.N|NDSH|P'S DECORATION.
Like the Preacher, He's so Straight
He is in Danger of Falling Over
Backwards.
Old Man Wardwell Of the Pembina
Tribe Takes Fall out of the
Grand Forks Editor.

"He, a would-be-B Boss, Stands Like
the Pharasee and Prates Of His
Goody Goodness
Pembina Pioneer Express: Mr.. Win
| sE1p, the editor of the Grand Forks
Herald, has received the appointment
for the land Office at Grand Forks to
succeed 3. H. Kent, VINO was Hans
b;ough's appointee, but whose term
! is expired
| Nh. Winship's conscience in view of
some past events and action on his
| part, deem that decent respect
for the opinion Of mankind de-
manded some sort Of excuse for. ac-
cepting office from party which he
spent far more time and space in de-
nouncing than he ever did in support
| ing.
| Sundays Herald had two cclumns
Of Mr.. W.'s new declaration
the only novelty of which
was. there was nothing very new
about it, IT con sisted largely, say
ltWo-thirds, Of varying forms of express
sion, certifying that Mr.. W. represent
ed the people, and that he and a few
named other Grand Forks people. were
about all the decent folks in the re-
publican party. s
It is one of the peculiar psycholo-
gical phases of politics, that is. the way
lSall defeated candidates feel. Mr.. Win
ship was defeated 1.-THE last State corr
vention, and has been sat down on
hard ait several previous conventions
hence that tired feeling MI. Win :
ship made a combination ait that CON
vention Of the real, truly good but
alas, the wicked cowboys of the Mis-
t;souri slope united with the, demons
from Devils Lake district, and the say
ages from Pembina, and again was
Rome destroyed by the sbarbarians-
with a. bigger combination.
In his q. J. of i. aforesaid, Mr.. w.
don't mention himself personally in
this convention but uses Mr.. Spald-
Iing's name. However, as Mr.. Spald-
ing was really acceptable to the "bar-
barians," and few of them had any
lrse for Winship, his lamentations
about ':trampling under foot the will
Of the people, etc." in the case of
/ MIR. s. count as doubly woeful for
Mr. W.
In his doctrine, that any q ,b,nation
which is bigger than ours is a self
evident fraud. and a trampling down
cf the righteous, Mr.. Winship is un-
doubtedly as honest as defeated mem
] bers of minority combine usually are
but we hardly see the consistency of
accepting office afterward from the
hands and leaders of such corrupt
party.
I5 Mr.. w. acknowledges that he got
his appointment from Senator Nc
ECumbef, but in his extreme anxiety to
SHOW his independence, and to show
that there are no strings on the Her
aid, he is scarcely courteous in rem
dering his brief acknowledgment. AS
1for SenatorA Hansbrough, he would
support him against any other candi-
date now mentioned, but would pre-
fer a Grand Forks. man-of which lat
ter the insinuation is there are many

/ half loaf SO generously preferred.
# AS TO representatives, B. if. spald-
! ing Of Fargo, is the only sit" it for the
south alf-and a Grand Forks man
for the north half. One, T. f. Mar
shall, who lives in the south half, be-
| ing necessarily unmentionei and un-
mentionable under Boss Wiship's fu-
ture arrangeme ents. We say Boss
iadvisedly. Mr.. Winship, practically,
1 i'll some places distinctly, AMI in
others inferentially says, that Mr..
Spalding must be nominated, that Mr..
LaMoure must not be nominated, that
Mr.. Winship and Grand Forks must
control the next state convention or
he and the Herald will, in It's own
words. counsel that the people take
the only method open to them and ad-
minister a rebuke ait the polls. y
"sho,ild 1t be necessary, the Herald
will counsel such revolt and will Join
! It. That there may be no doubt as
TO what Mr.. w. proposes to revolt
against, We again quote the sentence
following the above. 'It is hoped what
ever intention may have existed OF
