There was preliminary meeting OF
Democrats Tuesday night and arrange
ments made to call general meeting and
perfect thorough organization OF the
party in Fargo. No doubt there is quite
majority of Republicans in the city and
county, but it will oe found when there is
an occasion for showing hands that the
| number of Democrats is much greater
| than ever the best informed have sup
posed. The city attorney and nearly half
the city council are Democrats, though
not voted for with any regard to politics.
Rails for twenty seven miles of track of
the Fargo Southern we're shipped
from Chicago this week. There
have been other shipments, and

The delay caused by the kick of the st.

prevent the opening o. he line to Wahpe-
ton before spring PresidentHill of theMan-

Unless there l. moro interest manifested
in Fargo than roE seems probable, the

voting additional bouds for any purpose.

The first furry of excitement over the
reported gold finds in the vicinity Lisbon,
has subsidized, but the interest has not
lessened. There seems to be no doubt that
there has ibeen discovery of valuable
metals, bnt their extent and value are

those associated with hin are fully con-
