The county board are in session this
week, counting the vote and auditing the
election bills is the principal business.
The latter is quite a job as there are IS
polling places and there are three judges,
two clerks, messenger, polling place
and sometimes constable to pay for at
each precinct making. somewhere near
$500 items of expense for these which
run from $500 to $500 each. The judges
and clerks are allowed from one to two
days each at s2.OO per day. The mess
enger gets the same and cents mile.
Besides this expense, there is large
bill for printing ballots and for legal adj
vertising, as we'll as the sheriff's fees for
distributing election. supplies to the
various precincts. The total cost fol
election is therefore very large amount

sheets were printed, the votes Of Messrs
Douglas and Fraser were transferred,
giving each the others vote, making il
appear as if Mr.. Fraser had run ahead
and Mr.. Douglas behind the ticket,
which as Mr.. Douglas is resident here
looked bad for him. The change by the
canvassing board of course increased
Mr.. Douglas vote and leaves him only
q behind Mr.. Chevalier. Hensel village
and Drayton township show that they are
the banner democratic strongholds in the
county. Fortunately while they are solid
they are not very thick through, though
as our Hensel correspondent says,
/ Hensel is still wondering how Mckinley
can be elected when almost the solid
vote of Hensel went for Bryan.

Down in South Dakota,the republicans
were so anxious to beat Pettigrew for the
senate that they put in such peculiar
work on the Legislative ticket that the re-
suit shows only about 80 democrats
elected out of 1872 members .of,the legis-
lature. The senator that twas ashamed
of his country" now finds his own state
heartily ashamed OF him. And yetPetti-
grew personally is one of the brightest
politicians of the northwest. But even
the pied piper Of South Dakota has not
the power to lead the people to the
wildernesses of copperheads and dis
loyalty. Every one OF the Old pioneers
will regret the necessity of this beating OF
Pettigrew, but they regret the necessity
not the beating.

BRYAN AND DnMooRAoY.

BRYAN AND DEMOCRACY.
Just now there IS much speculation as
to the future Of w. j. Bryan md the dem.
ocratic party. Allrecognise that there is
a wide spread disorganization, resulting
largely from the elects Of fusion with the
populist party and the semi-acceptance
of the radical views Of Mr.. Bryan and the
ipopulist party. Nothing seems 50 GER

rauch of:its old time significance because
Of our own vast increase in manufactures,

1896

As between 1885 and 1900 the repub-
lican ticket shows gain, the democratic
majority of the former year being 12O
which this year is changed to arepublican
majority Of AL. There Is however a
republican loss from 1893 when the aver.
age republican majority was about 500.
The total number Of voters this year will
approximate 8, $50. In1see, about 2, 700,
and in 1893 "a county seat fght) 3, 775.
St. Joseph is the only township showing
decided democratic gain and the light
vote ofthe county probably accounts for
the difference in majority over 1893.
The majorities for the local candidates
for the different parties prove that the
people Of Pembina county are not hide
bound by party ties, and. this perhaps in
/ way is really . compliment to the
members Of the respective parties, be-
cause il shows that they have positive

WHAT THE ELECTION MEANS

A1A'S sAAS ASFuOASou party AdS OSSll
successful at the polls it does not mean,
and republican statesmen will do we'll to
remember it, that the people are in favor
of monopolies, or that the final status Of
the Philippines is definitely fixed,
The people have supported the repub.
lican candidates because they believe
that corporations have certain just rights
and that the wrongs can and will be cor.
rected by due process OF law.
They also believe that the Philippine
question is matter of the future, and
that the wisdom and statesmanship
shown by the president is a guarantee
that the Philippine question will be set.
tied at the proper time with justice and
fair dealing to both the American and
PHILIPPINE peoples.
Any other disposition of these two
questions will mean the downfall OF the
republican party at the earliest oppor
tunity by as decisive majori,ies as those
that have been given against the dem
ocratic party.
The American people are and have
shown by their votes that they are pat
friotic and progressive, that they are
willing to condone minor errors, thai
this is a transitory period in our history
but they want steady hand at the helm
land straight course right onward, fol
these are days Of impending probabilitie:
and ever widening possibilities.

democratic party there would be no

good they should be appreciated even by

To the People of the United States,
Greeting:
Four years ago
You demanded work for your idle
sons.
You got it. You never had so many
people employed as now
You wanted your idle capital to be
employed.
You got it.
tramps mustered out.
They are gone.
You wanted your soup houses clos.
ed up.
They are closed.
You wanted to get rid OF the rcCoiv,
ers of your railroads and banks.
They are gone.
You wanted to see the smoke com
ing from the stacks of our Smelters.
mills and factories.
1t came. Many have since been
kicking about the smoke nuisance.
You want the savings banks deposits
to increase.
Never so large in your history as at
present.
You wanted to see interest rates de-
crease that your people could borrow
your ~resourcps
You got it.. Interest has never been
SO low as now.
You demanded more money. The
circulation must be increased per cap
tia.
You got it. 1t has increased with
marvellous rapidity for four years.
You demand that one dollar be just
as good as another.
You got it. That is the kind We
have now. and you can get all the sill
yer or paper you want at any bank.
You demanded the markets of the
world for your surplus products and
goods.
You got it. Got it so suddenly that
it almost dazzled you.
You wanted us to stop borrowing
money in Europe.
We stopped it. and Europe is now
borrowing money from us.
You wanted the government to col
lect every dollar of the Pacific railroad
debt, instead of a portion as Mr.. Cleve
land proposed.
Mr.. Mckinley made them pay every
cent, principal and interest.
You wanted Cuba liberated.
1t is done.
You wanted the rights of our people
maintained at home and abroad.
