pEMocRATlc DESPERATION.

----- FAC 4 81
The desperate efforts OF tine sup
porters OF Governor Burke to secure
his reelection was once more shown
in tho attempt to have the Methodist
conference endorse the governor.
Burke and his supporters overlook no
bets: Congregational meetings, Meth
odist conferences and state w. C. T. U.
sessions all look alike to them. There
is nothing sacred to their political
touch.
This last effort Of the Burke shout
ers. however. ran up against a snag.
The good Methodist parsons are too
conservative to pull political chestnuts
out of the fire and the resolution which
sought to endorse Burke-by name
was turned down, and instead one was
adopted giving general endorsement to
all oflcials Of the state. counties and
towns, who were making an effort to
enforce the law. r
The attempt to hoodwink the Meth
odists shows the extreme desperation
Of the Burke crowd. It's the last kick
of a defeated cause and North Dakota
will have for it's next governor C. A.
Johnson Of Minot--a man who will
make a dignified executive-an official
who will not seek place through any
but legitimate channels.

cAss COUNTY REPUBLICANS.

With a strong state, county and
legislative ticket, Cass county repub-
licans are in better shape this year
than in many former campaigns.
There is no weak spot. The three
tickets are composed of men whom
the voters can conscientiously sup
port for Office. There is no internal
scrap among the republicans of this
county. They are united and har-
monious-and are in a position to pile
up huge majority for every nominee
from the Taft presidential electors
down to the constables. For many
years Cass has taken a prominent
position as one Of the leading repub-
lican strongholds of the state and this
year will prove no exception. 1t
should pile up the largest republican
majorft- of any county in the stare.
Democrats should be shown they
need not hope for republican votes.

The administrator Of President
Harrison was particularly notable in
political effect because of the admis-
sion during his term Of many new
states In the union. In 1889 four ter
ritories, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington applied to
congress for state rights and received
them The following year two other
territories. Idaho and Wyoming, we're
also admitted to the Union Thus there
were six more state participating In
the election of 1892 than participated
in 1888.
1t Is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Harrison was the GEN.
tennial president OF the United States.
In other words, his administration
marked the one hundredth anniversary
of the foundation Of constitutional
government in the United States.
The presidential contest OF 1892 was
fought out on substantially the same
issue and between the same candidates
as were involved In the fight of 1883.
President Harrison had proved to be
an able and conscientious executive,
but not popular leader. His person
ality was such that he failed to attract
men to his support, as did Blaine and
some of the other republican leaders.
To. all except small coterie Of init
mate friends be appeared almost UNI
courteous and Indifferent. Neverthe-
less, it would have seemed confess
sion of weakness in, republican prin-
ciples to have dropped Mr. Harrison at
the end Of his firm term in view of
the fact that practically the same prin-
ciples were involved now as four years
before.
In February, 1882, James G. Blaine
had written a letter. to the chairman
of the national republican committee
announcing he would not under any
circumstances be a candidate for the
presidency There can be little doubt
of his sincerity, for he was growing
old, was crushed by domestic bereave-
ment and was in falling health. New
ertheless, there were many who pre-
ferred Blaine to Harrison, When the
convention met at Minneapolis on
June 4, Mr.. Blaine's name was pre-
scented, although he afterward declared
the presentation to have been without
his authority. ItiWas too late, how
ever, to bring about his nomination
and Harrison won on the first ballot,
although Blaine, received 1S2 votes.
Whitelawl Reid. editor Of The New
York Tribune, was. Nominated for vice
president.
The democratic convention met at
Chicago June 81 and nominated ex-
President Cleveland for first place and
Adlai Stephenson of Illinois for vice
president. Considerable opposition to
Cleveland's nomination was manifested

OF the vote of the convention, none OF

The peoples party. which had been
able TO elect several members OF con-
gress In 1890 and which had spread
rapidly over the south and west, now
held it's first national convention at
Omaha. July 2, and nominated Gen.
James B. Weaver Of Iowa for president
and James G.. Field OF Virginia for
vice president.
The socialist labor party nominated
Simon Wing OF Massachusetts for
president, while the prohiibtionists
named John Bidwel1 to lead their for
lorn hope.
The campaign was not characterized
by any extraordinary incident. There
was vigorous general discussion Of
the questions involved hut the chief
issue turned out to be the tariff in
stead of the money question. The
most serious trouble which occurred to
plague the republicans during the
campaign was the strike of the en-
ployes Of the Carnegie Steel Co. at
Homestead, Pa. on account Of a reduc
ton In wages. In the course of the
dispute the company hired a force
of detectives to protect employees who
wished to return to work. While these
detectives were approaching the plant
they were fred upon by the strikers
and battle eIisued in which twenty
men were. killed and many wounded.
Try as hard as they could the republi-
cans could not disconnect to the COM
plete satisfaction Of the popular mind.
the ultimate causes of this outbreak
between capital and labor from the eff
fects of the republican tariff law.
Whatever may have been the cause
Cleveland was elected by a large ma
jority. He carried the solid south and
also California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, New
York and wisconsin. The democrats
were also able TO secure fiva votes Ia
Michigan, In consequence Of q law
passed by the democratic legislature
In 1891 providing for the choice of
presidential electors by districts rather
than by general ticket. Cleveland's
total number of electoral votes was
277 as against 145 for Harrison. His,
minority OF Ito in the election oyer.
1888 was turned to majority over
Harrison OF 1872. Both houses OF con-
gress now had democratic majorities.
and for the first time. in thirty two
years the democrats had full control
Of both the executive and legislative
departments OF the government.
