The Emmons county delegates to the
Republican convention at Grand Forks
returned home well satisfied with the re-.
suit In fact, the entire Slope delegation
came back in happy frame of mind, f.:
they succeeded beyond their most san
guinc expectations AS will be seen by
perusal of the ticket, the Slope has four
names thereon. Senator Worst, Erard
Woorster and D. II. Strecter were the
Emmons county delegates who attended
the convention. Emmons entered the
Slope Cass County combine and re-
mained faithful to the end. Tremendous
efforts were made by the Bulge LaMourc
at no time wavered, and the efforts of
Pcnlhina, Grand Forks and Trail were of
no avnil. Failing TO scatter the comb.
nation, the opposition fell into line in
the convention and "l the candidates
were unanimously chosen. The only
demand made by the opponents Of the
| Slope aud its allies was that Judge Bar
tholomew be placed on the ticket instead
of Judge Lauder. On a test vote it was
shown by Il majority of three that Judge
Bartholomew was the choice of the con-
vention. Whercupon JuLge Lauder, in
a graceful speech. withdrew his name
from consideration, and was greeted with
applause that ratified the windows of the
opera house.
The writer has attended the four con-
vcntions held since statehood came, but
never before has he seen so generous an
acceptance of the result by the defeated
faction. On their way home the dele
gates were met with expressions of salts
faction by republicans, and the belief
was general that the tickc! would be tri
umphantly elected.
The choice of Senator Worst for the po-
sition of candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor gives great satisfaction to the peo-
pie Of Emmons county. and of the Mis-
souri, Slope. A splendid parliamentarian
with suavity of manner that will tend
to soften the aspcritics of partisan OF
factional debate, there Is no position on
the ticket where the mau is better fitted
for the particular Office for which he has
been nominated. Below, in full, we give
THE PLATFORM
Mr.. Chairman: Your committee or
resolutions beg leave to submit unan
, imously the following platform Under
the banner of the republican party thu
people of the United States, after devus
tating war, took up the march o
progress and for thirty years enjoyed
peace and unexampled prosperity, nov
interrupted by the late presidential elec
tion. 70 that party we again pledg
, allegiance and reaffirm our faith in tn
beneficence of its principles
We especially assert our belief in thi
cardinal principle of the party: Til
safety of the republic the prosperity o
its people, the happiness of its homes
: depend upon the maintenance of Ameri

+ Therefore, we earnestly, emphaticall
oppose the free trade policy and singl
, gold standard of Great Britain. On tn
q contrary we demand adequate protectio

American standard of wages. To thi
, end we favor tariff On foreign good
competing with domestic goods equal
the difference between foreign an
American wages. With the exception c
!, articles of luxury, goods which by reaso
u of climatic or other conditions cannot L
profitably produced in this country shoul
be admitted free .
By adherence to the republican prir
ciple of reciprocity, new and larger ma
