The governorshlp of Dakota seems TO
be floating about between Captain Ma
rata and Mr.. Ziebach. The Democrat
has always been an advocate for Mr..
Wilson for the place when the change is
made and still believes his appointment
would be most fitting and proper from
all standpoints. All the other namea,
however, mentioned in connection with
the Office, are old time democrats, Of am.
to administer good healthy government
for Dakota. The Democrat hopes that
some of them will be appointed. Fargo

care of cattle. About SIX weeks ago
friend of ours took weak calf out of the
herd, rlaced it in :sarm stable, and fed
it up in fine shape. The other night i
died from pure grief, thinking OF the
hard time the calves outside were having.

A petition is being circulated in the city
Mr.. J. w. Davidson to stand
as candidate for mayor at the coming
city election and pledgiug the signers to
support him at the polls. This is very
singular proceeding after Mr.. Klaus stat.
ing to the citizens convention Friday
night that he was authorized to withdraw
the name of Mr.. Davidson. The vote at
the convention Friday evening shows that
over half the voters Of the
city took part in the convention, and the
of any who voted IN that con
vention and now signs thls p.t,tiou and
pledge Of support to Mr.. Davidson may
well be questioned. If Mr.. Davidson had
"faced the music" at the court house and
received the nomination of the citizens
he would have been entitled
to and would have received the hearty
support of hundreds who now very pror-
erly feel IN honor bound to support the
of convention in which they
took part. Mr.. Davidson is gentleman
who is held in high esteem and respect
