killed ourselves. Let us see what we
have gained. We got what was sup
posed TO be a United States senator
from North Dakota. he was elected by
| twenty-three Democrats. seventeen
Populists and seven Republicans. He
was not only compound, but
He was 2S-47 Democrat, II AZ
Populist and TAI Republican. AS the
principal ingredient was Democratic,
and as his election would make
majority in the senate, independent OF
Populists and Republicans, his political
birth was hailed with enthusiasm and
delight from one end of the Union to
the other. He was presented at the
national capitol as granite keystone
from North Dakota to finish the tri-
umphal arch of Democracy. But if
ever fame was mockery and success

ator on mongrel combination shows it.

Democracy of North Dakota over the

If this is sample of Democratic
brains and reform, l am only surprised
that Ohio, the home of such Democrats
as Thurman and Harter, had not given
Mckinley 900 majority instead of
the small one he got. 1t is enough to
make Samuel j. Tilden turn over in his

his case. If he never does another act,
his name will stand in history with
Washingt tons, Julius Caesars and NapO-

outshine and stand longer than any of
them. Washington at Valley Forge
never showed more fortitude than Pres
ident Cleveland before the last senate.
He possesses the true foundation OF
of Democracy. He is honest and has the
