strong effort to induce the Northern

Fargo Forum: The indications grow
stronger daily that the republican leg
islators will not go into a caucus of
their party, and the result will be that
the disgraceful scenes Of former years
will be re-enacted at Bismarck this
coming session. The claim of the dem
ocrats, that although in the minority,
they will name the next senator. seems
a Justifiable one.
