Mr.. Silverthorn was a democratic no

The Republican Rally Takes a Chili--More
Aacient History Canvassed.

Bathgate, Oct 21.-Special Cores,
pondence.-The republicans held their
funeral here Tuesday night. 1t was a
dismal wall and their exhorter had
to go away back past his recollections
and thresh out all the old straw up
to the present time to make even a
respectable harangue. There was
about sixty people, including women,
boys and girls, and they were tired
and sleepy set that wendell their way
homeward through the mud In the
dark. If he made one vote it was not
visible. The G. o. p. is done for in
Pembina county this year.
The democrat nominees on the state
ticket have called on the business
men here and are gentlemanly lot
of men. They made many votes for
themselves and the party.
There is desperate effort to down
Judge Conmy, but it will have no ef-
feet. The judge is too old resident
to be easily hurt. He has as clean a
record as any public servant that ever
held office and the funds Of widows
and orphans are perfectly safe in his
hands, as his past record will show.

1856 His boyhood was spent on the

received in the civil war when he was
9 years old. left him the oldest Of the

times acted as nurse and some times
as weaver for other farmers in the
neighborhood. This limited TOrger
sons opportunity to attend school, as
during school periods his brother and

every other day. His first gainful
occupation was that Of clerk in
country store, where he worked for a
year on the magnificent salary Of six

that Mr.. Dougherty betrayed his con-

VOTERS ATTENTION.

1t was only carrying out the princi-
pie which the republican party adopt
ed in this state four years ago Of de-
ception, that the last legislature
changed the plan Of voting on Off
cial ballots. They thought that they
could break up the opposition by pre-
venting a party nominees name ap-
pearing more tnan once upon the tick
ct. The result was that it forced the
independent and democrat party into
practically one party. AS the repub-
lican ticket is placed first upon the
official ballot they changed the plac-
ing Of the X from before to after the
name. They hope thus to deceive the
voters into voting the republican tick.
ct. A cross BEFORE an independent
and democrat nominee will now count
for the republican, but you cannot
by any possibility make mistake
and put an X before the republican
candidates name as that ticket has
no place before it to marke, as per
example:

The election of George A. Bangs as
states attorney is assured. This fact
has become that certain to the friends
Of his opponent and the campaign
committee supporting him that des-
perate means are being employed to-
wards attempting to turn the tide IN
his favor. The report circulated by
the friends Of Mr.. Feetham that the
fusionists are centering their cam
paign on the Office Of states attorney
at the expense Of other candidates
on the fusion ticket is a campaign
lie. The use Of such methods demon
strates a weakness in the candidacy
of the republican nominee.

school His great ambition was to
obtain some kind of an education. He
succeeded in getting a teachers GER

country schools at the age Of Is. At
ter that he alternated between teach
ing and attending school until he had
taken the elementary course of two
years at the Oshkosh state normal
school and two years at the state uni
versity at Madison, Wisconsin.
After leaving the above named in
stitution Mr.. Torgerson taught for
one year as principal of a graded
school in Wisconsin, and then came to
the Red River Valley in 1882. His
intention was to enter the newspaper
business with a friend and locate at
Ada, Mimi, but on his arrival he was
compelled to give up his plan and had
to resort to his former occupation OF
teaching. After teaching for a time
in Norman and Clay counties, Mime
sofa, he was elected to the office of
county superintendent of schools Of
the latter county, which position he
held for six years. During this per-
iod he read law in his spare moments
and was admitted to the bar in Clay
county in 1890. At the expiration of
his last term as superintendent he op-
ed law, collection and real estate
Office at Moorhead, Mimi, which was
continued for three years when he
was offered the position Of assistant
cashier of the First National Bank Of
Mayville, N. D., which he accepted
and has held ever since.

1t is said that the sailors OF the
wrecked steamer Mohegan committed
a mistake in undermining the boats
and in failing to supply enough men
to navigate them safely. This was
fault it may be, but it was in vivid
contrast with the action Of the crew
of the French steamer La Bour
gogne, who drove back the women
and children and took the boats them
selves. The sailors Of La Bourgogne
lived to be decorated by the French
government, for leaving the women
and children to drown. Brave men
go down with their ship, while cow
ards and brutes survive to receive
the honors of their government.

Instead of the dominance Of the
commercial element being an agent
whereby great nations have decayed
and fallen, it was the monumental
element that corrupted them. Rome
did not fall through shopkeepers, but
through effeminacy. Spain has not
lost her place in the world through
the increasing influence of her COM
merce, but by its decay. Poland grew
so polite and gallant that 1t was
wiped out, and the roses and lilies Of
forced civilization in France, not the
merchants, are responsible for the re-
progression of the French from lead
ing place among the nations.
