WASHINGTON, July 22.-Repubicans
who are still holding presidential offices in
the territory may as well make up their
minds that the time is near at hand when
they must 60. Hitherto the territorial
Democracy has been like great big, hydra
headed. mugwumpian thingumbob. Ii
they have ever agreed upon any one point,
it has not been percepible here at Washing
ton. But now they have harmonized upon
one thing and that is, 1.-The Republicans
must 60" Heretofore they have been of
Paul and Apollos, but they have not seen
any increase. The meeting of the terri
torial committee at Aberdeen settled one
thing, namely, that the Democrats of each
district shall have some voice in the selection
of officials. Mr.. Day and Mr.. Mccormack
were obliged to concede that much. Prior
to the meeting OF the committee, the recon-
mendationS of Wilson, Ward, Mccarthy,
Smith, BoyntOn and the rest had been
ignored and deSpised. Now it is different.
instead of fighting against the appointment
OF some Democrat who would not bow to
Bali, by means of which the Republicans
were able to hold on,
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
will unite in making suitable recommended
tiOnS, and Democrats will be appointed.
While there must be one head man. or
chief, through whom the recommendations
will pass, there will be no absolute boss.
The representative men of each county and
legislative district will select the proper
men, and they will be appointed. That is
the only correct way to do these things. 1t
is the first necessary step towards harmony.
After this plan shall have been working for
a while, there will be natural and gratify-
ing cessation of all the chickering's and hos
tilities which have made the Democracy
laughing stock in the territory. No one
man can run party in so big a territory.
In fact, no one man can run party even in
SO small state as Rhode Island. Where
two or three are met together, there are al
ways separate minds. and to each must be
conceded independence, honesty, ability.
The failure to grasp the wisdom of this
principle cost the Republican party its
COnkling, Blaine, the presidency, and its
prestige. 1t is well that the territorial
Democracy has learned this lesson before it
is eyerlastingly to late. The Republican
officials may as well be getting ready to get
out. Their day is coming, and the sooner
they make arrangements to earn an honest
living at something else, the better it will
be for them, for they must go, and they
must go soon.

And Refuses to Believe the Stories
Circulated to His Detrimemt.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-JuleS Guth-
ridge, the brilliant correspondent of the
Chicago News the successor of Gil Pierce
upon that paper, was interviewed last night
at the National hotel by prominent Da-
kotian. Guthridge thought he was inter-
viewing the Dakotian. but he wasn't; he
was being interviewed himself. He was
induced to say:
l am warm friend of Gov. Pierce. know
him well, and l know that he has offered to
resign number of times but the president
has refused to accept his resignation. He
likes Pierce and believes him to be a good
governor, and he will make no change there
until he finds superior man for the success
sion. The trouble has been in the Demo-
cratic party. The president would like to
have Democrat in Pierces place, much as
he likes him, but he will not allow any set of
men to select the man for him. The friends
of Ziebach filed a lot Of silly charges against
Pierce and the president became disgusted
with them all. He was not IN favor of Ziebach
at first but the secretary of the interior was.
| If it hadn't been for those charges the presi-
dent might have asked for Pierce's resigna-
| ton and appointed Ziebach, but those charges
| spoiled it all.
Regarding the alleged aspirations of the
governor for congressional hOnOrS, Mr.
Guthridge said:
The governor knows better than to hide
himself under the dark mantle which must
be worn by every territorial delegate. He
| does not want it, but Clifford does. He is
| friendly to Clifford, and believes that he ought
to have second term. Moreover, he believes
that Clifford will be renomirated almost with
out opposition. After he leaves the governor
ship he will probably return to journalism.
There is no better correspondent or editor
| anywhere in the country than Gil. Pierce.

be one OF the livelieSt ever held here. The

The country towns have not been heard

cate that the convention would be pretty
evenly divided. Lovely's friends, particu-
larly number of the younger Republic
ans, have been very actively at work, and
Tonight they not only assert that Mr..
Lovely will secure the Winona delegation,
but that he will be nominated at Kasson on
the flrst ballot. Dunnell's friends, while
not so sanguine, believe that his strength
throughout the country will be sufficient to
overcome the opposition against him in this
city, and secure at least an uninstructed
delegation, part of which will be friendly
to him. MI. Whites name is not spoken of

modestly asserted that he would be nomi-
mated without doubt. He felt very CRATE
full to the young Republicans and business
men OF Winona for the work done for him
here. He thought he would get the sup
port OF Winona county at Kasson, and he
had many friends in Mower and Houston

no show. Fillmore county was also very
friendly to him. Wabasha county he
thought would stick to Mullen first and

the Farmers alliance was over-estimated.

lieve the Democrats of the First district, at

him unanimously, notwithstanding the let

which case it is said that the judge may

HURON. Oak, July ga few weeks
since about $50 patents to land in this dis
trict were received at the Huron land office.
These were all issued ON final homestead
proofs, and very large majority were to
soldiers who applied their time of service
in the army to their time required for final
homestead proofs. The receipt of these
patents acted as vigorous stimulant to
very many settlers who have long
since made proof on their land.
but for which no patents have been re-
ceived. 1t was thought that the work Of
issuing patents to lands in this district
would go on rapidly, but few recent de-
cisions of Commissioner Sparks have again
banished the hope so fondly cherished for a
time. About four years ago Mr.. McFar-
land, then commissioner of the general
land Office, issued a circular to the different
land Offices requiring parties making final
proof, either Oh pre-emption or homestead
entry, to file an affidavit with the proof
setting forth the reasons why absence from
the claim had been made by the settler, and
the duration of such absence if made Sew

this additional affidavit attached and sent TO

proof to this Office because in a separate
affidavit the settler acknowledged that.
being poor man. he had been obliged to
be absent from his claim to work for others
in order
TO SECURE MEANS
for the support of himself and family and
to make the necessary Improvements on the
land. The affidavit showed that at no time
had he been absent more than two weeks
and minutely gave dates and cause for such
absence. Notwithstanding the improve
mentS made by the settler, amounting to
several hundred dollars, and his strict COM
pliance with the law in every other par
ticular and the payment of S1.25 per acre
for the land, Mr.. Sparks holds the entry for
cancellation on the ground that the frequent
absence from the land does not show
sufficient good faith on the part of the
entryman. Other instances similar to the
one above noted are frequently coming to
light, and all who have made the additional
affidavit with their prof. are becoming
uncomfortably shaky concerning their
patents. Your correspondent has taken
some pains to get the opinion of attorneys
and land dealers relative to the matter. and
all are quite decided in the belief that. as
the government has accepted the required
amount of money in payment for the land
and issued its receipts therefor, the settler
cannot be required to make new proof,
neither will he lose the land unless it be
made to appear that fraud has been
practiced or attempted on the part of the
settler.

SIOUX FALLS, July 23.-For some time
E. A. Sherman and III. T. Carson. mem
bers of the Willmar g. Sioux Falls board
of directors, have been quietly at work to
secure this road for the city, and there IS
every indication that their efforts will be
successful. Willmar is about 14O miles
north of Sioux Falls, and the preliminary
survey shows that nearly an air line road
can be built between these points and the
grade will not in any place exceed thirty
feet to a mile. Engineers are now at work
correcting the original survey, and Presi-
dent Spicer writes he should not be sur
prised to see the dirt fly within sixty days.
This line will give us a Duluth connec-
ton as we'll as with st. Paul and
Minneapolis by way of Willmar. The
whole scheme is backed by the Manitoba
road, and the proposed link will eventually
form part of that system. The cltlzens
are alive to the advantages OF the road and
are ready to give the $50, 600 and the right
of way through the county asked by the
Willmar 81 Sioux Falls road through Presi-
dent Spicer. With this road Sioux Falls
will have four of the great railroad systems
in the West and railroad facilities unriyaled
in Dakota, to say the least.
STILL ANOTHER ONE.
The grading on the Burlington, Cedar

Falls is progressing rapidly, and will un-

difficulty has been experienced on the

the city and crosses very valuable property

litigation will result. Representatives OF
