BISMARCK, OAK, Aug. 12.-The COM
mittee on revision and adjustment has
completed its work, and complete con-
stltutiOn will be submitted to the con-
vention tomorrow. 1t is hardly safe to
give synopsis of the constitution at
present, as many amendments are re-
commended by the committee and in
all probability will be made. Among
these is the recommendation to strike
out the section, providing that no cor
pOratlOn shall keep or issue blacklist
TO prevent laboreTS from securing en-
pioyment. The reason given for Strik-
ing out this clause is that it conflicts
with section nine of the bill of rights,
which provides that every person shall
have the right to freely speak his
thoughts or opinions The committee
also recommends the striking out of the
section providing tor township organ
lZatlOn, on the ground that it is am
-biguous and confusing. A number of
delegates returned to the city to-day,
and the convention will reassemble to-
morrow. Those who returned from
jamestown and Grand Forks, the
points where INDIGNATION meetings have
been held because of the location of the
public institutions, give amusing ac-
counts of the proceedings. At James
town it was claimed that Attorney Gen
eral Nickeus was the prime mover in
bringing about the Indignation meet
ing, and yet he had not word of CEN
sure after the delegates arrived on the
scene. He arrived here to-day and says
that Bismarck has always been his
choice for the capital provided James
town could not get 1t. Mathews, of
Grand Forks. who led the opposition to
the location of the institutions, says he
never has been for jamestown, believ-
ing that the capital should be at Grand
Forks, and yet these are the only points
in North Dakota where indignation
meetings have been held and the only
places that agree inTs -
THE FIGHT AGAINST BISMARCK.
1t is expected that large committees
from these places will arrive tomorrow
to attempt 70 change the vote when it
comes to the final adoption of the con-
situation, and some lively times may be,
Witnessed. AS the article locating thes
public institutions has already been
adopted by the convention and
the motion to reconsider laid on
the table, it is difficult to see how they
expect another vote on it unless the
CUluIlllItCC VII ICHlSiO1l ICCODl-
mend changes. This the committee
does not intend to do. The Grand Forks
people are evidently deceived by the
fact that the constitution is to be acted
upon by the convention after returning
from the committee on revision. This
is so with all that went from the COM
mittee of the whole to the committee On
revision, but the article locating the
public institutions was adopted by the
convention, and not by the committee of
the whole. If the fight on the cOnstitu-
ton is reopened, 1t will be some time
before the convention adjourns. 1t is
the opinion of a majority that Grand
Forks and jamestown were not candi-
dates for the capital. Their indignation
over the policy of the convention in
locating the public institutions might
have weight. but as all the disinter-
ested localities are pleased. and as tele-
grams OF approval are pouring In from
all portions of the state, 1t is believed
the convention will pay very little at
tentien to the howl of the defeated.
CASS COUNTY is SATISFIED.
