FARGO, OAK, Sept 2O.-At meeting of
Republican voters, held in the Opera house
this evening, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
ReS0iged, That we deprecate the spirit Of
sectionalism in Dakota that the designation
of north and south Dakota, as far as the
common interests of the people of the whole
territory are concerned, is obnoxious, and to
arraign one section against the other is to
us impolitic and dangerous. Regretful Of
the defeat OF our home candidate, the Hon.
John b. Raymond, we cheerfully submit to
the combined wisdom of the party of whom
we are factors and heartily endorse the nom
ination of the Pierre convention, Judge
Oscar s. Clifford, as delegate to congress.
