Origin Of the Republican Party.

Frank Leslie's Weekly
At Ripou, Wis.,. in meetings held on
February % and March 20, 1854, be-
fore the passage of the Kansas Ne
braska bill in the hOuse-but when its
enactment was seen to be inevitable
the first systematic movement made
anywhere in the United States look
ing to the formation of new party
based on hostility to slavery extension
took place. The master spirit in
these gatherings was Major Alvan E.
Bovay, Wing, and his associates in
the movement included Freesoilers,
Knownothings, and Democrats Bovay
proposed that the new party should
adopt the name of Republican, which
was the name Jefferson chose for his
party founded in 1871, the progenitor
Of the Democratic party of 1929 and
afterward. Jefferson was an enemy
OF slavery extension. In the early
part of Jackson's presidency the name
Democratic, which had for years been
used interchangeable with Republic
can, displaced the original desiRna-
ton and has been the title of Jeffer-
sons party ever since.
The new party movement of 1854
spread rapidly under the stimulus Of
the peril to freedom offered by the
Kansas-Nebraska territorial act, and
the name Republican was adopted In
several Of the states quickly Michi-
gan had the first state convention OF
the coalition. 1t was held in Jackson,
and as there was no hall in the town
large enough to hold the delegates the
gathering assembled in a grove of
oaks, adopted tine name Republican,
and put up ticket headed by KinsIey
s. Bingham for governor and that
ticket swept the state in November.
State conventions which formerly
adopted the name Republican met in
Wisconsin and Vermont on July Is,
1854 week later than Michigan,s-
In Massachusetts September Z, and in
New York September %. Other North
ern states nominated other anti-slav-
cry tickets in 1854 without adopting
the Republican name, but most of
these took the name in 1855; and
every Northern state had a Republic
can organization before the ballots
were cast for president in 1856.

The Ghosts.
The Minneapolis Journal of

The Minneapolis Journal OF
Sept. Is, in speaking of Laura
Frankenfield Co., which comes
here in "Ghosts" Oct. 20, says:
Northern Minnesota people
showed their appreciation Of the
great DR.. Ibsen, by giving a very
large house last evening to wit
ness the performance of"Ghosts. !"
The entire performance was most
artistic and our people have
seen Isben played in q manner
which even lbsen could not
criticise. The part ofMrs. Alving
which is played by Miss Franken-
field, is most difficult, but is
handled by that talented lady in
a most satisfactory manner and
we have no hesitancy in saying
she is one of the most talented
emotional actresses who visits
our city. The entire company
meet all the requirements oftheir
part.

Country Fooled Them.

The south prairie country sur
prised everyone this year as it
was always supposed that the
land north OF Minot was the only
land which was fit for farming:
purposes. w. r. Foster threshed
13 shocks of oats and secured
27h bushels. Alfred Anderson
and brother Ed. raised wheat
averaging from TX bu. to 20
bu. per acre. Their oats went
20 bu. and weighed like wheat.
A. Staxton threshed more than
1000 bu. of flax at his farm
from As acres. The machines
supposed that forming had no
grain and pulled by that place.
Finally Helbertson 4 Stibick
pulled in and it took them I
days to complete four Jobs.

TO the Farmers.

You have labored in the fields
during the pastsummer, andyou
are now threshing fine crops OF
grain, as the result Of those
labors. 1t is now important
that you should select an elevator
at which place to sell that grain,
which will give you the most
money for your grain, and one
which you are sure will gradeyou
honestly. l assure you that |
will try to the. best Of my ability
to do both. Come and see me
anyway before YOU sell.
