Tho Coming Congressman.
M;tcholl Rar,hl;c.c


The Republican has sufficiently defined
its position as to the fitness of Delegate
Pettigrew to be his own successor in con.
gress, and it desires at this time to give
Its views on the question of who should
receive the support Of the large element
Of Dakota republicans who are opposed
to him. We believe the interests Of the
territory would be carefully and ably
attended to by any one of the half dozen
men whose names have been brought
forward, and we agree with the earnest
supporters of Secretary Hand and of
Hon. Alex. Hughes, who perhaps, are
most prominently mentioned in this
connection, that either one of them
would make. an admirable representa-
tive. But there are sections of the terri
tory where these men and their merits
are not SO we'll known and from
whence other names will doubtless be
presented when the convention shall
have assembled, and it is not reasonable
to expect these sections to atonce unite
on candidate brought forward from
another locality. Thus far, however,
none OF the supporters of any one can
didate have taken the ground that he,
and he alone was worthy the support of
the convention, and therein will lie the
strength sh OF the anti; ;Pettigrew delegates.
We believe they will go to the conven-
tion with the firm determination to nom.
mate man who shall represent, and
with this in view will waive all personal
preferences when it becomes necessary.

THE PETrIGREw METHOD.


A Reminiscence Of the Contest of Two
Years Ago.
Correspondence Sioux Falls Argus.
Two years ago it was common to see
in the papers throughout the territory
the remark that Pettigrew could not
carry his own county. 1t is not out of
place even at this late day to let little
light upon his methods, and it is but
fair to presume that his course in this
township is but q sample of his acts in
other parts. Two years ago the town.
ships in this county were unorganized
and there was no one authorized by
the republican party to call caucus in
this township. Mr.. Pettigrew took it up
on himself to attend to the matter.
knowing that the leading republicans
we're opposed to him, he appointed three
OF the most prominent democrats
can committee to cali a Caucus
to elect a delegate to attend the conven.
tion. The caucus by some mistake or
oversight (?) was called in harvest and
but few knew of it until it was over,
-Four democrats and MIR. Pettigrew com.
posed the caucus and there being no one
present willing to go as delegate, a
man was elected who would not go and
Mr.. Pettigrew appointed as his snbsti-
tute Sioux Falls man that favored him.
Tom Kelly, chairman of the meeting,
SAID it was disgrace enough to be chair.
man of republican caucus without be.
ing sent as delegate to republican con.
vention. Mr.. Pettigrew's course caused
him to lose friends in this town as he
practically ignored the republicans Of
this section. He claims to not be famil-
lar with the ways of politicians, but this
looks as though he was familiar with
cheek.

POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

Opinions from High Sources-The Attorney
General and the Secretary of the Treas.
ury.
Washington, July 25-The substance
OF the attorney generals opinion on po-
litical assessments, presented to the cab
met to-day. is that officers of the govern
ment should be prohibited from solicit
ing or receiving such assessments; that
members of congress, in the broad sense
of the term, are officers of the govern.
ment, but that in a strict constitutional
sense, and under former rulings of con-
gress, they are not officers. He quotes
from the constitution of the United
States. and from the statutes in various
places, showing that the distinction be.
tween the terms "officer" and "member
OF congress" is clearly made. He holds
that the section forbidding the receipt OF
political assessments is intended to ap.
ply only to inferior officers of the govern.
ment, and concludes: am of the opin.
ion that member OF congress is not an
officer of the government within the
meaning of that section.
The secretary Of the treasury, in let.
ter to Mr.. Thomas, after citing the con.
clusions of the attorney-general, adds:
