hat some of his statements In regard to the
l. aha tnIr.

Yankton conventions In this unanimous ex-
preston have written. the Republican
banner in letters of living light these words:
division on the 46th parallel aud the admis-
sion of South Dakota The action of this
convention adults of no other interpreta-
tion."
This Is the minority report before the
Yankton convention, which was rejected. 1t
will be found useful during the campaign:
Resolved, That we favor speedy and appro-
pirate legislation by congress whereby the
question OF division of the territory or admis-
sion as whole be submitted to the legal
voters OF the whole territory; and providing
IN the same act for admission rs whole Or
division and admittanee with tn will of the
people thus expressed plcdgtng ourselves to
Loyalty abide by the results of such vote.
The Bowdle PioAeer, at the present ter
minus of the extension Of the Milwaukee road
in Edmunds county, claims to have assurance
that the tOwn will continue the terminus for
three years. 1t would be safer to wager
on Weighs earthquake. The surveyors OF
the Milwaukee, who are running line north
west OF Ellenuale, assure Col. Spear. OF the
Newport Advocate, taat they will build to
the Mouse river country next season, striking
somewhere in tae Big Bend, and going north
west to the Manitoba boundary.
The Harrison bill, which entirely ignores
the wishes OF the North. means the defeat OF
statehood as long as the Democrats control
the popular branch OF congress-wbich looks
now like good many years. 1t will be re-
membered that Congressman Hill, who haa
been so popular i'll the South, recently stated
that be will never vote fer the Harrison bill.
The election of Clifford then, taken as an in
dorsemeRt Of that bill, will only tend to the
prelongatiOn OF the territorial condition,
which very few in any part OF the territory
now desire.
The Ludden Times, in Dickey county, is a
Republican paper, and represents the gen.
eral sentiment In the central counties. In
regard to the nomination and platform at
Yankton, it says: ''The people of this city
now anxiousl await the naming of the Dem
ocratic nominee. and should he be good
non-dvisorist it is safe to suppose that he
will now receive many if not all the Republi-
can votes of Central Dakota. We want no
division in ours, even If we have to elect a
Democrat TO prevent it"
According to the explanation of his parti-
sans Chairman Moody, of the Yankton con-
veation, was deeply panied that parliament
tary law compelled him to deny the anti-di-
Visionists call OF tse counties on that Ques-
ton, as some one had already called for a
viva yoce vote, in which the northern proxies
could not be heard. Sympathy with the acute
and oppressive sense OF Official duty the
part OF the Black Hills attorney for mopolies
would seem to be proper.
To mortsage property several times and
run away with it is a branch Of industry being
too nurnerously developed in Dakota. In
MiEer county, recently. the Maskell and
DanIels families lately travelled with several
horses and other property in this way, but
tae sheriff overlook them in a neigh boring
county and brought them back with the prop
erty. In5but few cases have such parties
succeeded in esca ping.
Although Trail county two years ago gave
but seventy Democratic votes out of 2, Zoo, it
sent to the legislature one Of the two or three
thst slipped into that body. With the de-
liberalization this year over the county ring,
OF watch CcL Plumasr is the blow pipe, and
the prohibition movement, there is a good
chance for the Democrats. La Grand Forks,
100, the Republicans are split, and the Demo
Gratis or farmers will probably carry the
county.
According to this In the Yankton Telegram
temperance ia the platform don't mean any
thing of the sort among the delegates:
Notwithstanding the prohibition plank OF
the platform, the boys, including Col. Plum
me-. were around last night having a jolly
old time. NORTH Daketans and South Dako-
tans mingled and cOmmingled, and the wit
was as sparkling as the wine and that was
the best
Some of the Campbell division Republican
papers accompanied the announcement Of
the nomination Oh Clifford at Yankton with
the exultant declarations; There is a God
in Israel" If the bad men of the north and
center had been able to make their cOmbina-
ton for his defeat it would be an interesting
inquiry as to the designation of the ruling
power in Israel or Yanktou.
Gov. Pierce is rapidly losing his hold with
the radical divisionists of the South. His re-
cent appointment of Engle, one of the strong
est anti-divisionists, as attorney general, they
regard as q blow between the eyes. 1t is
worse than the location of the encampmeu1
in the hot-bed OF the anti-divisiou sentiment
1t will be little use for the executive to throw
taffy to that crowd hereafter.
Although President Washburn states that
the Minneapolis s. Pacific railroad will stop
for the present shout twenty miles over the
Dakota line agents Of the road are securing

official of the Manitoba on the same business
says his road lis going to build to hi if the

Ond to none in the territory for wheat can

and finest lot Of horses ever seen in the
North, perhaps not excepting the Huron fair.
There will be sixty head from the stock farm
ri Mayvillo alone, and Col. Plummer and other
braves and political curiosties will be there.
All the envious and profane newspaper
men In the North are making faces at that
Devils Lake preacher who is reported to have
said in q sermon that Editor George B. Win.
ship, OF the Grand Forks Herald. is the only
truly Christian editor in North Dakota. 1t is
admitted that he is good sad handsome, but
his piety has not been regarded as excessive
The editor of the Salem Register il McCook
county, one OF the most rampant division
organs, innocently says OF Delegate Clifford
The delegates opposed made proposition tc
L
turn for grant Of the balance of power in
the territorial committee, which he accepted,
which was very magnanimous."
AS far as location is concerned the claim
of the Republicans OF the Norta that they
secured control Of .the central committee
appointed at Yaukton, is now sustained by
the facts. Of the thirty members only twelve
reside in counties north of toe forty-sixth
parallel-perhaps the possession Of the chair
man is what Is mesnt.
The ladies Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perancc union claim the credit of having Sc
cured the insertion of the anti-saloon plank
in the Republican platform. 1t is charged
that they are responsible for great deal OF
profanity among Republican Office seekers
whose election Is endangered by it.
Some discover strong suspicion of ingrat IT,
tude in Pierre in defeating Westover for
nomination to the legislature. in view of the
fact that he spent q large part of the last
session In the effort to remove the capital
from Bismarck to Pierre. But his theology
was wrong. No follower Of Bob Ingersoll can
be Endorsed in that district
Col. NJ. w. Sheafe, of the Watertown land
office, recently astonished passengers on the
Milwaukee railroad by paying his fare like
any other traveller. 1t Is stated that he is i n
the habit of doing this. A similar charge was
once made against another Dakota Official
but bis name is not recalled.
DIR. A. G. Darkson, in the Sioux Falls re-
gion, was a recent victim of lightning. II
was vicious bolt, killing his horse. entering
the doctors head and tearing out his interior
down to the stomach and setting his clothes
on FIRE. 1t also melted into a mass silver and
copper coin In his pocket.
The case of the shooting of the Manley lad
in Oliver county by his PLAYMATE Day, son
of the sheriff, last week, affords another Illus
tration Of tho danger Of boys fooling with
pistols. In their play they picked up pistol,
and Day, aged ID, pointed it at Manley. aged IA,
with the usual fatal result.
