THE DAKOTA CIRCUS.
Fresh Squad of Delegates for Huron
to Name a President.
who They Are and What They Want to
Do at Huron.

Another relay Of delegates TO the presiden4
tial convention of Dakota, to be convened at
Huron tomorrow, passed through St. Paul
Yesterday. If anybody desired to gain an
idea of Dakota men, an inspection Of those
who have been selected to attend this con-
vention would satisfy him that the northern
part of the great territory is in the hands
of live, rustling, intelligent men, who
know what they want and how to get it;
who fully appreciate the advantages they
possess as a commercial factor in the grand
national commonwealth, and who are fully
competent to develop them, not only to their
own advancement, but in the interest of the
thousands who are seeking homes in the
golden northwest. A finer body of men
never represented any state or territory.
There were over thirty in the happy party
that arrived yesterday morning and departed
by the afternoon train on the St Paul u
Omaha road. Every profession, business
and trade was represented, and it is said
that there was not politician in the lot.
Grand Forks county contributed two dele
cations, both claiming to be regular, a double
headed convention having b9eu held, the
split being on the teehnicalities each side
holding that the action of the other side was
irregular and Illegal. The George II. Walsh
delegation consists of himself, II Sullivan,
T. Chaenor, DR.. Herman, S. r. Hunt, E.
Kennedy, a. Chrstiana and John Faddeu.
The other comprises George. B. Winship, j.
w. Smith, Peter Train, j. Anderson, Mr..
Dickerson, J. Elton, Dr. Collins and G.. B.
Clifford. Both sides are firm and bound to
make good fight, and W. J. MUIR
ply, of the Grand Forks Pldiaaealer,
has accompanied the party to present the
case of the first mentioned delegates. Mr..
Winship of the other delegation is quite a
prominent candidate for delegate TO the
nominating convention, hut he is ready to
sacrifice all personal aspirations to secure the
recognition of his committee Cass county
is represented by Col y. Y. Tyner Col.
Morrow, Col Plummer, G. A. Jordan, G.. A.
Sweat, - Ross, and G.. G.. Beardsley, with
Col Pat DOMAIN full of proxies and ambi-
tons. Col. DOMAIN will do the handsome
thing in representing Barnes county. Cass
county delegates claim that they are the only
representatives not having an aspirant for
delegate to Chicago, but other parties iusinu-
ate that neither Col. Tyner and Major Ed
htANo NOLLA4 bbJGNl " INC lltAtls
Stutsman county sends Nickens Dclley,
Freye and Burke, Hon. E. P. Wells
being represented by proxy. Mr.
Nickens modestly disclaims any
desire to be a national delegate, but he
would not kick if his friends insisted opon
his going. Mr.. Wells is an avowed candi-
date.
Walsh county sends S. P. Harvey with
four proxies and Mr. Yorke with six Penn
bina county sends r. d. Hoskins with an
abundance of votes to join Hon. Juo. La
Moure. Nelson county will be represented
| by John Cain, and Lieut.. Creel, will do the
! elegant for Ramsey county. w. +. Steele
has two votes for Kidder county.
1t is impossible to form any plausible idea
of how North Dakota stands in regard TO
president but in talking with the delegates it
seems impossible TO avoid the impression
that Blaine is the stronger. Logan viii Un-
doubtedly get good Complementary vote
and Arthur will show up in excellent shape.
Some of the delegates while admitting that
the two votes of the territory VIII cut but a
sorry figure among 800, are free to confess
that even those two votes viii be
good property to trade on. 1t is
rumored that Grand Forks, Trail, Cass,
Walsh, Nelson and Ramsey county delegates
are instructed to vote for George b. Wiuship
as delegate from north Dakota, and Petit
grew for the southern part or the territory,
but there is really no head or tail to the affair
thus far, and lively caucus may be ex-
! pected in Huron to-day.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
Yankton crowd viii present resolutions con-
demning Gov. Ordway and asking that in
case governor is selected who is not a resi-
dent of Dakota, Deering, of Iowa, be the
man. North Dakota will present a resolution
fayoring Col. Lounsberry if q Dakota man
is chosen.
There viii surely be circus at Huron, and
the result must be of great consequence and
importance to the entire territory. The
best brains are in the contest and the future
history Of Dakota will be colored by the action
! [ the convention.
