AURORA couHry's PART
In the Convention which Slaughtered Pet
tigrew at Grand Forks.

In the Convention which Slaughtered Pet
tigrew at Grand Forks.
Plankinton Star.
In every calling and in every commu-
nifty there is a reasonable standard of fair.
ness and truthfulnes that is established
by common consent and to which every.
body, even politicians and journalists,
are expected to measurably approximate.
We are sorry to find ip the "Busted"
dodger issued last Saturday from the
Standard Office q notable instance of
failure in these particulars. The com.
mittee on credentials ut the Grand Forks
convention was composed of five north
Dakota men and four from south Da.
kota. Of the south Dakota
men two were selected by the
Pettigrew faction and two by the anti
Pettigrew faction. This was agreed to
by all parties aud the committee thus
formed was constituted board of arbi-
tratiOn to determine who were entitled
to seats in the convention. The COM
mittee after careful investigation and
hearing the arguments upon both sides
excluded the Pettigrew delegations from
nearly all the contested counties, among
them Aurora, which was the first county
passed upon. This action as to Aurora
county occurred on Wednesday evening
and from that time until about the mid.
die OF the forenoon on Friday the Petit.
grew delegation from this county kept
the air of Grand Forks blue
with tho smoke of their rage and
disappointment. They were among the
first persons who were advised of the &C
tion of the committee, and in converse.
tion with the writer hereof, that same
evening, were not at all backward in de-
nouncing it.
Seeing that his own defeat was certain
Pettigrew and his friends bartered away
to north Dakota the interests of the
south half of the territory and entered
into compact whereby John B. Ray
mond was to be nominated. This bar
gain was completed during the forenoon
of Friday, and the consideration for il
on Pettigrew's side was the ignoring o
the committee on credentials, the admis
sion of the Pettigrew delegations
from the contested counties and the priv
ilege OF naming the south Dakota mem
bers of the central committee for the en-
suing two years. This consolidation o
the Pettigrew and north Dakota taction
gave them control of the convention
and of course the agreement was carrie,
out and Pettigrew was laid out.
These ale the naked facts, and if Nj
Pettigrew's friends in Aurora count
find in them anv room for congratula
tions and fireworks, let them bring o
the powder. However this may be, ther
is no Disgusting the fact that grea
many republicans in Aurora county ma
receive wholesome lesson from the &C
tiOn of the convention, altogether.

Sypher, along with communication
from Sypher himself, IN which he. as the

speaks an early consideration by the

Of the recent arrest of George, and the
annoyances he was subjected to in spite
OF his statement that he was an American
citizen Of public character, living upon
nlawful business. The charge against
him was OF associating with suspicious
persons. George claims that his case is
not an isolated one, and that many
Americans have been subjected to similar
and worse indignities merely because
they were Americans.

the queens proclamation of the export
of ebony and other valuable goods to
this and other countries. The local

American captains, raised small army
which was sent from the capital into the

REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Something About the Business Done In
Dakota.

Fargo Argus Interview.
Ex-Governor John u. Pennington, col
lector of internal revenue for Dakota, in
company with Mrs. Pennington yester-
day returned from Winnipeg, where they
went from Grand Forks on Saturday
last. The governor looks in excellent
health, and is in good spirits. The Argus,
ever on the alert to gain some new
information, called upon him aud he
readily submitted to an interview regard
ing the revenue department and politi-
cal outlook generally.
Governor, how are the internal revenue
receipts now? Increasing much in Da-
kota?
Yes, the receipts are increasing very
rapidly, more SO than ever before. For the
fiscal year ending June Both, 1878, the re.
ceipts were about $4,000; for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1881, the receipts
were something like S4S,00O; for the fiscal
yeer ending June 80, 1882, the receipts
were over $67, 900, which consider a big
jump. In July, the first month of the
present fiscal year the increase was nearly
fifty per cent. Before l left home, the
first day of the month, the bookkeepel
Informed me that the receipts for August
would be increased about fifty per cent
over the same month of last year. I es.
innate the receipts for the present year
at $85,0O0 TO 100000. Now, it you had
the report you would see that the receipts
of last year were larger than those OF
Vermont or Nevada, and possibly two OF
three other states. In the matter of di
vision and admission it would be valu.
able argument, because We could show
that the government derives more reve
nue. from the territory of Dakota thar
the increase is more rapid than that o.
any other state or territory.
How many deputies have you?
The force consists of a collector ant
four deputies, one at Yankton, one Al
Deadwood, one at Bismarck, and one a
Huron, and an Office clerk. At the pres
ent ratio of increase shall soon b,
obliged to ask Tor another deputy fol
north Dakota.
What section of the territory exhibits
the largest increase?
Though south Dakota man am
compelled to say that the largest increas,
Of receipts is in north Dakota, and es
pecially in the Red River valley. In al
of south and central Dakota the increas.
is very marked, in fact the receipts ar,
constantly increasing east of the Nilsson
ri river. In the Black Hills for the las
two years there has been falling of
caused by stampede to the other min
ing sections, but from now forward WI
may expect more healthy increase. a!
