" Laird OF Pierre and +. w. Mckinney Of Bis
marck These gentlemen are all pressing their
Claims Tor The position, but i: is difficult to say
who will win the prize, as geographical locations
and other important matters are to be taken iuto
consideration In making the appointment. For
Inc once or treasurer, w. N. McVay, who has filled
nv position acceptably, for two terms. and
whose tom has now nearly expired, is one of the
ieading candidates. Other candidates are Col.
Grigsby OF Sioux Falls, and j. w. Raymond and
y. n: Fairchild Of Bismarck, the two last
named peiag respectively president of he Bis
marck National bank and caShier of the First
National bank OF Bismarck. 1t is generally I'M
oerstood that Alex Hughes is a candidate for re-
app~oinenent TO the attorney generalship. His
enemies have been after his scalp, endeavorinR
TO leglslate him out by abolishing the Office, but
without success, the bill being defeated in COM
mlttee. The reason for this onslaught was
hughes position on the capital commission,
where he won notoriety unenyiable TO many.
Hon. +. j. Mclaughlin Of Grafton, member of the
present council, Is understood to be a can
uloate Tor the office. So far as heard from,
put one candidate Of any prominence has APP
peared for the Office OF superintendent Of public
instruction-Gen. II. H. Beadle, the present In
cumbent. Blakemore, Of the house. would like
the position, but 1t will not, in all probability,
be thrust upon him. The council busted itself

A)v. Pierce sent two nominations to the
council to-day, j. W.. Raymond OF Bismarck for
treasurer and Joseph Ward of Yankton for SUI
pcrintcndont OF public instruction. The cou nci.
spent some time In executive session consider
ing the appointments, finally deciding to put
them over till tomorrow. This was done either
to wait for final action until all the nominations
are III or TO withhold action for a while In order
TO keep the capital Iemovers so engrossed in
watching appropriations and appoin tments as
to prevent their acting on the capital removal
The nominations give general satisfaction and
will probably be confirmed. Mr.. Raymond is
president OF the Bismarck National bank, has
lived in ismarck since 1872, and is
the first banker in the territory. In
case of his appointment the territory
will secure q competent officer. Mr., Ward served
twelve wears as pastor Of the Congregational
church OF Yankton, and Is now president OF a
college at that place He is a man Of marked
ability, fine education, and well adaptsa to per-
form the duties OF the Office. 1t Is understood
that he owes his appointment largely to Gam
ble's influence. .Raymonds nomination as treas
urer augurs we'll for Caldwell's chances to secure
the authorship. In fact, 1t is generally believed
that he will be the lucky man. Aside from APP
preparation bills and nominations no business
tention of either house to-day. Col. Smedley
called up the house bill referring TO
the division of Roberts county, and
succeeded in so amending it as to
locate the county seat at Wilmot. The bill re-
vising the Fargo city charter was discussed in
the house, the claim being made that the council
amendments had been changed by outside par
ties. The bill was sent TO the council, where L
returned to the house. A COMMITTEES has been
appointed to Investigate the subject. The
house took up the insurance bill late in the aft
ern0On, considering a few sections, but deferrinR
final consideration until tomorrow. A bill will
be introduced in the house Tomorrow 30 divide
