NIcHugh for Governor.

The following telegraphic dispatch
contained in the Minneapolis Journal
of last Saturday shows the popularity
in which the gentleman is held by the
citizens of Iowa.
WEST UNION, Iowa, March 15.-In
the northeastern part of the state the
name of Hon. John McHugh, OF Cres-
co. at present national bank examiner,
is often mentioned in connection with
the governorship of Iowa. Mr.. Nc
Hugh is an Irishman, very popular
with the voters of his nationality, and
is a republican of the staunchest sort.
Six years ago he was a candidate be-
fore the congressional convention at
Charles City, at which time the ballot
ing continued for two days and Sven
ey received the nomination by one-six-
teenth of one vote. MIR. McIIugh is a
brilliant orator and stump speaker
and would lead the Republicans
through rattling campaign.
Mr.. McMugh is a brother of Hon.
Pat McHugh of this city and the
course of his campaign will be watched
with interest by his friends in North
Dakota.

ROACH A MARTYR.
A Friend Says He Is Bearing the Bur-
den of Another's Crime.

The Pioneer Press has the following
from Fargo: Some time ago it was
limited in dispatch from Washington
that Senator Roach, who has recently
been written up'' by Dalzell's news
bureau in Washington, had for the
past fourteen years been standing as a
mark for some one else, and heroically
bearing the brunt of the terrible news
paper arraignments to shield the really
guilty party when he himself was en-
tirely innocent. This story is confirm
ed by Senator Frank Palmer, who
stated that Lieut.. Mozier, an officer
formerly in the regular army at Fort
Totten, had related to him the story of
Roach's early life. Mosier and Roach
we're schoolmates and the former lived
in Washington at the time the alleged
embezzlement took place and knew all
the circumstances of the case. He
stated that Mr.. Roach deliberately
sacrificed himself and his fortune to
shield relative, and that this fact
was well known by Mr.. Roach's inti-
mate friends. Mr.. Mozier says this is

With this issue the undersigned
retires from the editorial manage
ment OF this paper, in which capa-
city we have served the past four
years. tits not without regret we
sever our connection, as our rela-
tions with the patrons of the
COURIER : DEMOCRAT have ever
been of a pleasant character, and
it is source of comfort to us to
know that we retire with their en-
tire confidence.
During the four years that this
paper has been under our control
we have endeavored to perform
our duty honestly and faithfully,
and we believe we leave more
friends to bid us Cod-speed, than
enemies who wish US i'll. It is
true we have been harsh in our
criticism of acts of individuals
whose interests conficted with the
interests of the people, but what
ever mistakes we may have made,
have been made through our zeal
to promote the public welfare.
It has been our aim to give the
people newsy paper-how we'll
we have succeeded we leave them
to judge.
The upbuilding Of Langdon and
Cavalier county has been a sub
ject Of much interest to us and if
we haye not succeeded as well as
we had hoped it is not because we
were derelict in duty, nor did we
permit our zeal in the good work
to flag.
We have not yet decided what
new vocation will occupy our atten-
ton, but it is safe to say that
Langdon and Cavalier county will
remain our home.
In conclusion we would ask from
the patrons the same kindly con-
sideration fol- the new manage
ment that has ever been shown us
and that it may continue as long
as one is of benefit to the other,
and praying that the harvest Of '93
will prove bounteous one to all
we make our bow and retire.
Very Respectfully,
f. w. MCLEAN.

the reason there was no prosecution by
the bank. Mr.. Roach has steadily
kept secret the connection Of this re-
lative with the affair. preferring to let
the arrows of public opinion bury
themselves in him instead, and upon
his solicitation the friends who knew
the actual state of affairs We're asked
to keep their lips sealed. Lieut.. Mos
ier said he regarded Mr.. Roach as one
of the most honorable and conscien-
tious men he had ever known.

Grand Forks is now interesting
itself in securing a starch factory.
Such an industry as that would
provide local market for one of
the most staple products of the
state. The citizens of Grand
Forks are showing by their effort
to make the city centre for mills
factories and other industries a
determination to figure in the
near future as the manufacturing
centre of the Northwest.

BELLE SNIsRT,S LETTER.
LANGDON, March 9th, .;

DEAR MIR. EDITOR:-Goodness but
what comm otion it made when l
expressed my feelings in print last
week and [ reckon a few of them are
guessing vet. Had l thought for I,
moment that my innocent little letter
would have brought me o prominent
ly before the admiring gaze of the pub
lie I would not have delayed so long in
writing. After mature consideration
before the mirror l have decided to try
and stand the gaze awhile, that is l
have been strengthened in my resolve
since Nick McGruer brought around
that big box of rouge the other even
ing when he called to tell me about
his Manitoba trip. He had rather a
careworn look on his brow and the
sighs that would vibrate at irregular
intervals beneath his manly shirt bo-
som, told me that all had not gone
well with him while he was sojourning
in the back yards of Canada Still my
medatative mood and confding air
must have shown him the eagerness
with which would share his joys and
sorrows.
Lately I have been learning to skate,
and but for the dismal performance
the other evening, in which 1 was
the principle actor, would have ap-
peared masked at the carnival this
week. Not wanting to ''break in a
new pair of skates I borrowed a pair
at the hardware store and met Billy
Sheppard, by appointment. He finally
succeeded in getting the skates firmly
fastened on the soles of my faultlessly
shaped No. shoes. We skinned
like swallows down the side of the
rink, all seemed easy, but an attempt
to gracefully round the corner was
ditferent-somewhat, and the centrifu-
gal force proving stronger than the
centripetal, we we're hurled, as 1
thought into the middle of next week.
Once we sailed gracefully into the
out spread arms of George Barcelo,
who was watching his little boy take
an initiatory lesson in skating. George
promotly apologiZed to the audience
for not letting us break our necks.
This hurt our feelings-as also was
the case when the ice rose up in
mighty cleaning mass and struck us
cruel blow. l over heard Billy Plum
mer say that he would not have missed
the show for a dollar, and he is con-
sidered fair judge of what the coins
worth, so am inclined to think at skat-
ing anyway I am not altogether fail
ure.
Since the appearance of my epistle
in your last weeks paper all the bald
headed old bachelors and brainless
dudes in the neighborhood have been
troubled with insomnia in their vain
endeavor to obtain clue to my identi-
ty. Alas! have put from me all the
frivolities of life and shall devote my
attention to the soul thrilling problem
of woman suffrage. I am going to
pose as captivating little orator, and
when I soar to the clouds in my flights
of eloquence and distribute a few of
those sweet little angel like winks
of mine among the audience you will
be able to hear the hearts of the boys
jump, the same as if they had been
taking Kickapoo Indian Sagwa to
sober up on. am confident that I
can earn an honest living by my chin
music, and it is just as legitimate as
running sewing machine or shooting
biscuits, and I've tried EN- both.
Ever yours without a struggle,
BELLE SMART.

GOT A BETTER PLACE.

In the Democratic senatorial eau
Gus last week Senator Roach, of
North Dakota, was given the chair.
manship of the committee on Indian
depredations instead of that to in.
vestigate the trespasses of Cherokee
lands, much better place. He is
also member of the committee on
agriculture and forestry in addition
to Indian affairs and the five Indian
tribes.

this reason this article appears.
That there were charges of corrup-
ton at Bismarck no one will deny,
but no one will say that William n.
Roach spent dollar corruptly. So
good Republican as Congressman
johnson declared that Senator
Roach's election was death blow
to blow to boodleism in North Da-
kota politics. This publication
was intended to be used as q club to
force Senator Roach to resign,
which explains the numerous in
nuendoes and hints that have been
wired to various papers regarding
the matter, and it was neld back un-
til the conspirators found that he
was not 4 man to be bluffed in this
way. When the matter was first
called to his attention, he consulted
Senator German and other Demo
cratic leaders, and on their advice
paid no attention to the threats of
the opposition. AS cashier of the
Citizens National bank Senator
Roach made no bad loans, and the
officials say that few losses were
made in this way. The deficit was
S57, 900, s25, 1000 of which was paid
in cash, and all the senator's pro-
pcrty was handed over for the pal
ancc. With record of fifteen
Years in North Dakota, in all of
which there is not one flaw, Senator
Roach feels abundantly able to cope
with the men who assail him now,
and at the proper time he will be
heard from regarding them.
DEFENDED AT HOME.
The Fargo Argus, which was the
strongest supporter of Senator Casey
III the late senatorial fight, recently
published scathing editorial de-
Tending Senator Roach against his
enemies in Washington, who have
lately dug up charges concerning
the failure in 1879 of the National
bank, of which he was cashier. An
Associated Press dispatch stated
that a Washington paper would
publish a full history of the circum-
stances and urge that action be
brought against Roach. The Ar
gus states there are no grounds for
action of any kind, and that no man
should be condemned in the eyes of
the public for misfortune which he
could not avoid. Persons here who are
familiar with the case state that the
senator could not be held blameable
for his connection with the unfortu-
nate affair Of years ago, and as he
Immediately met the claims against
him. as far as possible, dollar for
dollar, out Of his private fortune, it
exhibits great degree of venom in
his enemies to rehash the old story
for the public. After the bank
episode Roach came to North Da-
kota to begin anew his struggle for
fortune, and it is noteworthy of the
man that with all the charges of
corruption and boodling connected
with the late senatorial fight, not
single accusation was laid at his
door, even by his opponents. Mr..
Roach, says the Argus must have
some powerful enemies in Washing
ton, who are egging this newspaper
on, but the people of this state will
not sanction any injustice to Sena-
tor Roach.
