MAKING WAY FOR CAMPBELL.
His Organ Trying to Kill Palmer
as a Candidate.


YANKToN, OAK, April 13.-The Press
and Dakotaian of April contained the
following editorial paragraph:
s'The hand of Ordway is again visible
in Dakota politics and shows itself early
in the campaign. He has plan and the
major part of it is to secure DakOta's
congressional seat for his friend and
judicial standby, Judge Palmer. Rep
resenting the Damon and PythiaS OF the
days of rank corruption in Dakota, they
are still hand in hand for the consum-
nation of their SchemeS-One OF which
is the admission of Dakota as one state.
Upon this platform Palmer is listed for
large following in the North and by
posing as pretended diviSioniSt in the
South he hopes to gain enough from this
section to bring him the nomination.
There is no man who can and would do
Dakota more harm in congress than
Palmer He is now strong before the
people, because he is not generally
known. In Yankton, where he has lived,
and in Sioux Falls, where he is now
living, he will be unable to muster any
following, but the localities which have
not learned him through neighborly in
tercourse are under the misapprehen-
sion that he possesses greatness and
goodness"
On March 81, three days previous to
the publication of the foregoing item,
the Press contained an interview with
Hugh j. Campbell, on his return from
Washington, from which this quotation
is made:
'.Mr. Campbell ascertained beyond
doubt that MI. Ordway had not been
mixed up in the admission fight, and
he says that the eX-eXecutive worked
earnestly for the passage of the Sioux
reservation bill. Mr.. Ordway is entitled
to a vote of thanks from South Dakota
This paper is at present busily en-
gagged in killing off Republican dele
gates for congressional hOnors. When
it shall have accomplished this under
taking the Press will trot out its own

HURON, OAK, April 13.--ArticIes Of
incorporation of the Forest City IL South

News was received here yesterday that

via Huron and Sioux Falls, to Chicago.
The project has been under considera-
ton several months and is being backed
by Eastern capitalists, a number
of them experienced railroad men.
Since the enterprise has assumed tangi-
BILE shape the people of Potter county
have been greatly encouraged aud are
beginning to believe they will in the
near future have ample railroad facili-
ties. Forest City has taken on new
life and donned holiday attire in an
ticipation of the building of the pro-
posed road Her citizens, who are the
enterprising and ambitious sort, will do
their part in furtherance of the enteI-
prise. Already Forest City is reaping
benefits, for not only is the town being
brought into prominence, but several
new enterprises have been inaugurated,
one of them
A LARGE HOTEL,
which j. NJ. Taylor, of Bath, is arrang-
ing to build. A number of the exeur-
sionists that arrived from the East on
Wednesday went to Forest City to look
the town and country over. Some of
them will be certain to remain and cast
their fortunes with those already COM
fortably housed in that brisk little city

Don't Want the Delegateship.

Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dak., April 13.-Gov. Church
arrived this afternoon. He says he is
not seeking delegateship to the st.
Louis convention. His only desire is
that men be sent who will faithfully
represent Dakota and her Interests:
that only clean, honest Democrats be
chosen, and prefers that they be in har-
mOny with President Cleveland. Church
has no interests beyond those noted, and
emphatically denies the reports that he
seeks the honor.

SIOUX FALLS CONVENTION.
How 1t Stirred the BillOws of
Local Politics.


Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, April 13.-The pillows
of wrath are still heaving to and fro
from the storm of Wednesdays political
convention. The defeated Republicans
and kicking Democrats, who tried to
steer the convention for Day, lay their
defeat now to the presence in the con-
vention of ssa mob of railroad graders"
yariously stated at from 400 to 1897
the latter being CaldWelPs estimate.
This, of course, is all the vaporing
of the indignation which always results
from an ignominiouS defeat. 1t is the
same spirit which makes defeated
base ball team explain their lack of
scores to the partially of the umpire.
As matter of fact, there were in the
convention tWenty-Seven railroaders
who have been here since October or
November-many of whom are voters,
and all of whom are Democrats. But to
say that twenty-seven ignorant railroad
graders could out-scheme and Out-vOte
the Day Democrats here-asSiSted
as they were by dozens of Republicans
is to make an admission which must be
more humiiiating than an ignOminious
defeat. The trouble with the anti
Church gang was that they lacked votes,
spirit and organization-three lacks
which are always very liable to be the
father of defeat. Their post-mortem
kicking is, of course, natural, but it is
certainly ill-timed and almost ludicrOuS.

Taken to the Insane Asylum.

Conductor Edward J. Leedom, of
Reading, who recently became insane
on his train,wa brought to the Harris
burg asylum last week. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Leedom's troubles originated
from excessive smoking, and that with
proper care he will soon be restored to
health. At one time it was thought
his lungs were affected, but critical
examination proved that such is not
the case. He was then put under
treatment, advised to stop smoking,
and recovered. Finally he resumed
the old habit, smoking as high as
twenty cigars day, and his present
condition is attributed to nicotine
poison. He was accompanied by G.
b. Beaver and Officer Joseph Kaucher.
At the depot in Reading he appeared
cheerful, because a telegram was
shown him supposed to be from a
friend in this city. Messrs. Beaver
and Kaucher said they had business in
Harrisburg, also, and that they'd go
along. When TIE train arrived in this
city a cab was in waiting, and NJ. Lee
dom was induced to get in, and then
driven to the asylum. Conductor Lee
dom has very many friends in this city
and Reading who wish him a speedy
recovery. Many say that cigar smok-
ing is not the cause, but that his brain
is slightly affected.
