town. OF course, then, it was great
defeat for the South.


1t is given out that man from Grand
Forks. who was sent down to New
York TO receive Blaine, on behalf of the
clubs, has secured job from the ma
tional committee to canvass New York;
at how much a speech is not stated. He
is not known as a speaker or politician
away from his home, and unless he re-
cited a sample of his work before the
committee in New York, that body dis
played very remarkable confidence in
the Dakota brand.
Col. PLUNDIER has an excellent
memory at times. He now recalls in
his Blizzard that his asinine friend,
MOODY, at one time prevented the di-
vision of the territory and admission of
a state. Capt. McCLELLAND, now sec
rotary of CALVIN BRICE, of the Demo
cratic national committee; Judge Nc
CoNNELL, and few other Democrats
went to Washington to aid in securing
the division of Dakota. They ''suc-
ceeded in securing Democrats enough
to pass the bill under a suspension of
the rules if Judge MOODY had not pre-
vented it. He was not satisfied with
division. He wanted state carved out
of portion of Dakota, leaving the
North the old territorial government,
ORDwAY and all, but under new
name, while the South took statehood
and the name. As he refused to accept
anything else, Dakota division was de-
feated." This is PLUMBERS story, and
he is infallible authority with Republi-
cans now. OF course PLUMMER was
not at the Watertown convention, but
his feeling for MOODY was, and good
many were filled with delight at their
success in knitting him by putting his
home foe, BULLOCK, on the central
committee. This evidently sent an
electric thrill through $50 pounds now
meandering the state of BLAINE.

The school book series published by
ID. d. MERRILL, of st. Paul, has an addi-
ton just issued that is of particular in
terest in Dakota. 1t is entitled ''Da-
kota; Its Geography, History and Re-
sources" by w. III. II. BEADLE, late SUI
perintendent of schools in the territory.
1t is book of forty-eight pages, neatly
printed, and with excellent illustrations
of all the principal institutions and
many of the peculiar features of inter-
est. The information it contains is i'm
partial and accurate, and affords sort
of bird's-eye view of the entire terri
tory. 1t is sold at twenty-five cents,
and should be adopted in the public
schools. Prof. BEADLE has done good
thing for Dakota in the production of
this book, and has compressed into its
few pages matter that will be of value
to persons of all ages.

DIR. ALLOwAY, the man who looks
after unhealthy animals in an official
capacity, has lately had thirty-five head
of cattle in Martin county as victims of
the ''black leg" This is not frequent
affection, but CHAMBERS has been so scat
tered that his energetic measures the
past two years have not fully succeeded
in Graduating it.

Col. MORTON. the Fargo rustler and
capitalist, whose excessive mOdesty has
refused to allow his facial eXpanse to
blush into print, has attested his faith
i'll the election of CLEVELAND by put
ting up $500 in gilt-edge paper. He
never allows his feelings to bias his
judgment, and has not in this case.

1t is reported that the delegate from
Watertown to the BLAINE reception
urged that gentleman to make Dakota a
national question, and was told that it
was not possible, as there was but one
national issue-the tariff Perhaps
Senator HALE or some other Maine
statesman still has unpaid claims in
some locality in the territory.

The connection of the Republican
candidate with the capital commission
is prominent matter of discussion with
the party papers. 1t seems that MATH-
Ews' law partner, O'SCOBEY, gave the
controlling vote for the commission bill
in the council, and Gov. ORDwAY APP
pointed MATTHEWS a member. Some
see connection between the two facts.
MATHEWS, it is stated, did not vote for
Bismarck because he was under Obliga-
ton to the Dakota Central railroad. 1t
does not help him to allege that he was
the servitor of a railroad corporation in
stead of an unbiased servant Of the
people.

The Bathgate Democrat looks back
couple of years and finds that it was
MACKENZIE and EDWARDS who fixed
up the scheme to make MATTHEWS pres
ident of the council. A good deal of
history is likely to be unraveled in this
campaign, perhaps not to the advantage
of the Watertown nominee.
