Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11
Scattering Shots.


The journalistic force in the city has
Wilson of Pembina and Major Tory of
Aberdeen, both of whom are industrious
and gifted representatives of the Dakota
press.
II IS rapidly dawning upon those who
VISIT the council chamber that Senator Dol
lara OF Bon HOmme county, is a man who
knows band wagon when he sees it, He
IS one OF the members who will not be
caught sleeping with his boots on.
No ONE can look back at the magnificent
vote received by Rorapaugh and Snore for
sergeant-at-armsa and assistant without re-
cognlzlng in these gentlemen two as artistic
organizers as ever formed partnership
for mutual advancement. They have no
acquaintance with flies.
AMONG THE conspicuous members of the
third house now present and ready for
business are Judge Bangs of Grand
FORKS, Colonel James of Columbia and DIR.
Vorgo OF COoperstown. These gentlemen
are all good singers and will have front
seats when Governor Hannifin swings his
baton.
j. H. WAUGH the good looking and en-.
tertaining gentleman from Jamestown. is
sal9 10 De here for more than his health
and, as ne IS one OF the most popular can

The horney-handed Adams has thus far
proven to be one of the most industrious
farmers in the house.
The classic-featured James B. Keenan,
having returned from New Orleans. where
ne has been visiting friends for several
weeks, was given certificate of election in
the third house last evening and it is re-
ported that he has been lobbying with
Governor Hannifn for the craftsmanship of
the committee on appropriations.
TITS suspected that George B. Winship
and George n. Walsh who will soon be in
the throes of a contest for the Grand
Forks seat are somewhat interested in the
forthcoming report of President Stimmel
on the question of committees. The COM
mittee on elections will soon be given
most graphic description of Grand Forks
politics.
The 'sfine Italian hand' that brought
about the combination in the house has
been spoken of and it is understood that If
you will follow this hand behind the
scenes you will find it connected with
Representative Greene, Hunter and Price.
These gentlemen did some artistic work in
cementing the organization and their
friends are '9 not ts.! slow to give them credit.
The L1sTaexlSld members of the mouse
given in thes8&IBUNE was made unpar-
dOnably incomplete by the omission of the
names of the happy d. F. Roger of Jer-
auld county, and the ubiquitous John ID.
Patton of the Black Hills. These gentle
men belong to the "old guard" who in the
past have won friends and admirers in Bis
marck.

Gus familiar faces in the council The
