Bryan,s plurality. 81. $40.

III dil D pAuAoiitls Otso-Vs
The returns just tabulated show
that Bryan has 351,9 votes in the
state, and Mckinley 314,O93; Dockery,
$50, ,049 and Flory 3l7, ,9O2; Bryan's plu-
rality is 1880, and Dockery's 32,l47.
Dockery's total vote is 1884 less than
Bryan's, the reduction being almost
entirely due the loss Of some Of the
labor vote in st. Louis and a part OF
the railroad vote in the state.
The loss, however, is inconsiderable
in view of the tremendous efforts
made by the chiefs of the railway and
labor organizations to induce the rail-
way men and labor men to support
FlOry.
In this connection, it is well to note
the relative pluralities in this state
for President and Governor in former
campaigns:
In 1876 Tilden's plurality was 5s,-
2s9 and Phelps 5l,ss6; in 1880 Han
cocks plurality was 55,O42, Critten-
denis 5l,034; in 1884 Cleveland's plu-
rality was 33,059, Marmadukes 10, $40;
in 1883 Cleveland's plurality was 25,-
70l and Francis u, ,233; in 1892 Cleve-
lands plurality was 40, 754, Stones 90
66l; in 1896 Bryan's plurality was 5s,-
727, Stephens 1888; In 1900 Bryan IS
plurality is 1880; Dockery's is 80, ,l47.
Neither the plurality for President
or Governor in 1896 expresses the
Democratic strength, but there was a
fusion on President and a partial fus-
fusion as to Governor. The real
Democratic strength was shown in
votes given for Lieutenant Governor
and other state officers, where there
was no fusion on, the Democratic
plurality in 1896 averaging about 80,

The ehivalric white men of Georgis
opened the current with two Iynchings
OF black men for "alleged criminal
assault" We have ne sort of sympa-
thy with rapists, and we have none for
lynchers. Two crimes don't make a
virtue The orderly procedure of the
law is the only safeguard for the or
dsrl y administration Of government.
We might as veil have no courts and
officers of the law, if the mob is to have
lis own swset way in the matter of
taking human life and destroying
the property of parties they don't like.
1t is to be hopsd that the gigantic in
tellscts in Congress will be able to
evolve some legal remedy from the
national point of view to meet this
evil based on the bill introduced by
Representative George FL. White, of
North Carolina short while ago.
The conviction that the citizen of
State is greater than q citizen of the
United States Is a survival of the old
State rights mummery which culmi.
mated in the great Civil War and cost
this nation millions of dollars and
Thousands upon thousands of human

shall have to discuss the valuation of
the rights Of citizens as long as every
State is silent on the matter of the life
and properly OF citizens of the United

other conspiracies than those in the
Southern States such as the control of
strikes and like duties, and the rsgula-
ton OF trust combinations and other
combinations in restraint of trade
which will force upon the federal au-
thority. There ought to be a further
amendment to the Constitution, if au-

HE--@EA
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN
JUDGE RICE OF MANDAN AND
BOsARD AND BosARD OF GRAND
FORKS.
Judge Rice of Mandan, who repre-
sented the defendants in the injunc-
ton cases which were dismissed by
Judge Winchester recently, has re-
ceived the following letter from Bos-
ard & Bosard, the attorneys for the en-
forcement league:
We ask that you enter Judgment OF
dismissal in the cases, filing the papers
used upon the motion, both originals
and copies, and then consent that these
cases be argued in the supreme court
at Bismarck at this term ON our APP
peal. This is a matter of very great
Importance in the state. We would
[like2to have 1t settled at the earliest
possible date and will come to Bis
marck to argue the case before the SUI
preane court at any time during the
session Of this falls term that suits
your pleasure. We Will>ask the SUI
preme court to set as late a date as
possible SO as to give you all the time
that you want in the matter. and we
will furnish our briefs and abstract in
the case within ten days after we re-
ceiye notice from you of the entry OF
Judgment. We Ire very sorry that
this result has come so late"
The consent of Judge Rice is neces-
sary if the cases are to be argued at
this term of the supreme court. Mr..
Rice has answered Bosard & ,Bosard as
follows:
Yours of the 18th inst. is received.
From letters I have seen that you have
written and from what I have heard,
have come to the conclusion THAT you
consider me only half Witted. If ]
should consent to what you want, you
would%be justified in your opinion. ]
am ready to file the orders of court
any minute, but don't see that it would
be of much use to you, until you have
got your cases in court. I presume
the sheriff will deliver. the origina,

you pay his fees.
