A HALLELUJAH FEELING,
Over the appointment of New Governor
for Dakota.

over the appointment of Il New Governor
for Dakota.
Sioux Falls Press: A special tele-
gram from Washington, under the date
of June 26-says: "The new governor
for Dakota will be nominated tomorrow,
and the appointment will occasion some
surprise. There are SO many candidates
and there has been such scramble
for the Office that the president has
decided to appoint a personal friend
who is not an applicant, and has not
sought this or any other office. He is a
resident Of Illinois,, and is not mixed up
with any of the factions in the territory"
The Press has come to such a pass that
it could shout "Halleluiah!" to see al
most anybody on earth appointed to sue
ceed Ordway, if there is any room
to- hope that the appointee
will not simply be bis
mouthpiece. tits tired of the war which
1t has been necessary to keep up
throughout the territory in order to pre-.
vent the reappointment of the man who
has prostituted his position to further
corrupt ends and when he shall have
been turned out there will be prospect
of something like political quiet in the
commonwealth, if his successor shall be
man in whom the people can reason.
ably have confidence. Neither the Press
nor any of its special friends have any
further interest in the matter than any
institution or any good citizen might
properly have, and all that they ask is
the assurance that the territory may de.
pend upon something like common
honesty in the administration of it's
affairs.
This paper has also sounded the warn
ing as to schemes which are afoot for
capturing the next legislature in the
interest of the gang which is likely to
lose the governorship. It has done it's
duty as public journal. and if the
warning shall not be needed by the peo.
pie nothing can be charged against the
sentinel The Press can stand it to have
corruptionlsts run the next legislature
if the balance can. The fight against
Ordway has been long enough and bitter
enough to satisfy any desire which any
body would ba warranted in iDdulglnf
for the sake of being pugilistic. 1t take
a good deal of nerve to keep up con

which he claims is now usurped and with.
held from him by J. H. G. Jones.
The petition sets out that in January.

mi-sioned as Judge of the counties of King

formed what was known rs District Al, and

elected Judge of the county of King and

the limits OF their constitutional powers,
they might deem it necessary that he is
