did not hesitate to pronounce infamous.

Williams and will support him until they
see him in the legislature He was the first
man in the territorial legislature from this
section OF Dakota and the most expert
enced member, He mas the respect OF
every man with whom he has been mem
ber. He respected the republicans on the
west side of the river, but because coun-

others shouldn't be presented. Ward

Parsons said the west country was proud
of Williams, but we agreed to help Bur
leigh county on the man they wanted,
and is it right that they should
thWart us thus? Burlelgh has eight
delegates, but Morton, with larger popu-
lation, has only five. Ii God spares us and
you act as proposed, the day Will come
when you will regret such action. 1t, as
curses, like chickens, will surely come
home to roost. 1t is not question between
men, but between people. Although de-
prived Of just representation, we have
trusted you all and come to the convention
without contest and without trouble.
