Incidents at the the Pierre Convention.
Correspondence Sioux City Journal:
There were numerous amusing and in
teresting incidents interspersed IN the
proceedings of the convention. A sim
gular and amusing coincident occurred
just before the convention was called to
order on Wednesday, and one that will
be especially appreciated by those who
were present at the Huron convention
last May. There met upon the report.
ers' platform without any preconcerted
arrangement, Col. John King, J. d. SEQ.
bey, E. w. Caldwell and Maj. Edwards,
four gentlemen that figured as Temporal
ry chairmen and secretaries of the
double-barreled organization of the Hu-
ron convention, and the quartette hand
shake which they indulged in provoked
a roar of laughter that indicated that
the curious meeting upon this occasion
was greatly enjoyed. The numerous.
tilts between Judge Moody and johnson
Nickeus, the respective leaders of the
southern and northern factions, were
the cause Of no little merriment. These
gentlemen are both men of fine personal
appearance and eloquent speakers, and
their speeches, though sometimes vim
dictlve, sparkled with wit and repartee,
and were received with loud and pro.
longed cheers.
Quite sensation was created on one
occasion, when Maj. Hamilton, one.
armed soldier from Grand Forks, at
tempted to address the chair, and an
effort was made to cry him down. A
delegate in the rear of the hall stepped
upon chair and in thunder tones
shouted SO that all could hear: "The
man that carries an empty sleeve must
be heard" Such a shout and hand.
clapping as greeted these words told
plainly that the crippled soldiers cause
had not entirely lost its hold upon the
hearts of those assembled there.

Prohibition in Sphinx county is being
enforced in manner which threatens an
uprising among the victims on election
day. The grand jury has just returned
sixty indictments against individuals for
selling or giving away liquor without a
county license. These indictments are
against saloon keepers, druggists and in.
dividuals who have given liquor to sick
people. There is an. impression in Sp,nk
county that the reform movement has
been somewhat overdone.

Correspondents in writing the history
of the Pierre convention are busy CIV
ing the causes for the result. The st.
Paul Pioneer.P Press representative writes:
To almost every .one here in the con-
vention, or out OF it, it seems certain,
that Maj. Raymond owes his defeat,
first, to the combinations made, held to.
gether and manipulated by Alex Nc
Kenzie, Charles Mccoy, r. F. Pettigrew
and A. @. Mellette, and to the lack of as
skillful leaders on his own side. Maj.
Edwards, of Fargo, attributes Maj. Ray
mond's defeat to the lack of delegate
leader on the floor who knew where and
how to seize the day. He believes that
at one time Raymond could have been
nominated by acclamation.
The Sioux City Journal correspondent
advances this opinion:
The contest Was undeniably 9 Sec
tional one, south Dakota against north
Dakota. The opposition to Delegate
Raymond, except by a few counties in
north Dakota recognized as the Bis
marck faction, marshaled by Alex Nc.
Kenzie and Maj. Edwards, and r. F.
Pettigrew in southern Dakota, who as.
sumed to have personal grievances, was
not from any personal dislike, or objec-
ton to his course in congress, for
it is generally conceded that
Raymond has made creditable and i'm.
partial public record, but from the fact
that he is northern Dakota man. The
Bismarck opposition to the renotnina-
tion of John B. Raymond has grown
out of the capital commission unpleas-
antness, because he has persistently ig.
nored their demands to secure or make
an effort, at least, to secure national
Legislation that would leRalize the ques
tionable transactions of that historical
nine. Pettigrew's reasons for desiring
the defeat of Raymond are also readily
explained. Pettigrew claims, and it il
undoubtedly true, that Raymond owed
his nomination two years ago to him
and for which service he should have
been allowed to control the patronage oi
southern Dakota, which privilege being
denied, determined if possible to com
pass the defeat of Raymond for SECOND
term in congress-.

To Editor NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
AS quite a number Of my friends re-
quested me to write them how | liked
Dakota, with your consent | will try to
answer them as shortly as possible
through your paper. | will give you a
short sketch of u trip.
Leaving ChebOygan Feb. 9th, we did
not take long to arrive at Milbank, Da-
kOta, a small town SO miles east of Aber-
deem, and that was where our troubles
began. We arrived there on Friday, the
Goth of February. After making iRqui-
rey, we were informed that we would get
a train next day. But the next day
there was quite a breeze, the road was
blocked with drifting snow. Between
Milbank and Aberdeen there is q ridge
of hills, and in those hills there is some
deep cuts which fills with nov every
time the wind blows, but instead of the
breeze which / have mentioned going
down by Sunday morning, when l and
my friend Barney woke from our gentle
dreams we had the pleasure of seeing
the genuine Dakota blizzard In full
blast, which it kept up all day without
any intermissiOn, but the next morning
it was quiet and clear, without a sign of
the storm that was raging the day be-
fore. After waiting until the next Fri
day for the railroad company to get the
road open, and seeing no signs of get
ting through for a month, and not lik-
ing the idea of paying two dollars a day
for our board for that length of time,
we got a pass to go around about 1888
miles to get to Aberdeen where we ar
rived on the 10th of March, and had the
pleasure of seeing another blizzard the
next day, and the old settlers said it was
the worst they had seen ia the territory,
and it was a hnmmer and no mistake.
BuJ the next morning was as fine as if
nothing had happened, and | and my
friend Barney nothing daunted, started
to stage it n hundred miles across the
prairie to lie Beau, where we arrived all
safe on the 14th of March a little tired
but none the worse Of our long journey.
lie Beau is a small town, situated close
to the Missouri river, in q small valley
nearly surrounded by high bluffs. The
weather has been all any person could
wish for since we arrived here, fine,
clear, warm days and light frOsts at
night.
l located myself in a shop and started
TO work on the 18th, and have plenty of
work to do to keep me out of mischief
or tying cans to dogs tails, and Barney
employs his time hunting prairie chick
ems.
Having said enough for this time /
will close with best wishes for all. If
you are shivering with the cold raw
winds that Cheboygan is noted for, come
put TO the west, and see the kind of
weather we have.
