to find o cure. Finally l
learned of the remedy , Peruna,
through q friend who had
used 1t. I took Peruna for
twenty-five weeks, and am
now entirely cured. I have
every reason to think my cure

cure when all other remedies

The tin plate trust, which used
to be the pet and boast of the Nc
KinIey campaigners and still is to
some of them, as creation of the
protection policy shows but an
Indifferent article of gratitude to
it's creator. The trusts recent
discharge of $4,000 employees is a
poor return for the years Of benefit
which enabled it to assume the
position of a ''robber baron to-
ward the American people. Com
ing at this stage of the proceed
ing, with the campaign about to
be opened, such action can scarce
ly fail to have facilitating effect
on the prosperity" record. But
perhaps the people have already
seen through that humbug and
have no good opinion of Mckinley

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

On the Observation-Disclosures
ticket, which together with the
state platform will be found at the
head of the first column of this
page, it will be seen that Cavalier
county is given place near the top
in the naming of Hon. T. w. Nc
Lean as the conventions choice for
lieutenant governor. Since the
ticket was named it has been
accepted by the voters of the state
as one on which both democrats
and Independents can unite in
feeling that it reflects credit on
themselves as we'll as upon the
state. Here in Cavalier county
the nomination of Mclean for the
lieutenant governorship strikes a
popular chord and with his wide
acquaintance throughout the state,
gained at the time he was private
secretary to Senator Roach, it is
safe to say that his name will give
strength and support to the ticket
in every section of the state. His
friends at home in Cavalier want
him to fill the Office as they
know that he possesses both
the ability and capacity and be-
cause they have always found IN
him a true friend, an honest man
and loyal democrat and will do
his duty without fear or favor.
Cavalier county will work hard for
the candidacy Of Lieutenant
Governor f. W. Mclean from
now until the polls close Nov. 9th.

THE WINNING TICKET.

SINCE che holding at Grand
Forks last week of state conven-
ton in which the democrats and
Independents of North Dakota
nominated together a ticket Of
state officers the campaign be-
tween the forces Of the republican
bosses and the tax payers Of the
state has begun. The ticket which
we with feeling of pride place at
the head of the page is one that
represents the people and all that
is best in the principals of good
government, one in which the
people themselves were given a
voice in the selection of candi-
dates. The ticket is clean and
able and in contrast with the one
named by the republicans in their
convention previously does not
discriminate against any part of
the state and is entirely free of the
POLITICAL trickery which disguised
the people with latter day re-
publicanism. The platform adj
opted by the convention is given
in the first column benea til the
ticket and lays at the door of the
present administration at Bismarck
charges which the people of the
state demand should be explained
In short it is demand on the
part of the people that the rascals
be turned out and their extra.
vagances replaced with homes
capable men. Even republicans
recognize the strength Of thu
ticket nominated last ursda,
and the comparative weakness O
their own. The independent
democratic ticket is winner ane
its majority at the polls in No
vember can easily be figured GU
in five figures.

TO-DAY William Mckinley i

TO-DAY William Mckinley is
undoing the work Of Thomas
Jefferson, and the imperialists are
reviving the cry of the old tories
1.-THE colonies are not fit to
govern themselves" The doc
trines sanctifed by the blood of the
revolution are scorned as 'glitter-
ing generalities, while those who
follow the chart laid down by our
fathers are denounced rs un-
patriotic "subjects,'' as they were
in days of yore. The imperialists,
that is to say the tories, Of to-day
have discovered the greatest
blunder of history. We should
have submitted to England and
listened to Burke, who said that
men had no rights AMI were not
wise enough to govern themselves
if they had. They would amend
the Declaration of Independence
and make it say: Cali men are
created equal, except those who
are created otherwise. Govern
ments derive their just power from
the army and navy" They would
ignore the constitution so as to
deprive human being Of the right
of suffrage and the right Of trial
by jury. They would revise the
word of God and make Him say,
"Thou shalt not kill, except by
wholesale and for purposes of
benevolent assimilation" With
fire and sword they would conquer
the Orient and in the meantime
impoverish the occident.

1T TELLS THE TALE

IT is natural that Mr.. Bryan. in
the speech which he will make
accepting the democratic nomina-
ton for President Of the United
States, should discuss fully and
frankly the great evil of the trust
system as bearing upon the well
fare Of the people Of this country,
1t will be as natural for Bryan to
do this as it was natural for Nc
Kinley, in accepting therepublican
nomination for the presidency, to
say not one word about the trusts
Indeed, the contrast thus drawn
between the two men will be
typical in it's significance. Bryan
stands for the people against the
trusts. Mckinley stands for the
trusts against the people. Bryan
and the people were defeated in
1896 by trust influence. Mckinley
and the plutocrats were placed in
power in 1896 by trust influence.
The things for Which the trust
hated Bryan in 1896 are the things
for which they hate him in 1900.
The purposes for which the trusts
raised the Mckinley slush fund of
1896 are the purposes for which
they willraiae the Mckinley slush.
fund of 1900. Bryan is free from
