Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-03-10

Is
n0bleman devoted time and money for
party when he and all we're satisfied his
election was an impossibility. 1t is only
fit that he be honored with the highest
| gift of the people of his state.-and those
republicans who voted so that this was
possible, of whom Senator LaMoure was
one. are deserving of thanks and honor for
! their act.
Churchs Ferry Sun: The so-called re-
publicans who voted for Roach declare
they are as good republicans as they ever
were and are firm in their convictions that
they have purified the republican party.
Yes, we agree with them; they are as good
republicans as ever, and If they will here
after and forever affiliate with the dems,
they will have done much toward "purify-
| ing" the republican party.
Lisbon Star: Roach for the democrats;
reproach for the republicans.
Reynolds Enterprise (Grand Forks
county,: Who ever heard of a legislative
assembly with republican majority of six
on joint ballot electing democratic
United States SENATOR? For our part we
have no grievance. Mr.. Roach is farmer,
good honest man, and is we'll qualified
for the position. We wish him godspeed
and sincerely hope he may accomplish
much good for our young state. But the
lican (?) Arne P. Haugen on the ground
that the present legislature would decide
whether republican or democrat should
be United States senator, feel, and have
occasion to feel as if someone had spat in
their faces. Mr.. Roach is from Grand
Forks cOunty-but is chat any excuse? A..
P. Haugen said in a newspaper interview
when on his way to Bismarck: "LOcality
should cut no figure"
Griggs Courier: The citizens of the state
of North Nakota can rest satisfied that they
will be faithfully and capably represented
by Mr.. Roach, and, barring politics, a bet
ter man could not have been chosen. 1t
does look little strange that republican,
elected by a republican constituency,
principles and go over TO the opposition,
but such is the case, and we venture to
predict that those ten men who betrayed
their constituents have killed themselves
politically. Peace to their ashes.
Courier Democrat (Langdon): It is
hardly likely that the man is living to-day
that will see another session of the North
Dakota legislature possessing republican
majority.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: This is the
last week of the session. Then the legisla-
tors will return to their constituents and
explain how it all happened. How will
those few independents explain the little
scene in the basement of the capitol the
day Roach was elected.
Didn't Steal the Pig.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock in Judge Tib-
bills court Tuesday morning, the case
of the state va. Huber was again taken
up. Some new testimony was gone
through with, and after the attorneys
had made their pleas, the case was given
to the jury at about noon. From then
until nearly o'clock did the twelve
men discuss and debate as to the guilt
of Huber, and after several appeals for
dinner, they announced that they had
arrived at verdict, and it that Huber
was not guilty as charged. The defend
ant was at once discharged.
But even now, the ownership of the
pig has not been settled, and it is just
possible civil suit to recover the cause
of go much trouble may be begun.
Thanking the Devil For 1t.
Regarding the defeat of the resubmis-
sionists, Fargo divines in the Fargo Re-
publican say:
Rev. v. N. Yergin-Of course am glad
resubmission failed, though l should not
have been heartbroksn had it passed; there
would be. While we acknowledge Gods
hand in it, and are grateful to Lieutenant
Governor Wallace and others, we have a
good deal for which to thank the devil.
Rev. F. b, NASH am glad the legisla.
ture did just what it did, for the simple
long. tedious, expensive campaign would
have heeh the result, and the ultimate re-
| suit would have been-prOhibitiOn con.
tinued, for honestly believe had the ques-
! tiOn been reSubmitted 1t would have car
ried by mu ch larger majority than it did
before.
Rev. G. r. Pike-On some accounts the
state is to be congratulated that the frantic
attempts at resubmission, though should
not have felt very badly had the bill
passed, since the educational campaign
preceding the ,,9p yote upon 1t would % have IRE re-,

ever the prohibition Of the saloon as the
policy of the people. The worm-eaten
chestnuts that prohibition increases the
sale of liquor and that saloon keepers are
opposed to resubmission, retain, see
their old time flavor of Bacchic mould.
Rev. Eugene May-I am profoundly
thankful that resubmission did not carry.
No matter II the devil brought the loaf
1t was God that sent 1t. This legislature
seemed determined from the first to kill
itself, and If 1t does not die the death it
will not be on record that it was its fault,
If the people do not Dury 1t they deserve
to be inflicted with 1t again. II know
anythingrOf the temper of the state it does
not want esubmissiOn.
