Sioux CITY Journal

Sioux City journal.
Col. W. H. Parker, who was chairman Of
the republican territorial convention al,
Yankton whereat Judge Bennett was nom
mated for congress, has gone over to the
support of Bartlett Tripp, the democratic
candidate. The Black Hills papers explain
Col Parker's disafe ction on the ground Of
disappointments In local politics. AT the
time Of the Yankton% convention some of
the Black Hills delegates reported that Col.
Parker was made the chairman because
be was u little shaky and that that would
anchor him-conciliate him. But it sppears
that it requires q great deal to concilitte
Col. Parker. Trip caught him at about
that stage Of the proceedings when The
republicans bad exhausted their resources
or bad become sufficiently disguised ia
quit. The republicans made q mistake In
trying to stiffen him by honorinv him with
the Craftsmanship of the convention. They
simply placed it in Col. Parker's power to
injure them, and, under the guiding bsnt
of Lawyer Tripp, be is now using tina
power. If Col. Parker did III wish TO b,
bound BY the action of the Yankton con.
%vention (and he knew the purrose of thos'
who made him the chief officer of tina
conveDt,on) he should not az an honorable
man, have accepted the presidency of tn,
body. The course he has chosen to Dur
sue may help Trip: Tripp, from what b
says undoubtedly thinks it will. but Co,
Parker has certainly done himself . per
sonal injury from which he can hsrdl
recover IN the future politics Of Dakota.

THE REPUBLICAN, LOCAL TICKET

The gentlemen composing the Yankton
county republican ticket are so we'll and
favorably known to the people interested
in their election as to demand little more
than the mere presentation of their names
as candidates to secure the united and
hearty support Of the people. Without an
exception they are men who have In various
public capacities shared, and never betray-
cd, public confidence. They are men whose
interests are thoroughly identified with
fankton County, who have an intelligent
appreciation of the needs of our county and
the ability to work for them. The entire
list shows no name against whom any sub
s.antlal reason can be urged. As We glance

Stutsman county is conceded to Tripp by

err Dakota a clear majority of 900. These
figures are not the result of guess work,
but come from athorough system for ascer.

been in these counties a large increase in
the vote since the last election. 1t is esti-
mated that Cass county will poll 1000
votes, Pembina 600, Grand Forks 600,

The jamestown Alert says it has been Of
fered one hundred dollars to support the
cause of Trip during the balance Of the
campaign, the paper to be placed under
editorial charge Of two democrats. But the
pre- prietor of the Alert, unlike the m.rce-
nary owners Of several other traitorous Da-
kota newspapers, says he will have none Of
it. His principles he values above price,
and Tripp'. bushel tempts him not. Buying
support with money was Tilden's great
crime and for it he is forever disgraced.
These transactions furnish brief enthusiasm
but their strength is notof the enduring sort.

Agreed to by the house, and Senator
Merrimon moved TO refer the bill and
amendments to the Judiciary committee e.
Mr.. Beck objected to the motion al d
demanded the yeas and nays. He
thought the house amendments should
be concurred in and the bill passed.
Mr.. CoDkling favored the reference ,
and said that in this body any commit

there would be no loss by a reference.
Mr.. Beck opposed a reference upon
the ground that if any good was to grow
out of the passage Of the bill the sooner
it be passed the better. All sorts Of
fraudulent petitions we're nav being filed
by persons TO take advantage Of this
bankrupt Law before its repeal.
