Press Regarding Dakota's Governor.

graceful "blotches."
WITHOUT HONOR.
Onida Journal: A gentleman in Onida
wants to secure Dakota paper which
indorses Governor Ordway. We have
been unable to discover even one among
all our exchanges from the beginning
even until the present day. Verify, veri.
~, land speculating governor has not
honor. even in his own territory.
| KISSED ON THE STREETS.
Mitchell Mail: Governor Ordway was
hissed on the streets of Fargo the other
day. The only town in the territory
where a particle of respect is shown our
executive, is Bismarck, and this is in
consideration OF the part he took in
stealing the seat of government for them.
AS IA COUNTY ORGANIZER.
Gettysburg Herald: The governor
does not seem to be any more popular as
an organizer of counties than he was last
and Hyde counties are very indignant
and impatient on account of the delay in
their organization, and not without Just
cause.
HIS CUssEDSEss.

delegate election next Wednesday. Turn
out and let us have full vote. Remem.
Der that only through admission have
we now a sure way OF relief from Ord
ways cussedness.
ALL BROKE UP.
Canton Advocate: Ordway is all broke
up, as most of the diabolical schemes he
has been concocting the past year has
come to naught.
GIVE HIM TIME.
Plankinton Free Press: Gov. Ordway
is getting down to business again and is
tending to the organization of several
counties IN the territory which were
entitled to that privilege six months ago.
Oh, the old man will get around after
awhile Give him time, but keep punch.
ing him up little.
HEROIC TREATMENT.
Letcher Blade: Those who have read
the Blade Of late may be surprised to
learn OF the appointment of commission.
ers favorable to Letcher. The only way
to get anything out of Ordway is to buy
him or pound him on the back. The
Blade took the Inter alternative.
TO ARRANGE FOR A SHARE.
| Canton Advocate: Some of our ex-
changes are calling upon Governor
Ordway, to rise and explain why he so
long. oh! SO long delays the organization
of certain new counties that were created
by the last legislature. Roberts county
people for instance are exceedingly aux
lous, ms in their present unfortunate con.
aition they are evidently outlawed.
Other papers are inquiring for his excel.
lency's whereabouts as it seems impossi.
bic to catch Lin on the ty. These new
counties, now the Letcher excitement is
over, may be visited in time by Wilkins,
johnson or some other henchman and
arrange for share in county seat loca.

DIvY PROMPTLY.
Brookings Press: About half dozen
counties which have the requisite popu.
lation, want organization and are howl.
ing at the governor because they don't
!, get it. The town cite proprietols should
not be so pa1simonious but should ''d,vy'
promptly with the old gentleman.
THE AID SECURED.
Opida Journal: Clifton started ou,
well. 1t got Colonel Ordway interested
III the town sight; it secured the gov
ernor's powerful aid in organizing the
county; it obtained the county seal
without either exertion or petition. But
it lost the respect of the people, anG
without that it will lose all. Moral
"Honesty is the best policy"
SAVE YOURSELVES.
Milwaukee Herald: Every vote mex,
Wednesday is a protest against the fur
ther foisting of N. G. Ordway upon the
people OF Dakota. Turn out then to 6
, man, aud let it be known that the people
are wholly in harmony with the action o.
the Huron convention, and that the poll
ticians are not doing it all.
GENERAL uNPoPuLARIrY.
jamestown Alert: There is left littl.
room for doubt of the unpopularity o.
Governor Ordway in south Dakota. The
newspapers openly impute corruption tc
his administration and personally re-
: fer to him with uudisgulsed content
Not only this, but he was present il
Huron during the sitting of the recent
. convention, and Notwithstanding the
official position as chief executive Of thu
territory, not even the courtesy of an in
vitation to meet with them was extended
: to him by the delegates who were of anC
representatives Of the masses of the pee
pie of that part of the territory south o
the 10th parallel. There must certa,nl,
be a very strong feeling OF 'rcpugnanc,
when such an nnmistakable disconrtesy
$ is manifested by body Of representa-
| tive men. 1t is folly to attempt to ex
, plain this feeling as one OF groundlea
!. prejudice. 1t is too general to be with
I out foundation.
