The Grand Forks Herald reprints the
following from the Mayville Tribune:
If George B. Winship had been presented
by Grand Forks as its candidate for COVER
nor, there is well-defined probability that
the republican nominee would now hail from
Grand Forks county, instead Of Morton.
That is the milk in the cocoanut. and
accounts for Winshlp's jealousy of and
opposition to Bulge.

Results of IA House to House Canvass by a
sound Money Citizens Committees.


The New York World Of yesterday has
The following from Chicago:
TWO events OF great Importance hap
poned to-day.
The Sound Money Citizens Committee
completed It's house % house canvass
Ot the city Of Chicago. The poll shows
d plurality OF $3.50 IN the city Tor Nc
Ainley. Ii indicates that more than
forty thousand Democrats in Chicago
alone Will vote against Byran on the
souud-mOncy issue. The Republican
state Committee canvass OF the State
b. school districts indicates 4 plurality
for Mckinley OF 5000 outside Of Chicago.
III the Citizens Committee canvass ana
the school district canvass are correct.
.he State Will so Republican By 1900
plurality.
The second event, Of equal significance
and Importance, was direct result OF
the arst. The Republican National Com
mittee is now so sure of Illinois that
10 decided 10 divert some OF its most
important speakers from Illinois to States
west of the Mississippi. which are not
necessary 10 the election OF Mckinley.
strenuous efforts are now to be made
in Nebraska. Kansas. North and South
Dakota, Wyoming. and California for ef-
feet upon congressman and State legis-
latOrs, which will choose United States
senator's. Speaker Reed. Representatives
Boutelle, Dolllver. and. possibly Nelson
Dingley. Will carry the war over the
Rocky Mountains.
This means the Republican National
Committee considers Illinois absolutely
sure Two months ago the first school
district cany ass OF the State was made
Normally about hfty-three voters In
every hundred in Illinois. outside Chica-
go. are Republicans. and forty-seven in
every hundred are Democrats. The first
canvass showed that only about forty
Republican voters in every fifty-three
could be counted for the Republican
ticket. while about forty-two in every
fortv-seven OF the rural Democrats were
solid for free silver. This indicated that
about IS per cent. of the voters were
actually in doubt. with the odds In favor
OF free silver.
The Republican National Committee
created and had in full operation within
two weeks of this discovery a wonderful
literary bureau. Leaflets, speeches, ar
guments. and figures were mailed per-
