Bismarckers at Fargo.

s. Bismarckers at Fargo.
1T think" said a gentleman, who
stopped over a day in Fargo, shat your
city is about as we'll represented in
Fargo as any in the state. ran across
Bismarckers at every corner, and they
seemed busy, as were the rest of the
visitors in speculation.
II saw J. F. Philbrick, as he mean
"dered along the avenues, and discussed
affairs with others Of state delegates.
His face wore it's usual look of beaming
good humor, and his mood was evil
IDENTIFY a happy one. He is considered
by Fargoites as the Apollo Of the con-
vention, although, of course, with his
usual modesty, he says nothing, and
would probably refuse to admit the com.
.pliment, were he confronted with the
facts. Shortly after greeting John, I
al across a gentleman, whom, at first
sight, I took for T. B. Reed Of Maine,
and I could almost imagine that I was
again in the auditorium at Minneapolis.
This was chairman Boucher. But N. F.
seemed in a sort of hurry to get away,
and business shone from his sparkling
eyes, like the glow of the June bug, so
we didn't talk long. I neglected to ask
him if he intended to hunt up the man
who mentioned him in the Fargo Repub-
lican, as N. F. Boucher, but, as I did not
hear Of any reporters having met with
sudden death, I conclude that he over
looked it.
"Another Bismarcker who attracts con-
siderable attention, is the versatile
Dennis Hannifn. Denny is calculating
upon the formation of a suicide club,
after the defeated candidates are laid
out, and he is on thu scene early, with
his articles Of incorporation.
"Clerk Hoskins was the next Bis
marcker whom I ran across. He was
seated in the midst of a select group,
and expounding some important doc
trines, or at least so I accounted for his
frequent gestures and burning elo-
,quence. He was so wrapped up in his
discourse that I had not the heart to in
terrupt him, so passed by in awestruck
silence.
'The well-known figure of Gen. VIM.
A. Bentley next attracted my gaze, and
after a pleasant greeting I hurried
across the street to greet Delegate
Hughes, who was engaged in friendly
discussion of state affairs in general
with a group of Fargo's representative
business men After leaving him, I fell
in with Editor Tuttle, who is probably
the most formidable rival of Philbrick for
the title Of the Apollo of the v
ton. Mr.. Tuttle was tramping, with
measured footsteps toward his dining
place at the Columbia and we parted
with a 'Hurrah for the Missouri slope
among the Bismarckers on the
scene are Henry Tatley and wife, M. h.
Jewell, Superintendent Ogden, @. M.
Dahl, W. o. DePuy, J. F. Fort. R. N.
Stevens, also, was down from your city,
and all seem busy as bees.
1.-THE Mandan delegation seem to favor
the spacious parlors and sumptuous
elegance of the Headquarters, and there
were to be seen F. A. Briggs, H. R.
Lyon, Joe Miller, A. M. Packard, and
others Of Mandan's Appolinic delegates.
Bismarckers seem to admire the regal
magnifcence Of the Columbia, and are
to be found there, when not outside,
busy with conventional affairs.
II am sorry I can't give you any def
mite information regarding prospects,
but, like one of your Bismarckers, whom
1 questioned, I am non-committal. I
asked the one, to whom I refer, what, in
his opinion, was the prospect, and he
placed n finger on his eye, pulled the
lower lid down, 81 that I could get a
good look at the inside and see if there
was anything green there, and then i'm
burnened himself of a load of knowledge
as follows: If Burke or Allin can't get
the nomination, I am OF the opinion
that twill. go to some other man. AS
regards the rest of the ticket, the can
didates who have the most votes will
get the nominations. I think the
Missouri slope will get it's share of rep
resentation, if all the Offices don't 20 to
the eastern contingent Then he looked
at me with 9 grave pitying smile, said
he hoped now understood the way
things stood, and walked away, leaving
me stunned and dazzled at the receipt Of
such q startling amount Of indefinite in
