Several Republican papers are openly sup
porting Mr. Day for congress. The Herald
in Day, Republican, has this merited notice
of him: "He has shown by bis effective work
IN the past that he is competent influential
and reliable. Neither prejudice nor favor
W Il make him unjust TO Dakota. He is an
able lawyer, great statesman, an honest
man and friend to the laborng man and
farmer-was raised on farm and knows
how il is himself" When the signal of Sc
cession was sounded at Fort Sumter, at the
age OF IL he shouldered his musket and
marched to the rescue of his country. He
went through the Vicksburg campaign with
Grant, and was wounded at the battle of Fort
Gibson Miss. He was mustered out in 1855,
hoving done gallant servics for his country,
for which be deserves the hearty support of
every soldier in the territory
Even the Sioux Falls Press, Auditor Cald-
wells paper, indulges in this sort of sarcasm
1T the expense of Delegate Clifford. in speak
ing OF his attack upon Gov. Pierce: THE
fact that Gov. P lerce's resignation has been
at the disposal of the administration for
months and that Mr.. Clifford has known this, is
another indication that the delegate has been
msreported." Private letters from the Black
Hills conf IN the report OF the papers there

it to get into the papers or to reach Gov.
Pierce. He thought it would be popular with
the party.
The Miller Gazette, in Hand county, states
the matter in this forcible way. which is worthy
the attention OF every Dakota voter: IF
Clifford IS elected he is pledged to stand solid
tor division and division only, which will re-
suit 10 our getting nothing. If Day is elected
be is pledged to ask congress to submit the
question TO vote of the people, which Will
settle the question one way or the other and
result in speedy admission either In whole or
part. Day champions the party that says let
the people say what they want, and give them
Nothing. Even the Republican papers of the
territory are acknowledging that Day is far
the best man for the position
The Trail Times, Col Plummer's paper, has
this mention of the visit OF the opposing can
didates for delegate to congress, 10 that sc c.
ton: "Mr. Day made great many friends
and left an impression on the large audience.
He is tower Of light in comparison to his
opponent" Few Republican papers are
much more complimentary to Mr.. Clifford
personally. The Kimball Graphic remarks:
The leading Republican papers of Dakota
have nothing but words CT praise for NJ. H.
Day, to their credit be it said. Reliable
newspapers cannot affJrd TO deny facts

Quails are almost unknown in Dakota, and
some OF the gun clubs are trying to introduce
them. The kimball Graphic notes as q re-
msrkable freak that eight of the little birds
alighted on the sidewalk in the business part
of that city recently. They were evidently
beweldered strangers to the country, or the
street was one of those noted sometimes by
country papers where the merchants do not
advertise.

1t is alleged that the Dakota & Great South

the Northern Pacific, on the western border
of Csss county, is a part of the Gould system

The Yankton Press and Dakotian speaks

work of the "Old gang" carried through by
packed caucuses, and to result in the white

The Cando Tribune speaks of the recent
funeral Of Miss Dickinson at that place as the
first occurrence of the kind since the settle

about a foot. The scientists say the rise was |
not due to rain, but that the stream always |
falls before rain and resumes afterwards. |

A territory cannot expect equality with states. |
