activities unique In many respects.
From the day LANCER, on a hospi.

took the oath Of office as North Da-

target for attack not only by political
foes. but later by many who had as
sisted in electing him.
Brought to head during the year
was the split between the governor
and state officers elected With him in

election In November, 1892, with the
factions executive committee leading

state officers are now pledged to re-
