To the Editor of the Globe:
The GLOBE of the 18th contained q com
munication from one signing himself M"
dated Aberdeen, Aug. u, attempting to
correct what he infers will create q wrong
| impression from my communication appear
| inE in the GLOBE OF the 10th, regarding the
Democratic meeting TO be held at Aberdeen
Sept. -, under this Ordway-J ohnson
call. Now. without detracting one
iota from the sentiment of my former
article and without any desire to in any
way say or do aught thar will prejudice any
| legitimate Democratic movement called BY
Democratic authority through proper
channel; still l am at loss to know lust
what is intended by III, Ordway Demo-
cratic call. or why 4 meeting of the terri
tOrial Democracy should be or is called by
the central committee of one single
county tBrown), when the author
M" il he be posted. should
know that the territorial Democracy
has for the past twelve years been repre-
scented by a territorial central committee.
whose province it has been TO issue all calls
Tor a territorial meeting and at the Sioux
| Falls convention OF the Democracy last fall
an active territorial central committee was
selected by an authorized representative
/ body Of Democrats. consisting Of thirty
members, with ID. NJ. Inman as chairman.
and this committee thorough its secretary
/ H.. -.
nearly every organized county In Dakota.
and, Is stated in my former article. the
| Democratic party Of Dakota is organized
and to-day is unit in cooperation for the
best Interests of the party. unless in a few
instances OF personal aspirations for office
which Is only the reasonable result Of party
ascenoency, and, contrary 10 the insinua-
lions contained in the FIRST sentences of Mr.. |
Oriway's call, the Democratic party Ct Da-
kOta has a complete and cooperating orga-
niZatiOn in its territorial central committee.
composed OF thirty Of the best war
horses Of the party, headed BY that
nObleSt Roman Of them all. D. NJ Inman.
who never Yet has refused to do his duty
in calling meeting or convention when re-
queSted 10y his committee OF party. or TO
pay his money and give his time to the
best interests of his party long before the
Brown county central committee ever as
stunned TO call territorial meeting of the
Dakota Democracy. In its congressional
committee, comprised OF such men a Morris
/ Taylor and Others; i'm its legislative dis
/ trict committees, comprising its leading
members from each district, and i'm its
county committees, organized i'm every
county in Dakota, and all these working In
harmony, not for place. but for the ad-
Vancement Of Democratic principles and
the growth OF the Democratic party i'm Da-
kOta, according TO each their rightful sphere
in the work before them; and while have
TO doubt many Democrats as swell rs my
self desire al early meeting to further the
interest of our party and lis material good.
still l am at = loss 10 know Just why ter
ritOrial meeting should be called by ord
way" johnson, chairman of the Brown
county congressional committee. instead of
by ID. NJ. lnman, chairman of the terri
tOTial committee, and especially in view of
the fact of the following seemingly author
lied circular letter:
COLUMBIA, ID. T.. Aug. l., 1ss5.-Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find Il circular that will ex-
plain its purpose. We desire TO mention the
fact that there has been another circular is
sued since the enclosed one by l. G. Johnson
who is better known as Ordway Johnson and
who unfortunately became chairman OF the
Brown county Democratic committee, but is
sued the same without authority from said
committee. We therefore beg TO saw that the
convention will be in accordance with the en-
closed circular. By order OF the
BROWN COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
The circular to which the above refers is
as follows:
Aberdeen, Oak, Aug. 4, 1sS5.-Chairman
- County Democratic Central Committee
Dear Sir: There has been meeting called
of the Brown county Democratic central com
mittee, and,in council with other central COM
mittees, IL has been decided TO call a meeting
OF all the Democratic county central commit |
tees of the territory, TO be held IT the city of
Huron on the eth day Of September next for !
the purpose of perfecting uniform Demo |
cratic organization and other very important
business that viii properly come before the !
meeting. We thus urgently invite your COM
mittee TO meet with us On the aforesaid date
by whole or by delegates. We would ask you /
for an early reply 10 J. n. l. Berso1, West |
port Brown county. Dakota, SO as to make /
proper arrangements for railroad rates and |
hotel accommodations. BY order OF several |
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES.
1t would seem from both of the above. |
when taken in connection with the call |
published in the communication OF M /
and the call first sent out, and which oeca-
stoned my former communication, and /
which bears no date except 1885. that the /
Brown county Democracy, or rather some |
one representing II. has taken upon itself /
too much of load in usurping the place of /
the territorial central committee in issuing /
a call for 4 territorial meeting, when the |
province of a county committee is within |
its county, and it is TO be very much re- |
GREETED that this step has been taken. |
While its objects may be IN
questionable, and with M" and the |
many good Democrats of which Brown |
county can truly boast, be well meant. |
and they may be well-supported by other |
Democrats in this territory, as well as my
self, in an earnest desire for an early meet
ing at some central point, still their proper
course, it seems TO the writer, as / know it
does 10 many Others in the territory, to
properly bring this about would have been
10 have had the call come from an old and
time-tied and hre-tested Democrat, who. In
his official capacity a. chairman Of the terri
toria committee, as well as In his indivjd-
ual capacity, would have commanded the
respect and attendance Of Democrats. who
would have focked 10 the sound of his call
