FAIR DEALING.

.. r EAxh EALlNO
Very soon the political managers
will have to deal with a new force
in the politics of North Dakota.
In the last ten years the popula-
ton of the state has doubled.
When the next state Republican
convention meets, there will be
many new men among the dele
gates. The new corners will con-
stitute a very powerful factor in
the party. Naturally the new set
tiers, who have come in and are
now coming, will take an interest
in public affairs-they will desire
to take part in political movements
they will be- animated by that
ambition common to all good citi-
zens. In making up states they
must be considered. The old lead
ers must treat them courteously
and fairly. They must be made to
feel that they are welcome. It will
not be good politics to do anything
that will tend to arouse a feeling
of hostility between the old timer
and the tenderfoot. Let the
new conner in on the ground floor.
This later immigration has added
largely to the national wealth and
political power Of the state. The
northern part has so increased in
population as to make it stronger
in the councils of the party. The
Missouri slope makes a wonderful
showing Of increased strength, and
the same may be said of the south
ern tier of counties. This ought
not to make the great rich coun-
ties of the Red River valley jeal-
GUS, and we do not believe it will.
The growth o one part of the state
helps to increase the wealth and
Importance of the state as a whole.
The Inter- Ocean refers to this
merely to set party leaders to
thinking upon the changed condi-
tons of things politically. In a
few years more the increasing
tide of immigration will be so
great as to submerge the old polit-
ical elements. Now is the time to
foster a fraternal feeling between
the old and the new settlers in
things appertaining to politics.
We want no Boer and ouitlanders
here in this great state. We are
all North Dakotans, whether we
came in the seventies, the eighties
or the nineties. Our interests are
identical. We must act in a spirit
of friendship and harmony. This
applies to our Democratic friends
as we'll as to those of our own
political faith. In making ur
state and local tickets this year lei
us deal fairly with the new element
in politics.

That is poor and short sighted
policy which repels capita
ing it to hide through fear of un-
friendly and drastic laws. It takes
capital, and a lot of it, to develop a
country. Capital is needed every
where in this broad land to bring
about great results. It is needed
to build railways, to open and
develop mines, to build manufac-
turing establishments, to set in
motion the wheels of industry and
to keep them in motion. Along
with capital there must be labor.
The one is necessary to the other.
Their relations should be friendly
and not antagonistic. The party
which strives to array the one
against the other is a public
enemy. The business of true
craftsmanship is to so shape the
laws that equal and exact Justice
shall be dealt out to these great
forces of modern civilization
Labor and Capital.

The journal should have added

The Grand Forks Herald says if
it were disposed to do so, it could
show how Senator Hansbrough
had been a Populist, advocating
everything in the Omaha platform
"from free-silver to the sub-treas-
ury scheme" Really it is a hope
less case when a man is forced to
such Justification as Winship is
indulging in. The Herald man is
always careful never to prove any
thing. There is one answer to
the whole list of falsehoods which
Winship is circulating, and that is
that Senator Hansbrough has al
ways been a consistent Republican
was born a Republican-and is
and throughout his whole career
has been recognized as a Repub-
lican. The charge that he at any
time ever Endorsed the Omaha
platform is, too absurd for a mo-
ment's thought.

Another nomination by reclamation
was that of James Graham for con-
gress Mr.. Graham is very popular
throughout the state. He served his
country in the Philippines as lieuten-
ant and captain in the Idaho battalion
]. A Lippincott of Boise county and
J. S. Barrett of Bear Lake ran race
for the authorship. Barrett won by
comfortable majority, and the nomina-
ton was made unanimous.
G. H. Harvey of Blaine was unanl-
mously chosen to go on the ticket as
mining inspector. He made very
pretty talk, accepting the nomination.
Presidential electors were last on
the Democratic slate. Several we'll
known gentlemen were placed in nom
nation The first to go through was
Colonel ]. w. Reid. The colonel was
nominated by reclamation. A ballot
was taken on the others. 1t resulted
in the selection of E J. DOckery of
Boise and Sam ]. Rich of Bingham
1t had been reported earlier in the
meeting that the silver Republicans
had nominated Fred T Dubois for SEN
ator and c. ]. Bassett for secretary of
state, in accordance with the agree
ment entered into between the Demo
Gratis and that party. Martin of Ada,
who has all through the convention led
the fight against Senator Dubois, made
a graceful little speech, which he
wound up by motion to acqulesce IN
the senatorial nomination. The motion
was seconded by Colonel Reid and
others throughout the hall, and the
motion to concur was carried as unan-
imously and with as much apparent
enthusiasm as anything done by the
convention.
Mr.. Bassett was then nominated IN
due form for secretary of state, thus
completing the fusion with the silver
Republicans Some routine business,
such as taking up a collection for con
ventiOn expenses, was accomplished
and at l o'clock this morning the Dem
Ocrat rs adjourned sine die.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
Nominate Dubois for Senator and
Bassett for Secretary of State.


PocatelIo, July 21-Tonight the sill
yer Republicans held a most enthusi-
astic session. Their conference COM
mittee made a report in effect that
there had been awarded to them by the
Democratic conference committee the
secretary of state.
A motion prevailed TO accept the
Democratic proposition and a rising
vote of thanks was returned to the
conference committee for its faithful
and intelligent work in their behalf.
Mr.. Donaldson of Fremont county,
in an eloquent speech, presented the
name of Hon. Fred Dubois as the sill
yer Republican candidate of the posi-
ton of United States senator. The
nomination was received with vOcifer-
Gus cheers and by rising vote made
unanimous.
Senator Dubois was loudly called for
He came forward and electrified the
convention by a fOrceful speech. He
took pleasure in accepting this honor
at the hands of the silver Republican
convention. The members of the party
had stood for the principle of bimetal-
lism. They stood for that still. He
said he would win this fight and if
elected ne would take up the WOrk IN
the senate where he left off and would
be found in line of the principles he
had been advocating.
Hon. c. J. Bassett was nominated for
secretary 81 state and a committee
was appointed to inform the Demo-
cratic convention of these nominations.
A state committee was appointed and
other necessary business was trans
acted. A recess was then taken until
the Democrats adjourned.
The silver Republicans were in ses-
sion a few minutes after the Demo-
Gratis adjourned. They merely ratified
the Democratic conventions ticket and
adjourned sine die.

button bears picture of two negro
soldiers prodding with their bayonets

Above the scene are the words, Re

was noticed, however.
While General Weaver was standing
in front of the court house about II
o'clock he was approached by Doc"
