II IS believed that President Cleveland viii
recognize the platform Of the party in making
I appointments from the territories, which
I Arthur has not done.
II is stated that after the LIST OF January
there viii be ffreen or sixteen counties in
I south Dakota in which no licenses 10 sell
liquor Will he granted
On the 18th there is to be \ mortgage sale
Of most OF the material Of the Rsp'StIieDs
I Office, and it is probable some change in the
management may ensue.
The Fargo Daily Ds,aoerat seems positively
ment Of Ed. Hall it is becoming worthy the
support OF the Democracy, and they should

The Minor PrcSs claims that fully fifty
/ per cent OF the population Of that section
! are voters. The other towns allege that
more than 100 per cent. OF the residents
voted on the county seat question.
Competition between rival towns in Brule
county has become so intense a. to stir up
much bad feeling. At Kimbail the dealers
have been retailing coal oil at thirteen cents,
and many other things in proportion.
The Democratic territorial central com

The Huron Times says. Quite large num-
Der Of citizens are arranging their business
and home affairs preparatory to visit to the
Worlds Cotton aud Industrial exposition at
/ New Orleans. Some will not return until
the preiries are blue with the harebeIls of

There is hardly anything of which young
men in Dakota towns are as proud as skill
and distinction upon roller skates. The
young editor Of the WahpetOn TinlS per-
/ forms seemingly impossible feats and pro-
vOkes amazement, and his wife last week
took the prize as the most graceful skater.
Numerous peripateties are flooding this
country with various infalible devices for
extinguishing fires, each Of which is the only
sure and reliable expedient. With wheat at
! fifty cents there is not very lively picking
for the Adventures and patent men who

The jamestown Capital gathers this project
from some source: 1t is now proposed to
call grand mass convention of delegates
from Washington, Idaho, New Mexico and

for calling territorial conventions ami 10
make a grand united charge on Democratic
house TO secure admission or death.
The retail lumber dealers association of
northern Minnesota and Dakota will have a
three days session at Fargo, commencing
| on December 9. The local dealers are ex-
pected to entertain them and furnish ban
/ Duet and perhaps ball. One of the bust
ness points before them will probably be 10
protest against Wholesale men doing a retail
| business.
The eastern papers contain an Associated
Press dispatch from St Paul reporting a
blood curdling affair at Portland, Trail
county, in which one man was killed and
another thrown by him into q threshing ma
| chine Just before expiring. The story was
| rumOred in Dakota about a month previous,
but there was not shadow Of foundation
for it.
Most Of the Fargo city papers are calling
for the suppression of class Of low variety
.heaters in that city. They are unusually
numerous for city of the population OF
Fargo. The better class of them are as well
conducted as are vaudeville houses in The
larger cities, and are visited by about all

Civilization was inaugurated at Dunseith
the past week by grand ball, probably the
first ever had in the Turtle mountains.
Parties came 20 it from St. Johns and Bot
tineau, twenty and thirty miles, and FORTY
mountain bellies gyrated to the strains of
fiddle and French horn. They were mostly
bruuettes and many Of them had the CARDS
of white people and we're good dancers and
attractive.
II is not expected that President Cleveland
will make any change in the governors
Office in Dakota for some months after his
Accession, but at the proper time there will
be strong effort of the party in the territory
to have Mr.. Wilson, the late candidate for
congress, selected for the position. He has
! all the requisites for the post, and is very
popular. The energy with which he made
the utterly hopeless canvass is thought 10
MERIT recognition.
The members Of the Democratic territorial
committee are arranging for a meeting TO be
held, probably in St. Paul, early in February,
to select deputatiOn Of representative Dem
ocrats TO visit Washington about the 4th of
March and assist President Cleveland in in
augurating his administration. Il is de-
sired to send only those who are not seeking
appointments. Those who are willing to 20
would do well to send their names to Hon.
VI. Kelleher at jamestown.
The Hamlin TINES has this weather and
game item: Beautiful weather aud wild
ducks, fine and fat, still bless the cline Of
Dakota, Notwithstanding the fact that the
month of December is rapidly coming 10 4
close Last Friday d. o. Parliament shot
eight and a half brace OF beautiful ducks 1t
seems that the game birds have also learned
that it is unwise to emigrate from Dakota
during the months Of winter.
The most recent suggestion in regard to
the state matter is for the legislature to pro-
vide for conventions to organize two states
in Dakota, fix up ali the machinery and have
the fun panoply of statehood ready to start
of like a locomotive when the lever is turned
at Washington, with senators chosen and
ready TO start 10 Washington at once, the
special feature to be that the senator for the
longest term, both in North and South Da-
kota, TO be Democrat from away backbone
always known to be Democrat. 1t is thought
