The Bismarck Tribune states that Auditor
Caldwell since he left Sioux Falls and came
to Bismarck, has had a saIutary influence
in the capital city, which has been noted for
worldly tendencies. Mr.. Caldwell has
taken active leadership in the Sunday
school established there and induced the
| attendance of men like Jewell, Plummer
and Raymond, who have regarded Ingersoll
| as prophet. The Tribune saws that SAT-
urday Caldwell induced Jewell, Raymond
| and Gov. Pierce to go with him to spend
Sunday at a Sunday school convention at
Detroit Lake. 1t is not stated which caught

The Democrats of Brown county Just be-
| fore the election, June so, effected a thor
| Ough organization with a committeeman in
each voting district, and l.. G. Johnson at
the head. As result the immense Repub-
lican majority was wiped out and Demo-
| Gratis elected. This shows what Organiza-
ton can do when supported by live news
! paper like Maj. BaTett'S Aberdeen Repub-
lican. The example is good one for
other sections. The party press. where
worthy of support, should be generously
sustained.

been driven down the river past Grand
Forks to Manitoba, while the people of
North Dakota and North Minnesota were
suffering for lack of this lumber.
Hon. II. NJ. Day, the Dakota member of
the national Democratic committee. re-
turned from Grand Forks on the I'd and
spent day in Fargo. He added greatly
to the number of his personal friends by
his genial address and broad, sagacious
views. He is not an aSpirant for any pO-
sition for himself and does not claim any spe-
cial influence with the powers at Washing
ton. but has done some work for friends
and it is noticeable that the appointments
so far made are confined to this class. He
thinks Gov. Ziebach is understood at Wash
| ingtOn to be the almost unanimous choice
of the party for governor and his appoint
ment is but question of time, perhaps
few months. Mr.. Day finds that the Dem
Ocrats of the South regard the Sioux Falls
convention as pretty nearly farce and
very few of them will have anything to do
