A politician somewhat prominent said
the other day to friend in Springfield.
in confidential mood, that if the Pierre
convention nominated Raymond, as he
thought it would, there would be bolt
and another convention on the spot.
The politician who gave this informa-
tion belongs to the Raymond opposition
and is representative of the
Pettigrew. Ordway combination. What
he said came from the inner
councils of his faction.
AS it appears that such q conclusion
has been reached. it is due the public
that it receive notification thereof.
The cause of the Raymond opposition
has become desperate one. The men
who compose it are given rather to per-
sonal aggrandizement than to the ad.
vancement of the interests OF the party
with which they are training. If the
power they have welded for several
years past Is taken away from them by
popular uprising against their DONNA
ton they will have no hesitancy in
taking an appeal from the decision OF
the people and carrying the case into a
tribunal of their own fellowship.
At the Pierre convention this element
will resort to all the disreputable
methods which have characterized their
past career, and failing in these will, as
the aforesaid politician promises, ignore
the action OF the convention and set up
one of their own, thus dividing the re-
publican party.
We do not believe the repub.
lican party of Dakota would take
any steps to prevent tho consumma.
ton OF scheme of this nature. We
believe the party as whole would re.
joice at the act.
For many years certain element
working within republican ranks for the
spoils which corrupt methods procure
have piled up disgrace upon the name oi
Dakota and prevented our territory
from acquiring the recognition which il
its due.
In proof of this assertion it is only
necessary to point TO our Legislatures
our executive department (as it was), on,
territorial conventions and the primaries
which created them.
The history of the past has been the
history Of monstrous frauds, of open
and shameless deception, of trickery and
knavery without end, OF rotten oorrup
tion which has fastened itself upon tht
vltals of the embryo commonwealth anc
is spreading and permesting the entire
body politio.
Our Legislatures buy the votel
of men and then tax the peo
pie for the means with which I.
carry out their disreputable bargains
Our party conventions resolve them
selves into auction shops where thu
highest bid takes the ballot which il
supposed to represent the voice Of tn,
people. A horde Of officials appointed
BY scheming, unscrupulous. politica
governor (happlly now removed) ente,
into these manlpulations and carry ou
his plans without halt or blush.
IL it any wonder that the paterna
government looks with distrust upon
people Who permit such methodist
All this happens under republics,

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss.--S1: Allow
me to correct slight mistake in your issue Of
last Saturday With regard to the card re.

Dat, ST., on the occasion OF their golden
wedding. When you say |, was made from
an old ships capstan and been lying in the
ship yard Of Robinson & Co., for fifty years.
Now, on the authority Of an old living resident
and ship carpenter, who has been employed
here as such since 1876, though now retired,
besides others who know about it. the facts
are as follows A large sized tree Of ksmani
was sent from Molokai to Mr. Robinson when
he set up the FIRST known "heaving down"
capstan, opposite the present wharf store.
The Point as ii was then called was being
filled in from the beach, from about "Makee's'
Block to the hulk where they then hove the
vessels down.
The capstan was set up sometime between
the years Is2s-rs32, probably.
There being many English, French and
Spanish whalers in port those days, and some
being large vessels, another capstan was
erected further out on the point. about oppo
site the Dwight boys lumber Office but thi.
second one was taken up in 1876, somewhs,
the worse for wear. The first, which cams
into my possession, was taken up only three
years ago and when cut was found quite frest
and solid, after about 50 years exposure to The
