Democratic Rally.

Tuesday evening the citizens of
Langdon and vicinity assembled at the
school house to listen and profit by the
speeches of the democratic orators.
Hon. w. N. Roach, of Larimore, and
Mr.. Leslie, of Hillsboro. Mr.. Roach
Is not an orator in the accepted sense
OF the word, but for good, sound, sensi-
Die argument he has not 4 peer in the
state and one and all were we'll pleased
with the speech. He fully explained
the position of the democratic party in
this state, and showed it to be their
duty to follow the course hey did at
the Fargo convention in endorsing the
Peoples party nominees. Democrats
could do nothing else If they were to
remain true to their declarations of
being in touch with the people and
working for the peoples best interests.
Mr.. Roach also gave general review
of the tariff question and showed
plainly that the best interests of the
farmers and business men of North
Dakota would be subserved by the re-
peal Of the obnoxious Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Roach was followed by Mr.. Les
lie who confined his remarks principally
to the tariff and went into the details
of that measure, defining clearly his
point that the tariff is tax and paid
by the consumer He also showed
that the protection Of our Infant" i'll
dustres was a direct robbery of the
people, lnaSmuch us those industries
protected the most paid the least wages
to workiugmen, and had more strikes
and lockouts than any others; and be-
sides sold their products cheaper to
foreign nations than they did to home
consumers. MI. Leslie also compared
the wages of English workingmen today
with the wages they received during
the time England was under the pro-
tective system, and proved that their
wages had increased l40 per cent. Mr..
Leslie closed his speech with an elo-
quent eXhortation to the North Dakota
farmers to cast their ballot for the In
dependent electors and thus aid indi-
rectly in the election Of that typical
American statesman and firm friend
of the people, Grover Cleveland.
There was quite sprinkling Of
farmers in the audience and from the
frequent outbursts Of applause that
greeted the speakers whenever a point
was made against republicanism, we
would judge that they were in full
sympathy with the sentiments of the
speakers and on November Sth will aid
materially by their ballots, in the over
throw of the corrupt system under
which we are now governed.

Burglars Visit Bathgate.

On Sunday night BURGERS entered I.
J. Chevalier's Hotel at this place. fore
ed opened the safe and made good their
escape with about 100000 in notes
and cash, besides other valuable pap
ers-among them his insurance policy.
A small hole was drilled through the
outer portion Of the door about two
inches to the left of the handle and a
punch used to force back the lock.
The drawers containing the money
and papers were taken out and carried
away, Entrance was, gained by the
front door which was easily opened
the key being left in the lock on the
inside. Mr.. Blais' blacksmith shop
was broken into and tools taken to do
the work. The tools, consisting of a
brace and drill, punch and hammer,
were LETT under the safe and the hole
in the safe door neatly plugged with All
old chew Of tobacco. So neatly was it
done that Mr.. Chevalier had worked
trying to open the safe fully ten
minutes before he discovered it.
During the night Mr.. Chevalier was
awakened by q noise which he thought
was in the house and got up and went
TO the head Of the stairs and listened,
but hearing no noise concluded That it
was the wind and returned to bed to
rise in the morning and find his safe
robbed.
They also tried to get into the post
office which is in the north side of II
j. Watts store, but the door being
both locked with key and bolted they
failed to gain entrance although they
had broken the bolt.

that burglarized Waldo & Halliday's
store at Crystal about two weeks
ago.-Pembina Co. Democrat.
