Hon. @. A. M. Spencer was born in
1850 is ofScotch and Englleh descent was
educated at the University of Michigan,
graduated in 1873 and has practiced law
continuously for over twenty five years.
In August 1881 Attorney Spencer came
to Grafton, Walsh county, North Dakota,
and has been a resident there up to the
present time, over nineteen. years. His
record as private citizen is as open as a
book. In public life, in his law office and
as q servant of the people it may be said
he has filed the Office of States Attorney
Of Walsh county for eight years, aud
elected by vote of the people of the
entire state for their Attorney General
for term Of two years, also term as
Mayor Of the City of Grafton. Since
establishing as q law practitioner in that
city nineteen years ago Attorney Spencer
has been foremost among the members
of the bar and has become largely in
terested in real estate and town property
in Walsh county and identified with the
best interests and enterprises OF his home
city. Attorney Spencer's candidacy for
the judgeship of this district is being
conducted in an honorable and open
manner which in nowise car be classed
as that of political affair aud if elected
he can be depended upon to dicharee
the judicial duties of the office strictly in
accordance with the law and without
fear as favor.

understood, will occupy apartments at

We do not learn that Mr.. Kneeshaw is
making any special effort, either through
the central committee or personally, to
secure the votes of Walsh county. Per-
haps he doesn't want Walsh and if he
does not he is not obliged to have it.
Perhaps he thinks that Mr.. Spencer is
going to carry this county heavily any
way and there is no use for him to work
here, but is putting III his cash and time
IN the other counties. However that
may be, there ia but little heard ct Mr..
hneeshaw in Walsh. The farmers are
frequently heard to ask, "who is this Mr..
kneeshaw?" They do know Spencer, he
has always been their friend, has been
liberal to fault with those who were in
need of help and they feel like support
ing him this year unless they can find a
better man. They know that he has
! made the greatest success in the law of
any attorney in the district, and cannot
for the life of them see why be will not
make good judge. As it stands now
Mr.. Spencer has the inside track in this
county and appears to be growing stron-
ger every day.-Walsh Co. Record.

BRYAN WILL BE ELECTED.

In 1876 Zach. Chandler, then
chairman of the republican nation
al committee, sent out his famous
dispatch, "Concede nothing; claim
everything" The result was the
theft Of the presidency by the re-
publican party.
Today the republican managers
are adopting the same policy.
Their campaign for the past ten
days has been one Of bluff and
bluster. Every political incident
has been favorable to Bryan, but
every day the republican claims
are noisier. Last week Chairman
Payne announced in the papers all
over the country that he would
bet 2 to / that Bryan would get
fewer electoral votes than in 1896.
Repeated efforts have been made
by democrats to get Mr.. Payne to
bet anything from $500 to $4,000,
but he won't put up cent. His
purpose was served when his bluff
was widely heralded, for he knew
that the fact of his backing down
would not get as wide publicity.
New the republicans are claiming
Missouri and Kentucky, not be.
cause they have any expectation
of carrying them, but in the des-
perate hope that show Of conf
dence may reanimate their des-
pairing voters.
Bryan will carry every state he
did IN 1896, with the exception Of
Wyoming. He will carry New
York, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio,
West Virginia and Indiana. In
California, Illinois, Minnesota,
Michigan and Delaware conditions
favor the Democrats. The situa-
tion cannot be changed by the full
m11inations Of Perry Heath and H.
9. Payne, nor can the states which
Bryan will carry be either bought
or stolen this year, The demo-
cratic organization -is systematic,
Its members alert in every state
where there sis reason 10 appre-
hend danger.

BOUND BUT NOT GAGGED.

Poor old Senator Hoar is max.
ing q pitiabls spectacle of himself
in his attempt to secure a re-elec.
ton to the Senate by supporting
President Mckinley whose policy
he despises. a The Senator is
bound to the republican party by
ties (the love for Office that he
is unable to break. But in a re.
cent speech at Northampton he
reveals the fact that if his spirit
is not free to act it yet has partial
freedom at least to speak. In the
speech referred to Senator Hoal
makes use of the following Ian.
guage:
Now propose to take the bull square
" by the horns. Idiffer from the Presi-
dent and many efmy friends. I think
a great mistake has been made by the
country and the republican party. When
now they say to me that the Philippine
Islands are ours, / must say that the
Philippine Islands belong to the Phillip
pine people. 1 say that the people are
entitled to such a government as they de-
sire. When anybody tells me that you
should not haul down the American flag
I say that you have just hauled it down
IN Pekin and that you are going to haul
it down in Cuba. There is one thing
more sacred than the flag and that is the
sacramental wine, emblematic OF the
blood shed for mankind, and the man
who would use the American flag in
order to retain possession OF land and
it's people would for the same reason use
the sacramental wine for debauch.
After using Che above language
the Senator makes an attempt to
credit the men who take the op.
posite side to himself with intelli.
genee, honesty and patriotism be.
cause they are running for Office on
the republican ticket with him
It is noticeable, however, that il
all Of his audiences in Massachu-
setts this year the Senator receives
applauss when he condemns the
policy of Mckinley, u ong and
Lodge, but that the applause i
very faint when he attempts te
apologize for these political and
moral degenerates.

position Of supporting with hit

sacreligious and which he likeni

The two candidates for the judicial
honors of the Seventh District are
personally both good men and finished
lawyers, but the DEMocRA7, favors the
candidacy Of Hon. O. A. M, Spencer, the
nominee Of the Independent and Demo

party voters should give him their hearty
support at the polls. He has a winning
record since the beginning of his legal
career in this state nineteen years ago

ment for judicial honors. Lot every
Independent and Democrat voter be

BRADSTREETS TRADE REVIEW
Many Advances in Wages Increases
Purchasing Power.
FARM PRODUCTS ADVANCED.

New York, April AS regards
prices, the feature OF the week has been
the strength manifested by agricultural
products and provisions. The ad-
vances in the latter in fact, are regard
ed as foreshadowing an upward
movement in hog products, long pre-
dicted but only partially realized
Numerous advances in wages have still
further advanced the purchasing power
of the community. Disquieting ad-
vices as to the international complica-
tons and less favorable French crop
reports have furnished the basis for
slight upward movement in wheat.
Winter wheat crop advices have been,
on the whole. good and have acted as
a balance to the stories OF French dam
age. Corn has been strong, in sympa-
thy with wheat and some renewal OF
foreign buying. aided by unsatisfactory
advices as to the quality Of new arrivals.
''Alone of the agricultural staples,
cotton has weakened during the week.
not because of any impairment OF the
statistical position, which. in deed, re-
mains very strong, but really because
some speculative holders have gotten
tired and have given ear to reports of
dizziness in the cotton goods demand.
The recent advance in leather has
tended to restrict new business, but
adviceS from the boot and shoe industry
are on the whole favorable. There has
been some accumulation of stocks of
lumber and talk of over production iD
some states of the South, but price
weakness is not as yet notable. Man

WANT TROOPS 70 REMAIN.
A Reign of Terror and Tyranny,
Seldom EquaIIed.
PETITION OF $500 CITIZENS.

Washington, April 3.-Governor
Steuenberg, of Idaho, called at the war
department and presented in person to
Secretary Root the petition to which he
referred while under examination be-
fore the house committee on military
affairs, in favor of retention of federal
troops in the disturbed mining districts.
The governor had refused to produce
the petition before the committee until
he had first submitted it to the secre-
tary of war, to whom it was addressed.
The petition bears about $500 sigma
lures, and recites that all of the signers
are citizens of Idaho and of the county
of Shoshone and the Occur D'Alene
mining district. They petition that
the secretary of war allow the small
force of federal troops to remain in the
quarters provided for them and occu-
pied by them at the town of Osborn,
Shoshone county, for as long time as
Governor Stuenberg may think their
presence necessary for the preservation
of peace and order.
Inc clLlZonS also express Lne1r dp-
proval Of all the acts that have been
done by the. governor and the officials
of the state to preserve peace and order
and to bring criminals to justice.
The petition says that some of the
acts of the state authorities may ap-
pear to people at distance to be
drastic and severe, but the signers, who
are familiar with the conditions which
existed for several years prior to the
declaration of martial law, last May,
know that drastic measures were neces-
sary to stop the band of conspirators
who, shielding themselves behind the
name of labor organizations, lad
created reign of terror and tyranny
seldom equaled.
In conclusion the signers beg to state
that the efforts of the governor and
state officials, assisted by the military
authorities, have brought peace and
good order to the district and given an
impetus to all business interests and d
sense of safety to all people, which are
appreciated and for which the signers
are grateful.

GENERAL WHEELER'S REPORT.
Guam; Its Area; Its Population and
Its Productions.
TOWNS NEAT AND COMPLETE.

Washington, April General
Wheeler has submitted to the navy de-
partment report upon his observations
and impressions of the island of Guam.
He says the area of the island is about
$50 square miles, of which one-half is
susceptible to cultivation, although
only one per cent is now under cultiva-
ton. The population is fixed at about
go, 900 souls, nearly all of whom reside
in the towns. The soil is very fertile,
and fruits and staples are produced in
quantity, the cocoanut trees especially
having an appearance of thrift and
bearing power superior to any seen be-
fore in the tropics. The dug dug and
other bread fruit trees grow to an
enormous size on the islands.
Deer and wild goats are found in
abundance. Flying foxes are numerous
and form one of the principal staples
of food. Centipedes, wasps, large
spiders and a species of small scorpion
are common, but their bite or sting is
not dangerous. There are no tarantu-
las and no snakes.
The principal and in fact the only in
dustry of any consequence in Guam is
the production and expectation of
copra, the product in England selling
for SIS ton. The towns of the island
are very neat and complete, a good por-
ton of them being built of stone, and
the rest of nipa and bamboo. The
roads. with few exceptions, become
very bad in the wet season, but as all
the towns are on the coast, sea travel
is always available. There is very little
money on the island and wages are
low.
The temperature is mild, and much
cooler than that of the Philippines, al
though the inhabitan declare the heat
in August and September is almost
.suffocating. The rainfall is very heavy,
and dry days are few.
The people are very friendly and as a
whole have regular features and erect
forms
To the drinking water on the island
is attributed great amount of sick
ness among others than natives, and a
plant for .distilling water has been
erected at Agana, the principal town.
Agana has about 6, 400 inhabitants, and
is described as being clean well built
