Two Dotiars a YEAR * |A TAME CONVENTION Republicans of the Fifty-Second Dis- trict Name Two Legislative Can- didates. ; AITKIN COUNTY TURNED DOWN Hon. 0. N. Mausten Has Determined to Become an Independent Candi- date and Will Enter the Cam- paign at Once With His Old Time Vigor. The Republicans of the Fifty -second legislative district are badly mixed up and much disgruntled as a result of the convention held here yesterday. From the time of the arrival of the Aitkin county delegation Thursday noon conferences and counter con- ferences were held incessantly until four o’clock yesterday when the con- vention was called to order by Chair- man A. G. Bernard of Cass county. Aitkin, Cass and Carlton counties had candidates to present and the fight was one interesting one from the start. F. M. Shook carried the Aitkin coun- ty primaries over O. N. Mausten, the present representative by a vote of 25 to 26. The Aitkin delegafion came to Grand Rapids with the avowed inten- tion of nominating Mr. Shook. The Cass county boys were instructed for Ed. Ryan. Carlton came up with W. H. Noyes, of Barnum as their prefer- ence. Several . different agreements were arrived at and slates were made and broken with much _ regulation. Finally Carlton and Cass got together with seven votes each.’ That wis a majority and Noyes and. Ryan |were named in the convention, The kin crowd were thoroughly disgi with their treatment and did not wait for the convention, but took the | 2:52 p.m. train for home. Ole Mahsten was on the ground and the result of his fine work was quite conspicttyus Very naturally, he felt that he should be given a second term. Mr. Maus- ten had made a very able representa- tive, and there was no reason why he should be turned down, except that Mr. Shook wanted the honors and emoluments of the office. ‘The con- vention was called to order aljout 4:15 in the afternoon by chairman A. G. Bernard of Cass Lake. H.S. Huson was chosen temporary chat/man, and Fred Vibert, of Carlton cqunty was made secretary. The temporary or- ganization was made permanent, Committees on resolitions, cre- dentials and rules of es were ap- pointed, and after the seports had been made, Editor Vibert of the Clo- quet Pine Knot placed fhe name of W. H. Noyes before the |convention. Ed. Ryan’s name was plated in nomi- nation by Editor A. G, Bernard of Cass Lake, and M. A, Yancey of Grand Rapids talked in behalf of O. .N. Mausten of Aitkin. poh and Carlton both voted for the gentlemen named from their counties/ and that settled it. Mr. Yancey withdrew the name of Mausten. There fwas no ap- parent enthusiasm, not) even the names of McKinley and Van Sant eliciting any applause, Delegate George Reiddel, of Carlton, fsang one song,” which caused not a jittle meri- ment. In the cail of countes, Aitkin and Itasca failed to respoy#l, O. N. Mausten will go on the tifket by pe- tition with a good show/of winning out. He is a strong carfpaigner, and has a wide acquaintang throughout the district. Following are the reso- lutions adopted: We, the Republicarp of the 52nd, legislative district, in/convention as- sembled, do hereby jfedge our alert- ing alliance to the Republican party and its principles as/enunciated at the National Republidn convention at Philadelphia, and fledge our united support to the re-gection of that noble patriot‘and brilli/nt statesman, W:a. McKinley, and yo less distinguished gentleman, Thefdore-Roosevelt, We are proud of th position assumed by these candidat and believe that! ther election mean} continued prosperity to the country and the Metis. A of the honor fnd dignity of the Ameri cen flag whjrever it is hoisted or der whateve/ clime it floats. = e! We hail with pleasure the nomina- tion as Republican standard bearer, Hon. S, R. Van Sant. And his col- leagues on the State ticket, and we believe their nomination means elec- ted as certain as election day comes and we willdo ali that hes in our power to secure their election. Minnesota has every reason to be proud of its United States senators, who have not only brought credit to the state, but honor to the nation. We therefore instruct the candidates nominated at this convention to vote only for the re-election of Hon. Knute Nelson for United States sena- tor. We recognize the ability, patriotism and usefulness of our present repre- sentative in congress, Hon. Page Morris, and herewith express our ap- probation of his course in congress during the two terms and pledge our- selves to use all legitimate methods to secure his re-election. We pledge our undivided and unanimous support to the nominees of this convention, and believe their candidacy will add largely to the suc- cess of the Republican party in this district. A. G, BERNARD. J. FJ. accrr. M. MANsTEN. TO BUILD NORTHWARD. Report That the Great Northern Will Be Built to Red Lake, It. is no longer a secret vhat Presid- ent James J. Hill, of the Great North- ern road, contemplates tapping the rich country to the northwest with an extension of the northern division of the Eastern Minnesota, says the Duluth News Tribune. While it is not likely that positive confirmation of the report can be had from the officials of the road or from Mr. Hill for some tinie, it is learned upon the best of authority that it is Mr. Hilks parpose to immediately con- tinue the line of the Eastern Minne- sota from Deer River to the northern extremity of Red lake. This decision is occasioned no doubt by reason of the fact that the Northern Pacific is now extending its lines north from Bemidji to the same territory, from which great resu'ts have been anti- cipated. The point sought by Mr. Hill so far as known at the present time, is 60 miles north and 30 miles to the west of Deer River. How much farther the line will ultimately be extended isa matter of conjecture. It is as- serted in some quarters that the long- looked for line from Duluth to Win- nipeg may develop from the project in hand and this is given color by the fact that the lines laid out in the old right of way established by W. H. Fisher, of the old Duluth & Winnipeg railroad are to be followed very close- ly in making the extension in ques- tion. In this event the line would of necessity pass throug the Red Lake reservation which contains soil sus- ceptible of cultivation than which none better exists in the Northwest. Aside from this there is an 1mmense amount of pine timber which at the present time it is impossible to utilize to good advantage. In short the character of the country is such that its penetration at some future .day would bring rich returns to the road enterprising enough to complete the project. It is generally conceded that had the promoters of the old Duluth & Winnipeg been successful in com- pleting their lineit would have made many a Duluthian as well as a num- ber of outsiders immensely wealthy. The country through which runs the right of way of the old Duluth & Winnipeg is in large measure practi- cally undeveloped and in a few years, with a line of raijroad running through it would be built up with na- imerous towns which would convert the north central purtion of Minueso- ta into one of the most thriving !umb- ering and farming communities in the country For Sale.

The Herald has received the follow- ing communication with a request for an early answer to , the questions contained therein: “During a rather animated discussion on the political issues of ths day, the undersign- ed made three assertions which were very vigorously denied by a party of five gentle- men who were interested in the debate to the extent that the votes of the five men depead- ed upon the truth or falsity of my assertion, and we ask The Herald to decide the question for us. “The first assertion was that the mints of, the United States are coining silver money at the ratio of 16 to 1. “Assertion No. 2 was that any corporation or individual forwarding $500 in gold of greenbacks to the United States treasury at’ Washington would receive in return $500 worth of silver coin, same being coined in the United States mints, and that the government would pay the express charges on same to its destination, “Assertion No. 3, that the present adminis- tration has practically given over to the English: government a tract of land in Alaska purchased by the United States gov- ernment from Russia, and that said land was ceded to British government by Secretary Hay, and that the said tract of lan@ was never under the Pritish flag, my meaning be- ing that it always had been either Russian or American territory. “The five gentlemen who were interested in the controversy did intend to vote for Mr. McKinley. but have each and -all agreed to vote for Mr. Bryan should my assertions be true.” The gentleman who made these as- sertions is correct as to the first two, and his third statement is practically correct. The United States mints are Coin- ing silver money at the ratio of 16 to 1. They are coining silver dollars under the authority of an act passed by a Republican congress, and signed by President Mckinley on Jan. 13, 1898. The silver dollars are being coined at the ratio of 16 to 1, because that is the legal ratio. From March, 1898, to June, 1990, the government coined 52,177,824 silver dollars. From March 1to June 30 of the present year the mints. turned out 9,578.512 silver dollars, coined at the ratio of 16 tol. It is true, as claimed by the writer of the above letter, that the govern- ment will send $500 worth of silver coin to any address on receipt of $500 in gold or greenbacks, and the govern- ment. will pay the express charges on the silver to its destination. Secretary, Hay has not ‘“‘ceded’’ to the English government any part of Alaska, because a permanent cession of territory cannot be made by him without the expressly given authori- ty of congress, but he has gone as far as possible in that direction by enter- ing intoa modus vivendi with the British government by the terms of which a new “povisional boundary” is established between Alaska and the British possessions. It is estimated that this change of line agreed to by Mr. Hay gives away about 1500 squre miles of American territory. The land thus “temporarily” given to Great Britain includes the Porcupine mining district, where there is con- siderable gold, which is supposed to be the reason why the Canadians were so clamorous forit. Yet there is no room for doubt about this territory being a part of Alaska, “purchased from Russia. The boundary line has been heretofore where it was when the territory was bought, and had been for generations before. All the maps showed it so, and as late as 1897 an atlas gotten out by the London Times had the boundary line down according to the claim hitherto made by America—and scarcely disputed. The territory now yielded was never under the British flag before. While technically the concession is only temporary, every one knows that when this strip of territory is thus yielded, it will be much more difficult to get it back th&n it would have been to keep it in the first place. Mr. Hay’s action has been severely condemned by leading Republican journals. In view of these facts, The Herald believes that the five gentlemen in- terested in the controversy are, by the terms of their agreement, in honor bound to vote for Mr. Bryan, as the three assertions are true Philippine Death List. A Washington dispatch yesterday” contained another installment of the serial story entitled ‘“Ihe Philippine Death List.’? It is of the usual length, containing the names of twenty-nine American young men sacrificed upou the altar of imperialism. Some died of dysentery, some of typhoid fever, some of pneumonia, some of malarial fever, one of small pox,one of splenetis, one was killed by a comrade, one was killed by a native prisoner and an- other was murdered. The previous report, published on Aug. 29; hardly a week previous, con- tained thirty-three names, some of whom died of wounds, although we have been assured that the islands are pacified and that there is no war. ‘To what end have these/American boys died?

Jack- ell and John Jenswold, Populist Com- mittee on notification. zi GENTLEMEN:—Allow me to express to*you, and through you to the mem- bers of the Populist party of the sixth congressional district, my Sincere thanks for the honor conferred in the nomination of congressman of the sixth congressional district of the State of Minnesota. You have again given evidence of your loyalty tothe principles for which ‘we are contend- ing; in going outside of your own par- ty to select a candidate for the re- sponsible office of Congressman, in a district larger-than aay other district in the United States, with its impor- tant interests comprising the various pursuits of husbandry, which is con- clusive evidence that you regard the ptincipies higher than party. This is equally true of all the fusion forces who are closely bound together in common brotherhood for the uphold- ing of the Declaration of Independ- ence and the Constitution of our country, combating against the im- perealistic tendencies of the present administration, with its sacrifice of lives of our sons and brothers, whe are now engaged in a war of conquest against a people who have ‘Never harmed usin the past, but who are fighting for their freedom, and ‘who love the country of their birth, with the same devotion as did thuse patri- ots who signed the Declaration of In- dependence, pledging their lives, and treasures for upholding of the new adopted doctrine, but a doctrine dat- ing back to the creation of man; that all men are born free and equal, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the yov- erned. For this great doctrine, the Fusion forces are contending this fall, and I have faith in the Ameri- can people that they will never allow the Declaration of Independence to be amended, and will.insist that the Constitution shall follow the flag and that wherever the dear old Stars and Stripes may float, there shall reign supreme freedom, liberty and justice, and. those who live under the Stars and Stripes shall not lock up to it with hatred and contempt, but with love and admiration. In conclusion, allow me to state that Iam in thor- ough harmony with the platforms adopted »by the Fusion forces, and when elected, and entering upon the discharge of my duties, 1 shall doall in my power to check the evil tén- dencies of the present administra- tion, and carry out the promises upon which we come before the people for their support. The greatest good to the greatest number has always been my motto in the past. and will re- main the same in the future. Again thanking you for the honor confer- red upon me, I remain, Very Truly Yours, HENRY TRUELSEN DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION AND PRIMARIES.
