In next falls election there is

In next falls election there is a
black eye in sight for the republi-
can party of Michigan, as we'll as
every other state in the Union for
that matter. Hon Henry Cooper,
an eminent authority on political
matters there is authority for the
statement and says 1t is the farm
ers Of that state who will deliver
the blow. The trust proposition
will be responsible. Mich igan
farmers have been given a sam pie
of how trusts operate, in the barbed
wire industry. They are asked
three times the real value of the
article and are not going to pay it
Would even first go without bar
bed wire before they submit.
They have been told that con-
bination and the increased price of
the wire are due to the republican
administration, which makes it
possible for such combinations to
be effective. Farmers of Michigan
naturally think that new admins
tration might better regulate this.

THE IuDGESHIP.

IT is highly probable that this
year Cavalier county will have
something more to say about the
naming of a candidate for the
district judgeship than the mere
seconding of nomination sought
by one or the other of the Valley
counties, which since the establish
ing of the Seventh District seem
to have run away with the idea
that they have a life lease on the po-
sition. The friends of Attorney
Cleary, of this city, maintain that
his professional record of years
standing in the state warrant them
in picking him out as a strong
candidate with ample judicial
capacity for the judgeship. The
chances are in favor of a Cavalier
county nominee, this year as re-
publican forces in Pembina and
Walsh are lined up behind their
favorite sons for judicial honor,
and with such a candidate as
Attorney Cleary to place before
the district judicicial conven.
tion at st. Thomas on July Goth
there should be no difficulty in
Cavalier landing the judgeship
plum when election comes around
in November. Attorney Cleary
is one of the states old timers, has
a wide acquaintance in Walse
county and for years was a success
full legal practitioner in Eddy
county. He is a straight foreward
man of sterling qualities, a good
lawer and we asks the a cooper
alton of all democrats to work for
Attorney Cleary's condidacy be-
fore the approaching county and
district judicial conventions.

ASIDE from the crop situation as

ASIDE from the crop situation as
regards wheat and other grains,
the subject that is at present
agitating the mind of the farmer
down in the Valley more than
anything else is what is to be done
for hay. Heretofore there has
always been more or less wild hay
that was available, but this year
there is absolutely none to he had.
The hay situation has been seri-
GUS one with them for some time
past owing to the fact that year by
year the country is settling moro
and more and wild lands are be-
coming scarce.

DURING the campaign of 1866
the principal speakers used by the
republicans were former demo-
Gratis who had become dissatisfied
with their party's policy. During
the present campaign this is re-
versed. The democrats are pre-
pairing to distribute to the country
the speeches opposing the Porto
Rican tariff and the Philippine
policy delivered in congress by
prominent republicans of the
caliber of Senator Hoar. The
changed conditions in the country
are significant.
