GRAND FORKS, April 27.-A more alb
Surdly false statement could not be con-
ceived than the one now going the
rounds of the press to the effect that NJ.
l.. Mccormack is the only territorial
officer who stays at his office. 1t is a
well known fact, beyond successful con-
tradictiOn, that no man ever held Office
in the territory of Dakota who spent so
little time in his office as the honorable
secretary, or one who gave duties of his
office so little attention as the one who
at present enjoys the emOlumentS of
the office of territorial secretary. 1t
is also fact that no one
holding a territorial Office under the
present administration, except McCOr-
mack, has asked for and received two
months leave of absence and gone to
Washington and devoted his attention
and time in abetting schemes to hamper
the territorial administration. McCor-
mack lives here and our people are al
ways glad to have him with us, nor do
they blame him for spending as much
of his time here as possible, but it is
unmanly and unfair for him to boast of
doing that which he has neglected to
do, especially when he makes this
claim in the interest of a political
scheme. The statement that he has not
violated the
CIVIL SERVICE LAW
is also untrue, if taking hand in poll
ties is violating that law, for he has
been here i'll Grand Forks for two weeks
past carrying on fight against Gov.
Church through his nephew, Walter
Daugheny. This nephew, under the
direction of his mighty uncle, has been
in every county in North Dakota and
did his level best by foul or fair means
to secure delegates for Day. While
Macs work was harmless, and no one
has any fault to find with him, he does
himself an injustice by permitting such
| false statements to be published about
! himself. We are all proud of having a
fellow townsman so highly honored as
| Mccormack has been by the present adj
ministratiOn. but don't like to see him
| evidence such strong indications of the
| big head, especially at the expense of
! truth.
| A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of ID. p. McLaurln
| as postmaster at this place gives general
| satisfaction. He is one of the pioneers
| here and man of sterling integrity, up
| rightneSS and honesty and an unim-
| peachable Democrat. He is a large
property owner and one of our most en-
| terprising and best citizens. A better
appointment could not have been made.
| He had the Endorsement of Gov. Church,
and it can be said to be distinctiyely
| Church appointment, although he had
the Endorsement of a number of our
leading business men and Democrats.
DOWN ON HIM.
| The people. irrespective of party, are
| justly indignant at the indecent, low
and vulgar publications of the North
west News. Its uncalled for and libelouS
| attacks upon the territorial adminiStra-
ton did the governors cause more good
| than harm, but showed none the less the
bitter, contemplate disposition of its
| proprietor, who is ambitious to be
| leader.
A MANS FRIENDS.
Whenever Republicans commence to
| praise Democratic politician it's pretty
| safe to bet there's something wrong
| with his Democracy. Messrs. Day,
Bierly and Mccormack better think of
| this. The Democrats here who used to
swear by Day have come to the cOnclu-
sion that he doesn't want to take care Of
/ his friends half as badly as he would
like to make it appear, else why did he
not accept the very fair proposition
made him at Bismarck and take care of
his friends? 1t is apparent to all fair
minded people that it is Day first, last
and all the time. The only friend he
ever tried to take care Of was Fatty Ed
wards. His pretended great love for
the party sinks into insigniicance when
he has chance to give Day lift;
hence all this hue and cry of party vim
dication is beginning to fall with an
awakening influence upon every true
| Democrats ear, and they are losing no
time in getting into line with the adj
ministration and leaving Day to fight
his own battle for personal advance
! ment and DISCRIMINATION.
