GRAND FORKS, n. D., March 90
The business men of this are Thoroughly
awake TO their interests as the meeting
OF Monday night showed. The turnout
was larger than any which has been
held by the business men of the city,
and will be the cause of much good. A
permanent orgaAiZatjon will be formed
next week, and money collected with
which to advertise the natural advant-
ages of the Red river valley and Grand
Forks III particular. The principal por-
ton of the work Of the organization
will be directed to getting immigrants
to stop in Dakota instead of going
through to the Pacific coast where they
would be worse off than if they had re-
manned where they come from. Almost
every day carloads CT immigrants are
passing through this city for points on
the coast which have been doomed al
though some few car loads have been
induced to stop here, and they in turn
are beginning to see the folly of going
further, and will use their efforts to Sc
cure immigration to this point.
SOCIAL. MATTERS
have been very quiet, but Wednesday
evening the annual meeting of the
Presbyterian church was held, and S.
S. Titus, George Bull and Ii. G. Men
denhall were elected trustees for the
year. The Ladies' Aid society collected
during the year over $500, which was
spent for the poor. The members of the
East Grand Forks church presented
Rev. III. G. Mendenhall with an elab-
crate plush chair. after they had for
mally acknowledged the receipt of the
church property and three lots which
Mr.. MeEdenhall had presented to them
Sunday night.
Politics has been the principal sub
iect occupying the minds of the people.
The Second ward started the ball rolling
Monday night by the Republicans hold
ing quiet caucus and putting A. j.
Hidden forward as their candidate for
present incumbent, O. HOxOm. The
First ward kept time with the balance
of the city and nominated their candi-
date Wednesday night, renominating
Peter Rider, who had no opposition
whatever. The Third ward simply said
jim Ryan. and that settled it. He was
nominated.
The Fourth ward had the circus and
| hitch which will bode no good to the
Republican party. Col. G.. b. ingalls, is
the present councilman from that ward,
| and considered good politician and a
straight Republican. Ed Kennedy was
pitted against him in the caucus, and
carried the nomination by one vote. the
ballots being Kennedy 90. Ingalls, 25.
1t was thought by everybody that In
gals would abide by the caucus. but he
came out in card saying at the request
of his friends he was candidate for the
position of councilman from the Fourth
ward. This is considered SOreheadiSm,
| as Kennedy secured the nomination
fairly, and expected the support of the
party. Ingalls, was we'll thought of,
but the prospects are he will not be
elected unless Kennedy withdraws, and
he says he will stick to the caucus until
he rises or falls.
SORE HEADS WILL BE OUT
in full force on Monday, cutting and
siashing their respective tickes, and
will clearly show upon the surface that
which is now visible on the inside
kicking among the Republican party.
The untimely and uncalled for re-
moval of Capt. Mccormack as secre-
tary Of the territory, was felt more
Thursday than any time since the trick
was performed. He returned to the
city Thursday and quietly took up his
duties rs private citizen. He will not
remain long out of public life, however,
as the people of North Dakota will call
for him as the first governor of the new
state. and he will respond with record
of public and private life which will be
the peer of any man that can be named.
The people will seat him with an over
whelming majority, which will be his
just reward for his faithful services to
the people of Dakota.
Tie interest with which the Demo-
cratic party is being viewed and gain
ing ground can be justly estimated by
the prompt issuing of call to celebrate
anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson. Public attention is drawn
closely to April 2, when several speak
ers of prominence will give facts and
figures and set forth the justice and
beauties of the Democracy as laid down
by the author of the Declaration of In
dependence. A rousing meeting will
be held OH Tuesday evening at the court
house, and it is expected there will not
be room enough to accommodate the
members Of the party and those who
Will be admitted on probation, not to
speak of the converts, who will surely
be numerous ere the revival is over.
