Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-08-10

amount of state funds on deposit
month ago. The democracy as party
appreciates that style of argument, and
that is about all the explanation that is
needed. To retain their interest in the
treasury they would gladly support all
the rest of the populistic ticket
Mandan Pioneer: When the Pioneer
last week made some remarks concern
ing the management Of the Bismarck
postoflce, 1t had no desire to do an ipius-
tlce to the estimable lady who is post
mistress, or her hard working assistant.
Since looking into the matter little
more closely, the Pioneer is satisfied that
in the last few weeks there have been
several much-needed improvements in
troduced in the service, and there is
every reason to believe that in short
time there will be minimum of reason
fer complaint.
st. Paul Dispatch: Col. w. H. Rob-
inson, chairman, and Maj. J. G.. Hamil-
ton, secretary of the republican state
central committee, OF North Dakota, and
r. 81. Hankinson, member of the COM
mittee, arrived IN the city Monday morn
ing, for the purpose of holding con-
ference with Chairman Tams Bixby and
Secretary Richardson, of the Minnesota
republican committee, and endeavor to
arrange for cooperation between the
two committees in the border counties of
the two states during the coming cam.
waign.
Fargo Argus: The prohibitionlsts will
be interested in the movements of their
candidate for attorney general. He
lost interest in his work as attorney gen
eral when the congressional bee began
its buzzing in his bonnet. He has al
ready lost interest in his canvass for re-
election, because bigger bee has begun
its humming. He has been pledged
democratic and populistic strength for
the United States senate in 1896 if he
will withdraw in favor of Burke for at
torney general, and Is inclined to listen
to it's music.
jamestown Alert: Attorney Amidon
was in consultation with Receiver John
son yesterday about Lloyd bank matters.
Nothing new has been determined in
the propositions made to D. Mex.
Lloyd Of Pittsburg, about the settle
ment Of what is held to be his personal
liability in certain paper now among the
assets Of the bank. The trial of the
case will, it is now said, occur in Nov
ember, next, the first date at which
there can be held term of court for
that purpose. Preparations for the case
are being made by the representatives
Of the government.
Fargo Argus: It would be interesting
to know which of the three platforms
Mr.. LELAND, the three-ply candidate for
lieutenant governor, stands on-the pro-
hibition, which protests against resub-
mission; the democratic, which demands
it, or the populist, which pretends to be
for prohibition, but is principally con-
cerned about getting votes. It will not
matter very much how the governor
stands on the prohibition question.
The lieutenant governor and the speaker
Of the house are the persons who can do
most towardlpromoting or preventing re-
submission.
Dawson Times: Joe Bayless, the
English dude, who has sojourned near
Stealtown for a long time, came to the
conclusion one night last week that he
did not like his surroundings, and the
political cutthroats that infest that no
torious town, SO, being an active man,
he acted then and there, leaving before
his neighbors or their son was up, and
in the hurry he forgot to leave his fu-
ture address with any of the people
who are SO largely interested in his vel
fare. He let Raymond, Kepler & Co.
down for about sl25, but they are glad
he has gone, as, had he stayed, he would
probably have let them down harder.

Mayville Tribune: Senator McGilli-
svray tells good story on q democratic
friend Of his out at Dickinson. His
friend was telling how rich he might
have become il he had only Thought Of
capturing and demonstrating some Of
the vast herds Of wild buffalo that for:
merly roamed the surrounding plains.
.'That's nothing" said Senator Met Gilli-
vray, IT Il tell you how to make more
money than that How SO r. queried
his friend, incred ednlously. Why all you
have to do is to capture and domesticate
"a few democrats. In q few years the
