FREE SILTER IN IOWA.

Silver sentiment, which has been
reported "dead'' by the republican
press, came to life again at the
Iowa state convention of demo.
Gratis, silver republicans and pop.
ulists.
For "dead ISSUE the question
of free coinage of silver has 6
peculiarly stubborn habit of com
ing to life In democratic state con.
ventions, and the funeral cere.
monies so frequently announced
by the republicans are thus post
poned from time to time.
Under the circumstances the re-
publicans will be forced to admi
before long that the issue which
they are SO anxious to bury is very
much alive and they may FIND
cause to regret that they have
thrown aside the mask Of bimetal.
lism under which they won the
contest Of 1896.

We sincerely hope that our
brilliant" ex-congressmsn will
not let this campaign 60 by with
out explaining the advantages ac-
cruing to the people of North
Dakota from that Great Northern
railway indemnity land grant. The
credit of that gigantic and fraudu-
lent imposition belongs wholly to
the Hon. NJ, n, and it is high
time, in our humble judgment,
that his farmer constituents were
appraised Of the great benefits
which have been conferred upon
them, to the end that they may
show proper appreciation and
respect for the peculiar fitness and
ability of the Hon. NJ. N. in his
candidacy for the U. S. senate.

IT'S right down mean of Fred
Falley's paper, the Wahpeton
Globe, to say that the interview
which made public the North Da-
kota Military scandal was nothing
but "tbs confidential babblings of
an irresponsible official who is
drunk when he ought to be sober
and sober when he ought to be
drunk-for the good of his country.
The remark alludes to Col. fuller,
who is known throughout the state
as being every inch gentleman
and the Globe must know that
such rot is not argument-neither
will it hush up the inquiry which
the people demand.

No honest believer in the restor-
alton Of silver should be guilty of
casting a ballot for single candi-
date who trains with the advocates
of the single gold standard. In
time of war it is treason to give
aid to the enemy. In this war be-
tween democracy and plutocracy
the independence. prosperity and
happiness of the toillng millions
of this country are at stake, and
it ought to be regarded as a crime
to vote for any man who afiliates
with a party which makes war on

crimes of the corrupt use Of money,
the intimidation of voters, and
frauds at the ballot box.

THE MINE ELECTION.
d, NJ, HOLMES

Maine has scored republican
victory, just as Vermont did, but,
as in the case of the latter, it was
done at the price of encouraging
democratic gains.
Maine is not as orthodoxy and
dyed-ln the-wool republican as the
Green Mountain State, but she is
considered pretty safe member
of the party of great moral ideas"
and has seldom wandered outside
the fold of that organization for a
long series of years.
That her vote should have fallen
off 80 materially from it's custom
airy republican volume points, as
did similar indication in the case
of her New England sister, to the
probability of tremendous gains
and sweeping victories in the nor
mally democratic states and i'll
some Of the doubtful ones of the
Middle, Central and Northwestern
subdivisions of the Union.
Using the nonpresidential year
Of '94 as basis for comparison,
it Will be seen that the vote of
neither party is as large in the re-
cent election as it was four years
ago. Returns from $50 cities and
towns show q diminution in the
republican vote of II per cent,
while in the same localities the
falling off of the democratic vote
is barely 2 per cent.
In other parts of Maine the per-
centage of republican losses is
even more marked. While they
have succeeded in electing their
State and Congressional tickets,
they have done so at the expense
of greatly reduced majorities. The
increase of democratic prestige
cannot fail to have a favorable
effect in the ensuing November
elections.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1898-09-22
THERE isn't the slightest doubt

THERE isn't the slightest doubt
that the republicans are becoming
alarmed over the prospect of the
capture of the House by the demo-
Gratis. Chairman Babcock and
secretary Overstreet, of the Re-
publican Congressional Commit
tee, have both made visits east
within a week, one to Boston and
the other to New York, and there
are reasons to believe that both of
them went after the same thing
money to be used in the campaign.
That the sentiment of the country
is now with the democrats is what
all the correspondents of the
Democratic Congressional Com
mittee say, and all the callers at
committee headquarters tell the
same story. Unless there is a
great change before election there
is every reason to expect that SUI
fcient democratic gains will be
made in the following states to
give the party control of the House
by a good working majority; Ken
lucky, Va, N. c., w. Va, N. Y,
n. j., O., ILL.,, Wis, Mass, and
Conn. One democrat, after sizing
up the situation said: "The only
thing I fear is that the situation
may change again before election.
But I don't see how it can"

The Peace Commissioners have
had their pow-wow with McKin-
ley-received their instructions
and departed for Paris, via New
York. 1t would be easy to follow
the majority of the Washington
correspondents. and give what pur-
ported to be the substance of those
instructions, but AS the instruc-
tons have never been put upon
paper and are absolutely unknown
outside of the administration and
Of the Peace Commission, they
can be guessed at by one man
about as good as by another. So
each reader may do his own guess
ing.

REPUBLICAN papers are in a
small business when they raise the
cry Of resident" against Prof
Schafer, the fusion candidate for
Superintendent Of schools. Such
campaign rot is likely to react
with telling effect On some of the

the silent contempt for HalIand

something that should make him
wish that he were nonresident
