The item relative to the departure of

We wish to warn the voters Of Viii.
liams county-both democrats and re-
pubicans-not to allow their vigilance
to wsne at the polls next Tuesday when
they come to vote on the legislative part
of the ticket, and not forget the name
of E. C. PALMER. In fact, the safest
way to protect his int and insure
bis election, will be to vote for the three
regular nominees for the legislature.
William Carroll of Minot, independent
candidate for the Legislature, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Carroll desires it
to be distinctly understood that he is
not bucking against Ned Palmer. but is
fighting against the MiDot gang" as he
calls 1t. And il one Is to Judge by the
tenor Of . circular letter sent out over
the country bv Mr.. Carroll. the MInot
contingent is certainly q most unholy
alliance. But the Graphic is not doing
battle for the ontentious forces in Ward
county. Our interests centers in the
welfare of Williams county, and our
main howl is for own fellow-citizen-
Hon. E. C. Palmer.
Unquestionably the best musical en-
tertainment ever given in WilIiston vas
the concert given bv home talent at the
Opera House last Friday evening. The
attendance was not what it should have
been, as the proceeds went for worthy
object, and more people should have
been present. Those who attended,
however, did not look at the matter in
the way of . donation, - they got more
than value received for the amount paid
rs an adm ission fee. Nearly every mum.
Der on the program Was q double num-
ber, - all of the entertainers received
hearty encores. Lack Of space and time
prevents our giving the detailed account
of the concert that 1t deserves, but each
member who contributed to the even"
inR's entertainment is deserving Of much
praise. Probably the most popular
number was the double sextette from
Floradora. which was very creditably
rendered and showed an unusual amount
