Caldwell Reitera,es

Sioux Falls Press: The revelations Of
the Press regarding corrupt propositions
made three years ago to E. w. Caldwell
of the Sioux Falls Pantagraph, by n. G.
Ordway to assist him in securing politi-
cal power in this territory. has attracted
large attention even in the face of the
universal knowledge that Ordway's
whole political career has been ole Of
rascally iobbery and fraud. 1t may
not be possible to "gill refined gold or
paint the lily" but it seems to have
been practicable to add an increased
blackness to the damnab!e reputation
which blasted liar, unscrupulous
bulldozer and consummate scamp like
n. g. Ordway already enjoyed. But up
unto such reeking mass of political
corruption arises a scrubber who under
takes to present MIN to this people as a
pure and sweet and upright and honest
man, the noblest work Of God! This
mopping and wiping scayenger is Z. L.
Cressey, of the Huron Leader.
In his paper of Sept. 26 he defends
Ordway against the revelations made
concerning his corruption and prints a
statement made by tho governor denying
the proposition made by him. The
matter has therefore simmered down
to question of veracity between
z. W. Caldwell and n. G. Ordway. Now
then Mr.. Caldwell is perfectly willing
to stand by the public verdict in an is.
sue of this kind. He has been too many
years in Dakota to fear the outcome.
1t his reputation for truthfulncss and
common honesty is not by this time
sufficiently well established to give il
standing against the assertions of :
| man Of such character as n. G. Ordway
he must fall sooner or later. aud may a.
well go down now as any time. He re-
| iterates what he has previously said
| concerning the base proposals of Ord
way to HIM, and leaves the public tc
judge which of the two is entitled tc
credence
