The state Convention.

The state ticket printed elsewhere in
the Record is the outcome of the labors
of the convention held at Grand Forks
last week. There was no attempt on the
part of Governor Allin's friends to re.
nominate that gentleman. At first II
seemed that VIM. Bulge would be the
candidate, but Cass couaty refused to go
into the Bulge combine, and, withou,
that county. the Bulge forces could moi
muster enough votes to nominate. So
far as personality goes, Mr.. Briggs is ex'
tremely popular, and 1t Is doubtfulsif any
man could have, been nominated who
would poll larger vote on the Missour

BRIGHTER STILL.
More Republicans For the Senate
Than at First Believed.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Later
returns indicate a slight change
in the next senate from the table
sent out yesterday. The five
doubtful states yesteday were:
Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky,
North Carolina and South Dako-
ia. 1t is now reasonably certain
that Delaware will have a Repub-
lican legislature, the only claim
to the contrary being of irregu-
larities in Sussex county. Kan
sas will elect a fusion or indie
pendent senator to succeed PEI
fer, and Kentucky in the face of
the returns will elect a Republic
can to succeed Blackburn. The
North Carolina legislature is In
doubt, with chances favoring the
success of the fusiOnists who IN
this state were made up of Re
publicans and POpulists. Until
the legislature actually choose
Senator Pritchard's successor, 1t
cannot be told whether North
Cardinals new senator will act
with the Republican majority
and he is not classified in either
the Republican or independent
column, but in the doubtful list.
South Dakota is still in doubt,
with chances favoring fusion or
Independent senate, therefore, on
this estimate it would stand; Re

NOT A PARTISAN VICTORY.

New York, Nov. 5.-BOurke
Cochran said last night in regard
to the result: "This was not a
political contest in the ordinary
meaning of the term. 1t was an
insurrectiOn against the under
lying principles of civilization,
and l believe it is without a par
allel in the history of the world.
l have no opinion to express as to
the future of the Democratic par
ty. 1t has no future which it can
determine for itself. This cleo
ton in New York was not an ex-
preston of the people as to what
should be done during the next
four years, but as to what shall
not be done. | do not regard it
as a verdict in favor of any spe-
cific policy. 1t was a verdict a.
gainst a debasement of the cur
rency, against the destruction of
the Supreme court as an indie
pendent tribunal, as against
the notification or abridgment
of the resident power to enforce
that law. In fact it was a YER
dict that the fundamental prin-
ciples of society should not be
destroyed in this country. The
final outcome of yesterd,. = lee
ton no man can now Let,

litical issues of the future de-

KENTUCKY DOUBTFUL.
Though the Republicans Give
Figures to Prove Their
Claims.

Louisville, KY, Nov. with
two whole counties, Leslie and
Knott, and eighteen precincts
missing, Bryan has a plurality of
215 votes in the state, but MANY
returns are unofficial and it seems
highly probable the state board
will have to decide the result. OF
the two missing counties, Leslie.
Republican, gave Bradley 716
majority; Knott county, Demo
cratic, gave Hardin, Democrat,
over Bradley last year 800 major
ity. The missing precincts are
distributed about equally among
Democratic and Republican can
didates. Three missing precincts
in Bellaire are strongly Republi.
can; two precincts in Clay like
wise. One in Letcher is Repub-
lican, one in Grant Democratic.
as is one in PendletOn and three
in Henderson. Chairman Rob
erts still claims the state for Nc
Kinley by 1000 and Chairman
Sommers claims it for Bryan, but
gives no figures. He claims to
have returns from all missing
precincts. The complexion of
the congressional delegation is
four Republicans and seven Dem
ocrats. Breckenridge is said to
be defeated by Settle, silver-Dem-
Ocrat.

NEGRO CAUGHT
In the Act of Committing a Bur
glary in New Orleans.


New Orleans, Nov. "a ne
gro burglar was landed behind
the bars this morning by Patrol
men Mccormack and Evans. He
is William Ward, who says he re-
sides in Bayou Sara.
Ward conceived the idea of
breaking into the shoe store of
Joseph Pumilia, at No. 1914 Sec
Ond street, and he had visions of
valuable booty. He began opera
tons and when he was discovered
about 4:3O o'clock by Pumilia,
he was engaged in removing the
putty from a pane of glass with
a knife. He had already removed
the shutters.
Pumilia was awakened by the
noise made by the burglar, and
he covered the negro with his re-
yOlver.
PatrOlmen Joe Mccormack
and Evans, who were in the
neighbOrhOOd, went to the as
sistance of Pumilia and landed
the burglar behind the bars.
The knife is held as evidence.

HORRIBLE TORTURE.
Spanish Friends Use Methods of
the Dark Ages.


London, Nov. 5.-The Daily
News publishes a letter from an
English merchant in the Philli-
pine Islands, that was despatch
ed to London on Sept. 80. The
writer alleges that horrible afro
cities have been perpetrated by
the Spaniards, but who torture
their prisoners, particularly
when they are prominent men,
with a view of forcing them to
confess completely in the rebel
lion.
He declares that in some in
stances prisoners hands have
been nailed to walls, while in 9th
ers thumb-screws have been used
A hundred prisoners were thrown
in one night into dungeon in the
fortress at Manila, where there
was hardly room for thirty. The
place was worse than the black
hole of Calcutta. The poor
wretches were up to their knees
in filthy, putrid mud.
Fifty-nine of them died during
the night.
A reign of terror exists in Ma
nilla and elsewhere in the is
lands. Wholesale arrests are
made daily of innocent and guilty
men. The writer adds that the
rebellion is due to the rotten and
corrupt administration of the
Spaniards, which the natives
were unable to endure any long
er. The outlook is of the blacklist
description and business is at a
complete stanstill. The writer
was compelled to leave his estate,
the government refusing to guar
antee his safety there. Prison
ers are executed by the whole
sale there. In treating of this
subject the writer describes the
shooting of four men on the pub
lie promenade. The troops had
their rifles so close to the heads
Of the condemned men that when
the weapons were discharged
their heads were blown to atoms.
Crowds of Spanish women went
to see these four rebels executed.

New Orlenas, Nov. 5.-The or
der relative to the closing of bar
rooms was strictly enforced in
the rear section of the lower dis
tricts election day and the police
were nosing around looking for
viOlaters of the law. While pa
trolling the Twenty-seventh Pre-
cinct of the Seventh ward Ser
geant Tom CapO reached the cor
ner of Castalian street and Gen
lilly road. There is located the
grocery and barroom of p. Sapu-
rim, which Capo found open. He
entered the place to place the pro-
prietor under arrest, when he
found Officer Mari at the bar tax
ing a drink; he made him a pris-
Oner and took both men to the
Fifth Precinct station, where
they were properly charged.
Captain John Journee sus-
pended MARI from duty and he
will face the board at it's next ses-
sion. Sapurin is in Jail, as Mayor
Flower issued instructions that
no one charged with keeping a
barroom open be allowed his lib
erty until tried by the recorder.

From Ranch county came word

conveying his good wishes.
Russell Harrison, Lemuel,

university of the messages was

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-With
225,775 votes counted Mckinley
and Hobart have about 200 ma
jority in California. While the
precincts yet to be heard from
may reduce these figures slightly,
the Republican majority will not
be less than 5000, giving the
Bryan ticket the benefit of a
doubt wherever it seems reason
able. Republican state central
committee figures out the major
ity for Mckinley in the state at
1851, for the minimum. Unoffi-
cial returns received by the COM
mittee were in all instances con-
sentative and when differ
ence in the returns those Civ
ing Bryan the geratest vote are
accepted as the proper ones. One
gresham McLachlin has conced-
ed the Sixth district to Barlow,

The Seventh district is close, but

THANKSGIVING.
THE DAY WHICH AMERICANS ALL
CELEBRATE.
President Cleveland Issued the Procla-
nation, Setting Apart November
26 as the Day.

Washington, d. c., Nov. o
The president today issued the
following Thanksgiving prOcla-
nation:
by the president of the Unit
ed States:
"The people of the United
States should never be unmind-
full of the gratitude they owe the
God of nations for his watchful
care which has shielded them
from disaster and pointed out to
them the way of peace and hap
piness. Nor should they ever
strive to acknowledge with con-
trite hearts their proneness to
turn away from Gods teachings
and to follow with sinful pride
after their own devices. To the
end that these thoughts may be
quickened it is fitting that on a
day especially appointed we
should join together in ap-
preaching the throne of grace
with praise and supplication.
"Therefore, l, Grover Cleve-
land, president of the United
States, do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the Goth day
of the present month of NOvem-
Der, to be kept and observed as a
day of November, in the year of
throughout our land.
"On that day let all our people
foregO their usual work and oc-
cupation and assemble in their
accustomed places of worship, let
them, with one accord render
thanks to the ruler of the uni
verse for our preservation as a
nation and our deliverance from
every threatened danger of the
peace that has dwelt within our
boundaries; for our defense a.
gainst disease and pestilence dur,
ing the year that has passed; for
the plenteOus rewards that have
followed the labors of our hus-
bandmen and for all the other
blessings that have been vOuch-
safed to us. And let us through
the meditation of him who has
taught us how to pray, implore
the forgiveness of our sins and
a continuance of the blessings of
the heavenly father.
LET us remember in our
Thanksgiving the poor and needy
and by deeds of charity let our
offerings of praise be more ac-
ceptable in the eyes of the Lord.
"Witness my hand and the seal
of the United States, which l
have caused to be here affixed.
"DOne at Washington, this 4th
day of Thanksgiving and prayer
our Lord, 1896, and of the indie
pendence of the United States of

1t Will Require an Official Count

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. s.
Kansas without a doubt has elect
ed Bryan, electors. This is con-
coded by Republican State Chair
man Simpson. Populist State
Chairman Breidenthal claims the
state for the fusion ticket by 49,
900, while the Republicans as
sert the plurality will be nearer
5000. Returns still are far from
complete and complete figures
cannot be had before night and
probably not for another twenty
four hours. Democrats will prob
ably have four or five of eight
congressman and will more than
likely have the legislature, in
surfing the election of Populist
United States senator to succeed
VIM. A. PETER. Returns so far
received on the state ticket make
the result on it very close.
Chairman Briedenthal claims
the ticket headed by Leedy for
governor, is elected by about s.
600 majority, while Chairman
Simpson asserts the Republicans
will carry the state officers
through by a narrow majority.
In any event it will take the Off
cial count to decide the matter.

Mansfield, Ohio Nov. 5.-John

statement:

will settle the silver question,
which in my opinion, has most
seriously menaced the prosperity
of the country. I hope that the
gold standard will be maintain
ed with the largest use of silver
that can be maintained at parity
with gold. Then we ought to
make sufficient change in our tar
tiff and revenue laws to yield a
sufficient amount of money to
meet the expenses of the govern,
ment and create a sufficinet sur
plus to pay outstanding debts
with within a few years, and to
sufficiently and impartially pro-
tect American industries"

Democrat and Populist, is elect

Republican. 1t looks as though
the entire Democrat-Populist
state ticket is elected. The legis-

crat and Populist.
