A DISH OF SALAD.

EX-Gov. PIERCE might enhghten the
people about the following: w
How about unwarranted taking from
the territorial treasury of $4,000 for
militia purposes? How does any one
know it was for. militia purposes? If
drawn illegally, who knows where it
went to?
How about the Yankton asylum in
vestigation that was hushed?
How about deficiency at the James
town insane asylum of 500, 377? :
How about deficiency for armory rent
of s155 for each of nineteen companies?
How about deficiency armory regi-
mental bands, 5000? .r...
How about the capitol commission and
issuing Illegally of capitol commission
warrants-withOut any meeting of the
commission, and without the commits
sion having quorum of acting men,
bers-of $4,000 worth of warrants
against the territory. and thereby i'm
periling its credit? .... -.~.-.. -. e.,

How about Attorney General RICE
appealing from Judge FRANCIS deci-
sion on this matter, and your interfer-
ence in the matter and RICE's resigna-
ton?
How about the fact that it all looks as
If the way was at that time being paved
to have an appropriation made by the
Legislature OF 1887 to pay these warrants
from the territorial treasury? And how
about the bill that was SO passed? And
sign the bill, and is this one of his acts
that most hurt? Did you, have any of
| these warrants?
How about 1000 worth of these war
rants being issued forthe shed north of
the capitol, which could not have cost
| over $500? ~@ ie-.:. :-:.a
How did you allow the auditor to do
these things? He never would have
done so only by your direction.
How about deficiency; for railroad
commission for maps, of s293.S3? Why
do you oppose the railroad tax? -7,

Who dictated the bill at the session of
the Dakota legislature in 1885, to re-
move the capital from Bismarck to
Pierre; and who broke his promise to
sign it between IL o'clock and 2 D. IN.
at night, and what was theiname of the
prominent railroad attorney who pre-
pared the veto? -.
| These are some of the heirlooms of
the PIERCE administration.
Where would the treasury and the
credit of the territory have been if such
management had continued, to say
nothing of the attempt to get $50, 600
more out of the treasury on capitol COM
mission warrants, that were issued on
questionable authority, and purchased
for from 40 to so cents on the dollar by
'the gang" and then presented for
their face value to the territory. and
which the action of Attorney General
RICE prevented being paid, land why did
RICE in disgust resign his place?
Wait and see how the deficiencies will
size up under Gov. CHURCH. They will
not approach $4,000 as they have under
your management of government af-
fairs, for the governor has informed all
officials they must keep within appro-
priatiOns, and he has the nerve to do
what he promises. He will veto all
deficiency bills.
bankrupt treasury" It's too funny !

Private information received by Da-
| kota parties from members of the Aber-
deem delegation at Washington indicate
very great confidence in the ultimate
success of their mission. They find
| that no other effort can possibly accom-
plish anything. The senate may per-
haps allow one of the division schemes
to go through, with no expectation of it's
going further-but even the Republi-
cans there are not so anxious for two
DakOtas as the partisans of that move
ment imagine. Assurances are given,
it is claimed, that in due time both
houses will be found to have majority
favorable to giving Dakota an enabling
act for the formation of one state.
