his name to the President for the
McCrary vacancy, the Minnesota
delegation in Congress have united

speak, will defeat the appointment

DakOTA MEMS NOTES.
Declines ordwaY,s challenge.

Hugh J.. Campbell publishes his re-
ply to Gov. Ordway's letter asking
Campbell to join him in a Geographic
request to the president to have the
commission sent to Yankton, Oak, to
investigate his official conduct; also
to inquire into all charges Campbell
had to make against OrdwSy.
Campbell declines the proposition.
He says:
The Indictment Of the grand jury was
not of his procurement; that the matter
is not of q personal character between
the governor and himself; that as it was
his duty, he brought the matter to the
attention of the grand jury, and expect
ed to the Judgment of the court 80
quash the Indictment; that there is not
q solitary act of his official life which
has not been throughout straightfor-
ward and above board, and that he Is
fearless Of the result Of investigation;
that matters that come before the grand
jury will be submitted to Judge Boteler
and Mr.. Haight, of the commission, and
that it would be useless and imperti-
nent to make such a request to the
president.

divert the attention Of the reader by
episodical matter, or to fatigue it by
long descriptions, superfous converse
