SINGISER Is SOLID.
There is one office in the above list which
cannot be captured. They who are wise
will hearken unto the words Of wisdom.
and cease to work and hope for it, The
receivership OF the Office at Mitchell is held
by Hon. Theodore F. Singiser. He was
appointed by President Arthur. and con
tirmed just before that official retired to the
private life whence be Unexpectedly
emerged. Mr. Singiser was the Republican
delegate in congress from Idaho territory.
He had formerly been secretary of Idaho.
Prior to that he was a clerk in the treasury
department. He was appointed in this
way. He had more friends on the Demo
cratic side of the house, when he was a
member, than on the Republican side. His
best chumS were Blackburn, of Kentucky;
Randall, of Pennsylvania: Hewitt, of New
York. and other prominent Democrats OF
like standing. He was always with them,
and they with him. Well, when fhe ad-
ministration changed. these gentlemen ad-
vised him to take a land Office. and prom
ised to stand by him. He did so. They
will do anything and every thing for him.
Blackburn and Randall would walk to
Washington for Sing anytime. He can
not be moved or removed. Indeed, Sim
giser is a Democrat at heart and has been a
Republican hitherto for revenue only"
OF course. those who are after that office
will keep on butting their heads
AGAINST A STONE WALL
rather than listen to the words of wisdom.
But the same amount of energy and influ-
ence might be better expended to the seek
ing of some other and more available office
Another Office on which various applicants
are wasting time is the Grand Forks regis
tershp. 1t is almost certain that the sec
retary of the interior has promised that
Office to R. II. Brown, of Huron, whose
name you will find on the list of applicants.
Mr.. Brown was an applicant for the A ber-
deem registerShip, and it was given to Maj.
L. A. Burke. But for Bmke'S superior
claims, by reason of soldier record of eXcep-
tional merit, Brown would have then been
appointed. 1t is almost certainty that he
will receive the Grand Forks office. Al
Bismarck it is pretty well settled that E.
r. Otis will be the lucky man. The de-
partment officials know him to be an excel
lent man with a splend record. He is
also known to be the only able Democratic
editor in Burleigh county, and one of the
best and most capable Democratic worker:
in North Dakota. Since LOunSberTy lef
Bismarck Otis has been the sole intellectual
light of the Bismarck Journal. a very cred
liable Democratic weekly. Maj. Otis has
the Endorsement of Mr.. Day. Capt. Me
Cormack Marshal Maratta and the Othel
good men and true whose recommendations
count with the administration.
