medicine, for two reasons:
1st, The body is now more susceptible to benefit

As TO the deal which deprived Morto

As TO the deal which deprived Morton
county of member of the legislature on
the republican ticket, the editor of the
Pioneer and his readers may rest as
sured that the delegates from Burleigh
not only voted and worked straight and
solid with Morton, but knew no more
about the deal than did the gentlemen
from Morton themselves. Not only do
the Burleigh county delegates declare
this, but every one of the eighteen dele
gates in the combination now admit that
the only way they succeeded was by
keeping the matter from the Burleigh
delegates. The latter suspected nothing
until the nominations were made, and.
even then did not realize that the vote
would show the success of the scheme.
It never could have been done any other
WaV.

The Rapid City Journal thinks the op-
position from the Press and Dakotaian
to the appointment Of Attorney General
Engle is sufficient recommendation of his
fitness for the Office. It is not necessary to
go back very far to find in the files of
papers now most abusive, folsom praises
for Mr.. Engle and his manly fight against
the rulings of Commissioner Sparks.
They forget all about this now. The
narrowness of some mems minds is only
equalled by the shortness of their sight.

The interview with Governor Pierce in
another column will send sort of chill
up the spinal columns of many Clifford
disciples who have always heretofore be-
ieved in the integrity and consistency of
that gentleman. Governor Pierce is Civ
ing an administration eminently satisfac.
tory to the masses-so much so that al
though his resignation has been in Wash
ington for several months, it is doubtful
if President Cleveland will conclude to
make any change at present. It is hoped
that Judge Clifford may be able to ex-
plain away the inconsistency apparent in
the interview referred to-.

In THE republican primaries yesterday
there seemed to be but one issue. That
was on the treasurership. In the two
city precincts the friends of Robert Mac
nider were victorious and the twenty-five
delegates are instructed for him. The
green house precinct was very close
Mr.; Claussen receiving within three votes
of enough to secure him the delegation.
In the country precincts the delegations
will probably be divided. In any event,
the nomination of Robert Macnider for
treasurer on the republican ticket is as
sured.

were instructed for Hon. E. "A. Williams,
while Emmons with three delegates, and
Kidder with four were also enthusiastic-
ally in favor Of Mr.. Williams if there was
any way to get him on the ticket without
losing Hughes and Steele. Even Steele
himself could do nothing with his
delegation on this point, he even going
SO far as to ask that his nomination be
Withdrawn rather than have them
vote against Mitchell. Thus it will
be seen that by combination
Of anti Mitchell feeling and Will
Iams enthusiasm it was possible to get
eighteen votes, but not until after the
contest in Kidder was settled. Thus the
secrecy Of the move until after the COM
mittee on credentials had reported and
the report adopted. Arithmetically
speaking eighteen votes is one more than
seventeen, and that's the size Of the situ-
alton yesterday, which broke the slate:
and defeated Major Mitchell. Hereafter
not so much will be presumed by Nor
ton and Burleigh counties in legislative
conventions. It was a neatjob, and Bur
leigh bows gracefully to the inevitable,
as will doubtless Morton county. Burleigh
stood solid with Morton, as she ought,
during the whole massacre, but it vas no
use they had been hoodwinked. There
is nothing disastrous, however, in the re-
sult-only little disappointment in
Morton county, which must speedily
wear away, for Hon. E. A. Williams in
the legislature is capable of doing, and
will accomplish, more for his constituents
west of the river than could the candi-
date they presented. With Hughes, Will
iams and Steele IN the legislature, no
district in the territory will be more ably
represented than this.

MINNEHAHA oounty's fifteen delegates
to the Legislative republican convention,
TO be held on the 18th, are instructed TO
vote for the Hon. Melvin Grigsby for the
council. This insures his nomination,
and his election is almost equally GER
tain. Nor is Mr.. Grigsby's popularity
confined to the Fourth district. He was
candidate for delegate to congress, but
withdrew from the race and Tmade the
nominating speech, which, being sec
5onded by Gen. Allen, also candidate,
made the selection Of gJudge Clifford
unanimous. 55

except on the capital removal bill, Will
be selected. Abe couldn't stop that

SO, she will hardly return Van Osdel.

to repeal all but the homestead act, and
shows by his arguments that Dakota and
Montana need different land laws. While
100 acres may be q sufficient inducement
to settlement in Dakota, where nearly all
the land is tillable, il would not be suffi-t
cient in Montana, where not over one
quarter section in ten, on an average, is
capable Of supporting farmer, no mat
ter how industrious he may be. The
governor strikes q blow at Commissioner
Sparks when he says Whatever may
be true elswhere, I do not believe there
are 5 per cent. Of cases Of fraudulent en-
try OF lands under either Of the laws in
the whole territory. The general sus-
pension Of entries to await special inves-
legation is working untold hardship on
our scattered frontiersmen, who have to-
make long journeys at heavy cost to look
after their titles. 1t discourages improve
ments, and encourages litigation and
matchmaking. It is not the spirit Of our
laws that ninety mine innocent ones
should suffer in order that one guilty one
be brought to justice. Tt is generally
felt among our people as hardship and
unjust discrimination, that after all
the best lands in the country are dis
posed OF, severer restrictions should be
laid upon those willing to venture
SO far from a market and redeem
the poorer waste land that re-
mains" The governor estimates there are
100000 cattle, 10000 head of horses
and 100000 sheep upon the ranges in
Montana and population of 100000.
The gross value of the mine products for
the past year is estimated at $22,30O,OOO.
The governor favors the free and unlim-
tied coinage of our silver, arguing that
the withdrawal of the silver product of
the country from the market for the pur-
pose of coinage would tend to appreciate
the value of the metal and stimulate the
further development of the other great
interests of the country. The governor
favors the removal of the Indians to the
Indian Territory; opposes the repeal of
the desert land act; urges modification
by congress of the measure prohibiting
the territory from mourning over GER
tain amount of Indebtedness, and favors
the admission of Montana as state.

JUST TO please some Of his old associ-
ates having radical ard exclusive South
Dakota ideas and opinions, Editor
Wheelock, Of the Mitchell Republican,
tries to be real bad once in awhile, but
it's unnatural and Istrained. Mr.. Vince
lock was one of the few from the south
who, at the last session Of the legislature,
recognized the fact that Bismarck had
some 'fights in the capital question that
disapp pointed townsite speculators in the
south we're bound to respect. He recog-
nized the fact that the citizens Of Bis
marck had, in good faith, furnished the
money and land required in the capital
commission act, and therefore entitled to
just consideration. He urged at that
time the repeal of the act, the reapprais.
ing of the lots in the capital addition and
the sale of enough to liquidate all debts
of the commission. But the great and
holy majority of the south would not
listen to even small chunks of reason of
that kind. And now Editor Wheelock
says: ''The Republican has no desire to
see another season of capital removal ag-
itation. If Dakota is divided it is OF no
consequence to this section where the
capital of North Dakota is located; if
congress decides to keep the territory in
tact, the capital fight can then be made
on it's merits, and location secured with
some reference to centrality and accessi-
bility. What could properly be done,
however, at the coming session of the leg
islature, is to repeal the commission act,
relocate the capital at Bismarck by direct
act temporarily, and provide for wiping
out the present Indebtedness by reap
praising the unsold lots in the capitol ad-
dition. This much is due the people of
Bismarck who put their money into the
fight three years ago in as good faith as
did Mitchell, Huron and Pierre"
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1886-10-15

A FLASH of lightning from clear sky
or the sudden rising of mountain on a
plain could not be more unexpected than
the result of yesterdays convention. With
a sort of mutual understanding that two
members of the legislature should come
from the east side of the river and one
member from the west side, Burleigh and
Morton counties presumed upon the pas
siveness of the other eight counties in the
district, never for once figuring on what
the result would be in case the outside
counties should not be satisfied with the
slate of the two senior counties and
combine on line of action of their own.
What is the result? It must be said that
the dynamite cartridge which exploded
in yesterdays convention was the most
skillfully concealed missile of the kind
ever before used in political conven-
ton. So quietly did the outside counties
marshal their forces, and so sudden was
the charge, that the whole audience was
dumbfounded and the delegates from
Morton and Burleigh were completely
nonplussed. But, of course, it is easy
now to understand. In the first place,
with all due respect to Major Mitchell,
he was not the choice OF the
people west of the river. Stark county
with four delegates and Mercer with
two delegates were particularly hostile
Ward county with two delegates, and
! Mclean county with three delegates

Hon. G. A. MATTHEWS, of Brookings
county, has been nominated by the re-
publicans of the Seventh district for the

have sent Banker Bowdle to the legisla-
ture again this year. He would get that
Yankton court this time.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1886-10-15

EDITOR WHEEnooK, having declared
allegiance to the republican party, may
now declare himself on the proposition
to move the United States court from
Yankton. That's what the people of
Mitchell are interested in. Mitchell is a
good place for it, but it is feared that
Wheelock is too closely allied with Yank-
ton to be depended upon.

The republican discord in Stutsman

count of republican stupidity. III
