All those who have heretofore acted, or now
desire to affiliate, with the republican party of
Dakota, are cordially invited to meet in their re-
spective counties and select delegates to repre-
sent them in this convention.
The attention of republicans is called to the
necessity of nominating candidates for district
attorney in their respective districts. and as there
are no district committees, the territorial COM
mittee suggests that the delegates to this conven-
ton be authorized to appoint committees for
their respective districts, to call conventions for
this purpose.

sentiment against his denomination which

and unprejudiced delegation will be sent to
the convention from this county and there
the matter will be discussed and It's dele.
gates will cast sheir votes as the best inter.
ests Of the territory may dictate for a suc.
cessor to Judge Kidder.
From all these circumstances it is best
that the people do not rely implicitly upon
the proposition that Judge Kidder is the
coming man. The feeling that the territory
has honored him fully as much as he has hon.
ored the territory is every day gaining ground
and it no disparagement to either TO here
quote the axiom. That the convention will
refuse to nominate Judge Kidder we do no,
assert, but from a reliable knowledge of the
general situation we are Of the opinion that
he is not now the strongest man before tue
people.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR

Vsrmillion Republican: News from diff
erent portions of the Territory indicate that
we are to have the best fair this year ever
seen in Dakota. The farmers are beginning
to see the importance of a movement of this
kind and they are making such preparation
as will insure its success. Steps are being
taken by those having the matter in charge,
to put the grounds in first class order, agood
fence will be constructed around them, and
all necessary buildings will pc completed in
ample time. On the grounds now is one Of
the best race tracks in the Territory and our
horse men are determined to leave nothing
undone that will add 10 the efficiency Of
this important department of the fair.
Very liberal terms have been secured from
the railroad companies in the way of carry
ing passengers and products to and from the
fair, and our friends along its entire length
will not fail to avail themselves of the liber-
al offer when the time arrives.
Dakota was never in . better condition to
have q first class fair. While small grain
has suffered somewhat in some. localities,
still there is an abundance of number q
grain for exhibition. The country u is stunning
with vegetables Of . superior quality;

the national department of justice:
This decision while rot unexpected to
Judge Benefits friends in the Hills, will
be specially gratifying as settling definitely,
and as We hope, any further trouble and de.
lay, in the administration Of justice in our
courts by attempts at his removal. Those
who have been pressing and demanding his
removal should be content and satisfied to
let the matter drop as they have had an
ample and fair hearing aud the verdict OF
the people and the department of justice at
Washington has been against them.

The Minpebaba republican cotntv CO,

The Minnehaha republican co1nty con-
vention adopted the following:
Resolred, That it is the wish Of the PEG
pie of this county, expressed through their
delegates in convention assembled, that j.
P. Kidder be returned 10 congress as the
representative of the people ofthis territory,
vention be hereby instructed to use all hon.
the republican territorial convention.
The question, in the abstract. is, have the
members of q delegate convention the
authority t. instruct delegates of their own
making when they are not so directed by
the caucuses, which are the people? That
the resolution states 1t to be "the wish of
the people" that such instruction 60 forth
does not imply, in the absence of any ilrcc
tions from the caucuses. that it Is really the
wish of the people. All the people wished
the delegates to the county convention to
do was to create delegates to the territorial
convention. That duty performed their
functions were ended and any additional
action upon their part was clearly null and
void. A convention may resolve that thus
and so are "the wish of the people," but in
placing upon record such a resolution, un.
less it is so instructed by the people, it
goes beyond its capacity as a body and
usurping privileges not conferred upon it.
Thus the majority vote of a county convea.
ton may by the manipulatlons of a few
fasten upon the people questionable action
against which those people would strongly
protest were their wishes consulted. We
hold that instructions regarding the choice
Of the people should come from the aucuses
or not come at all.

K1DDER AS A CANDIDATE.

The Kidder wave has, in its turn, swept
over the territory and gone and mingled
itself with the swash and ooze of other
waves stranded along the gloomy shores of
the political sea. In its passage it seemed
to gather strength and volume and the
voices of those to whom nothing is so in.
spring as apparent success were lifted up
in alteration of the mar who rode upon its
crest. Every political wave has its day and
more or less fleeting enthusiasm is evoked
during the brief period of its transition.
So with this later aqueous excrescence
which bore the legend of "Kidder for con-
gress" and went murmuring over the land
after the fashion of pillows. Out of the K
element produced by the grand eliminating
efforts of Judge Kidder and his friends has
grown an exaggerated notion regarding his
strength as a candidate, and now that those
who have been up to their elbowsin the work
are resting from the undue mental
and physical strain placed upon them,
we deem it a duty to the people
to calmly survey the field and
point out the realities in the case. Popular
ity is an element of strength, and if it is the
genuine article its possessor is fully entitled
to all he can get out oft. But the species
which is lacking in this essential element
one which is the creation Of an enthusiasm
promoted andurged with deliberate purpose
by trained politicians-ls liable to react up
on the consciences of men, when sober
second thought supervenes, and cause them
to regret their lack of foresight. Through
a habit. many counties have sent delega.
tions instructed in favor of certain men. In
the list of instructed counties Judge Kid.
der can count twenty. five votes, and of this
number there are some who certainly will
not feel themselves bound 10 fulfill the un.
authorized instructions of the conventions
which sent them. But Judge Kiddcr
claims more than this. Upon his private
memoranda he has written down the u
ties of Union, Clay, Bon Homme, Lincoln.
M%innehaha, Moody and Burleigh-casting
an aggregate of fifty FIVE yotes-as his own.
and his friends announce that he has hopes
In other quarters. Lincoln, Bon Homme
and Union counties have not yet held their
conventions and there is more than a prob
ability that the latter two will elect Moody
delegates to the convention. This is no
mere guess. Every precinct and neiRhbor-
hood has been carefully canvassed and the
result is not at all favorable to Judge Kid.
der's chances. 1t therefore appears from
this that In making up his estimate Judge
Kidder is inducing the people to rely upon
figures which are not to be trusted. Our
information from Burleigh county does NOT
lead US 10 conclude that it, delegation is

THE LETTER H."

No letter in the alphabet has been SO
much abused and misrepresented by the
the English as the letter H. The following
petition from a volume entitled "The Wild
Garland" is an extremely clever presenta
ton of a few of the grievances of that un'
fortunate letter:
THE LITTER 'H's" PETITION.
Whereas I have by you been driven
From house, from home, from hope. from heaven,
And placed by your most learn'd society
In exile, anguish and anxiety,
And used without one Just pretense
With arrogance and inSOlence;
l here demand full restitution,
And beg you'll mend your elocution.
ANSWER.
Whereas we've rescued you, migrate,
From hdndcu.t. horror, and from hate,
From hell, from h0lsepond, and from halter,
And cOnSecrated You in altar,
And placed you aUhere you meier should be,
IN honor and tn honesty;
We deem your prayer a rude intrusion
And will not mend our elocutiOn.
