The newly elected mayor of Fargo, was
born in Herkimer county, New York,
Dec. Z, 1856. being now in his fifty-sec-
ond year. His early life was spent on a
farm, working summers and attending
school in the winter season. Like many
others who have attained to high and
honorable positions, he did not depend
entirely upon the country school for
educuation, but availed himself of every
opportunity to increase his knowledge,
of books, as well as constantly storing
his mind with those other matters,
which, on arriving at more mature years,
have been of greater practical benefit
than the most polished education could
have been. He made choice of law as
profession, and after four years read
ing was admitted to practic, November,
1860. In 1861 he went to Iowa, locating
at Independence. where he engaged in
the practice of his profession until 1882.
when he formed partnership at Fargo
with VincentS. Stone, also New York
lawyer, with whom he has continued in
business to the present time, MI. New

never having asked for OF sought Office
of any kind giving his attention strictly
the firm OF Stone & Newman is known
throughout the Northwest as one OF the
safest and best legal firms now in prac-
tice and It's not at all deterioratiDg from
the splendid ability of his partner to
state that the solid foundation of this
legal house is largely due to the wise
management of Mr.. Newman. The. cit
liens of Fargo seem to have bad about
the same opinion of him as is here ex-
pressed, and believed he would make as
successful mayor as he has attorney and
thas he possessed the exact qualities to
peculiarly fit him for that position at
the present time. Upon this ground
and for these reasons he was elected in
opposition to one of the most popular
men in the city-Gen. Capehart. No
one for moment doubts that Mr.. New
man will care for the interests of the
city with that same coolheaded, COM
nonsense ability which has character
lied him as lawyer, and will retire
from the Office at the expiration of his
term with the unanimous approval Of
his fellow citizens.

MAYOR MATHEWS.

Mayor of BrOOkings, Dak., was re-
elected Tuesday. The unanimous vote
he received would indicate that the peo-
pie consider him the right man in the
right place. AS capable, straightfOr-
ward business man, as well as an able
and successful lawyer, not to mention
his qualities as a shrewd politician, he
seems to be very popular in the city OF
his home. Outside his own town, and
even throughout the territory, he is not
unknown to reading men, especially to
the prominent politicians.
George A. Mathews, or ''Jim." as he
Lawrence county, New York, and de-
sends from New England ancestry.
The family moved West and located in
the Hawkeye state, and in the Upper
Iowa university the young man received
his education, graduating from the Law
department Of that institution in 1878.
In 1879 he located in Bookings
county, Dakota, as a member of the
firm of Mathews u ScObey, the first
lawyers in the county. With G. w.
HOpp as a partner he established the
Klngsbury County News, at DeSmet, in
$780,. Mr.. Mathews was member of
the famous, or, as considered by soma
the infamous,
CAPITOL COMMISSION,
but in all his connection with the re-
moval of Dakota's capital no one has
charged him with any breach of faith OF
injustice to the public, nor to any city,
town or individual. Gov. Ordway APP
pointed him to the Office of district at
torney, in which capacity he earned a
good reputation as criminal lawyer.
Elected to the territorial council in
1886, his abilities and popularity were
recognized by the election as president
of that body. Though inexperienced in
legislative matters, his fairness and
firmness in decision of questions pre-
sented, made him wide reputation as
a parliamentarian. His success in Sc
curing the legislation demanded by his
constituents gave him firm hold on the
people of the Seventh district. -
Mr.. Mathews was the first mayor of
Brookings under the city charter, and
this third reelection indicates that he
is "stayer." He has been favorably
mentioned as good man for delegate in
congress, but declines to take any steps
in that direction. He prefers to build
uponhis reputation as sound lawyer,
which is quite well established now in
Eastern DakOt

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The recon-
mendation of Hon. M. FL. Day still
counts at the pOstoffice department. 1t
is not true, unless officials misstate
facts, that Day has been denied any ap-
pointments in that department. 1t is
not true that Grover Cleveland sent
word to that department, and all other
departments, that the Endorsement of
NJ. III. Day is not to count. On the con-
trary, the president requested Mr.. Day
to continue to give him the benefit of
his acquaintance and knowledge of men
and affairs in Dakota by indOrsing the
applications of worthy men. 1t is said
at the departments that Day has not
filed an Endorsement for some time, but
they deny that he has been turned down
in any way. Probably he is too busy at
present looking after his fences to make
recommendations for office.

NO CONVENTION, BUT HAPPY
Sioux Falls Expects to Come in
for Something.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, April 6.-SiouX Falls
doesn't care to kick on the umpire in
the matter of the location of the conven-
lions, because she feels that she will
yet score home run. The Republican
conventions she lost because her repre-
sentatives were not able to reach Aber-
deem in time. The Democratic cOnven-
ton could easily have been put here
had Messrs. Ward and Glidden been
willing to so cast their proxies, but in
asmuch as Sioux Falls will want one of
the delegates at large, and inasmuch as
there are number of candidates here
for the place, it was feared the location
of the convention here might cause ull-
satisfactory complications. The COM
mittee, therefore, put the first convention
at watertOwn, and will select Sioux
Falls as the place for the delegate con-
vention to come later. Sioux Falls men
and the committee are mutually salts
fed with this arrangement, which will
in all probability be ratified when the
committee recOnveneS.

tional convention, ETC.; and then, when
she comes to congress for admission,
she may be given statehood even if the
others are left out, or adversely acted
upon. In other words, while all four
territories may go through the prelim-
inaries of admission, no one Of them
shall be kept out of the Union on ac
count of the rejection of the others. 1t
is understood that such bill is being
considered by several Republican SEN

THE MAYOR OF JAMESTOWN.

was this week elected mayor of the
upper metropolis of the James river with
little opposition, having served in that
position the past year to the great salts
faction of the community. He is widely
known as the efficient and popular Da-

The local Democrats here were greatly
surprised, as they knew of Days visit
before the committee meeting, and of
his overtures of peace, his action in the
committee meeting and of the fair,
courteous and impartial manner in
which Gov. Church treated him day
and advised them before leaving of this,
and his present position is prejudicial
to Democratic harmony and they Sc
verely censure him for hypocritical ac-
ton.

WHAT HAS KEPT FRANCIS.
Justice Waite Said to Have Used
His Influence in Favor of Fran

CISs
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The reten-
ton of Judge Francis in his office last
fall, was almost wholly due to the in
fluential interference of the late Chief
Justice Waite. Readers of the GLOBE
will remember that when the supposed
dynamite bomb was taken to the resi-
dence of Justice Waite, Judge Francis
was there visiting him. The account
was telegraphed at the time. By request
of Justice Waite Judge Francis was per-
mitted to remain in Office until the
February term of court. But, it is now
so near the close of his term, and the
fact that his friend is dead, will cause
his interference to be respected, and
hence it is that Judge Francis retains
his place and will do so until July.

GRAND FORKS NEW MAYOR.

Capt. Alexander Griggs was the pio-
neer of Grand Forks-the first settler.
To the visitor of the present handsomely
built city of 1000 population, it seems
like fiction to be told that Capt. Griggs
selected the site for the city half de-
cade after the close of the war. In 1870
he entered upon that almost unknown,
and as was generally believed, unin-
habitable country. He struck the
Req river at the now abandoned
Fort Abercrombie, and followed
its swelling waters northwest 100
miles, looking for the right place to
locate city, and when he saw the
present site of Grand Forks, he said,

Special Letter to the Globe.
CAsTLEwooD, OAK, April Cit must
have been gratifying (?) in the extreme
for the Republicans when the Demos
cratic central committee completed
their work in Bismarck last week, esq
pecially to those who have worn threadr
bare the report of antagonistie feelingS
between Gov. Church and Hon. Nj. Hl
Day. One would naturally conclude
from the result of the meeting as am
nOunced by the press, that there is really
no division in the Democratic ranks iii
Dakota; and most certainly, if there
ever was wounded feeling, it is now
successfully healed, and in the future
it may be expected that the Democratic
party will present solid front and
work tremendously for the welfare OF
the party and the people. To be sue
cessful it will require perfect harmony,
end now that the first effort in that di-
rectiOn has been successfully put forth,.
1T only requires deliberate and careful
consideration from the party and
further success is certain to follow.
There is assuredly good meaning rex
sulting from the Bismarck meetingy
anu VIC CuI HCSlly llOpt lIldl
all fractional strife will be cast aside
and,
WITH UNITED EFFORT
on the part of every Democrat, the re-
suit will be most gratifying. We are.
looking forward to pleasant meeting
in WatertOwn the I'd day of May, and
whoever succeeds in being hOnored with
nomination on that day will receive
hearty cooperation from every true
Democrat in Dakota. Republican lead+
ers are already experiencing trouble in
their own camp in the selection of q
candidate for delegate, and it will be-
well for the Democratic brethren to-
profit themselves by the awkwardnessj
and selfishness of Republican dema-
gogues. Let the harmony which a6
present prevails in Dakota Democracy
be continued without abatement, and
when the campaign is fully opened this
fall there will be prestige to commence
with that will weigh heavy with the
voters. Continue the brOad-gauge plat
form of tariff reform, and work hand i'm
hand and rest assured that the Republic
can majority of late years will sink be-
low its mark. Hoist banner gaily
above your heads and don't lose any
time in doing your duty to your party,
and when the ultimatum is reached
success will crown your efforts.
