REVIEW OF $. THE FRAUDS AT
WORK.

umuS OF your paper, tue privilege Vi re-
plying to an article which appeared 10
the (Yankton) Union and DdkotiaM Of
the 1!h ins.., entitled, FRAUDS at Work"
Tue article under consideration, from the
weI.-known custom Of its writer, Geo. w.
Hug sbury, OF faIsiIyi"g and misrepre-
senlins whatever subject upon which he
writes, at,I from his Chamelon-like
habits, woul no, be deemed worthy Of
even n passing notice, only that it may
p.rchancc, be read BY some who are un-
acquainted with that gentleman (?) and
his peculiar iaiIings. The article is pre-.
faced as follows:
"Ou Thursday Of las, week, Fl. C..
Ash and Dr. f. WiAson came to our Office
and procured the printing of some hand
bills, OF which the following is a copy:
Citizens EeetinJ-lha citizens of
Yankton county are requested to meet at
the All Hotel On the evening Of the 3Oth
inst, FRIDAY EVENING" for the purpose Of
considering matters relative to the over-
land travel TO the gold mines"
Ia speaking Of the meeting, in pursu-
ance of the above notice, Mr.. X. adds:
owe had iguorantly supposed the
object of the meeting was that advertised
in the bills.
Aud again:
"Tho subject Of overland travel to tho
gold mines was not once alluded to by
the getters up Of the meeting, and it Is
tair 10 presume their primary intention
was to perpctrate ~ swiudle.'
Mr., Ash aii not only did procure the
printing Of the hand-bi.ls, but acted in
concert with majority Of the good,
reliable citizens of Yankton, in getting
up the meeting, tho action Of which
meeting we fully endorse.
The object u the meeting was co"cissly
explained by the chairman Of the oess-
ing, Hon. ID. T. Bramble and the subse.
qusos action Of the meeting shows that
all present, save the Union e. OAK otisu"
mao, regards it as relative to matters
Very intimately connected with the cover
land travel to the gold tniues.'
The contemplated establishment Of =
military post a. the north base Of the
Black Hills, in an Indian country, inter
mediate between this and the gold fields
Of Montana and Idaho, was regarded by
the meeting as equivalent. to opening up
a route to those new Territories and he
who regards the matter in any other lish.
must be willully blind.
Mr.. Einssbury very easily sees "swin.
die" in this movement Of the people
doubtless fer the same reason the hunter
imagined he saw coon in the tree,
when in reality it was bu,a "wee creepin
thing" before his own eyes, intercepting
his vision. If some Of the "swindls
was out Of Ks. own head, he would
doubtless see people more honest.
Ii is true, the people, with but solitary
exception, did endorse General Sully, in
that meeting, and regarded him as the
fright man in the right place." Aud
this had ever been the sentiment Of the
citizens in regard to the General but
such statement could never find room
could not be expressed through the Union
& Dukotiaa We're it otherwise, we would
not be compelled to send every article,
co-incidlng with, Or vindica,ing General
su''y, TO Sioux City, for publication.
There was no such issue at our election
last fall, as mentioned by K, or he never
would have been elected. What Geo
~ kngstuTy and GENERAL SviLr, the
great issue a. our las, falls election .
Bah /! "See how we apples swim!' Ger
tainly it comes with poor grace for him
to boast Of his e!eelion,-and We venture
to say, that i: he Is ever re. elected he will
have to move to some county if any such
there beg where dozen votes would give
him iarge mgjorily. Boast Of his cleo
ton! The devil might brag that he had
once been in heaven, but We wouldn't
thiak anything the more Of him for that
