II i very generally conceded that
Gov. Ordway Of Dakota will NOT be re-
pPomtedi on the expiration Of his term,
the latter part Of May. Mr.. Orddw sgay,
does not seem to be pressing hisi case
very Wig orously, and it is said that the
president has intimated that his mind
has already been made up to appoint
somet one else. He informed the com
mittee, consisting u Judges Edmunds
and Moody and one or two; other Dako-
ito gentlemen swh waited on him last
Saturday with q protest against Ord
way's reappo tment, that he has made
up his mind what he intended to do, and
by his N manner they interpreted
this remark to mean that
Dakota was to be relieved of Ordways
administr ration The cessor-ship is
now o matter Of comment among OAK
ota people here, l1Among; the stories
calculated are chat Pat Donan Of Fargo
is one Of the candid dates. 1t is said that
|if he could produce sufficient strength
insD Dakota to5justif il, he would receive
the support Of at least one state delega-
| lion, MR. D onan,s gcand idacy, there
fore, will depend upon the amount Of
strength he can develop in the Territory.
The antis Ordway people are trying to
boom Teller, the brother Of The
Secretary fsthe int hrior, and the pres
ent score of tthes territory, but his
candidacy will present such compiler
lions and smbaF ssments thatit Is very
likely that twill not be pressed. Other
