Bureau Correspondence Press and Dakotaian.
Washington, May 2l-Abe Boynton
tells me that he comes from the same
country in Wisconsin. and enlisted
nearly the same time or date, and moved
to Dakota about the same time that Mr..
Day became a Dakotaian. He says that
he has always liked Mr.. Dpy and be-
lIeyed in him, until within the past year,
when they have disagreed. He has
against Days democracy, but
believes him to be selfish and unforgiv-
ing. Therein he errs. know Mr.. Day
to be enc of the most forgiving men i'll
politics. He works for his friends, and
stands by them till the last horn blows,
but he is willing to join hands with his
opponents.i in other measures, as soon as
the fight is over. Boynton says that
he is willing to leave all matters to the
arbitrament of the democratic territorial
convention, and will abide by that au-
gust body's decision upon all matters
81 am no intense partisan" he says, and
believe in my party and will do as its
majority of representative men say"
The Sioux bill is in chaotic state. I
do not expect the passage of the bill for
the opening of the reservation without q
bitter and acrimonious debate, and even
then il it passes the house, it will be in
such an amended form that there will
be troublei in getting it past the senate
The Globe correspondent hits the nail
on the head when he say that Senator
Dawes viii not know his own bill when
it returns from the house with its ears
all worn off, and its nose chewed off,
MoManima and Mcclure are working
night and day for their measure, and
are doing effective service, buj they ARE
only two men against four hundred rep,
resentatives In the house who have to
have the bill explained to them. You
| can imagine that they are busy "chin-
ming" all the time, showing the merits
| of their bill to the average congressman.
1t would never do to leave the matter
to debate, for there would be SO much
misunderstanding that 1t would never
pass. Therefore these gentlemen from
Pierre are working for the salvation ol
their town and adjoining country with
| a vim and determination which ought
to command success
There are no appointments of note
being made. AS I have so often tolt
| you, such matters are settled ent1rel,
| upon the recommendation OF Mr.. Day
He is away and nothing is being dom
without his endorsement
! am informed that Hugh East is t.
get an Office in Dakota. You never
heard of him, did you? Well, he ie on,
of the best men in the world, and has
host of friends everywhere. He is not
Dakotaian. He is, or was, the privat
secretary of Vice President Hendricks
The sudden death of that eminen
statesman left Hugh East in the lurch
and he needs an Office. No Dskotaian, b
he republican or democrat, will bt
grndge an office to the man who stoo'
80 close to the man whom the peopl
chose for the second Office in their gif
Mr.. Hendricks was consistent. He
respected by republicans as well Q
democrats. because he stood by hi
principles and friends. Those who di
agree With such O man, always beliey
in him, because they know where to fin
him. For Hendricks sake, Hugh Eas
is to be taken care of. He will be give
good office in Dakota. Some GOO
patriotic democrat in the territory wi
have to suffer disappointment on th
account, but none will begrudge the 0
fee to East.
James A. Ward is prominent cand
date for the goyernorshIp of Dakot
. He will never get there. He is tc
young, and his candidacy will only NAL
! him enemies.
