ballot on the 9th day Of November he
will see Walter Muir offered to him as a
democrat. By the side Of this he will
find written, lit is false; he is not a dem
ocrat." There Walter Muir is written
down independent, and an independent
is no more like a democrat than q por.
cupine is like q jack rabbit. Walter
Muir is tramping over the state, abusing
President Cleveland and every decent
democrat, and, at the same time, he has
been forced onto the ticket as a demo.
cratic standard bearer. He cries over
the treatment of Coxey and curses Presi
dent Cleveland for all the hard times,
putting down the Chicago riots. He was
nominated on the independent ticket
long before he was hauled onto the dem
ocratic. He pledged himself to support
no other platform than the independent,
and has not agreed to recognize one line
in the democratic. Still, democrats are
asked to swallow him. Why? That
three or four bankers and corruptlonists
may get the state deposits and q few
newspapers may get a little printing
from a populistlc outfit for prostituting
themselves to help carry an election.
This is the whole thing in a nutshell
the democratic party is side-tracked to
carry out a trade. How does this look,
brother democrats?
Mud J. Nomland, prohibitlonist?
Knud j. Nomland, independent?
Knud j. Nomland, democrat?
One Knud, Norwegian, on the same
ticket three times with nominations from
three different parties in three different
conventions.
Now, what is Knud J. Nomland? Is
he a prohibitionist, an independent or a
democrat? If a true blue democrat
should be called for against everything
else, would this Knud referred to, re-
spond to the call and forsake all other
political loves, or would be sneak into
his independent or prohibition hole like
a fox OF woodchuck and escape every
body? He is a representative of three
different parties, all fighting each other
at the same time. Wonderful Knud!
Look at the dishonesty of the popu-
lists. They have a picture going around
representing the country as being cruel
fed between two thieves. The two
thieves are the democratic and repub-
lican parties. After getting out this
blasphemous picture. what have they
done? They have agreed to slaughter
two of their own candidates--Wallace
and Newton, if the democrats, whom
they represent al thieves crucifying the
country, will support Muir. They will
do anything-slaughter their own can
didates-associate with thieves, or take
one or a dozen nominations on as many
different platforms to get Office. And
yet this party claims to be purer and
better than all other parties. God pity
the balance.
When we see the country full of
money, labor, health, good crops, great
cities, rich fields, herds and factories all
mixed up and practically still, We are re-
minded of the poet, when he said:
With hopes, that but allure to fly,
With Joys that vanish while he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits, that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips"
If eve a victory turned to Dead Sea
fruit, it is this vile desertion of democ-
racy and true principles for the benefit
of the spoil hunter and oficeseeker.
Why should not the democracy of
North Dakota and every other state be
derided, jeered, hooted, footed and
scorned, when true democrats are aban-
doned for such rank populists and know
nothings as Muir and Nomland? Those
who have brought this state of things
about will find themselves further de-
scribed by the poet in these words:
His country's curse, his children's shame,
Outcast of virtue, peace and fame,
May he at last, with lips of flame
On the parched desert, thirsting die. 81
While lakes that shone in mockery nigh,
Are fading off, untouched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes he blasted, p.
And when from earth his spirit flies,
Just prophet. let the damned one dwell
Just in the sight of paradise,
Eeholding heaven and feeling hell"
BUDD REEVE.
Money Maker.
The results of the 6O0-acre fax crop on
the Casrington & Casey farm this year
were very satisfactory. Flax this season
was about the only money making crop,
and it is unfortunate that more North
Dakota farmers did not or could not
raise it. The Darlington & Casey crop
netted $40 an acre, costing $500 to raise.
The average price received for the crop
Yves S1.35. The yield was nine bushels,
a fair average for this year.
Electric BitJers.
This remedy is becoming SO we'll
known and SO popular as to need no
special mention. All who have used
Electric Bitters sing the same song of
praise. A purer remedy does not exist,
and it is guaranteed to do all that is
