rights have been recognized and u del
egation has demonstrated the kind of
mettle it possesses. The writer of this,
though a member Of the delegation OF a
proxy, does not claim for himself any
credit for the happy result; but he must
praise without stint the unwearied efforts
of the other members, who through day
and night-with occasional meals OBJ
tanned in a rush-toiling upstairs and
down through the corridors and hall
ways of the hotel Dacotah-pacing the
streets to catch men on the run-getting
and giving points to and from one an
other-lobored on necessarily for the
| glory of the county. They had a single
object in view and only one object
glory for Morton county. They found
their sister counties on the slope always
with them.
Jamestown Capital: The personal,
mud-slinging war Hansbrough's paper,
the Devils Lake Inter Ocean, made on
johnson more than any other n thing
turned the political scale in Johnson's
favor as the Capital has repeatedly ad-
monished Mr.. Hansbrough and his
friends it would do So.

we're 297 votes cast-one delegate from
Foster county not voting. Thus 149 was
necessary to a choice. On the original
vote before changes were made there
we're 1861 for Johneon and 141H for
Hansbrough. Eddy changed 3, Morton
| 2 and Emmons 2 from Hansbrough to
Johnson giving him 1611s to 1853 for
Hansbrough.
The new railroad commission is COM
posed of good material Messrs. George
H. Walsh of Grand Forks, George w.
Harmon of Morton and Andrew Slotten
of Richland.

When Attorney-G General Goodwin
found that after all he had lone for the
Hansbrough-Miller people, he was not in
the deal for the future, he very naturally
waxed warm under the collar. His coun-
ty lost no time in getting back into the
Johnson fold-after the first struggle for
temporary chairman.

No one could be better pleased with
the result than Major Edwards. He did
valient work for johnson and having
been a warm friend and champion of
Burke all the way through, he came in
for a large share of congratulation upon
his return to Fargo. He was entitled to
it. Even the Republican says-sarcas-
tically, of course-"The reception to
Major Edwards and Captain Burke last
evening was a grand affair.""

The Fargo Republican is still harping
on the "old gang" 1t says: 9
"To the victors belong the spoils." The
ola gang nave conLTOl Ol Ine state once
more.
Why don't the Republican accept the
declaration made by Colonel Plummer in
the convention, that "the old gang is
dead and the new gang never was born?"

Walsh county-the third county in
wealth and population in the s~tate-here-
tofore disregarded by state conventions
and minus a public institution-has at
last got her reward. She has two good
positions on the state ticket. The
whole Missouri slope stood with Walsh
for whatever she wanted, because she

the way Grand Forks is a beautiful city.
All North Dakotana are proud of the
metropolis.

the convention and announced the result
ten hours before the arrival of the Fargo
