turns out, the fire companies parade. the
church bells ring, the bands of music
discourse sweet harmonies, and the In.
tellect, wealth, chivalry and beauty
OF the enterprising territory vie with
each other in doing homage to this good
and brave man. The press of Dakota is
especially enthusiastic in the reception
it extends to Governor Pierce; we have
watched the papers with much interest,
and We find that without exception they
treat the new executive with the most
distinguished consideration. Their edi-
torial tributes to Governor Pierce
are singular combinations OF elo.
quence and puffery, and all who
know Governor Pierce are highly
amused by the descriptions which the
Dakota journals print Of his personal ap.
pearance. The Fargo Journal says: HE

about forty-five years Of age, and oi

Prohibition seems to work more effec.
lively in Dakota than in Iowa. The
Union county board Of issioners
refused to grant licenses to sell liquor
and two defiant saloon men continued TO
sell 10 spite Of the prohib,tory act. They
were arrested, tried, convicted and fined,
one paying SAP and the other S489. The
two men were then placed under bonds,
under suspension of sentence in couple
of other cases against them, and it is
probable they will sin no more.

The Deadwood Times states that there
appears to be some conflict between
authorities as to where the terms of the
territorial supreme court are to be held.
The organic act specifies that one term
shall be held annually at the capital and
the territorial statutes specify that two
terms shall be held annually at Yankton.
That is clear euough-two terms at
Yankton and one term at the capital. As
the supreme court holds that YanktoD is
not the capital it can, until reversed,
have the pleasure Of meeting three times
year.

1t is said by some that Raymond is
the north Dakota candidate. As the
word north Dakota was used IN the can.
vass for the constitution and the fight for
statehood and division, it meant, not
north Dakota geographically, nor gen
orally. for that people have always been
with us in our fight, but that gang of
unprlnclpled adventurous and spoilsmen
and brlbe.makers and takers,
known as the Corruption
Gang" Ordway headed it and
Walsh. Mckenzie, Wells. Williams,
Flannery, Edwards, Plummer. ct i'd
genus onane. composed it. In South
Dakota some men belonged TO it.
though they lived is South Dakota
They we're with South Dakota but not
of South Dakota. Nash, Jerauld, Cres
sy, Van Epps, Burdick. Wagner, Scohey
Hughes and gang of little men, who
sold themselves for their respective
messes of pottage, and with few insig
nifcent understrappers and small dogs
composed the following.
They were Ordway's bread and butter
brigade.
Now these were North Dakota men, il
the meaning OF that term as We have de
fined it. No community in South Dakots
owns them.
That is, they were fighting with the
corruption gang Of North Dakota against
their own section.
Now who are opposing Raymond
Ordway is. Edwards is, Mckenzie is
Nash is, Burdick is, Scoby is, Jerauld is
Hughes is, Wagner is, Cressy is, Val
Epps is. The whole gang is.
Now if the north Dakota corruptio,
gang, and the bread and butter brigad
of Ordway oppose Raymond how is h
the north Dakota candidate?
We commend this question to ou
friends of south Dakota, who have beeI
misled we think by words.
Our position is unmistakable. We ar
for south Dakota, for division, for state
hood before any man and anything.
We are therefore for Raymond, becaus
he is for these, and because the enemle
of south Dakota, the enemies of division
the enemies of statehood are fighting
him.

Mr.. Raymond in further conversation
expressed the belief that division and
admission could be secured at the next
term regardless Of the presidential
result, as the democrats would not care
to shoulder the responsibility of further
denying the application for statehood
