GRAND Forks, D. T., Sept. 6.-The dele
gates all arrived yesterday and caucusing
at once commenced by friends of Hand,
Pettigrew and Raymond. 1t was found
that entire north Dakota was straight for
Raymond, and the delegations of south
Dakota divided up between Hand, Petit
grew, Hughes and McMasters, and no
possibility of doing anything without the
aid of the northern portion, which stands
solid and unbroken for the man upon
whom they have agreed, John B. Raymond,
of Fargo. The convention was called to
order at noon to-day by Chairman Walsh.
W. L. Ball. OF Fargo, was made temporary
chairman, and VIM. Z. Burk, of James
town, secretary. The only business done
was to appoint committee on credentials
consisting of nine, five of whom are north
Dakota men, two Pettigrew and two Hand
men. Adjourned until 3 in the afternoon.
The convention reassembled at the speci-
fed time. The committee on credentials
was not ready to report and the conven-
ton adjourned until in the evening.
10 p. m-Everything is quiet now, and
the delegates are scattered over the city.
The convention reassembled at o'clock
this evening and the credentials commit
tee not being ready to report adjourned
till nine tomorrow morning. So far but
one county. has been acted upon, that of
Aurora, with three delegates, which was
thrown out entirely. A rumor was circu-
lated all day that Pettigrew would with
draw in favor of Raymond to beat Hand
The credentials committee is hard at work
with closed doors, and it is said will not be
ready to report until tomorrow evening.
Hand, Pettigrew, Gov. Ordway, Captain
Hughes and McMasters are here, while
Raymod remains in Fargo The prob
abilities are that Raymond will get the
nomination, as north Dakota is united on
him, while the south is all split up

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. Collection re-
turns come in slowly beyond precedent
much less than half the state having been
heard from. Returns indicate a Repub

been heard from. Less than half of these

there is no choice, which will necessitate 6
second election. In the First district
Stewart is elected by 10000 majority.
