Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1883-1884, 1884-04-04

---------------- --------------
PRlL 4, 1884.
j. w. BANBURY is responsible for the
good things that appear in the new, rip
snorting, lively Sunday Morning News,
OF Lisbon.
THINGS are decidedly warm III mu-
nicipal affairs at Fargo, and the mayor
ality fight is between WA. Yerxa and
w. A. Kindred. AS contributor to
the expense fund Of that city the Courier
sincerely hopes to see MIR. Yerxa his
own successor.
1T is thought that the evident pllr-
pose not to admit state from Dakota
this session will aid the passage OF the
judicial bill, as the state matter was the
only objection urged to the increase of !
Judges. Delegate Raymond is confident
the judicial bill will be passed.
AND now comes the news that chain. !
lightning Herbert S. Harcourt has as
sumed management OF the Fargo Broad
axe. That already illustrious sheet is
evidently determined to outshine all of
its northwestern contemporaries. The
Broadaxe is to be congratulated OH SO
important all acquisition to it's staff.
The Courier Is under obligations to
General Passenger Agent ClElS. s. Fee
for a beautifully executed, elaborately
illustrated and concisely compiled little
work OH The Wonderland of the
World" 1t is a bright and interesting
description of the entire Northern Pa
ciiic country and will prove of special
value to the tourists who go over the
line this season, as it contains a rich
fund of information and will serve eX-
cellently as a guide book. The North
ern Pacific management liaye at last
secured the right man to assume the
head of the passenger department, for
during his brief administration MIR. Fee
. has not only made much progress for
the road, but many friends.
The Courier for some time has had in
view its preference for delegate to the
, national convention to represent North
Dakota, but being desirous of not ap-
pearing too previous has thus far re-
Trained from mentioning the choice.
However, as the Hope Pioneer has hit
upon our candidate we take pleasure in
4 follows:
L ''1n view of the sending of Territorial
9 delegates to the National Republican
nominating convention to be held in
5 Chicago on the Sd of June next, we think
} it advisable to begin at as early date as
g possible to look around and canvass
> among our men of worth and character
for one whom we know is fitted in every
8 respect to represent our interests at said
3 convention. Let it be man who has
been tried as a public official, and who
has, in such capacity, proved himself
worthy of the confidence of the people
and OF the trust they have reposed in
him. A man who is fearless in the dis
= charge of his duty, who is gifted with
; sound judgement and that most requis-
3 ite OF all gifts-cOmmon sense. Un-
doubtedly there are many such men in
this Territory. but not all have been
j tried and found to stand the test There
9 is one who has served the people long
$ and faithfully as public officer-one
, who is calculated to inspire respect and
! command obedience, whose influence
8 would be felt wherever exerted. Such
8 an one is John f. Haggart, of Fargo,
the present sheriff of Cass county. Mr..
Haggart has the confidence of every cit
: iZen of Cass county, and is we'll known
3 and highly esteemed throughout the
, territory. AS a public officer he has
few equals; as a shrewd business man
r his advice is often sought. He is we'll
acquainted with the territory and the
needs of it's people. He is man who,
, when he speaks, speaks to the point and
3 with reason. We do not know of man
who is more capable of representing us
or whose choice would meet with more
3 unanimous approval, and we hope the
delegates to the Territorial Republican
: convention will see to it that John E.
! Haggart, provided he will accept, is one
: of the two delegates sent to the National
Republican convention to represent the
people of this very important Territory" $"
