Special to the Gl0De-
FARGO, Dak., Aug. 2S.-Delegates
from sixteen counties are in the city to-
night to participate in the Democratic
state convention tomorrow. The bal
ance will arrive on morning trains.
Great enthusiasm prevails. Bands are
parading the streets, and marked con-
trast to the reception given the Repub-
lican delegates is noticeable. Local
committees are we'll organized, and
delegates are taken care of in most
systematic and painStaking manner; 1t
is noticeable fact chat not a delegation
comes instructed for any particular
candidate, and no combinations or
trades are said to exist. each and every
delegate seeming to be possessed of the
one determination to place the best
men in nomination, and this with as
little wrangling and antagoniZing as
possible. The convention Will be called
to order by Chairman Ryan, of
the Democratic central committee, i'm
mediately after which Hon. William NJ.
Springer will deliver an address. No
attempt will be made to effect tempOr-
ary or permanent organization until the
afternoon session. Every delegate will
have the privilege, and that privilege
will be recognized, of naming his choice
for chairman. nd it is the determination
that everything shall be done in an open
and above board manner. Mccormick
of Grand Forks, and Lowell, of Cass,
have hearty Endorsement for first and
second choice for governor with the
majority OF delegates now here. Lowell
being an alliance man and a practical
farmer this will have much to do with
his chances for nomination, and it is
very probable that he will be decided
on as the strongest man for the place.
In this event Mccormack will probably
be
GIVEN A CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION
or any other place he may desire. The
fact that CaSS county was so completely
snubbed at the hands of the Repub-
licans will be regarded as good cause
for recognition at the hands of the Dem
ocrats. Marshal Dan Marratta is also
prominently named for the place, but
he emphatlcally declines to entertain
the idea, but will probably consent to
go on the ticket in some other
place. For lieutenant governor,
Won Media, of Fargo, stands
good show, as does also Capt. Maginnis.
of Stutsman. In the event of Lowel's
uOlllllutlOH lOl SONCl lol W hdS- lhlIio III
doubt will be named. w. G. LeiSti-
kow, of Walsh. seems reasonably GER
tain of a congressional nomination
against Lausbrough, of Devils Lake.
Leistikow is miller of Grafton, and is
said to be worth cool million. A. S.
Froslid, of Iraill, has a splendid
Endorsement for the treasurer
ship, and, it is said, can
carry the northern counties solid.
For auditor, Noble, of BOttineau; Sefby.
of Trail; Odegaard, of Cass, and Saun
derhauf. of Richland, are prominently
mentioned. Purcell, of Richland, and
Miller of Fargo, seem to be general
favorites for The supreme court Judge
ship, and it is peculiarly noticeable that
delegates, with great unanimity, greet
Judge Mcconnell, the present district
Judge, with great cordiality, and he
seems to be great favorite.
