Republicans and imported men TO office.
The Church delegations. he claimed.
did not represent the people at all, but
were officeholders, the creatures
of Officeholders and men who expected
to become OfficehOlders. In no sense
was the anti-Church movement 10 be
construed as a stab at Cleveland.
/ Cleveland had done we'll by Dakota in
some instances. as he had told him, but
in this matter of governor he had
failed. He was heartily in favor OF
/ Cleveland, and when the ST. Louis con-
ventiOn renOminated him he would take
off his coat and spend his money to elect
him.
THERE WAS NO QUARREL
with Cleveland: it was with Church
personally for interfering in violation OF
the presidents direct order with what
did not concern him. and with the prin-
clple Of carpetbaglSm which brought TO
Dakota the methods which prevailed
under the carpetbaggers in the South.
He intended carrying his charges against
Church. with proof, to the president. and
if he disavOwed them, would lay them
before the senate. As for himself, he
had intended going out of politics. would
do so after this one matter was settled
and would have done SO before had not
the cry been raised that he was dOWned.
Now, so Tar as he was concerned,
it was war to the knife. All Of
which goes to show that Mr..
| Day doesn't cherish very lOveT-like
| feelings for Gov. Church. Day claims
! that there will be large Independent
/ faction in the convention which will be
! anTi-Church. if not for Day, and would
/ be also a victory for the following he
/ represented. In rebuttal the Church
men claim that the Day fol-
! lowing is composed exclusively OF disap-
( pointed Of1ice-seekerS and their friends.
and are merely for selfish reasons
1 aiding Day to crafty personal spite.
Curt Winston. of Sioux Falls and Col.
Steel, of DeadwOod. are also suggested
by the Church people for temporary
/ chairman. Consideration OF names for
delegates to St. Louis is postponed
until the question of supremacy is de-
cided. but ii is the opinion OF both sides
that the outcome will be the
SENDING OF TWO DELEGATIONS
to St. Louis. and the fight grows more
bitter every hour. and the one prevail
ing sentiment on both sides is TO win at
any cost. The territorial committee
will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing and the convention will be called to
order at , o'clock. About 800 delegates
have already arrived and the
others will be here on early morn
ing trans. Scheming and wire
pulling of the most vigorous kind is 60
ing on at both headquarters tonight.
Church people claim that the independ-
entS are really i'll favor OF Church, but
! { that they express no preference now, as
! they wish. until the decisive moment
comes. to hold alOOf from either side.
Late information is to the effect that
the territorial committee will succeed
in finding way to clip the
wings of Judge Bangs SO that
he will not have the power in the COM
mittee the Day people expect from him.
Bangs, by the way, was disappointed, II
appears, for the DEVILS Lake land Of
fee. A cold rain is falling. but Water
town is not prohibition town, and the
delegates manage to keep comfortable.
Among the names spoken OF for dele
gates by the Church faction. are Col.
Steele, Of Deadwood, Mat Ryan, OF
Fargo, and Mcclure, of Pembina.
SOME FIGURES.
The committee of tiv6@SppOinted by
the Church men to find out every dele
gates preferences has made a private
report. From a member of it the infor-
nation is secured that they stand as fol-
lows: Church III. Day "a. Leaving
III to hear from. of whom the Church
men claim they have three to Days one.
Members of the SO-called Independents
have, the Church men say. declared for
them. SiXty-siX counties have thus Jar
reported. If this proportion is main
tanned. the Church faction will have an
easy working majority. 1t is developed
at the Church caucus tonight. that this
afternoon Judge Bangs. OH behalf of the
anti-Church faction. made proposition
that they appoint one member Of the
delegation. This the Church men claim
would result in Days retaining his
place on the committee. something they
will not have. The offer was accord
ingly rejected. The Church men prefer
to fight the issue out as it stands, and it
now looks as though they had good
ground for their confidence in winning.
The Day men deny any offer to COM
promise and say they, too, are eager for
the fray and confident as to its
outcome. Denny Hanniin expresses
the situation as follows: The Day men

quarters that Gov. Church is in the city

cluded quarters Of a friends house.

denied by the Church leaders.
and investigation fails to reveal
him. but the claimant of the theory in
support Of it urge that the leaders are
evidently in speedy communication with
him, and as yet they have not been de-
tected going to the telegraph office.
Days people have decided to try to
make Judge Bangs temporary chairman.
Late arrivals have largely added TO the
Church strength and the followers of
the governor are becoming very conf
