v-Elect Lind, of Minnesota,
before election, said he was q
political orphan-that he did not
belong to any political party. and
that he wanted to be elected gov
ernor because he thought he
would make q good one irrespec-
tive of any party. He said that
to catch votes and a whole lot of
sucker republicans" voted for
him. Now that he is elected he
comes out and claims that he is
a Bryan democrat and that his
election is o grand free silver
victory. Minnesota now enjoys
the distinction of electing a free
silver governor while every con-
gressman and every other state
officer is republican. Minnesota
has q democratic governor for
the first time in forty years.
There are q whole lot of fooled
voters kicking themselves in
that state since John Lind's
speech at New Ulm.

There is a growing disposition
on the part of j. A. Johnson, de-
feated candidate for state sena-
tor, to institute a contest in the
state senate and expects to gain
his seat because the senate is
composed largely of republicans.
Johnson was fairly beaten by a
majority of the voters of the
ninth district and Mr.. Cronan
fairly elected. The Courier de-
sires to see fair play and it would
be a crying shame and q disgrace
to the republican party Of North
Dakota it such a thing occurred.
We have faith enough in the
republican party to believe that
a majority of our state senate
will not be a party to any such
scandalous action as that of un-
seating Mr.. Cronan who has been
fairly elected. Johnson always
was a little on the fence and now
that he has been knocked off he
had better take his medicine
like man.

In editorially commenting on
the condition of the wheat
market at this place last week,
the Sentinel, which is developing
quite an appetite for misrepre-
sentation, says it is the fault of
the republican board of railroad
commissioners and the republi-
can railroad gang ticket We
had supposed that now the elec-
tion was over that that sheet
would handle the truth a little
more carefully, but it seems that
it can't. The republican party
does not own the elevators or the
railroad and how in time it is to
blame for the elevators not pay
ing more for wheat is beyond
our ken. The Sentinel would do
the people of North Dakota a
lasting service by telling the
railroad commissioners how they
can compel the elevators to pay
more for wheat and make the
railroad furnish cars, instead of
everlastingly laying the blame
to the republican party. In 1892
the same conditions existed and
the populists had entire control
of state affairs including the
board of railroad commissioners,
but did that board remedy mat
ters? 1t didn't do a thing but
draw salaries and they did that
as regularly as the republicans
draw theirs now IF instead of
abusing the other side the Senti-
mel would point out a way to
remedy these things the Courier
will second it's efforts to the ut
tefmost, There isn't paper in
this state or q republican, but
what is willing to do all he can to
remedy these matters. This
everlasting howl set up by the
populists is tiresome.

Mr.. Bryan's military lockjaw
has been loosened up and his
shoulder straps do not stop him
from talking. The late cleo.
tions would loosen the tightest
democratic lockjaw on earth.
Mr.. Bryan attributes the repub-
lican victories in the congress
sional elections to the influence
of the war. He says there was a
disposition to support the ad-
ministration. and it was feared
that the election of an adverse
majority in congress would be
construed as an encouragement
to our foreign enemy. Mr..
Bryan is of course unwilling to
concede that the sound money
sentiment very largely influ.
enced the result, and he predicts
that the silver question will
come to the front again in the
next national elections. ''The
Chicago PLATFORM he says,
presents for public consider
alton certain vital economic ques-
tions. That platform has not
been abandoned by those who
endorsed it in 1896. It will be
reafirmed in 1900 because it
gives expression to the hopes
and aspirations of a large majori-
ty of the party" Of course the
Nebraska statesman has to keep
a stiff upper lip because he wants
the nomination for president in
1900 and he can only make the
race on O free silver issue. He
is fighting losing battle.

The amendment voted upon at
the recent election was carried
by good majority. It permits
only citizens of the United States
to vote, requires the legislature
to prescribe an educational
qualification for voters, and per-
mitting it to make voting COM
pulsory. Regarding the amend
ment the Grand Forks Herald
says: '.The citizenship matter,
Of course, will not require any
legislation, as the amendment
takes the matter entirely out Of
the hands of the legislature. It's
effect will simply be to hasten
the taking out of citizenship pa
pers by those who have resided
in the country long enough, and
to disfranchise those who have
lived in the country for less than
five years.
The matter of formulating a
bill which will sufficiently test
the voters intelligence, which,
. at the same time avoiding an un-
necessarily severe test, and the
arrangement of test which will
be convenient, and which can be
readily applied, without being
susceptible of improper use for
partisan advantage, will be a
task Of great delicacy. :.
With reference to compulsory
voting, it may be said that, at the
present time, it would be of
doubtful utility. If the voters
who now attend the polls all at
tended the caucuses and assisted
in the nomination of candidates,
the conditions would be vastly
improved. A law requiring
electors to present themselves at

The Nelson County Herald says
that Hon. M. N. Johnson will

The North Dakota legislature
win nave q good opportunity to do
some good and valuable work for
the state at the coming session.
One Of the first acts Of that body
should be to amend our divorce
law so that it will require one
years's residence in this state in
stead of ninety Gays as it now
stands. Another move in the
right direction would be the re-
peal of the bill allowing an ap-
preparation for the state fair at
Mandap. Every year the people
of this state-a majority of whom
have voted in favor of state pro-
hibition-have to read in the
state papers about somebody be-
ing licensed to sell intoxicating
liquors at this fair, while it is
held under the laws of the state
of North Dakota. It is not fair to
majority of the people of this
state and sets a bad example for
other officers of the state to fol.
low. The law should be repealed
and If Mandan wants an annual
fair let the people of that section
get it up with their own money
and run it to suit themselves,
and if the laws of the state are
violated let the proper officers
step in and enforce them.

FOR CHIEF OF POLICE.
Thomas Dwyer Named by the
Mayor. w. Wilson Declines.

Mayor Land last night sent to the
City Trustees the nomination of Thom-
as Dwyer for Chief of Police, and the
belief seems to be quite general that Mr.
Dwyer's nomination will be confirmed
by the Trustees.
Mr.. DWyer is a young man of more
than average intelligence, is energetic,
courteous, of pleasing address, and is
imbued With a laubable ambition TO en-
ter public life. He has long been q
faithful employe in the mechanical de-
p1rtment of the railroad works, and is
known as an industrious, high minded
temperate man. Indeed he possesses
many striking qualifications for a posi-
ton of trust and honor in which firm
ness of character, ability and fairness
ara needed.
Mayor Land had previously rendered
the nomination to j. w. Wilson, but
Nj. Wilson did not desire the place as
Will be seen by the following letter re :
ceived from him yesterday by the
Mayor:
Hon. VIM. Land, Mayor of Sacraman-
to-Dear Sir: 1t is hardly necessary
for me to tell you that the tender Of
the appointment as Chief of Police OF
tElS Cily VI IidQC 81 Cci :
daily by yourself, is sincerely appreci-
ated. l thank you for the honor you
have done me. and I treasure your es-
TEEN as one of the most priceless tok-
ems one citizen may have for another.
The position of chief guardian of the
peace welfare and personal safety is
most responsible one in any comnu-
nifty, and your choice Of me for so hon
orable and important post of duty is
both fiattering and serious.
l have given the tender of the office,
Mr. Mayor, careful and thorough con-
sideration, and [ do not see my way
clear to accept the position. Again
thanking you, and wishing that your
administration may be the very best Of
all in Sacramento's history I am yours
respectfully, j. w. WILSON.
