DICKEY FOR CHURCH.

Special to the Globe.
ELLENDAIE, OAK, April 26.-Yester-
day, April %, the Democratic county
mass convention met at the court house
to choose six delegates to represent
Dickey county in the Watertown con-
vention. The delegates chosen were
E. p. Perry, ID. E. Geer, B. MagOffin.
ESTES Thomas, II. c. Rice and B. f.
Porter. The first four are supporters of
the Church administration and the two
last named support Day. The conven-
ton was red-hot one, and turned out
to be a poor Day for opposing Gov.
Church in Glendale. Mr.. Day came
here on Monday morning and worked
necessarily among his friends till the
train left in the evening, but his plans
were not developed till Tuesday night,
when a secret caucus was held and the
pins well-set for carrying the delegation
in the interest of Day. The regulars
rallied at once, and though not organ
lied as well as the opposition, had a
clear majority and would have elected
the whole delegation but for the fact
that long time was spent in discussing
resolutions, and many got tired and
dropped out. Our postmaster, county
treasurer and sheriff were very active in
support of the Day interests and in OPP
position to constituted authorities OF the
territory,

Nevertheless, while the friends of M.

Federal patronage, the governor con-
tinues the even tenor of his way. 1t is
not many years since Roscoe Conkling

Wis. He received an academic educa-
ton at Sparta, of the same state. He
also took a three year law course and
was admitted to the bar in the spring
of 1883. Shortly after that he came to
Mandan, Dak., and was elected superin-
tendent of schools in the fall of 1884 for
the county of Morton. He was re-
elected in the fall of 1886 by more than
three-fourths of the total number of
votes cast. Mr.. Steele has developed so
much industry in the work of his
official position that there is every
reason to believe that he can hold the
office as long as he desires to do so. He
devotes part of his time to real estate,
loans and insurance business, and is
deservedly popular, both in the business
and in the social world. Mr.. Steele is
Republican, but he gets his majOrities
at election times because he is a good
officer, and not because he is poll
tician,

TOWER CITY, April 27.-There is a
growing dissatisfaction among the re-
liable old wheel-horses of Democracy al
the manner in which they were treated
at the delegate convention at Fargo ON
Tuesday, the 9th. OF the seven dele
gates to Watertown, six were taken
from Fargo, one from Casselton, and
the western portion of the county was
not recognized. 1t will not do to ''give
the cold shoulder" to the western boys,
for they are rustlers for Cleveland
every time. We trust the breach will
be healed before the fall campaign
opens-otherwise it will create weak
ness in the Democratic ranks, that
united-can win.

from the milk of over 500 cows. The
creamery company has established
routes to gather it in the usual way, and
when gathered it is to be shipped over
the Northern Pacific railroad to La
Moure, This gives our rural population
all the advantages of creamery, with
out one being built here. The product
from the La Moure creamery will be
shipped to Tacoma, Portland and other
Western points, as prices range better
out there and the freight rates obtain

The debate on the Direct Tax
bill has opened energetically in the
House Of Representatives, and it is
likely to play nearly as important q
part in the history of this session as
did in the records Of the last. One
Of the strongest points scored against
the bill is the statement that, ON the
same principle that iusti6es the re-
fund of the direct taxes, the tax not
only on cotton, but also on raw to-
bacco. would have to be repaid.
This, of course, could not be done
without immense outlay, and there
is very little probability that Con-
gress would ever pass, or the Presi-
dent sign, such a measure. Yet, if
the Direct Tax Refund bill is pass
ed, it is drought that the demand
for the repayment of cotton and to
bacco taxes could scarcely be con-
sistently denied.

dations in the Presidents recent mes
sage is the following: There should
be no scheme for the reduction Of
the surplus accepted as satisfactory
which the burdens Of the people are
only apparently removed. ExtraVa'
CANT appropriations of public
money, with all their demoralizing
consequences, should not be tolerat-
ed. either as ameans Of relieving the
Treasury Of its present surplus or as
furnishing pretext for resisting a
proper reduction in tariff rates"
