SIOUX FALLS POLITICS.
Some of the Candidates for TIN
Comfy Offices

Some of the Candidates for the
County Offices.
SIOUX FALLS, OAK, June 4.-The polit-
ical' cauldron has already begun to simmer,
and the smiling faces of score of candi-
dates for county Offices have appeared upon
the surface. j. NJ. Dickson is seeking
reelection to the Office of sheriff, which he
has held for several terms. John Sund-
book, c. T. Jeffers and Will Mcfarland are
in the field, and will make things lively for
Dickson. The office Is supposed to be
worth $4,000 to $4,000 a year, and there
will be hot fight for this prize. The con-
test for the county treasurship will be be-
tween G. L.. Norton, the present
treasurer by appointment, and o. E. Sven
son, the hardware merchant, although there
are several aspirants for the position and
the $4,000 salary. N. E. Phillips desires
an election to the office of register of deeds
and will probably be opposed by A. j. Ber-
dahl. E. Parlimon, ID. r. Bailey, A. A.
Polk, A. r. Bryan and E. G. Wright could
be induced to accept the district attorney
ship and 81, 200 in quarterly installments.
1t is too early to predict who the winners
will be, but the present appearances indi-
cate hot contest for every office. Hon.
r. F. Pettigrew claims to be out ofpolitics,
for the present at least, but the knowing
ones claim to see his hand in the grooming
of certain candidates. Mr.. A. w. Barry,
an attorney who recently located here,
came from Buffalo, n. Y, where he had
large practice. 1t is whispered that he may
receive an appointment to the bench OF the
territory after the United States senate adj
jOurns and Senator EdmundS returns to his
home

at the Warren Institute for his
tuition. In 1868 he enlisted in
the same company with his brother
OF that noted regiment-the Eighth
Illinois cavalry. His brother was killed at
his side in a cavalry charge, and soon after
his father was killed in an engagement in
Missouri.
Young Ward served as private to the
close of the war. Returning home, he con-
tinued his farming and schooling. Soon
after he located in Iowa. and while work
ing in the grocery business, continued his
studies and graduated from the law
department of the state university.
In 1877 Mr.. Ward located at Yankton,
Oak. and entered into law practice with
the Hon. Bartlett Trip. now chief justice
of the territory, In 1880 he gave up the
law business, went to Pierre and there en-
gagged i'll the commission and forwarding
business. Upon the organization of Hughes
county he was appointed commissioner,
and in 1882 engaged in the wholesale GRO
Gerry trade. He lis a member of the terri
torlal Democratic central committee and
has been an efficient active worker for his
party. lie possesses excellent judy
ment and force of character
He is 40 years of age. prosperous, independ-
ent, and in every sense of the term a self
made man. Some of the most prominent
Democrats of the territory are now urging
his appointment as governor. He is well
qualified, good political organizer, and
keenly alive to the interests of Dakota.
If Dakota is to remain territory, even
Republicans of that section would prefer
Ward for governor to an Eastern man. who
would not be identified with the territory,
and could not comprehend the wants and
conditions of this rapidly-growing new
Northwestern empire.

business transactions. Among mathemati-
clans, no name is more familiar than
President Lllley, he having contrib
uted to all of the leading mathemat-
ical journals and enjoyed extensive cor
respondence with the leading mathe-
maticians of this and foreign countries,
among whom he is considered high author
ity. In 1889, Washington and Jefferson
College gave him the honorary degree of
master of arts. A man having such vari-
ETY. of qualifications together with knowl-
edge of the practical affairs of the world and
the peculiar calling of practical agriculture
is especially qualified to be president of an
agricultural college. His educational and
business qualifications pre-eminently fit
him for this high calling. In appearance he
is above the medium stature. polished in
his manners, and by his quiet and unas-
suming nature makes friends wherever he
goes. He is most excellent instructor,
being able to make the student become in
tensely interested in his work. His character
is without reproach and his students proudly
point to him as model man. The college
itself is the best recommendation of his
work. He was called to the presidency
June 2, 1854. The college was first opened
the Gath of the following September and
the attendance kept constantly increasing
until the past year when it reached $50, the
largest of any college in the territory. His
success has been phenomenal and the in
terests of the territory demand his retention
in this important position.

MARATTA UNCONFIRMED,
And Serious Doubts Expressed as {
Favorable Action.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June At is my opinion
that Maratta will not be Immediately con-
firmed. Maratta has made some enemies
who oppose him bitterly, and gives Edmunds
an opportunity to fight him. My own
knowledge of Marratta is that he is square,
fair, honest and reliable. But he is too
outspoken and makes enemies that way.
Moreover, he is now accused of becoming
intimate with the men who opposed his APP
pointment i'll the first place, and that he is
inimical to the men who secured him his
place. The Lord only knows all about the
quarrels which the Dakota politicians have
with each other, and it would take re-
porter straight from the great white throne
to catch on to all of it, and portray it in
telligibly to the people. One thing, how
ever, even mortal can get at, and that is,
that the end of it all is drawing nigh.
When the next
TERRITORIAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
is held the fur will fly and the people will
have a chance to say who shall serve them
as their representative man. 1t is not I'M
likely that Maratta will be the nominee of
his party for the position of congressional
delegate. He has many friends in the
Democratic ranks, and he is said to have
aspirations in that direction. If he really
is in earnest he can go into the convention
with fifty deputies, and the will vote for
Capt. Dan first. last and all the time. 1
notice that while Maratta says that he is
not candidate, the other possibilities Wild
come here speak of him and his power with
great deal of jealousy and some bitter
ness. One thing is certain, and that is that
Maratta is a good man to keep on the right
side of, no matter whether he is confirmed
or not. l know him for royal. loyal good
friend. and that is the kind of fellow who
can be neutrality-suspicious. enemy.

THE FACTION FIGHT OVER.
Day Goes Home and Leaves the Field
to- BOyMtOM. AM


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The departure
OF Hon. Nj. Il. Day for Dakota leaves the
political waters of the territory chance to
settle and clarity. Mr.. Day has given up
all hope of accomplishing anything, and
leaves the field in the undisputed possession
OF Hon. Abe Bovnton. He is satisfied that
Dakota will have no Democratic governor,
and that the chances of his friend Ziebach
have all gone glimmerlng. He believes that
the president is more in favor of the Folsom
family and of becoming husband than he
is i'll favor of the Democracy of the empire.
He says that the only friend the Northwest
has in this administration is the postmaster
general, although he acknowledges that
Secretary Lamar has done some good for
Dakota by ''sitting down. on Commissioner
Sparks. He is
DISGUISED WITH POLITICS,
and seems about to give up the political
ghost and let Boynton, Inman, Mckenzie
and the rest have it all their own way. He
says he does not care whether convention
is held for his party at an early date CT
late date. He claims to be tired of politics,
as man does when he is laid out stiff and
cold. He says that he has business to at
tend to which will take all of his Uime, and
he will not waste any more of his money
or of his time looking out for his friends.
He does not seem to think that his friends
have been standing by him and working for
him as they ought to have done. In brief,
he seems to be away down in the mouth,
and his rival Boynton is blooming and hur-
raining like the rooster who wins the cock
ing main. Whether it is an end of the
lOng-protracted, cruel political warfare be-
tween these eminent Dakotians, or whether
it is only truce, no man can say. 1t is to
be hoped, in the interest of the party and
of the territory, that it is an end of the bat
ting between the gentlemen who are so
able and So earnest in the Democracy, but
so personally hostile.

WASHINGTON, June Ar do not think that
there is any reasonable doubt" said Chair
man Hill of the house committee on terri
tories to-day, "of the passage of my bill to
divide the territory of Dakota on the seventh
standard. have been overwhelmed by tele-
grams and letters indorsing my bill by the re-
liable and enterprising citizens of the terri
tory. The proposition seems to meet with
universal favor among all who want division
of the territory. You see my line divides on
the east and west, and very near the same
place which is proposed in the Har-
rison bill. Of course there are
good many objections to my bill by
Democrats who do not think anything should
be done for Dakota, but my proposition to
divide the territory on this line, if a majority
of the whole territory shall vote for it, IS, it
seems to me, the fairest proposition yet SUBJ
mitted. If the people are really opposed to
division they will have an opportunity at the
polls to say so, and if they want a division by
some other line they can say so. do not
think there is any politics in the proposition
to do something of this kind for the people
when they shall vote for it. I really believe
that the bill will be taken up and passed at
this session."

The colonel was himself an officer in the

daughter of the late John Kelly of Kelvin,
Ont, by whom he had six children, five
still living. Sargent county had but few
settlers in it when he came into it three
years ago, and none near FOrman OF for
many miles around. Now nearly every
quarter section has settler on it. This
county is in what is called Central Dakota,
and is one of the finest counties in the ter
ritOry.
