of Dakota, was at the Ryan yesterday
on his way, via the $500" and Mon
treal, to New Hampshire to visit his
mother. His wire accompanies him.
His mother is ailing at present, and
Mr.. Boynton hurried off on the evening
train. Before going he had time'tO say
so netting about Dakota politics: 1.-The
ProhibitionistS have done something
which they never did before by nominal
ing a candidate. in Mr.. Cranmeyer, OF
Ipswich, for delegate to congress, thus
making three-cOrnered light. Hereto
Iore all that was necessary to be elected
was to get the Republican nomination,
but it will be different this year.
~
If the Pr0hibitionists poll their full
vote. they would develop a strength
equal to over One-third OF the voting
population Of Dakota. They will natur-
ally draw from the Republicans, which
will probably result i'll the defeat of
Mr.. Matthews, the Republican nominee,
and give the election to the Democrats.
Mr.. Harden, the Democratic candidate,
is a farmer. and vice president of the
Territorial Farmers alliance, while Mi.
Matthews is a lawyer, so that in an
agricultural territory like Dakota Mr..
Harden is particularly strong, and, If
elected. would practically represent
four-ffths of the people of the territory.
The railroad commission is just now
preparing to license the warehouses, but
we have had no railroad difficulties
which were not easy to handle. We re-
Gently visited number of towns of the
Dakota portions of the Chicago 81 North
western and the Chicago, Milwaukee q
ST. Paul, and found everything progress

Sam Nichols was very Sanguine at the
Merchants last night over Merriam's
prospects for the gubernatOrial nOmina-
ton. "Merriam's got it, said he, got
it sure" rs not Mr.. Merriam the sec
Ond choice of a great many McGill dele
gates?" was asked him. "Well," he re-
piled. significantly, there are not any
McGill delegates who will support
Scheffer. In my opinion Schetfer is
done up"
While passing down Fifth street yes
terday afternoon, unusual sounds of IA
miliar hymns were heard emanating
from the county Jail. 1t was aScertained
that delegation from the Young Mems
Christian association were conducting a
song service, as is their custom every
Sabbath afternoon, for the benefit of the
inmates of that institution. An Occa-
Si0nal low muttering of contempt and
disapprOval was heard from some of the
more hardened of Sheriff Richter's
bOarders, but generally the efforts of
the young men were well received, and
most of the prisoners seemed thankful
for the efforts of the association to
brighten the long hours OF their con-
finement.
J. n. Searles, of Saltwater, and Ex-
Senator A. NJ. Crosby. of Luverne,
strOlled along Jackson street together
last night. How is the Rock county
delegation?" was the query put to Sen
yiam," was the terse reply.
-
Ix-Delegate Martin Maginnis, of Mon
aha, who was at the Ryan last night.
said: so far, no candidates have been
for the Democratic nomina-
lion for delegate; in fact, there is not
cry much interest taken in politics in
-Gontana. People seem to have given
ZIP their attention to more profitable
snatters. Toole could get the renomina-
ZION if he wanted it, but he has very
good law practice and doesn't care for
The delegateship. The territory will go
Democratic, of course, no matter who is
the nominee. / was sorry to see a split
in the Democrats of Minnesota this year.
If the party in the state could pull to-
gether, think it would be an easy mat
ter to elect Mr.. Wilson. There is no
question about the thorough fitness of
Mr.. Wilson to sit in the guberna-
torial chair. He is true
gentleman in every respect, and
his record includes good service, both in
the army and in congress.

Governor Leslie has won the people
of our territory, and has become thor
Oughly Identified with the territory. He
started in with many prejudices against
him, but he has fully overcome them by
his good sense and his practical devo-
ton to the best interests of Montana.
Everything is running very smoothly
in the territory at present. The mines
are all panning out well. There are no
new railroad pOjects to speak of, except
that Col. BrOadwater is down here in
connection with the scheme to build
branch of the Montana Central to the
Baker mines on Belt creek. Settlers are
not flOcking into the MariaS reservation
since its opening very fast. Some cattle
men are moving in, and few farms are
being located. There is good deal of
fine farming country up there. The
major is on visit East accompanied by
his wife, and he will return to Montana
in ten or twelve days. He served twelve
years in congress, eQualing the record
of Hon. Horace b. Strait, of this state.
