Washington, ID. O., June IL MIR. O.
O. Frost, of Huron, is still here. and de-
sires me to deny for him that he is
candidate for any Office. He says that
he has Withdrawn his papers from the
interior department, and is merely OF
visit here to remain until the adjourn
ment of congress. He ais, says that he
is not in the field as regniar' rurrss-
pondent for Dakota papers. He says
that he has sent out circular to all of
the papers in the territory, but that he
does not contemplate corresponding
with any except during the session of
congress. He says that he will remain
here only two weeks longer.
No appointments are being made in
the departments, for Dakota, because
the referee for the territory is not here.
note that it has been recently denied
that there is any one particular person
to whom all matters are referred,
want to reiterate my statements of the
past ten months, namely, that all matters
of appointment are referred to Mr.. Day.
l have seen this with my own eyes at
the National hotel, as the mail has come
in; and 80 have Boynton, Hiebach, Smith,
of Miller, and Inman. Itis matter of
fact, and those who deny it, are wrong,
as facts will demonstrate. 1t is not wise
to kick against the pricks and the last
man to be oontradicted on matters of
public interest is John Smith. | can
stand considerable, but the line must
be drawn somewhere.
Hon. w. j. Ryse, OF Marshall county,
is still here. He is an Indiana politician,
and has the most complete set of recon-
mendations from Mr.. Holman and other
democratic friends in that state, that l
have ever SEEN. He ls thorough
farmer, and working man. He says that
he has no patience with the ''bokay-
carriers" in politics. By this under
stand that he refersto Sheafe, and others
from the terr:Sory who have come here
and worn stor2 clothes and put on some
little style. He believes in appear
ing here in Washington just as he does
on the farm. There is no style about
him, and he is proud of it. No one can
ever accuse him of making anything
like an extra and impressionable appear
ance here. He is plain Ryse, and
nothing else.
The senate has passed Judge Clifford 3
Northern Pacific bill, as substitute for
the house bill on the same subject. This
law compels the Northern Pacific to pay
the cost OF surveying its land grant, and
subjects the payment of certain fees
by local taxation. 1t happened that the
territorial legislature was wise enough,
not long since, to make o law which
bill which Judge Clifford has secured
action upon, changes the face of affairs
and compels the corporation to take q
hand in the shelling process. 1t is we'll

on their cars. Judge Clifford has done
the territory service in this bill alone
| which entities him to the recognition
| and gratitude of his constituents.
Ths Dawes bill has no show. It will
not come before the house this session
| The conference of chairmsn Of commit
tees, whioih was held in response to Q
call by Speaker Carlisle, has decided up
on the future action of the house upon
all matters. They will consider and
pass all appropriation bile, and then &c
into hot fight upon the Morrison tariff
| bill. That will occupy the greater pali
of the time OF the house until adjourn
ment, and what time there may be to
spare will be devoted to the Northern
Pacific land forfeiture bill. On the whole
there has been enough work laid oui
to keep the house on the jump until the
middle of July, and there is not left
even little loophole through which the
Dawes bill may crawl into notice. 1t is
practically dead, for this session. The
people may throw all the blame upon
Mr.. Wellborn, of Texas, and they will
not 60 far wrong. McManima and Nc
Clure deserve praise. They worked
fai thfully.
| There is no truth in the rumor which
has been industriously spread by tht
"bosses," that as soon ss congress ad
journs the president intends to 90 bach
on his past creed and loyalty thereto. 1
is untrue that he intends to suspend al
office holders who will not resign. The
president Is sincere and honest in hi
professions, ard will not recalcitrat,
even in the slightest degree. He hal
not authorized any political boss to an
nounce to republican Office holders tina
they will be suspended unless they re
sign. You can rest assured that he viii
not descend to any such Httleness. l
he wants to make any reno vals, he vii
do il. He will not beat about the busl
about it and he will not speak by tn
mouth of any who hope to benefit them
selves by wholesale slaughter Of the in
/ aocents. OF course all republican offic
holders know, or they ought to know
