In charity let US 20 regard the members

The Herald very foollshly asserts that
John B. Raymond was nominated on the
twelfth ballot, but some of the counties
changed their votes. Jake Wineman,
who was the official teller in the interest
ct Raymond, says atno period during the
twelfth ballot did the Raymond vete hg-
ure up over ls4. It is perhaps . matter
Of little importance except - IN lndica-
tion Of the desperation of the Herald to

The enthusiastic reception Of Judge
Giffsrd, at every point he passed through
his honeward trip from Pierre, and the
wild enthusiasm In which he was received
on arriving at his home in Canton, il evi-
dence OF his extreme popularity among
tho people. The people O. Union 20.
who have known him for years, are more
than pleased with the nomination. He
will be elected by . majority ranging
from 10000 to 0,00O.-Unlsn County
Courier.
Governor Pierce Is greatly to be COM
mended for the deep interest he is taking
IN the Dakota exhibit to the New Orleans
epositlon. He has addressed the super
lntendents Of schools IN each county to
send him about 75O words before October
70, descriptive of the advantages, vacant
lands, ETC., of their county. This will be
compiled in pamphlet form for distrlbu.

A gentleman from Michigan, who has
spent few days visiting the wheat re-
glons of this section, - result Of his OBJ
servations expressed the opinion yesterday
that two bushels Of wheat could be raised
to one In his state, and the quality raised
there hardly brings more in the near mar
kets than the Dakota grower realizes at
his home. He thinks there will be COM
para,ively little wheat grown in the elder
sections another year, as there is no profit
IN the present prices, and other crops can
be produced at better advantage. He
pronounces this . grand country, and does
not think it can have any successful rival
on this continent in the great staple
Fargo Argus.
The board Of penitentlary commission
ers met at Bismarck, on Wednesday to
settle with the contractors. But little
more needs to be done to the building to
make it ready for the convicts now con-
fined at Sioux Falls, and who have been
sentenced from North Dakota, in all thir-
ty- Eve. The prison will accommodate
seventy-two prisoners. - Valley City

Judge Clifford was not nominated be.
cause of any antagonism Of the people Of
the north. The same spirit which has
formulated the almest universal senti.
ment in favor Of division and admission
gave rise to the denre for representa-
tive for the part msst interested in tho
vital issue. Judge Clifford received the
support of about third Of North Dakota,
without which his nomination wsuld
have been impossible. Mr.. Mckenzie,

spirit of fairness in conceding to South
