Special to The Evening" Tines.
Minot, June 2S.-The cloven foot of
the insurgent party is being wildly
revealed by it's movements since the
primary election. Not content with
having used all kinds Of means to
bring about the defeat of the regular
republican organization of this state.
the leaders of the insurrectionist party
have resorted to system of political
bush-Whacking, which will unQues-
tionably reduce the instigators of the
movement to the lowest level of
political corruption.
Having been deserted by two-thirds
OF the voters of this county, Captain"
Spalding, assisted by his aggregation of
aide-camps are now engaged in maxi
ing the last fight against loyal re-
publicans of this state. So desperate
has become their disgraceful cause.
that it has become necessary, in order
to keep alive the fame of treachery.
to send emmisaries to the different
counties of the state who are to operate
in the capacity of walking delegates,
This army of agitators are expected
to go from place to place and tell
the people that they have been defraud-
ed and that the primary election was
not conducted according to law. They
even have gone 80 far as to question
the validity Of the primary election in
this county which rolled up a most
magnificent majority for the regular
republican ticket. And we will now
discuss in brief way the object that
has actuated this newborn insur-
rection which threatens the harmony
and well earned success of the re-
publican party at the jamestown con-
vention. 1t would be the heighth of
folly for any intelligent voter to as
sumo for one movement that the
insurgents will have enough votes in
the jamestown convention to make a
body guard for the representatives of
the regular state ticket The insur-
gents know that they are in the hope
less minority and yet this fact does
| not seem to deprive them of an op-
| portunity to lay foundation for a
| bolt in the convention. Actuated by
selfish motives and irreprsssible greed
for Office. the leaders of the insur-
| gent wing of the party in power have
conceived the idea that should they
effect a division in the state conven-
ton that they will be able, with the
assistance of democratic votes, to Sc
cure the over throw of the republican
party. George B. Winship of the Grand
Forks Herald has assumed, according
to the latest reports, the attitude of a
political gorilla. For years he has
labored to weaken the party for nc
other reason than that the party al
one time very wisely repudidated his
claim for the nomination of governor
in the state convention.
The old adage that the man who
trys to sit on two stools at the same
time is liable to fall between, reflects
the position that Mr.. Winship and his
friend Spalding will occupy when the
votes are counted November next.
Referring to the local situation in
Ward county, it is to the credit OF
Joe Devine, Major Murphy, NJ s..
Williams, and other prominent in
surgent leaders to say that they have
publically announced their, intentions
to abide by the result and lend their
support to the nominees of the regular
republican ticket. @
1t is an open, secret that the fight
made against the regular republican
organization in this county was in.
augurated by class of men who are
openly opposed to senator Hansbrough
| This was known to the leaders of the
stalwart faction and the result oh.
tanned shows that Ward county is moi
SO much anti-Hansbrough as those
who have figured as his opponents
