The Lisbon Gazette, which Is likely to be

named in the call, il is thought that the ad-
Visibility of forming a state legislature for
North Dakota will be voted upon. The voice
of the people should certainly be taken on
this as well as other questions. and although
we do not expect division aud admission at
the hands of a Democratic government we
do believe that the administration will deem
II polite TO recognize Dakota in some form
or another"
