SENTIMENT AT FARGO.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dec. 17.-Net only Democrats,
but quite generally Republicans agree with
the editorial views of the GLOBE, that the
Huron state movement, as set forth by Mel
letter is feeble but real i'm itation Of the
Southern Rebellion: but it is looked upon
rather as farce than bona fide attempt
to establish state. 1t is based upon the
action of rump of constitutional con-
vention (39 out of 90 members votng),
which was less than a quorum and could do
nothing even if the body had legal exist
ence. There is no apprehension of trouble
growing out Of it. and few believe it will
ever be heard of again, unless misinformed
Republicans at Washington should be de-
luded into its support.
