Oughly as do, am ready to follow

"Will Church down Day in the con-
vention?"
Never! unless 10000 Democrats have
lost their manhood. Never! unless 49,
600 Democrats have become towards and
knaveS. No! never will the Democrats
of Dakota consent to the selection of an
unnatural leader to supplant natural
one-the man who led our party at the
last election; a man who has never
asked for anything for himself, and one
who has given his
TIME AND HIS MONEY
to his friends. Do you imagine for one
moment that our Democrats are in
CRATES? Dakota Democrats are Demo-
Gratis bred and born with the principles
of manhood nursed within them. Day
is their leader and their friend, and on
the I'd day of May at WatertOwn in
convention assembled the Democrats
of Dakota territory will reiterate again
their faith and confidence in him.
Such men and leaders as Mccormack,
Maratta, Miller, Taylor, Wilson, john
son, Bangs, Boynton and Ziebach will
never allow new man to step to the
front and dictate to them. At the con-
Oh the right side. 1t will be a
RED-HOT CONVENTION
and some one is going to get badly hurt,
but it will not be M. Ii. Day.
"What truth is there in the report
that Day and his friends are really OPP
posed to the administrations"
'There is absolutely and unqualifiedly
no truth nor even shadow of truth in
such vile SANDER as this which is being
heaped upon the heads of the true and
loyal Democrats of Dakota. 1t is said
that Church is wholly responsible for
such a report, and also that his friends
have been freely using this libel with
the president for the purpose
of not only injuring the influence
of Day but that of his friends
and to make it appear that Church and
his friends are the administration party
to the detriment Of all other Democrats
in the territory. And right here let me
say that | have been reliably informed
that upon this false showing the presi-
dent selected
CHURCH AS THE REFEREE
of official patronage in Dakota. If the
Church adherents were really the adj
pQlu ollo LAY oIu lilo
friends the anti-adminiStratiOn faction,
why, of course, President Cleveland
had no choice in the matter but to do
exactly what he did do"
''Are the appointments being made of
late acceptable to the DemOcratS?'
mo, do not think they are, for the
reason that men are receiving lucrative
appointments who have never been
identified with Democratic politics,
while old-time leaders have been utterly
ignored by Church, simply because they
are all friendly to Mr.. Day. Such is the
sole reason, and such is admitted
even by the adherents of Gov.
Church, and they really have
the impudence and audacity
to chuckle over the way in which
Church is demonstrating his power.
They say, if any man is appointed who
has in the past been known as Day
man, there would or might be some
question as to whose influence gave
him his appointment; hence the more
obscure the appointee is the more con-
elusive is the fact of his appointment
being due to the efforts of Gov. Church.
Day would
SELECT DEMOCRATS,
and men who were entitled to recog-
milton from the fact of their long fidelity
to the party, and natural qualifications
thereto"
SIS Church the referee for Dakota in
the postoffice department."
mo, sir, he is not. He was
for about three weeks, but sud-
denly something occurred to mar
his influence there. and at present the
various appointments are referred to no
one in particular. Church's recon-
mendation is treated the same as any
ones would be. l will add that Day
has lost none of his long time influence
in that department."
will Day be candidate again for
delegate to cOngreSS?
mo, l think not. [ do not believe
that Day would accept the nominal
Day has received all the honor in this
respect that he DESIRES"
"Who will be
THE NOMINEE
if Mr.. Day refuses it?'
"That is certainly leading question
and will be determined pretty much on
whom the Republicans nominate. The
nominee may be either Bangs, Purcell,
Burke, Miller, Boynton, Taylor or Nc
Clure, either of whom would make a
strong campaign and an excellent nomi-
nee."
"Who will be sent to st. Louis to rep
resent your party in the national con-
vention?"
ut is my opinion from this distance
that two names will be selected from
Wilson, Johnson, Bangs and Wright.
The delegates will go to st. Louis for
Cleveland and Stevenson. First Assist
ant Postmaster General Stevenson will
be the Democratic nominee for vice
president, and you can paste that in your
hat for dead certainty"
'DO you expect to take hand in the
coming campaign and still retain your
office?o
Eyes; intend to stump New York
state this fall for Grover Cleveland, if
am compelled to resign my position to
do so. | care more for the success of
our party than do for my office, and I
sincerely hope that all other Democratic
off nj lc will do tho carno
