Abraham Boynton, who is now at
Washington as u would be-rival OF M.
II. Day, is making az ass out OF himself
by grossly misrepresenting the demo-
Gratis of Dakota. Having nothing else
to do he is continually seeking inter-
views apd probably paying tor themtso
that the people out here may know that
he is still In existence.
He has the bare faced audacity to
clam, III an interview with Il Post re
porter, that the democrats OF, this terri
tory are strongly opposed to division
aad do not even desire admission as a
whole at the present time. When Boyn-
ton made this assertion he was we'll
aware he was misrepresenting the demo-
Gratis of south Dakota, at least. This
question we have reviewed time and
again and have proven beyond q doubt
that the democrats of sonth Dakota with
the exception OF old Ordway democrat
were solid for division. Ordway repuoli-
cans aud Ordwsy democrats OF south
Dakota are working hand in hand to
defeat division fearing that Bismarck
would lose the capital if such is accom-
plished.
Boynton and Inman have always been
mixed up in in the various Ordway deal.
and were undoubtedly interested In the
late capital steal. Their action now in
opposing division is therefore easily
accounted for. In the views they hold
upon this question they represent Them
selves only, and Boynton wilfrlly lies
when he says that the democrats are
opposed to division.
In the various interviews this fellow
Boynton AYERS many other things which
are to ridiculous to answer, but when he
says that MIR. Day does not represent the
sentiment of the democracy OF Dakota
oa the subject of division and also that
MIR. Day was placed on the national
committee because he happened
to be delegate to the ma
tional convention which NOM
mated Cleveland he again knowingly
lies or he is too ignorant to even act as q
member of o school board. Mr.. Day
was not q delegate to the national con,
vention. Ziebach and Mccormack were
chosen by the democratic convention
which met at Pierre and attended tht
convention at Chicago. When they were
asked to name o committeeman they
represented their constituents by pre-
senting the nameyof Mr.. Day who was
placed upon the committee.
10 show what q ~falsitier this fellow
Boynton is, he says that nine.tenths o.
the voters of south Dakota refused Il
send delegates to the Sioux Falls con-
vention. While we have nothing II
common with the trainers of the pro
posed constitution, still we believe in
treating their claims justly.
Boynton knew better when he
made the above statement. We quote
it simply to show how he is conducting
himself at Washington. and to wha'
extreme measures he is being driven to
in order to makeHome show of a figh-
against Nj III. Day. Boynton hat
better pull in mis- sail aud light out fol
home. for he is a dead duck with thi
administration. The fact that he il
known to be in daily intercourse will
old Ordway is enough to condemn hin
in the eyes of President Cleveland, Th,
administration is as familiar with th
Ordway ~rascals as we are, and lie,
cannot obtain anything In the way Q
patronage nn matter ~hat ishuenc
they bring to bear.
