a day or two. The history of the case is
about as follows: When Raymond was in
Mississippi in the capacity of state printer
his friend L. T. Weber died, leaving a
large estate to his young son, making Ray
mond administrator without bond. After
the Democrats secured control of the state

mother of young Weber had married
again and was living in Fargo. She knew
something of Raymond's resources, and the
mothers instincts made her uneasy con-
corning her sons fortune. After repeated
efforts in the way of entreaties and threats
of suit she finally brought the administrator
to an account, when it was first learned

indignation at the appointments of
"a stranger to a Judicial Clerk
ship.
Special to the Globe.
MILBANK, OAK. Aug. 10.-This morn
city, but who has been residing in Huron
some three or four months, appeared at
the Office of Clerk of the Court A. J. Bleser
and exhibited to that gentleman his ap-
pointment by Hon. T. K. Church, Judge of
the Fifth judicial district. as clerk of the
district court for Grant county. While
Mr.. Stream is undoubtedly pleasant gen
tleman and may probably make good
officer nevertheless the appointment meets
with the unanimous disapproval of the Dem
ocrats of this vicinity. from the fact that
they had reason to believe that the pledges
contained in the national Democratic party
platform to the effect that residents
of the territories should be ap-
pointed to territorial offices would
be observed. The appointment of
Mr.. Stream carries with it the inference
that there is not sufficiently good timber
among the Democrats in the county from
which to make choice, but the Democrats
here do not look upon it in that light and
90 nOC hesitate 10 express tnelf sentiments
in very PLAIN language They claim that
an outside appointment like this is
VERY POOR WAY
to help them build up the Democratic
party in the county. While they concede
that Judge Church has the right to make
the appointment, they feel that he has
made a serious mistake in the policy
adopted by him in importing clerks for his
courts. and that his action in the present
instance has done more to demoralze the
Democratic organization in the county
than can be repaired in long time. The
old-time Democrats here have been fight
ing carpet-baggers ever since the close
of the war, and they do not
relish the pill that has been
forced down their threats. Furthermore,
they do not relish the taunts and jeers that
the Republicans are heaping upon them
since the news Of the new appointment has
become public. Up to this time there was
good fighting chance for the Democrats
to carry this county this fall. but now they
feel that they have been imposed upon, and
that it is useless to make any further at
temptS toward party organization.
