Hon. Martin Ryan, one Of the fairest
speakers and most popular democrats in
the state, on going to New Rockford FRI
day night, found that by mistake no an
nouncement OF his speaking bad been
made. The independents we're to hold q
meeting that night and they divided
the time with Mr.. Ryan, the audience
remaining from till -, anxious to hear
the speakers. Messrs. Muir, Wallace
and Newton spoke for the independents.
The meeting was good one. Mr.. Ryan
said that straight democratic state
ticket could not be elected and that an
independent whom the democrats could
vote for two years ago was good enough
to vote for now.

Hunting the Murderers.

There WAS a great deal of gossip Tues
day about the murder Of the unfcrtu-
nate man Monday night Many theories
were advanced as to who did the terrible
deed for such small amount Of money.
The movements Of the man can be
accounted for up t" within a short time
Of his murder and it looks as il a clue to
the murderer or murders ought to be
obtained. His presence can be traced to
several places where be was seen by
numerous persons. The money he had
is pretty we'll known.
Efforts are being made to intercept two
men, SAID to be brothers, who are wanted
on suspicion OF having murdered Sterl-
ing, Monday morning. They are de-
scribed as wearing white hats, and both
medium sized men, one wearing a black
coat, the other duck suit. 1t is sup
posed they went east on a stock train at
two O'Clock. They we're seen with the
murdered man, it is SAID, in saloon
about Il o'clock, and from the conversa-
tion Of one it is now supposed they were
the first who knew Of the pig pen being
burned. He first gave the information
that Sally Campbells house of ,ll-fame
had been burned, but on being ques-
toned about what he knew further, SAID
q railroad man told him of the fire, which
was of course the straw of the pen. Both
OF the men wanted have been here some
six weeks or two months. and without
other occupation than that Of alleged
cowpupchers. They were not known as
articularly tough men. 1t is not known
for certain just what connection they
had with the murder, but enough is
learned to warrant their arrest, If it can
be made. It is not believed by many
that any of the other men held for OK
animation are the guilty parties.

q great change in sentiment in the last
two years. The democrats have taken
the popular stand on the prohibition

lists in Walsh and Grand Forks counties,
and the outlook now is that there will be
a larger vote for the ticket this year than
two years ago. II the democrats vote
their ticket as before, in the western part
of the state, the result, 1t is believed, will
surprise the most sanguine predictions.
People are voting for issues that directly
concern them, this fall, and the demo-
Gratis have presented the local and state
issues in a most satisfactory and straight
forward way Business men iu the Red
river valley are working for the ticket
and men who never did before are taking
the same stand on local and state ques-
tions. Grand Forks, Fargo, Wahpeton,
Grafton, Pembina, Hilsboro, Casse)ton

are concerned are quietly, but none the

Wherever it was necessary to make
point the republicans have had plenty OF
money to fight this campaign. The in
dependents have fought it out on prlnci-
pie, with little or no money for legiti-
mate expenses. One who has observed
tho methods of the campaign refers to
them in Fargo paper as follows:
Col. w. II. Robinson, as chairman Of
the republican state central committee,
with Major Hamilton and later Bob Wal
lace as secretaries, are a power IN them
selves for organization. They have had
money to advertise their meetings, to
pay their speakers and to create the
necessary }urore to gather people
together at places where their speakers
we're to hold forth. II there was any
doubt that the crowd would be small.
large numbers from adjoining towns were
induced to come to the place and help
swell the crowd. A supper after the
speech, with such other refreshments as
are obtainable in this state, were pro-
videi, and if necessary band OF musi-
clans was sent to drum up the enthusiasm
and irrespective Of the size Of the gath
er1ngs, the republican papers herald
forth the statement that the meeting
was large and enthusiastic, although
there might cot have been more than Il
dozen present. II it becomes necessary
to get speaker to some given point an q
no trains were run, q special one was pro-
vided. II Budd Reeve was on band to
speak, ana the local committee had no
money to pay hall rent, he drew on the
republican central committee for the
same.
The independents have had to fight
the corporate influences in the state. the
power Of the subsidized press and the in
tolerance Of those who will not listen to
argument. 1t has been an uphill fight,
and those who have gone out for the
cause OF populism have done so against
prejudice, money and the influence OF
the railroads. Indeed, it has been a
fight of principle against mammon, but
truth is mighty and will prevail.
There is question raised in Walsh
county, where Roger Allin is best known,
as to whether he is legally naturalized
citizen of the state or not. 1t is stated
that the records chow that one Robert
Allan, who came from Canada on o,
about October, 1882, took out his
first papers on the 9th day OF February
1884. That Roger Allin took out his
second papers on the Sth day OF Decem
Der, 1888. That said second papers refer
to his first papers as dated Februsr,
8. 1884; the first papers being to Robert
Allan and not Roger Allin, it would ap
pear that Roger Allin has not yet taker
out his first papers
