ceded his election by 900 for weeks, and

DICKINSON PRESS: Mr.. &C. Moore of
Mercer county. the republican nominee
for representative, is a young man we'll
calculated to represent the farmers in the
legislature. He was among the early set
tiers of Mercer county, and at present
holds the Office of sheriff, to which he was
elected by almost the solid vote of his
county, which is sufficient evidence of his
popularity at home. We can recommend
him as an honest republican worthy the
hearty support of the people.
FARGO ARGUS: Honest John Mcmillan
for long time chairman of the board of
commissioners of Richland county-a
farmer and good citizen, is out in favor of
the constitution. "Uncle John" argues
that-even if it is not exactly all that was
expected or desired. let us be thankful the
agony is passed, and future legislators are
excused from the job. In conclusion
Uncle John" remarks:
While those who did:not get the "persim-
mons will make capital out of the thing,
the the same dissatisfaction would be in store
for them in the future. 1t would be reck-
less extravaganza to throw away 100000
in the change of the capital from Bismarck
to any other place, and the other institu-
tl0ns are reasonably we'll located. Let us
accept the constitution and the prohibition
hOnored and honorable John Miller at its
head.

the contest. And it is this class Of men
that Marshall will aim to represent in the
state senate. His record as republicans
as bright and clear as the MONDAY sun.
Marshall is a great favorite, and will call
out every republican vote this fall.
