Huron Huronite.
That NehemiahG. Ordway, who holds
the highest official position in the great
territory of Dakota, is the most utterlv
desplsed citizen W ithin it's limits. is fast
becoming an indisputable fact. We
hfmly believe that the most sacred at
tribute OF mankind is character: and
that the individual who, wilfullv and
Without cause, attacks it, is guilty of
crime, far mere than he who DESTROYS
property.
With such a belief, and knowing fun
Wen the universal disposition to attack
Official character without just cause, we
cannon longer refrain from expressing
our contempt for the executive who is
curse TO our commonwealth, and a
stain upon the administration which
continues him in power.
From the condition of circumstau-
ces When Weaentered the territory, we
were naturally inclined to a friendly
feeling toward the governor. A closer
acquaintance with his methods weak
ened u faith, until the last vestige of
respect disappeared with the appoin-
ment OF his o as territorial auditor.
Rullors OF his corrupt scheming con-
tlnually came to ears, and the carr
est aflirMations of intimate personal
acquaintance, from newly organized
counties, confirmed beyond a question
the WGrst that has been said oh him
The lluronite has no grudge against
OrdWay. 1t has never desired or been
refused anything from the hands of Ell
ther himself or his friends. and the
present expression is only that which.
as a public journal, it feels it's duty to
make known. 1t publishes an article
from Hyde county-Where it has many
f~rlends-to show theintensity of feel
ing there. That from the Press and
Dakotaian is fully sustained by the
previous personal assurance from one
OF the most prominent territorial Off
clals, that he had positive personal
knowledge that the governor was mott
fed Of the condition and full import of
the railway bill before he signed it.
Direct information from Faulk and
other counties is Of such character as
to utterly condemn the scheming trick
ster who is continued in official control
OF a people who detest the very name
he bears.
We hope the petitions which are be-
ing circulated for his immediate reno
val in some localities, will h%ereinforc-
ed from every community, and that the
remarkable extent Of the uhpopularity
OF the governor he promptly made
known at Washington. Such action
may at least go far toward reducing his
power to do further harm to the people
whom he disgraces.

TILE INUIANA CAMPAIGM.


It IL time to recall to the recollection OF the
peopIe the real political situation in 1880.
As soon az the last Republican State Govern
ment in the South surrendered in 1877 the
couspiracy to make that section solid for the
Democratic party was carried into effect. To
complete this resort was had to the most revolt
ing crimes known to the law. Stealing, per-
iury. murder were the instruments called in to
aid in the new Democratic rebellion. From
sixteen States of the Union the Republican party
was thrust out and denied its legal lights
OF the 1873 electoral votes these States were to
cast the Republicans could not hope to receive
a single one. At least six OF tro States were
undoubtedly Republican. South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas
with free vote and fair count would have
cast their electoral votes as surely for General
Garfield as Pennsylvania. And when the South
had thus been made solid by fraud and bull
doing, the Democracy Haunted these 13S
electoral votes in the face OF the intelligent
voters of the North, and with the insolence OF n
Tweed asked What are you going TO do about
II ~ This IL the situation the Republicans
were compelled to confront three years ago.
Let MS see how they met it. Twenty years
before the same States which were solid for
the Democracy in 1880 had risen in rebellion,
and, abetted by the Democratic party, tined
to shoot the Government to death. The Re-
publican party then appealed to the patriotism
and generosity Of the people, and under It's
leadership the life of the Nation was saved.
million men answered its sunlmons and thou
sands of millions of dollars were poured out to
save the Government from destruction.
| Again in 1880 the Republican party gave a
new exhibition of its courage when 1t was
| called upon to meet another Democratic rebel
| lion, this time carried on under the forms OF
| law. To vanquish it the intelligent North must
| be relied upon alone. This time men were not
called from the workshop and the field and
asked to shoulder o musket to defend the
! Government of their schoice. A less osteLta-
tious but none the less Important task had to
be undertaken. TIE voters of the North had
to be aroused TO the purposes of this conspiracy
the vote had to be brought out. the organiza-
ton to be perfected, and tho whole Kentucky
border patruiled, to prevent colonization
ON election day. Again the Republican party
