Grow CREEK AGENCY, Dak., Aug.
27.-After the pOstponement from last
week until the council was called to
order at o'clock this afternoon, and
they all called to see if all the Indians
were present. Three spokesman had
been selected by the Indians, the orators
being Head Chief, White Ghost and
Chief Bull. The council was held on
the prairie. near the agency, last even
ing, and speeches were made for and
against the ratification of the measure.
Some of the chiefs who are against the
bill are endeavoring to intimidate those
who are in favor of it by threats of bod
lily harm, as was done at Standing Rock.
Intimidation and bulldoZing efforts have
no effect on the younger and more
progressive element. They are indie
pendent, and say they wish to be
allowed to do as they see fit,
and declare that they cannot
be Influenced to any extent by the chiefs
whoHre trying to keep them from sign
ing. Intelligent Indians are raising
objections to the three chiefs being ap-
pointed spokesmen, and insist that each
one should be permitted to act upon his
own Judgement, and that it would be
Impossible for few to express the
wishes of the whole tribe 1t is almost
certain that other plans will be made.
The most serious objection, and which
will be met at other agencies, is the fact
that those opposed to ratifying the
treaty are daily and hourly making their
objections known, and are working in
cessantly to carry their point. Those
who wish to sign are not bothering
themselves to any extent. 1t is be-
lieved that the commission will present
the matter in such manner that they
will claim their rights. Notwithstanding
the interference of those opposed. A
full-blooded Indian named Emeran
White, of Standing Rock, arrived here
shortly after the commission, and has
been urging the Indians strongly against
the bill. AS he was interfering where
he had no right, Maj. Anderson, the
agent, furnished him with pass home
and kindly asked him to leave the res
ervation. Mr.. White claimed that he
was representative of the church and
that the bill should not be ratified. A
number of half-breeds who do not be-
long to this agency and are opposing
the bill will likely be served, as White
was before long, as they are attempting
to make trouble. Agent Anderson says
he will not allow any interference, and
will see that each and every one is al
lowed to do as he sees fit in regard to the
matter.

The labor vote in st. Paul Saturday
night declined to vote for him.
One of his strongest leaders in the

county, made the following speech in

"The members of the Fifth district

plank in the Republican state platform.
They assert that the Republican candi-

gress Goes to Chicago.
AS part of the scheme, some two
weeks ago d. S. Hail, of st. Paul, and
nominee for congress in the Third dis
trict, went to Chicago and there met a
number of Minnesota Republicans
secretly. The object of this meeting
was to discuss ways and means by
which Republican candidate for gov
ernor could be secured who would har-
monize the party and yet be in sympa-
thy with the railroad and grain rings of
the state.
Hall wants Scheffer because he would
carry large vote in the Third district,
but the railroads and grain manipula-
tors gave it out cold that if Scheffer was
nominated they would not support him,
and would help his defeat.
ODUubtS of Merriam's availability were
freely expressed, and McGill was of
course tabooed.
Finally the names of Gilman and
Ramsey were considered. When the
conference adjourned there was half
understanding that Gilman should be
united upon.
