with his young wife. He will not have
the time and he will not take the time to

Moreover, I have direct infor-
nation to the effect that he is displeased
with the rumor that has been started.
The members of the cabinet are also
to the reputation which has been
given them in the matter. I have been
informed that he called one Of his cabi-
net officers to account, recently. He
said that he had a letter from o certain
Republican ofice-holder, complaining
that a certain honorable gentleman had
written him, telling him that unless he
resigned he would be removed, and that
he 1.-THE honorable) had been SO informed
by the cabinet officer under whom the
Republican was serving. The member
of the cabinet denied the statement, and
the honorable gentleman will not get
any Tor appointments in that depart
ment. He has barred himself by lying.
You can't blame tina victors for wanting
the "spoils." That has been the Gus
tom for years, and will continue to be
for many years to come. But, when it
comes to lying for them and misrepre-
senting the president and his cabinet,
that is carrying the joke too far and is
politically dangerous business. There
may be nothing bat truth in the COM
plant that the president is too lenient
with the political foe who would knife
him at the polls, Or in the press, if he
we're a candidate, but that il like the
flowers that bloom in the spring, it "has
nothing to do with the case" No one
has any right to run the administration
for him. And, moreover, no one will
be permitted to do so.
1 am informed that Brother Allen,
late U. S. marshal, has been dropping
money in the Hills for nomination pur.
poses. have reason to believe that my
friend Raymond dropped not less than
$1,000 out there, and he just got four del.
egates. OF course it costs money to
make a campaign and get the boys in.
terested, but whoever attempts to pur'
chase q boom in the Hills must have a
Vanderbiltarian purse, and then he will
quite likely get left. The Hills are pretty
rich now and can get along in the boom
business without gobbling up the scant
dollars of the candidates for COMPRESSION
al honors. / hope that Bro. Allen vii
save a few of his pennies. He may bt
the lucky winner Of the race, but even i
he is, the place isn't worth much. You
see a delegate has no vote and can't sci
his influence as q congressman a an(
hence can't afford to waste any change
on the position. 1t is not uncommon
for some successful congressman tt
spend $4,000 to $4,000 upon a cam
paign for an Office which they can holt
for two years, and get $4,000 out of, il
the way of salary; and yet, those sam,
congressman get rich. How do they dt
it? Why they sell their votes and influ
ence in committees and III the hous,
to lobbyists.
Mr.. G. G. Frost, of Huron, is here, AM
desires me to deny for him that he is
candidate for any office. He says tina
he has withdrawn his papers from til,
interior department, and is merely on
visit here to remain until the adjourn
ment of congress. He also says tina
he is not in the field as u regular col
respondent for Dakota papers. He say
that he has sent out o circular to all o
the papers in the territory, but that h
does not contemplate corresponding
with any of them except during tn,
session of congress. He ayers that h
will remain here only two weeks longer
No appointments are beng made il

I note that it has been recently denie'
that there is any one particular persol

1t is not wise to kick against the pricks

Democratic friends in that state that
