Grand Forks, N. d., June Is, 1892.
At a meeting of the Democratic state
Central Committee, in executive session
at the city Of Fargo, N. D., it was then
and there duly ordered:
That a Democratic State Convention

Sdnl anu oppressive, 'fIoOi, Vhe ole
ator of capital, ready and willing to
work, yet restricted and discrimina-
ted against The men whose toll
has so aided in the development of
the nation are living IN poverty and
compelled to content themselves by
the bare satisfaction of their animal
needs. Giant monopolistic combi-
nations control in nearly every in
dustry ,and are operated for the ben
eft of the few. In fact, the nation,
after thirty years Of this so-called
protective tariff is on the verge of
plutocratic tyranny. Under this
tariff system there has been built up
a monied aristocracy which now
seeks to control the nation. These
benefciaries of the protective tariff
dominate the policy of the republi-
can party and through it will seek to
maintain their special privilege,
which enables them to tax the Am
erican people for their own aggrand-
izemcnt. The democratic party op-
poses this system of taxation and in
the event of its triumph, stands
pledged to it's abolition. There is
no doubt in our mind but that the
democratic party is right on this
question and the republican party
wrong. 1t becomes our duty then
to array ourselves on the side of the
right. Accordingly the Tribune
hoists the names of Cleveland and
Stevenson at the head of it's editorial
column as it's choice for president
and vice-president of the United
States.
The Tribune does not wish to be
un derstood by this that it believes
the abolition of the protective tariff
and the adoption of free trade pol
icy would bring about millennium
1t is necessary to capture the out
posts before you can storm the breast
works. The triumph of free trade
makes the annihilation of the power
to monopolize a possibility anc
brings us face to face in the settle
ment of other great questions.
| We have been told that our plac,
is with the peoples party, but thi
party utterly ignores the issue in
volved in a settlement of the tarif
question and by so doing show su
perfcial knowledge of the tendeac,
of the present time and the cause
which have lead up to it. The Tri
bune prefers positive, aggressive
honest and courageous position ii
the advocacy of what it believes i
right rather than negative, defen
sive, dishonest and cowardly one
The abolition Of protective tarit
duties is essential to the prosperit
Of every farmer in this country an
we hope they will be able to thro,
aside whatever prejudices that ma
exist and take a fair and impartis
view Of the question at issue an
then vote accordingly. The column
of the Tribune are open to anyon
! to show why the farmers Of thi
country should vote to maintain th
policy Of the ssAmerican doctrine I
!, protection to American labor"

Ernntion of Mount yesurius.

NAPLES, June 13.-The eruption of
Mount Nesuvius continues. At about the
middle of the Atrio del Cavallo, the deep
sickle-shaped valley which separates
Monte Somna from Vesuvius proper, a
small cone has appeared, from which two
streams of lava are flowing. \ shower of
small stones and scoriae is being elected
from this cone, above which dense clouds
are lowering. Stones are also being elected
from the principal crater. These phenom-
ena are accompanied by prolonged and
ominous subterranean rumblings. The
Meteorological observatory thinks that
the eruptions will cease at the next full
noon.

Is Selfishness Thy Name Is Politics
Z @There is nothing so selfish as politics.
The people are not selfish. They contrib
ute their time and money to bring about
that which they sincerely believe to be for
the best interests of the country. But it
s. different with the politicians who
manipulate fer power and place. The op
position to President Harrison was con-
centratet on Blaine. Nobody believes foc
a moment that Blaine desires to re-enter
public life. y few voted for Mckinley
and Mckinley himself was for Harrison.
There is no doubt that Clarkson, Platt and
Quay honestly believed they could nomi-
nate Blaine. But the Minneapolis conven-
tica was run on popular principles.
Lack of Harrison Organization.
"C,arl;son and the other leaders who
stood with him could not feel the power
of the great business interests of the
country Harrison had scarcely any or
ganiZation TO speak of and he had none of
these great political leaders. But tele-
grams favoring him-not manufactured
kilograms, but the honest expression OF
business men-came pouring into Mime
apolis and they were very effective.
Whitelaw Reid's candidacy had nothing
to do with Blaine's defeat. In the first
place he was not a candidate.
Editor Reid, Please Take Notice.
al made up MY mind, however, Some
Sme ago to secure his nomination if it lay
nth my power. Every one knows my
| feelings toward Blaine. Had he not writ
ten that letter to Clarkson he would have
had my support. More than that If h'
| had at an early date announced his candi
dacy Harrison would not have been a can
didate. Take the whole situation now
and with Cleveland as the opposing candi
date Harrison is probably stronger thai
! Blaine would have been"
Harison's Elements of Strength.
Harrison had three elements of grea
strength. He was strong with the busl
ness men. do not mean the railroad mel
in particular. All administrations ar
alike TO the railroads, but to the manufat
{ turer the administration means life o
death. Nine-tenths of the business me
of this country favored the renominatio
of Harrison, and | believe that the labor
ing men who are dependent upon the mar
ufacturers and the business men felt til
same way. Then, too, he was strong /
the solidity of the old soldiers"

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Post pub

election to that position to add anything
to the laurels of James G Blaine"
Had Long Intended to Retire.
During the further course of his talk
Hale said that Blaine's withdrawal from
the cabinet was not the result of hastily
formed determination. To Senator Hale he
had expressed desire of leaving the place
some months prior to the time when he
did. Secretary Blaine had conducted to 6
successful ending matters in which as
secretary of state he was greatly inter
ested and that being accomplished, Hale
said, Blaine found no reason why ht
should not cast aside the burdens of pub

Chauncey VI. Depew is dear to the in

get to talk, but has something to say.
Sometimes this something is witty, some
times wise, sometimes both and always
interesting. Yesterday he came out bold
" against the statement so generally ad-
yanced as to the organization of Harri-
sons friends. 1t has been told over and
over in the dispatches that this organiza-
tion was something unique il its perfec
ton. But the New York orator say.
there wasn't any at all TO speak Of
No Bitterness Expected.
But let the brilliant New Yorker speal
for himself-if he is reported correctly
Just before leaving the hotel yesterda!

that. The Colts, however, gave their

the Brooklyn terrors. The clubs stand
this way:
