The list of democratic conventions
held is increased to. day by nine counties
adding twenty-five delegates TO the
Church column and twenty-five to the
Day column. giving to Church ninety
seven and to Day one hundred delegates
in the Watertown convention. The
status of the Brown county delegation,
which was yesterday quoted as mixed"
has been defined. Five OF its delegates
are for Church, three for Day and one
independent. Hutchinson county also
sends divided delegation, two for each
side. MCPHERSON county, previously
listed as independent, went for Day. The
county of Edmunds is given in our list
as divided. Newspapers in that section
assert that the Edmunds delegation is
solid for Day, but, pending further in
formation, we leave Edmunds county a.
previously quoted--three for Church and
two for Day. The convention returns
corrected up to to-day are:

Sioux Falls Press: The Sioux City and
Northern railroad company which has
caused some newspaper talk in certain
localities was organized as is quite gener-
ally understood to steal the Manitoba
railroad from Sioux Fails and divert it to
Sioux City. This scheme was thoroughly
aired IN the Press, when it was shown
that the projectors OF the line would tap
the Manitoba survey about twenty miles
northeast OF this city. Later, this paper
stated, on the strength Of reliable ihfor-
nation received, that the citizens living
in the wallow OF the Big Muddy, might
get the line provided they would run
their survey to this city or south CT here,
otherwise they would get left on having

not partial to Sioux City, and didn't

place, but ii they would build the line

iections TO operating it as branch OF
the MANITOBA.
It seems that the people wouldn't hear

veloped that the citizens are going to

Ortonviile survey. This will give Sioux
City two north parallel lines OF the Mil

apart. This doesn't give them anything
new, and leaves them as far from the
lakes as ever.

fore it is paid, and in the end IL may
be defeated in the courts. But admit

the amount required to do the work.
The Milwaukee is willing to put up

clear how he is going to do it, unless the
Milwaukee stands good for them. The
citizens pay his expenses.

ResoEoed, That the administration of
Dakota affairs by Governor L. x.
Church, embarrassed by conditions for
which he vas not responsible, has been
just to oil parties and especially com
mendable to the people as against COR

Releasing the oorpo ate monopoly

company from the hardship uf paying

Sending appointees over the terri

is another commendable feature of ad-

become exhausted after even short flights. and
frequently are compelled to alight in places
