TOO MUCH FOR JEWELL.

Bismarck Tribune The fulsome,
Esickening, fawning character Of nuiner-
Gus paragraphs appearing in few
North Dakota papers may not result
in the defeat Of Hon. f. 81. Sarles at
Grand Forks, but his success will be
in spite of, and not because of, the
sycopHantical efforts Of 4 few foolish
friends. Not only Ii the standard and
dignity Of the press lowered but the
sensitive, exalted feeling Of a plain
North Dakota gentleman are hnnliliat-
ed BY such unprofessional journalism.
