such black record for wrecks as these mar

years has averaged more than one day,
the greatest number of wrecks recorded in
one year being 42B and the smallest 15z.
About so per cent Of these vessels became

the four years 1S77-S1 no less than 700

GRAND FORKS, Sept. 2s.-Both
political parties claim that this county
is all right. Hard work is being done
by Republicans and fusion workers, and
the closest kind of a contest is expected
in November The sore Republicans,
made so by the turning down Of Will

Cass county's two candidates, Nichols
for treasurer and Wallin for supreme
judge, will be the heavy sufferers
Judge Templeton, the fusion candidate
for the supreme bench, Is making a
strong campaign and he is one Of the
likely winners. Judge Corliss who lives
here and who will be chief justice
after election, is making an active cam
paign for Wallin. He is able to see
ahead as far as any one and to his
friends he is urging a straight ticket
claiming that if Wallin is cut by the
Grand Forks county Republicans this
year that Cass county will retaliate two
years hence when Mr. Corliss expects
to be candidate for reelection, and
that would make it bad for him. Bray

mons from the state executive.
This is what men mean when they
charge the Chicago convention with
indorsing anarchy. 1t is a potent pos
sibility and present menace. 1t is
thousand times more than enough to
warrant the defeat of Mr.. Bryan, even

WIPED OUT.

The greatest state of the Union in
point of wealth, commerce and politi-
cal interest, is New York. It has been
for many years a pivotal state.
1t has been equally a doubtful
state in national campaigns So pre-
dominant has been its position that it
has claimed and received the right to
name a candidate for the presidency
or the vice presidency in every cleo
ton for the last twelve years. It has
been, on the whole, a reasonably sure
Democratic state. 1t has been carried
by the opposition only when there hap
pened to be some factional differences
in New York, or when Tammany sold
out the party. It's vote in the electoral
college is decisive in any contest that
thirty-four members in the house of
representatives exerts an enormous in
1uence. The intelligence and progress
OF its people give to their voice some
thing more than a numerical inpof-
lance. Yet in this state the Demo-
cratic party is today practically wiped
out Of existence. The proceedings of it's
conventions and it's committee meet
ings are farcical to the point of alb
surdity. 1t has had two conventions
on platforms contradictory Of each
other within a few weeks time. 1t
has put UP a candidate for governor
who declined to accept a position In
volving the Endorsement of the Chi
consent of single citizen of standing
and ability to make the run for gov
ernor, the committee have set in nomi-
nation a practically unknown indi-
vidua1, while the men in charge Of the
nomination consist Of a little knot
of disreputables, few of whose records
Will bear the light.
1t Is not, of course, question as to
how New York will go this year. The
only question at present Is whether
its majority for the Republican party
will be under or above $50, 900; whether
the prophecy that the Democratic par
ty will not carry single county in
the state is to be fulfilled; and whether
out Of the thirty-four members of
congress, single one will bear the
name of Democrat. Leaving matters of.
principle out of the question for the
moment, 1t is worth while to ask the
managers who are running the Demo-
cratic party in this crisis If such a.
performance pays. Is there any pos
sible gain, even if their most sanguine
anticipations Were fulfilled, that could
compensate for the virtual annihila-
ton of the Democratic organization.

New England state, but in New Jer-

IN POPtLIsT NORMAN.
The County Likely to Give bryan u

ADA, Mimi. Sept 29-At present 1t
Is generally admitted that the Popu-
lists will carry Norman county, but
the Republicans will poll strong vote.
IN fact much stronger than that Of
1874. One thing that tends to strengthen
the Populist ticket here is the way in
which the Republican county conyen-
ton was conducted this year. 1t was
plainly evident from the start that the
machine" had determined to run the
convention-and it did, although to
the dissatisfaction of many A num-
Der OF the delegates, especially from
the eastern part of the county, on their
return home, almost decided to leave
the G. 0. p. and go over to the enemy.
However, this did not amount to any
thing more than threats, and the ILL
feeling is gradually dying out, and by
Nov. the wound will be completely
healed and all will be working harmon
1ously together, pilling up a big vote
for Mckinley and sound money! But
this is Populist county, and, no doubt.

quite noteworthy how closely the well

men, Butler was capturing the pri-
maries and county conventions, and
the state committee issued a manifesto

Williams, it will be noted, showed the
better generalship, thanking the enemy

bottled up in the hall as effectively
as Butler was at Dutch Gap thirteen
years before. The state committee ap-

WHY DID SHE CHANGER
Strange Antics of "a sixth street BI-
cycle Girl.


1t may have been all right, but it
looked funny, very funny. Three eye
lists, two of them young men, and the
other a pretty young woman came
UP Sixth street about o'clock last
evening on rather a fast sprint The
young lady was. riding NEXT to the curb
stone, and next to her was very at
tent1ve young fellow. They came UP
the street from Robert street. and when
In the shadow Of the great New York
Life building the young woman sud-
denly wheeled up to the curb rested
dainty foot thereon, and said in a
nervous tone:
Here Is a place. Quick now You
hold the wheel and will change"
She was not referring to the wheel.
Oh no. She jumped into the doorway
and with sudden twist undid the
fasten1ngs of her skirt and that article
or clothing fell to the pavement in a.
little heap around her ankles. She
quickly stepped out of the circle, and
10, she was clad in boomers. Without
a word she ran back to the curb, took
the second young mans wheel, leaving
her own. The wheel she took was a.
diamond frame, but she mounted it
nimbly, and was off like the wind
saying as she went, There, now no one
will know me-
1t evidently had all been arranged
The second young man picked up the
skirt adjusted it to his rather stout
waist with much trouble, and mount
ing the young lady's wheel, rode off in
another direction. 1t made a good dis
guise for him.
Now the question arises, why was
such a rapid and unconventional
change of costume necessary? 1t
might have been an elopement, but the
@ b e yesterday had no wheel and
could not follow to prove it, But, then,
there are other things which might
have happened you know. Bicycles
sometimes furnish convenient scape-
goats for clandestine trysts.

ABOUT A sTAND-oFF.
Swift County Expected to BE About
an Even Thing.

Special to the Globe.
BENSON, Sept. 29-During the past
four years Swift county has not been
counted as absolutely safe for any
party. In 1892 the Harrison electors
received an average vote of 637, the
Cleveland electors 681, and the four
electors on whom a fusion was made
were given an average vote OF 1888.
The county was quite evenly divided
that year, Nelson securing a plural
ity of only % votes over LAWYER, the
vote standing: Nelson 7o8, LaWler 682
and Donnelly 568. Feig ran ahead of
Boen 77votes. In 1894 the Owen senti-
ment was strong and his plurality was
80, the three candidates receiving votes
as follows: Owen LOTT. Nelson 1,022.
Becker 20S. The other nominees on the
Republican state ticket, while failing
behind Nelson a little, all received
pluralities, while the Democratic nom
fnees ran ahead of Becker, which shows
that many Democrats voted for Owen.
Congressman Eddy's plurality was 43.
This year it is generally conceded by
all parties that Lind will carry the
county quite easily, but the Republi-
cans expect to do better with their
presidential nominee. Both sides are
claiming plurality and 1t is safe to
say that Mckinley and Bryan will d.
vide Swift county pretty evenly.
