WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Indications of
he executive barometer show high hopes
or Judge Church. The president has GER
ainly promised him the governorship of
Dakota, and unless something unforeseen
hall arise within day or two that promise
will be kept. There are strong reasons Of
political nature which cannot be briefly
narrated why the appointment OF Judge
Church would prove beneficial to the entire
party. as well as to the people of Dakota,
ultimately. He is a Staunch and true
Democrat. and it is strongly intimated that
ne accepted the judgeship he now holds
,nly to become domesticated in Dakota, in
order to make his appointment to the gov
srnorship more feasible and more satisfac-
:ory to the people. 1t is said that he would
lave accepted the position he now holds
Upon no other condition than that it should
De followed by the appointment to the
gOvernorShip. The resignation of Coy.
Pierce was filed when he was tere by re-
quest of the secretary of the interior, and
lpon
AN AMICABLE UNDERSTANDING
With the president. But for his willingness
20 tender his resignation Mr.. Pierce might
aave retained the Office until the end of his
;erm. He understood that his successor
lad been selected, and it is believed that he
las known ali along who that successor is
20 be- Marshal Maratta is now said to be
4 candidate. and it is alleged that large Pc
itions for his appointment are being eircu-
.ated and signed throughout the territory.
Chairman Orendorf, of Illinois. has strong
II 4,-.o
lis claim with persistent urgency. 1t is
whispered that the celebrated Phil Armour,
of Chicago has been here quietly working
for Orendorf for several days past. But
information from source near the throne
is TO the effect that all other candidates and
aspirants will fail and Judge Church be
appointed. Mr.. Day is understood to be
perfectly satisfied with arrangements which
are now shaping themselves, and it is well
to say that the result will be satisfactory to
himself and all of his friends. The presi-
dent has high regard for Mr.. Day, and
would never ignore him in this or any other
matter.
DAYS BACKING.
The original statement that the Demo-
cratic territorial committee indorses the
candidacy of Mr. Day is the correct one.
the members of the territorial committee
are absolutely untrue. They are disproved
by the undeniable fact that Mr.. Day is in
dorsed. in black and white, by the commit
tee. Since the Aberdeen convention there
have been no dissensions in the Dakota
Democracy. 1t is well known to all that
Mr.. Day is not candidate, but that only
in the event of the unfavorable prospects
of Ziebach, and the possibility of the APP
pointment of another. would Mi. Day actu-
ally seek the office. and only then for the
sake of the United Democracy of the terri
tory, upon whose judgment and desires in
the matter he would rely.
AN UNQUEsTIoNED DIVORCE.
Hon. N. II. Day is divorced, by decree
of the Aberdeen convention, from all con-
nection with the "We-are- a-state" COM
bination in the southern counties. What
ever of truth there may have been in
former allegations that Mr.. Day was
party to the inception of the original Sioux
Falls constitutional movement, it is certain
that by none of his actions has he been an
aggressive member of the combination. He
has always been in favor of submitting the
question of division to vote of the people
He takes particular pride in the Aberdeen
platform, which forever silenced those who
nad been connecting his name with the
reYolutioniStS.
A DICTATE OF POLICY.
at is sometimes questionable in my mind,'
says leading Democrat, whether it is better
to have Democratic governor of Dakota or
not. The fact is that Pierce is being made an
issue OF, and the Republicans are fighting
each other for him and against him. If
Pierce remains in his present position for
another year, all of the Republican papers
Will have said so many mean things at each
other that apologies cannot be made suf-
hciently numerous and strong to patch up the
