THE PASSING of w1ysssrr.

of North Dakota will be well satisfied
with the overwhelming defeat of George
B. Winship for the position of candidate
for governor on the republican ticket 1t
is well-melited rebnke to one Of the
most consummate demagogues and mar
row minded hypocrites that ever existed
in this or any other state.
Ever since his treachery assisted in de-
feating William Bulge at Grand Forks,
two years ago, Winship has. been working
for the gubernatoiial nomination. He
has had pcripatctic and adventurous
iaw-smitii named Rankin going about the
state seeking to create preiuajccs aud
stir up animosity between the different
sections-all in his interest. Through his
| newspaper he has never missed an op-
portunity to SANDER the people of the
Missouri Slope, and his dislike for the
residents in this region he has made no
| attempt to conceal.
Recently he has posed as champion
Of the people in their fight for equal tax
alton and reasonable transportation rates
yet two years ago, at both state conyen
tions, he was training with the faction et
by the railroad attorneys.
Thedcfeat of Winsbip is l.. ore one sided
than that of any other candidate for
governor before republican convention
since statehood Itis a matter Of supreme
satisfaction to the people of the Mssour
Slope that the result of the convention
demonstrates that Winship's methods arc
as Unsatisfactory in many other sections
of the state as they are out here.
And Winship still prates of gangs
just as he did before the political mule
kicked him, although the delegates in the
convention were MS three to one against
him. Everybody who wasn't for Winshir
is member of 'the gang" now, accord
ing to the Grand Forks Herald, regardles!
iof 'show lie voted on the lottery or o:
how he stands on prohibition.
] Had it not been for, Winship, Judge
| Corliss would have been renomnated
But Winship's rule-or-ruin policy, al
usual, stood in the way. If Winshil
couldn't get office, no other Grand Fork
man should have it. Judge Cochrane, o
Grand Forks county, when he saw tha
there was no show for Winship, want,
the latter to withdraw and allow the del
egation from Grand Forks county t.
enter the winning combination and sccur
the nomination Of Corliss. But Winshi]
wouldn't consent to that, and Young wa
nominated for the supreme bench instea
of for congress, and the member of con
gress was given to the county tina
wouldn't buy flag. No wonder Judg
Cochranc remarked, after the convention
adjourned, that "Winship is very narrow
minded
/ When John Miller and Roger Allil
were nominated, the Slope folks didn'
like it; but they swallowed their dis
\ appointment and went to work for TIN
ticket, and the usual republican vote wa
| poiled in every county in this region
But, now that Wnship is disappointed
instead Of accepting his defeat gracefully
| he goes home and growls. Whether h
will bolt outright remains to be seen. l
is to he hoped. that he VIII bolt. He ha
villiiicd and abused the leaders of th
party in a half-dozen states, and ne Cal
do less harm outside than ne can do by hi
treacherous methods inside. He shoul
not be promised an office, and withou
such promise, his loyalty cannot bt
counted on. Let him slide. His heart i
bad toward the ticket, and hecsnnot b.
