ticket. The nominations
were all made by acclamation except
in the case of auditor, when the con-
vention voted upon the question of
whether to endorse Mr.. ALERT or Mr..
Butterwick. The ballot resulted in
endorsement of Mr.. ALERT by a vote of
36 to IL. The following is the ticket:
For representatives, o. C. Went
worth, N. McIvor by acclamation.
| Auditor, H. d. ALERT; treasurer, Wal
ter Laidlaw; states attorney, w. F..
Kessler; register of deeds, Geo. Bar
cello; clerk of court, W. NJ. Graham;

New YORK, Sept. 9.-Tammany hall
came out boldly tonight for Cleveland
and Stevenson. A meeting of the gen.
eral committee had been called together
to issue a call for primaries of the dis
tricts. Well known politicians filed
the. boxes, and the hall was crowded.
Senator Bourke Cochrane in one of his
characteristic speeches presented reso-
lutions endorsing the declarations of
the principles adopted by the demo-

The railroad commissioners say
that the railway platform bill passed
by the special session of the legisla-
ture cannot be enforced. 1t is not
at all improbable. 1t is not out of
the nature Of things for a railroad
bill, passed by railroad legislature,
backed by railroad governor, and
a railroad attorney general to be de-
clared unconstitutional.

pointing to it as indicating that the
democratic party was going to pieces
III the South. The result was an
overwhelming democratic victory.
In fact, the democrats in this election
won counties they have not carried
since the war. 1t is hardly necessary
to enlarge upon the significance of
the victory.
Vermont has always been immov-
ably republican, the majority four
years rgo being over 5000 for Har-
rison. But even that rock-rlbbed

the republican majority of four years
ago to have been reduced by 5000,
although for the sake of he impress
sion upon the public, the republicans
made a strong fight to keep up it's
majority. When staid old Vermont
keeps moving toward democracy,
what may not be expected elsewhere?
If the republicans lose in the same
ratio in other states they will
scarcely carry a state in the Union

A Young Girls Room,

A young girls room may be- as full of
costly articles as wealth can make it, or it
may be the result of taste and ingenuity
with but trifling expense, but the one who
looks in upon it can, if choosing to take
the pains to do so, tell at once the charac.
ter of the occupant by the mere arrange
ment or disarrangement of the place. There
IS OF course the pretty artistic ensemble
that at first glance seems to be only con
fusion, but which presently resolves itself
into a harmony of form and tint, arr
change in which would be discord, which
tells something interesting concerning the
artist in the arranger.
Then there is the precise and prim man
ner in which everything is at right angles;
every book is exactly in position on every
other book; no folderols are allowed; moth
ing that indicates a waste of time or a love
of pleasure, and everything that indicates
methodical, utilitarian and exacting traits.
with little love of beauty, indicates a char
acter that will by and by possibly make
life a burden to every one in the house.
There is the confusion, again, which is
disorder, where everything has been tossed
at random; there is no place for anything
and nothing is in its place, thus telling IA
lamentable tale of It's first cause. And then
there is the abode of neatness without IA
natical and pragmatical effort for it, of
order without primness, of grace and spot
lessness combined; a room where n little
or the artist IS to be seen, Il little of the
precision and something of the perfect love
of order without its observation-disclosures

Girls, Save Your Nervous Force.

Why do women expend so much force Oh
useless things? You will observe-if you
are observing-that some delicate, nervous
woman will have an umbrella in her hand,
upon which she will expend enough nerv-
GUS force to move a house. She will have
a bag or bundle, to which she clings with
a deadly grip, and perhaps a mantle or a
part of her dress is held tightly in her
cramped hands. She does not know that
she presents the appearance of one who
wrestles with an invisible fate. Thu vigor
and rigor with which Il woman clutches
her pocketbook is so much waste power,
and the lines of her face answer to the
tense cords of her muscular system. She
is like the woman who broke a saucer and
carried the pieces in her face all day.
Girls, don't expend all your strength on
these unequal forces. Adapt your muscles
to the size of the weight you are about to
lift. Life would be a grand thing If orr
faces were properly adjusted and the true
balance of a perfect mental and moral
equipoise reached .-Detroit Free Press

Disease at the Back Door.

Gas for ordinary family sicknesses, l be.
lleve,' says IL physician, that most of them
come from Stops. Yes, it is the nasty habit
Of pitching out the back door a pailful and
a dipperful, now and then, of greasy wa
ter, and a handful of parings and the gen-
eral waste of the kitchen that breeds fe-
vers and bilious diseases. They disappear
for the most part in the soil, but that is
he key to the mischief. The soil gets full
after a time and ferments, and the hot sun
breeds poisonous gases which surround
and enter the house. This is true not only
of the cheaper, poorer houses and careless
families, but well to do, intelligent people
have spots behind their houses saturated
with Stops. Slop holes and filthy drains
are so ommon in cities that the wonder is
there is not a general pestilence.
mo amount of supervision can prevent
a great deal of filthy evil. But in the
country it should never he allowed. All
that is not carried off by the regular drain
should be carried out to trees and poured
in small quantities here and there as a fer
tilizer. Trees will take up Il large amount
of water and be grateful for it. If there is
an ashpit about, which is, of course, to be
frequently emptied and the contents car
ried away to be sowed on the land, the
Stops may be thrown into the ashes. But
there must be simply constant intelligence
In the disposal of waste. Nowhere are
drains more needed about a home thar
about the back door."-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
