Now THAT the election is over it seems
somewhat out of place-certainly not in
good grace-for some papers, who
seemed to support Governor Burke dur
ing the campaign, to glory so much over
the defeat. It does seem as if federal
appointments ruin some well-meaning
newspaper fellows. And what is the
use of all this political post-mortem in
the Fargo Argus and other papers
Gliding Jud LaMoure, a republican who
managed a democratic district 80 as to
get there himself-instead of a populist.
Whatever Jud traded seemed in Burke's
interest-in Pembina-and anyhow a
grievance against Jud ought not to go
against a square, clean cut man and
competent official like Treasurer Booker.
One would naturally think-from read
ing the A~rgus-that Major Shaw had a
grievance.

1t is very natural for a defeated politi-
cal party to attribute defeat to bad
management on the part of it's executive
committee, but in the case of North
Dakota. Chairman Spalding has been SO
jealous, and active that no good repub-
lican-who knows what the party had to
contend with-and do with-will find
any fault. He has just issued the fol-
lowing letter as salve for wounded re-
publican hearts:
FARGO, Nov. 12.-The campaign of 1892
Is over-the combination of democrats and
popullsts has won. While we regret the
result, as we believe it a triumph of dema-
gogy and Office seeking which means moth
ing OF gOod to any but themselves, and
much injury to the credit of the state and
her people, we have the satisfaction of
feeling that on our part it has been a clean
honorable campaign throughout, and
that we have suffered defeat in a contest
Tor principl III We have the further salts
factlon OF knowing, that while the enemy
mas been supplied with funds in excess Of
legitimate needs, we have not expended a
dollar for any but the legitimate and hon
orable purpose of education on the issues
OF the day, and such education only as is
derived from the distribution Of sound lit
erature q Intelligent public discussion.

The Grand Forks Herald says: It is
said that Judson LaMoure, a day or two
previous to election, swore out warrants
for the arrest of H. @. Hansbrough,
Thos. McHugh and Frank Wilson, charg.
ing them with attempt bribery, to pro-
cure his LaMoure's) defeat for the
state senate, and it is further said that
H%ansbrough placed several thousand
dollars in his district to be used against
him, and that this story of alleged bri-
berry and the warrant for arrest was cir
culated throughout tho district by
LsMoure as campaign thunder against
his opponent, R. B. Richardson, of Dray-
ton, greatly to LaMoure's advantage, as
indicated by the returns.

Hon. JOHN D. BENTON seems to take a
different view of the effect of the candi-
dacy of Floss than do many other demo.
Gratis. He says: "There is no doubt of
Johnson's election, in my mind. Had it
not been for Foss on the independent
ticket, Johnson's majority would have
reached 1000. Foss was put on the
ticket to keep the Norwegian vote, and
he succeeded in doing it to quite a large
extent. That was the only hope for
O'Brien's election. O'Brien could not
draw the Scandinavian vote"

From the latest returns and from
kilograms from the best available sources
it seems now beyond a doubt that G. M.
Dahl is elected as secretary of state.
His majority it is difficult to approx
mate, because of the trouble which
arises in procuring accurate statements
of the vote in several of the counties.
From the returns received in the larger
counties and from estimates of the votes
in those yet uuheard from, his majority
will be in the vicinity of 500.

AT the regular meeting of the Worlds
Fair directors in Chicago, Friday, a
resolution was passed favoring the OPEN
ing of the Worlds Fair gates on Sunday,
provided the machinery be not run, says
the Alert. The directors declare that as
all the nations of the earth have been
invited to attend the fair, it would be
highly discourteous and inhospitable to
inform them that they cannot do on
Sunday what they would do we're they
at home. 1.-THE closing of the gates on
Sunday" says the resolution, "means
that thousands Of artisans and me-
chanics, to whom the exhibition will be
of inestimable advantage, will not be
able to attend it." The directors say
they are in favor of allowing every
nation to hold within the grounds, such
religious services as they may desire OIL
Sunday. They also think it desirable
that the gates should be open to allow
visitors from different portions Of the
union. to meet socially at their state
buildings.

Now THAT the republicans all over the

Now THAT the republicans all over the
country are licked out Of their boots and
the democrats have the earth and agreat
majority of the planets, it is fashionable
to blame those who led the fight this
year. Even President Harrison is quot
ed as saying that as a chairman, MI.
Carter was decidedly thin. Locally, this
and that fellow gets it in the neck-Tom
McHugh Is Iblamed; Jud 10 said to have
slain the ticket; etc., etc. Why not let
up on this now? The TRIBUNE fails to
see any good to result from rubbing salt
on wounds that are yet bleeding fresh.
In the next fight each and all Of these
leaders will be required. Let them
alone now. They may have made mis-
takes; they were straight, as they saw
the light.

IT is pretty certain that some of the
mysteries of the new ballot will be un-
earthed in the courts. Down in Ransom
county there will be two contests over
county ofices-clerk of the court and
states attorney. Up in Benson county
it is whispered that a few of Uncle Sans
,ex. wards voted the republican ticket and
for this sin the fellow that did not get
their votes will contest. Down in Cass,
in the 18th district, a house contest will
be in order, it is stated, aud all in all
there is liable to be a heap of trouble
around yet.

The United States circuit court of
appeals has reversed the decision of
Judge Thomas in the case of Walter
Thompson vs.. the Citizens National
bank of Fargo. This action was insti-
tuted to collect q royalty for the infring-
ment Of a depositor's book used in the
bank contrary to a patent issued to
Thompson. Judge Thomas decided the
bank justified in using the book, but
this ls reversed and perpetual ~injnnc.
ton granted against the defendant. The
book in use, or adaptions Of it, is said#to
be used by most all the banks OF the
west, and Mr.. Thompson will have quite
a little revenue coming in when he gets
around to suing all of them.

IT is generally conceded that
the candidacy of Foss for congress
helped Johnson and had he not been in
the field possibly even johnson would
not have been saved from the wreck. 1t
is said that the Independents offered to
pull Foss off but O'Brien himself insist
ed on Foss running IN the field on the
theory that he would divide the Scandi-
navian vote. Foss got some Scandinavian
votes but they were independents who
would have voted against johnson any,
how.

We further feel that no candidate on our
ticket has u to complain of any other
candidate working or trading for himself
to the detriment of the balance of the
ticket, or of this committee for favOring
any candidate at the expense of any
other.
Our work has been for the whole ticket
and every part of it. 1t has been a cam
palgn filled with dificultles-the general
discomfort of the people, so prevalent
throughout the country, has been felt here
this always works against the party in
power-the idea that the Mckinley bill is
for the benefit of the rich and operates
no amount of elOquence from the rostrum
or work by committees could overcome 1t
within the limits of one campaign. Not
alone the people of North Dakota. but the
people of the whole country have decided
that they desire to experiment with u re.
duction of the tariff and the free coinage
of silver. But. while republicans believe
their theories on these Subjects are Chi
merical, the ballot, that supreme ruler of
the nation, that voice Of the poor and the
ricn alike, has spoken, and all good citi-
Gems and especially all republicans, can
afford to patiently await the result of the
experiment. If it succeeds, we shall all be
willing and ready to commend the sagacity
and foresight of its promoters, while, il it
proves, as we believe it will, visionary and
impracticable. the grand old republican
party will be ready to take up the work
where 3 it lays it down on the 4th of March
next, and resume its leadership in the
cause of progress and civilization. 1t will
then be recognized that. you. who have now
fallen, are worthy of confidence and lead
ership.
Allow me. on behalf of the officers of
this committee, to congratulate you on the
gallant and manly fight YOU have made,
and to sympathize with you in the defeat
which has befallen u cause in the nation
as we'll as in the state.
Very truly yours.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer says
that prohibition does not prohibit, and
that it must go. The Plaindealer will
kindly remember that it has aided in the
election of an attorney-general who says
that he will make prohibition prohibit

ticket is of a prohibition hue. It begins

The following excellent advice is from
~. To.-a E.,,-

The following excellent advice is from
the Fargo Forum:
Now is the time to turn immigration to
North Dakota. Many farmers have a
wrong view of immigration. 1t is not
bringing in more competition in reality.
The families will leave the eastern and
middle states and come west, and the ques-
ton is whether North Dakota will have
them or Kansas, Nebraska or Washington.
They will be producers wherever they 90.
Is it not better to have them come here,
take up OF buy land, and increase the value
of your holdings, than to 70 elsewhere and
become just as great competitors, but not
benefit you at all? Think of this, and then
turn in and help the good work on. Now
is the most effective season of the year to
do this work. Write your friends, send
them good papers, do your best to double
the value OF every section of land in North
Dakota. This is true philanthropy, as you
not onlyhelp yourself but all your neigh

QUEER ELECTION FREAKS.

mo-
IT'S passing strange how dearly some
anti-election enthusiasts have to pay for
their enthusiasm. Two weeks age two
gentlemen of Dobbin Valley made an
agreement that should Harrison be
elected the democrat should eat a live
rat in the town hall, and should Cleve-
land be elected vice versa. The parties
to this contract we're Capt. W. P. Mooney
and James G. McCabe. With amicable
consent it was agreed that the rat should
be cooked. The rat has been eaten &C.
cording to agreement, and whether or
not 1t is preferable to crow has not yet
been determined.

that of John Leith, jr, a foreman of En-.
