Chairmanships for Democrats.
BISMARCK, N. d., July 1.-THE om-
nibus bill made no regular provision for

will officiate in that capacity during the
sehions of the constitutional convention.

By request of the convention Governor
Mellette delivered an address, in the
course of which he emphatically de-
nounced the frauds on the ballot in mod
ern times and urged the closest attention
to keeping il down here, and the man
who buys, as he who sells vote, should
be made to suffer to the full extent. He
indorsed the secret ballot and the hearty
applause from all the delegates gave
good indication of the feeling in that

to the reported ihaccuracy Of the bound
ary line between North and South Da-
kota and moved that the joint commits
sion of the two sections be authorized to
effect temporary agreement regarding
that line, which motion was made q
special for the next day. Rev. X. G..
i Wiley, of the National Reform associa-
tion, by request, addressed the conven-
tion in favor Of the incorporation in the
bill of rights of the new constitution Of
q recognition of the civil Sabbath and of
the Almighty Ruler and Savior Of the
