Bismarck has had many circuses but
none to equal the proceedings of the
county democratic convention which
met at the court house Saturday after
loon. The audience was not large but
it was appreciative and responsive.

moon that all was not as harmonious as
the five gentlemen who met and got up

traces, but still there were those who

endorsement of an alleged independent
ticket was Il mite too much for even
some Of the strongest democratic stom-
achs, but a majority had been put to
