MIR. Jas. Z. Fuller, of Lodema town.
ship has consented to take the vacant
place for candidate for senator in the
Second District. Mr.. Fuller is staunch
republican, a progressive and intelligent
farmer one of the oldest residents of
his township. man we'll versed in pub
lie affairs, public spirited citizen, and
very popular with his neighbors and ac-
quaintances. While he comes in late in
the race, he does not come as a stranger
in g. strange land. He is a man whose
well-known character for honesty. and
capability will inspire confidence in the
voter at the mere mention of his name.
We believe, that the republican majority
in the Second District will do their duty
and if they do, Mr.. Fuller will win out.

NOT, A REPUBLICAN.

Somebody who signs himself "Repub-
lican" writes the Chronotype that he
and other Neche republicans, have made
up their minds to vote for certain de.
mocratic candidate, because the Pink
Paper has abused and misrepresented
him. Which strikes us as the most far
fetched reason for deserting their own
regularly nominated and in every re-
spect capable and deserving candidate,
that we ever heard of. Because demo-
Gratis quarrel, then republicans should
therefore vote for the democrat that gets
the licking. Ifthat is republican doc
trlne, we never saw it in any republican
platform. The man who signed "repub-
llcan" to that doctrine by his own state.
ments proves that signature to be for
gerry.
There is no reason that can be label
ed republican" why any voter should
cast his ballot for an opposition candi-
date, and in the case referred to in COM
pairing the character and records of the
opposite candidates there are many rea-
sons, why all persons, of whatever party
should vote for MIR. Quackenbush.
Neche has distins suished herself in the
past as casting a splendid republican
vote and in the last convention had a
representation equal to any other town
in the county, and the largest in propor-
ton to the total vote. We don't be.
lieve that Neche will go back on that re-
cord just to spite the Pink Paper, es-
pecially where the opposing candidate
is their own respected townsman.

THE SAMPLE BALLOT.

We present this week to our readers a
copy of the official ballot as prescribed
by law to be voted at the ensuing elec-
tion. 1t is in all general respects SINH
lar to the official ballot except that we
have omitted the blank spaces prescrib-
ed by law IN which to write names, for
the sake of the room, and some other
slight difference fully explained under
the ballot.
Our object in presenting this ballot is
to give voters an opportunity to study
the ballot at their leisure so that when
they go to the polls they may know
whose names appear on the ballot and
where to look for them, also to know
where the squares are and how to mark
them.
The last legislature changed the law
from ''circles" to squares" and placed
the squares to the right of the candi.
dates name instead of circles to the left.
Our friends, on the "other side of
the political fence" are very much
afraid somebody will try to vote for flu.
sion candidates by marking the middle
row of squares. instead of the row at
the extreme right. However it is hard
ly worth while to tell the reader that
such mark would count for a republi-
can candidate, for if he can read he can
see for himself which square to mark, and
if he can't read it is no use telling him
anyway.
This year each candidates names an
pears only once, no matter how many
nominations he is the proud possessor
OF. So far, at present indications, there
will be no other nominations than those
ON the ballot presented, though if can
didate should die or resign, provision is
made by the law for changing the ballot
up to the last moment.
The last legislature also provided that
If a name be written in or pasted on,
then the vote should be counted for
that name even though it should not be
marked with an x.
At the head of the ballot will be seen
squares under the words Republican"
and under Independent and Democrat" ("
By placing an x in this square the vote
will be counted for each and every can
didate in the column below it. Some
times voter marks this upper square
and then marks one or two squares op-
posite names in the the other column,
such voter probably means to vote the
1.-THE straight ticket under the square at
| the top except tsthe names he has marked
IN the other column, and would probab-
ly be so counted by the board, but in
the hurry and sometimes poor light,
there might be mistake or confusion
when the ballot was read by the cam
vassing board.
We advise any one who votes split
ticket at all to mark all names voted for.
and on the other hand, any one desir-
ing to vote a straight ticket, will show
their desire palmer and clearer to the
judges and save trouble both to himself
and the judges by making the square
at the top alone.

HIS REASONS.
The Pink Paper.


The fusion committee met at this place
and assessed the candidates and offered
this paper sum of money and share
OF the printing ifit would support Conmy.
We declined the proposition and the
chairman asked us why we would not
support him. We gave our reasons as
mildly and as plainly as possible, as
follows:
First-Because his connection with
the Shea estate, made prominent in a
court trial where the full particulars were
brought out, (See Court Records) and
other matters that have since occurred.
made us believe that he was an unsafe
person for the place.
Second-That he has worked more or
less with the opposition and against can
didates running on the ticket with him
so treacherous course that no party
ought to recognize him.
Third--That he brought church mat
tiers into the campaign two years ago and
urged with church people that they could
not vote for at least one of the candi.
dates on the ticket with him, for church
reasons, thus attempting to force upon
his own people, the party and the county,
SO pernicious question that all honest
men should rebuke him, no matter what
their religious views.
In support of this we offered to bring
before the committee several persons Of
upquestioned integrity, of Mr.. conmy's
nationality and religious views, from
among the number Of leading men Of our
party who were here on that day at their
Sall, and not to delay them one minute
il bringing the individuals before them.
They could not dispute the facts and
did not, but renewed their proposition
and were plainly informed byus that no

WEED OUT THE TAREs.
Pink Paper.

AAuA 1dpSfs
This is an off gear, politically, and one
in which the party garden can, with
some safety, be cleaned of its weeds.
For some years the previous tidy garden
ing OF the fusion parties has been neg
lected and those noxious weeds that
breed discord in our parties and distress
to the people have been allowed to
creep i'll until its usefulness and beauty
have been destroyed or seriously i'm
paired. The beautiful bloom of honesty
and truth and fellow feeling have been
twined about and encompassed by the
choking tentacles ofjobbery and dis
honesty. The ground is strewn with the
tares of discord. broken pledges, hvpoc-
racy and dlssimulation; suspicion and
distrust prevades the atmosphere. We
are not speaking Of the weeds in our
neighbors' garden -and they are there
in abundance, but of those in our own
garden. So many Of our candidates are
not satisfied with riding behind our en-
blematic mule and OK, but seek to make
it a triple team by adding the elephant,
and they seek this end openly, or at the
best but thinly disguised. The sole aim
seeps to be to get Office without regard
to the means, and that the end justiffes
all means.
In 1885 the democratic party was or
ganized on the. grand old principles, but
with the pledgeito Pembina county that
reforms, honest government and re-
tFenchment should follow its success. "A |
few years later the independent party
was formed Il correct the evils Of the |
two old parties, its founders said, and
honestly believed. Does the condition

STOCK MARKET STEADY
Stimulated by Sharp Advance in the
London Exchange.
Spectators Regard the Absence of
News Concerning HOstiIities
With Indifference,

New York, May 23-While Wall Street
is still deeply interested in the conduct of
the war, it has changed it's view point, in
that it has become able to regard the
absence of news of the progress of hos
tilities with indifference. Chiefly owing to
the policy of the Government in placing a
rigid censorship upon dispatches bearing
upon the war, the past week has been
dull one in comparison with its predeces-
sors and today was also devoid Of infor-
nation regarding the chief influence in
the situation.
The market was stimulated at the OPEN
ing by the sharp advance in the London
market, which was reflected in the Ameri-
can division TO the extent of per cent
Ain the active stocks. The disposition of
the foreign dealings here was on the buy
ing side TO a moderate extent, a further
helpful circumstance. The advices of the
foreign banking houses were to the eff
feet that the strength of the London mar
ket was the result altogether of the re-
ported amiable settlement of the Anglo
French territorial dispute in West Afri-
ca, and that 1t had no relation to condi-
tions on this side of the Atlantic Still it
was remarked that Spanish As partici-
pated in the general recovery in the Lon
don market.

There is more than little adverse COM
ment on the campaign in the waters about
Cuba and in the other campaigns that
have not accomplished anything as the
days and weeks have gone by. The bust
ness men that did not want war are now
anxious for it and for very vigorous
kind, too. The dragging weeks during
which the war might almost have been
finished have been weeks in which money
has been lost to these people. A month
has now passed since war was declared
and Cuba is no nearer free than it was
this time last month. The war is no
nearer ended. Indeed, many of the clear
headed business men are saying that it

potency on the part of America, it is un-

there is TO fear in the talk that France

nothing in the long-drawn-out war show
ing indecision and lack of results on the

The stock market was as dull as usual
lately, yesterday. The entire tone of
speculation is influenced now by the un-
certainty of the campaign in the Gulf and
the Caribbean Sea- The market opened
up from the prices of Saturday on better
prices in London, but from the opening
there was falling off not important but
almost continuous. There was selling by
tinid traders several times during the day
to take profits, and in the case of those
that had recently gotten into the market

The re-eminence of the grangers in the

tangible in their present prosperity and
in their future prospects that in a time
of uncertainty there is a tendency un-
