DEAR REGISTER As the next RrqiSier
vii! contain the proceedings Of the Peo-
pies Convention Of the 24th, it will be
. unnecessary for me to go into particulars
regarding it. Suffice to say, that the
attendance was large, the proceedings
harmonious, and the result satisfactory TO
Dakotans, buta death blow to the officials.
The enthusiasm displayed when the
ballots showed that Gen Todd was the
favored candidate, ana the choice Of the
people, was intense, and especially graft
flying to those who had imagined that the
absence Of the General might cause his
old friends to forget him.
The result proved that however much
the officials may seek to corrupt and bride
a few unpriucpled men, still there was a
. latent uudercurrent in favor of the man
who had been proved, and found not want
ing. Official corruption is mighty, but
honesty and integrity are mightier.
The candidate for Territorial Auditor,
Hon. H. S. kELLEY, although compare
lively a new conner in the Territory, is n
gentleman of fine abilities and attain
meuts, and will undoubtedly give good
account Of himself, when he is elected.
Mr.. lRlsH, the nominee for Territorial
Treasurer, is so well known to old settlers
az to render any comments unnecessary.
The intelligence Of the nomination Of
Gen. ToDD was received hereby the
Jayneites-as the death khell to their
hopes -they surprising that Slscord and
