we're put out by the inmates, who vacat-
ed the building and did some propping
on the south side. Altogether, it was
one Of the breeziest of breezes, more vio-
lent than has been experienced in some
years.
Interesting Interviews.
Senator j.. H. Worst, republican can
didate for lieutenant governor, and Hon.
j. F. Cowan, candidate for attorney gen.
eral, arrived from the west Sunday and
and were in the city Monday. These
gentlemen have been campaigning in the
western part of the state, and MI. Cowan
spoke at the Monday. night, while
Senator Worst goes on to Dawson and
speaks there. Both are billed to speak
every night from now on until the cam
paign closes, Nov. 3, and are doing som
good work.
II have travelled over a large portion
of this state in the last two weeks" said
Mr.. Cowan to-day, land as natural with
candidates have sought to learn as much
as possible of the opinion of the voters
upon the issues that divide the parties
of the state and nation. I must say
that l have never seen the people more
alive to the effect of government upon
their material, and moral interest. Men
that two years ago we're willing to spec
ulate and gamble with their votes with
the expectation that they might improve
interest by the operation and at worst
could not injure either themselves or
their country, are now outspoken in
their opinion, gained by experience, that
sound business methods apply as we'll in
matters of government as in the ordin-
airy transactions between man and man.
This principle onc finally established in
the minds of the people, intelligence
shall rule, our communities state and ma
ton shall prosper, and the office seeking
d%emagogue shall have lost his occupa-
ton.
"Two years ago, the populist party Of
this state promised the people great and
specific reforms, such as economy and
honesty in the administration of gov
eminent, should their party succeed
through their votes. The votes were
given, but where are the reforms, is
the question asked by the people, and
no man can answer, unless it be to point
to the e%xtravagant appropriations ap-
proved by a populist administration, or
to the distribution of those appropria-
tions to the best advantage of favored
and fortunate individuals and institu-
tons, and to the injury and impair
ment of others.
Democracy promised prosperity for
votes and pledged relief from the 'un-
constitutional robber tariff" The vot-
ers %Rpeculated with their ballots, gave
democracy power, and are now trying to
discover the relief promised, and the
prosperity that was to follow. The idle
men, closed factories, shut mills, un-
lighted FORCES, and reduced wages prove
to a thinking people that their votes
were cast against their interests. The
muttered threat of the North Dakota
wool grower does not sound like the
praise that they would give a good and
faithful servant.
"The people are awakening to the i'm
portance of principle in political parties
and shall refuse to longer follow idealists
and theorists, whose only mission seems
to point out and magnify fancied ills for
which they can offer NJ remedy. The
voters we'll know that they were tricked
two years ago by the promises of those
now in power, and clearly see that the
promises were made with no intention
of execution, but for the purpose Of
capturing the Offices for a set of self-con-
stituted "reformers," who deserted from
other parties within the past three years
because their "itch'' for office had not
been gratified, or their grand and lofty
craftsmanship hadn't been recognized.
eyes, the republican state ticket will
be elected this fall"
MR.. woRsT's PINIoN.
Senator Worst, also, is confident Of
republican success. II feel certain the
state will go republican IN November"
he said this morning. THE country
never had a more unpopular administra-
ton than the present one, and its sever
est condemnation comes from the house
of it's friends, populists and democrats
alike condemning the product of
their union, and the tide Of popular
opinion is setting toward the republican
party for relief. Maine and Vermont
have pointed out the way and every
northern state will follow. The same
wave has struck our state, and the sound
business sense Of the country demands
the application of business methods iE
our public affairs. Personal politics are
becoming unpopular. Fusion Of dis
cordant elements to boost a few aspirants
into office, and to subserve the private
business interests of even fewer schemers,
betrays the utter absence Of principle
