We congratulate the people of North

have of soon becoming Il very prominent

by virtue of the admission act recently

and fundamentally of republican states.
men and leaders, and, by our work here
to day, We evidence deep personal i'll

new state government its formation up

Dakota is to-day, and what she will be in
the future, in wealth, population and
general prosperity, she il directly or i'll

people to this party which llas thus

farmers should have voice and official
representation in the affairs of our State
Government, more especially in the en-
actmcnt and administration of laws that
affect the great agricultural class. where
ny they may be relieved from the bur-
dens OF excessive taxation, freed from
the oppression monoplies and guaranteed
equal privileges and prosperity with
those OF their industrious fellow men ell
gagged in other persuits.
We recognize i'll the traffic of intoxi-
eating liquors, a source ofalarming evil,
whereby many thousands of our fellow
citizens. their wives and children, are
made 10 suffer wrong for which they,
themselves are wholly irresponsible, and
we arc hearty in favor Of the enactment
of such laws as shall voice the sentiment
ofthe great majority of our fellow citizens
looking to the final destruction of tho
traffic, and the suppression of the gigan-
tic evils that flows thcrefrom. 10 this
end, VIC favor the submission Of separ-
