coming here. That is, he thinks SO.
What's the matter with Cavalier
county republicanism? In their county
convention held here last week they
neglected TO pass resolutions or adopt a
platform, or for that matter do anything
else except nominate the machine ticket
The men are not so bad but they stand
for nothing, nil. Do the
candidates, legislative as we'll as county,
want to dodge the issues OF the campaign !?
They know full we'll that their party is
on the defensive and not the aggressive
this year and in all probability the long
headed candidate is preparing to make
promises Of sufficient variety to suit any
locality in which he may be looking for
votes.
The DEMOCRAT learns from good
reliable authority this week that Attorney
K. s. Norgard, we'll known Milton
lawyer, and life long republican, has
stated thet he will vote for Bryan this
fall. The Philippine policy of Mckinley
isviewed with disapproval by Attorney
Norgard as we'll as hundreds of bis party.
He is member OF the executive COM
mittee of the Mckinley Club at Milton
and the step taken by Norgard may be
expected to visibly affect the party's sup
port down there. The DEMOCRAT is also
in the possession of the names of several
Langdon republicans who for various
reasons do not wish it to be made public
at this time that their vote will be cast
for Bryan this fall.
The purchasing power of Ten bushels
of wheat was the paramount issue of the
Republican last week, but that paper
lacked the nerve, or rather lacked the
facts and information to contradict the
statements previously made by the
DEMOCRAT in the matter. The Republi.
can shows lack of something else.
possibly common sense, in taking up
controversy that it cannot continue to
the end. Facts are stubborn things and
the figures taken by the DEMOCRAT from
G. A. Towne's. speech at Duluth show
beyond a doubt that the people can only
buy a third of what they could three
years ago, taking 10 bushels OF wheat, OF
it's market price, as the medium of ex.
change. Neither does it look reasonable
that the Republican should expect the
people to accept it's statement that il
case they have been robbed it is by the
retailer and not by the controlling trusts
The attitude of the Republican is silly
and childish.

the Inter-Ocean hos this to say in the
matter: The law clearly states that no
person shall participate directly or in

In other words, if anyone has particle

he shall be deemed guilty of a mis-.

ccpt that Judge Stevens of Boone, it

WHAT RUSSIA PROPOSED.
Proposition Leading to the Russo
American Agreement.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The follow
ing is the oral statement of the Rus
sian charge d'affairs, which led to
the agreement between this country
and Russia regarding China:
THAT, as repeatedly declared, Rus
STA has no designs for territorial ac-
QUESTION in China; that, equally with
the other powers now in operation
there, Russia has sought the safety
of the legations at Pekin and to help
the Chinese government repress the
troubles; that, incidental to neces-
Sary defensive measures on the Rus
sian border, Russia has occupied Men
Shwang for military purposes, and as
soon as order is re-esta blished will
retire the troops there from action if
the other powers will be no obstacle
thereto; that the purpose of the va
rlous governments in cooperating for
the relief of the legations in Pekin
has been accomplished; that, taking
the position that as the Chinese gov
eminent has left Pekin there is no
need for the representatives to re-
main, Russia directed the Russian
minister to retire with the official
persons from China; that Russian
troops will likewise be withdrawn;
that, when the government of China
shall regain the reins and go out and
afford authority with which the other
powers can deal, and will express n
desire to enter into negotiations, the
Russian government will also name it's
representative. Holding these views
and purposes, Russia expresses the
hope that the United States will share
the same opinion"

for the stock will consist mostly of
screenings of grain from the local
mills. After the sheep are fattened
they will be placed on the market,
thereby furnishing good supplies for
the local packers. This big project
probably will mark the beginning of
a large increase in the amount of

Monday a child sickened and died

ness which was at first thought to be
pneumonia. but after a minute eX-

was pronounced to be plague. An
other death has occurred since then

fering from this disease, which the

Unity of Allies Threatened by Amer
ica's New Stand,

London, Sept. In the absence of
lurther news from China, the papers
are again filled with discussions of
the Russo-American proposals, which
so far as may be gathered from the
representations of opinions in the
the various European capitals, are
calculated to subject the unity of
the allies to an exceedingly severe
and dangerous test. In Germany es-
pecially these proposals are so dia-
metrically opposed to Emperor Will
liam's policy that they have produced
something like CONSERVATION. AS
the Daily News editorially remarks
Count Won Waldersee was assuredly
not sent to assist in restoring the
empress dowager.' 1t is recognized
on all sides that Germany's decision
is the pivot of the matter. Emperor
William intended by dispatching
Count Won Waldersee to have the
master hand in the Chinese settle
ment. Russia has taken the wind
out of that officers sails and is now
posing as the friend and protector
