If you needed your money youhad to see the man
around the corner" He got good share OF what
was due you for your honest toll. Then there was

sheriff. The two simply robbed you and laughed
in their sleeves. Do you remember the sherln
habit Of being out Of town on Saturdays when
you came in to get orders cashedi OF course, you
know why he was not in his Office. Recall asingle
instance, will you when republican sherih did
not promptly cash your order.
Shall we see signs hung out around town
reading after this fashion: County orders
cashed here the per cent of discount depending
upon how badly we need the money. or shall we
be content with having our orders cashed whenever
we present them for payment? The people OF
Harrison county have had all the ''shaving" bust
ness they want, and they will still continue to have
men to serve them, who do the business OF the
county on business principles. John A. Fleming

THE REAL ISSUE.

After all has been said and done about the
paramount issue" of this campaign, from com.
mon sense view all realize that prosperity is the
real issue The business man sees it the capitalist
recognizes it, the laborer feels it. Employment at
good wages, plenty of business thousands Of busy
factories the construction of railroads, coal mines
in full running capacity and in fact all kinds Of
enterprises and industries constitute the practical
issue, which is nearer the American heart than
anv theoretical issue that has been be hatch
ed up, On which side is this practical issue
What party is responsible for this living issue
Regard it luck if you will, under whose admins
tration has it happened An honest, unprecedented
mind and heart will answer. the republican party
is due all honor for the business prosperity of the
country from Ocean to Ocean and from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf. The practical issues is theirs
From chaotic conditions of impending bankruptcy,
from demoralized situation in business, from the
stagnation of all Of the countrys trade. from the
cessation Of all public works from which the peo
pie derive living from the abandonment of the
development Of the country's natural wealth and
treasure. the republican party by authority of the
people, took the reigns Of government from the
democratic party and inaugurated and has fostered
business, trade, manufacturing and industrial
enterprises and the development Of the
country until the United States in every niche and
corner however remote has become one vast field
of labor and enterprise and q haven of peace and
happiness.

DEMocRA71c GAG RULE

The democratic party is always bowling about
gag rule and what grand freefor-all conventions it
holds. From their own standpoint, however, Har-
rison county democrats made their county conven-
tion an exception to the rule. The most conspicu-
GUS rule they had there was the unit rule. They
observed 1t to the letter. If Squire Parrils word is
to be taken and we have no doubt he knows what
he is talking about. Mr.. Parrill claims he would
have receive number of votes for the nomination
for sheriff, if it had not been for the adoption OF
the unit rule in the Grant and Uuion delegations
Democrats are addicted to ascrbing the phrase
unit rule, to the bosses, and yet they pretend to
have no bosses. They need to explain thing or
two But it is scarcely worth while, as history
shows US they are party of inconsistencies alto
gether.

ALL NOT GOLD THAT GLH7ERs

Democrats in their recent county convention
resorted to some very low methods to defeat G. G.
Southern for the nomination for assessor. Among
other things they passed the word around that
Southern would trade of the entire ticket for him
self an imputation no one who knows Southern
believes. His democracy was never questioned,
but his party could not blame him, if his faith were
to weaken after such treatment he has received.
Southern has perfect right to be sore. BE was
promised enough votes and more than enough to
nominate him. but some of those promised were
like sand They soon slid away. Some Coal dis
trict delegates know how they counted Southern
out He claims he had majority of the Coal dele
gates and they all told him after the convention
they had voted for him. but some way the count OF
ballotswas not in his favor.

PAPER IN LINE

Herald has decided to support
the Mckinley administration
The Herald left the Republican
party in 1896. It says:
con the issue Of imperial
ism,' which is a misnomer, the
HERALD believes in standing by
the present administration. It
believes in the light of events
that the administration is pur-
suing the proper course. It
looks upon the cry Of imperial
ISM as a foolish play upon
words which should not be in
dorsed at the polls. The Herald
has the highest admiration for
Mr.. Bryan. 1t believes him to
be sincere, but it also believes
him to be in error in this in
stance. Further than that the
cry Of free silver still has an ef-
feet upon the business interests
of the East similar to the shak-

fear of it would so brighten bust

COLONEL MORTON, DEMOCRAT.
is AFRAID OF BRYAN

Colonel Morton of Fargo, S. D., an
old-time Democrat, is out against
Bryan. He was once on General
Sherman's staff during the civil war
and few years ago was chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
Of Minnesota. He is now one of the
leading farmers of South Dakota.
He says: Il note that the Demo-
cratic press throughout the country
is claiming the many Democrats
who voted against Bryan in 1896 are
lined up for the free-silver advocate
now. l don't know how it may be
elsewhere. but it is not true in this
section. have been a Democrat all
my life, but the free-silver heresy
drove meas it did thousands of
other lifelong Democrats-to the
support of Mckinley. The farmers
of the West cannot afford to have
a change in our financial conditions,
and with the election of Bryan and
a Democratic Congress-of course
l mean both houses of Congress be-
ing Democratic-a change would be
inevitable. That it would be suici-
dal for our people of the Northwest
to hazard even a remote chance of
a change is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow
on their rich acres from 40 to so per
