THE CoNTHeT Inprp

I.aMoure has finally gained the
coveted prize and taken the seat III
the upper house Of the Legislature.
After much hard work and much skill,
full manipulation of men aud means
after several hair.brealth escapes and
months of patient plotting, he has
gained seat In the council. VIVA,
he lacked in popular backing at home
he has made up by shrewd tireless
scheming, with the help of fellow ex.
perts in his line in other parts of the
Territory. We will give Mr.. LaMoure
the credit Of saying that few men In
Dakota could have succeeded in
climbing over the obstacles he had t.
surmount in his long struggle for q
seat in the Territorial council. In al
this battle he had a skillful co.workel
in Major Edwards Of Fargo. Perhaps

intrigue, Cancellation and compromise

who had the faintest insight into the
situation could not be over sanguine
of his prospects of success. When
the committee on contested elections
reported almost unanimously in favor
of seating Wilson, it looked dark for
I-aAfcure. but it was the signal fol
more heroic and desperate measures
on the part of the latter. Finally he
got a bare majority to his standard, a
majority of one and his victory was
secure. The report that he was seated
by almost a unanimous vote is not
true and was doubtless sent out mere.
