Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-10-14

one day, while a crowd of them were
sitting around the stove in a bar.room
bemoaning the fate of the country, a
stranger came in and endeavored to get
up to the stove to warm himself, but
failed. He was asked if he vas not a
stranger in those parts, and he answered
he was. He had walked all the way
from Wisconsin. "How are things out
there?" lie was asked, to which he re-.
piled: "Oh, bout the same as here
all the disappointed politicians and
.ofice-seekers sitting close to the fire,
running dowr the country and cussing
the ingratitude of mankind"
The speaker closed with the prophecy
that IN the record Of the past and of the
present democracy and ca%lamityites
would be showed under by an avalanche
of votes on November 9Th.
GENERAL SPENCER.
Attorney General Spencer was called
upon and responded in a short and en-
pertaining talk. He pointed to the pic
lures of Harrison and Reid in a frame
thatched with the native grain and
grasses of Burleigh county, and said
that Farmer Wallace, by this work, was
doing as much as any of the public
speakers for the republican cause. He
had seen these rustic frames all over the
state, and they had attracted great at
%tention. Mr.. Spencer then gave some
reasons why North Dakota should re-
main loyal to the republican ticket,
mentioning the acknowledgements of the
people of North Dakota, the interest
President Harrison had always taken in
us and the gallant fight he as senator
and the republican party had made for
North Dakota, the land laws of the
country and the liberal land grants for
our public institutions and school fund.
In giving the real and paramount rea-
sons why North Dakotans should not be
ingrates and why they should stand by
the republican party and it's candidates
General Spencer made the best hit of
the evening.
GENERAL BENTLEY.
General Bentley, nominee Of the re.
publicans Of this district for the legisla-
ture, followed with a patriotic speech on
the issues of the day, and referred par
! ticularly to the position of the parties on
the tariff. He said that protection and
reciprocity was so strong with the people
ave the democrats came very neal
indorsing it at their last national con.
vention, and would have done so if it had
not been for the fact they would have
had nothing else to stand upon. He
believed that it was a safe rule, gener.
ally, to look with suspicion upon that
which our enemies or competitors
recommended to us. England was alto.
trade. Referring to the condition OF
things in North Dakota and the fusion
movement, he said he hardly knew what
to think Of the democrats. He said
when he was out in California a man
wanted to sell him a patent on a scheme
of making oil mix with water-he claim
ing to be the only man who had discov'
cred how to do it, and how he had made
and sold hundreds of gallons of castor
oil mixed with an equal quantity Of
water. He thought the democrats must
have purchased this secret.
The speaker then referred to the state
ticket and gave strong reasons why Bis.
marck republicans and Bismarck citizens
generally should stand by the republican
ticket. Of his own candidacy he simply
declared that if elected he should go ir
without any alliances, without any
prejudices-a free man to act upon hit
own best judgment to do that which ii
for the best interests of Burleigh county
and the Missouri slope.
CAPTAIN BRU NDAGE
always makes a good talk, and this oc
casion last evening was not an excep'
ton. A month ago he had thought
some of taking the stump and doing 6
little work for Harrison, but now that
the democratic party in this state hat
surrendered to Weaver, he didn't SCI
any use Of these republican rallies. Just
