HANSBRoUcH.
The Senator Received the Cau-
Gus N0mination-Great
Harmony.
1t Was Band Wagon From
the Start-Robinson'S
Views.
Impossible to Get Opposition
to Hansbrough to Act
Together.

BISMARCK, N. D. Jan. H. Especial -
The republican caucus Saturday night
chose to vote for Senator Hans brough as
his own successor Speaker Williams
called the caucus to order, sixty y-seven
members responded-every republican
In both branches.
Representative Murphy nominated
Hansbrough and said the great republi-
can victory in the state was largely owing
to Hansbrough's work and that when
man had proved true in congress he
should be returned. John McGlnnis of
Stutsman seconded the nomination
along with others.
Mr.. Francis of Cass county was uomi-
mated by Senator l.. 3. Hanna, seconded
by Strom ct Trail. The first informal
ballot gave Hansbrough 49. Francis Is,
Hanna 2, Haggart l. Senator Hans
brough appeared and thanked the COM
mttee, and the senatorial fight, from
which so much entertain ment has been
expected, was over.
The success of the Hansbrough forces
in organizing both houses has created a
general impression that the band wagon
is ready to start, and that it is time to
climb on. A call for a republican eau
Gus to meet on Saturday night will be
issued IN the morning, which looks as
though the Hansbrough men were
anxious to take advantage of the present
groundswell before it has time to spend
its force. A report has been circulated
that Col. Robinson and Jud LaMoure
We're ready to throw up their hands and
allow harmony to reign, but those gen.
temen deny its correctness, and claim
that they will be able to secure the
election of man who has some convic-
tions that he will not change over night.
J. NJ. Cochrane of Grand Forks IS here
but ls very little in evidence, and there
are signs that his boom for senator has
had it's day and IS ready to be laid to rest
in Denny Hannafn's graveyard. Editor
Wlnship is quoted as saying that within
couple OF days tue opposition to Hans
brough will be organized and concen.
trated, but when asked who the man
would be he only looked mysterious and
said nothing. TX Senator Pierce is here
but says he 10 not interested in the St ma
torlal fight, but is gong back TO Mime
apolis.
An informal democratic caucus was
held today and Senator McCanna elected
chairman. A committee of two was
appointed to see the presiding officers Of
the two houses about minority represen-
tation on the committees, which are
expected 70 be announced Saturday. The
general opinion seemed to be that the
fusionists should stand pat on the
senatorship.
1t is claimed that Senators Haggsrt
and Tufts, and Representatives Francis
and Hawk Of Oass county, will vote for
Hansbrough IN spite OF the Argus fulmi-
nations, and it is also whispered that
from now on the Argus will quit pound
ing Hansbrough as it has done for two
months past.

posed that under our constitution no
man could be declared guilty of a grave
offenee without being given an oppor-
tunity to be heard and defend himself.
Yet this is what the republican men,
bers Of the senate committee have prac-
tically done with regard to every
member of the precinct election board
Of the Third ward of jamestown.
They have decided that B. w. Fuller
was defrauded of 18 votes out OF the
1876 cast IN that ward, which though
they may not say 90 in go many words
carries with it the logical conclusion
that the members OF the board did not
make q correct return.
On Friday last TIE Alert published
the statements Of the members Of the
precinct board regarding the correctness
of the count, and the belief that the
bsllots had been tampered with since
they counted them. These statements
we're laid before the committee, but they
claimed it was too late. A motion was
made by Senator McCanna that before
the case was closed these men be
brought here and allowed to testify.
The republicans voted down the
motion on the ground Of expense to the
state.
The report was presented to the
senate yesterday afternoon, and imme-
diate action demanded. Usually such
reports are made special order for q
later day, so they can be printed IN the
senate journal and members can be
familiar with them before being called
upon to vote.
Yesterday the most extraordinary
thing occurred, showing the high handed
way the plan to unseat Sanford was to
have been carried out. The president
announced all OF the committees Except
the election committee already an
nounced), and gave Mr.. Fuller place
on the committees just as il he was al
ready q sitting member and before the
report had been read to the senate. Mr..
Santord's name was not mentioned.
Shortly after the announcements the
majority and minority reports we're read
and the matter made special order for
today. as reported IN these columns yes.
terday, by vote Of IA to 13.
Mr.. Sanford was very sick with cold
on bis lungs Saturday night aud Sunday
and unfit to attend to anything. Mr..
White gave this az reason for bis sub
stltute to defer the matter until today.
There was much comment by republl-
cans as we'll az fusion members OF an
unfavorsble nature on the appointment
OF Fuller on committees before the SEP.

National Republican LIE ague.

DETROIT, Mich, June 1l.-Prepara-
tions for the reception of the delegates
to the national republican league con
vention are already in a large measur e
completed. The number of republicans
of national prominence who will take
part in the proceedings will be very
large. Among the aspirants for the
presidency are Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York; Edward Green, of Texas;
Marcus Pollosky, of Chicago; L. J.
Crawford, of Kentucky and Colonel
George Stone of San Francisco. All
delegates to the coming convention
must be in accord with the ST. Louis
platform, and arrangements are in pro-

al committees in states where it has
become apparent that the old organi-
zation is no longer in control of repub-
licans whose views coincide with those
of the party leaders.
