Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1892-09-15

With the exceptions OF congressman
and two of the presidential electors the
above is the same ticket placed in nomi-
nations by the independents at Valley
City. The action OF the state demo.
cratic convention. which closed it's labors
last night, opens up the first movement
of this character ever witnessed in Da-
kota politics, anu the result is left en-
tirely to speculation. They used as
their main argument that they had
nothing to loose, and better opportu.
nifty would never be rife to avail them
selves of so fattering situation.
The convention assembled shortly
after II O'Clock yesterday forenoon,

pointed Messrs. Mccormack, Kinter
and Campbell to conduct the temporary
chairman to the platform. He made

aroused the enthusiasm of his hearers
to high pitch by abiding to the VIC
tory which he claimed awaited the
party in this campaign. He pictured in
glowing colors the character Of the
