demonstrated that North Dakota politi-

caueus, vet the prevailing sentime mt in
south Dakota is for Blaine. North Dako-

der his colors they scooped the convsn-
,ion. 1t was just this much Of scoop
that south Dakota went into the conven-
ton with majority of the delegates, and
u acting harmoniously they could of
course lad every thing, but north Dakota
oot two men and dictated who the men
from the south should be. 1t is consid-
cred an Ordway victory by all. When the
convention met, two secretaries and two
ebairmen, the latter Mr.. King, of the
Chamberlain Register, and Mr.. Plummer,
of the Fargo Republican, contended for
the organization amid great excitement.
Mr.. Scoby secured silence for few min
utes by calling for prayer, but as soon as
this was over the din began afresh. Final
Nv John King offered to submit TO the vote
of the convention and was at once placed
in the chair. After this, however, North
Dakota held sway, placing Col. Plummer
in the chair, on permanC mt organization
and appointing Nels Nelson, of Pembina,
and Mr.. Wallace, Of jamestown, delegate
and alternate for North, Col. Jolly, of Yer
million, and Mr.. Perry, of Brookings, del
egate and alternate for South Dakota, with
strong instructions for Blaine.
