GOVERNOR ,oF DAKOTA
TON, June 27.-The president decided
to-day to 60 outside of Dakota and out
side OF the long and bitter quarrel which
has characterized the course of events in
Dakota for the past two years to select
governor. To day he sent to the senate
the name of Gilbert A. Pierce, one of
the editors Of the Chicago Daily News,
to be governor of Dakota. This was a
surprise to most people who have been
speculatlnlg upon the presidents selection.
The nomination of Mr.. Pierce, il is
thought, may give satisfaction to all con-
cerned save the friends of varions can
didates, and his nomination will doubt
less be confirmed by the senate without
opposition. Of course, it is said that his
nomination is made in recognition of
political services rendered, The Daily
News having been most active supporter
of Mr.. Arthur during the recent cam
paign. Mr.. Pierce is gentleman about
40 years OF age, with very good knowl-
edge OF Northwestern affairs.
