Melville W. Fuller, the chief justice
that is to be. il much exercised for
fear that he viii have to part with his
handsome mnstaehe before going upon
the supreme bench. 4 custom which
has never been broken DEGREES that no
chief Justice shall wear hair on his up
per lip. As Mr. Fuller's mustache is
his pride and his one adornment, how
ever. he threatens To defy precedent
by elingiug 10 il. In doing this he
takes courage from the example of
Grover Cleveland. who was the frs;
president with face smooth except
for a mustache. The first five presi-
dents we're clean shaven, and the sixth,
John Quincy Adams, had only the
fainiest suspicion Of tuft of hair
under each ear. Jackson was clean
-haven. Van Buren, wore side whiskers
of the English cut. and Harrison.
Tyler, Polk, Taylor. Fillmore, Pierce
and Buchanan eloriei in faces that
we're free of hirsute adornment.
Lincoln's face was usually clean
shaven. though he sometimes wore a
short stubhy beard. Johnson was al
WAYS clean shaven. Grant was the first
president who wore a fun heard, but
he was not long to enjoy the distinction
Of t.eing the only president thus
adorned, for Hayes and Garfield fol-
lowed the fashion which he had set.
Arthur wore a mustache and magni-
ficent pair of side whiskcrs, and Cleve-
lands face bears n mustache alone.
The innovators in the matter of
whiskers have been John Quincy
Adams. Grant and Cleveland. and it
remains to be seen whether Fuller will
have sufficient nerve to break the su-
preme court precedent. He is now
fully determined upon doing so, but
there are those who believe that he

Hand County press. (Miller, Dakota [S.D.]) 1882-1893, 1888-05-24

Beth Col Plumner and Judge Moody
who head the Dakota delegation to Chicago,
possess fine intellectual endowments, are
gifted orators and splendid entertainers.
At the request of Judge Moody, the dele.
gates and alternates convened immediate
ly after the adjournment of the James
town convention and while elated with
success the Judge reminded them they
were honored with the privilege to take
part in what promised to be the grandest
Republican convention ever held in the
history of the party; that they had the
further honor Of representing the grandest
territory in the Union; territory possess
ing 600,00o citizens whose political prive-
leges were being outraged by the domin-
ant party; whose cause was espoused by
the Republican party and would be made a
prominent issue iu the: coming campaign.
He thought it becoming in q delegation
representing a territory of such preten-
tions as Dakota to go to Chicago in shape;
secure headquarters at the Grand Pacif c
if possible where they could entertain in a
befitting manner, To that end 1t was de-
oided to assess the delegation for contin :
gent fund, while all were feeling in good
humor, $50. for each delegate and S75'
for each alternate. The money was put
MP forthwith, making a neat little pot OF
s2,250. OF course the boys will be Obliged
to double up on this few times ere the
next president of the United States is
nominated. The delegation will leave
Aberdeen in special car, when they start
for Chicago.

BIG CASINO.

Is the card to be played by Dakota at the
coming National Republican convention.
The Territorial convention at jamestown
was by all odds the largest, most harmo-
nious, most enthusiastic and earnest Re.
publican convention ever held in Dakota
Fully GOO visitors were present. and of
these 400 were delegates. On the day pre-
vious here was convention Of Union
League clubs, at which several hundred
enthusiastic young Republicans We're pres
ent. EiRhty-six out Of eighty eight coun-
ties in Dakota we're represented. The
convention decided to elect ten delegates
and ten alternates- from North and
six from South Dakota. All are strong
divisionists-- in fact the convention would
entertain no other sentiment. 1t was very
much of surprise to the South Dakota
delegates to find such strong and
hearty division sentimsnt among the
northern people. A ringing appeal to the
people Of the United States was presented
setting ferth the claims of Dakota to ad-
mission.
The following delegates were selected
to Chicago: Judge Moody. of Lawrence;
Hansborough, of Ramsey; Hubbard, Of
Cass: Richardson, Of Grand Forks; Plum
mer, of Brown; Hopp, OF B.ookings; Fos-
ter. of Sphinx; Bailey, Of Minnehaha; Sulli-
van, Of Aurom; Bogart, of Bon Homme.
Altsrnates-Fowier,o of Pennington; Gill
bert, of Turner; Sehnauber, Of Yankton;
Baldwin. Of Hand; Orr, Of Walworth;
Laird, of Hughes: Sprague, Of Walsh;
Tuttle, of Morton; Gray OF Barnes; and
Harris Of Burleigh.
The following resolutions we're adopted:
The Republican party Of Dakota, in con-
vention assembled, takes this opportunity
of renewing allegiance to the principles
of the national Republican party.
Resolved, That We are proud OF its his
tory and its achievements, and bel eve the
day not far distant when IL will be return
ed to power.
WHEREAS, We hail the advent Of anoth-

FUSION.

The Union Labor, United Labor and
Greepback parties all held conventions in
Cine innati last week. They attempted TO
unite, but 1t wasn't to be expected they
would agree even with themselves. The
Union Labor executive committee thought
the Greenbackers wanted the earth. and
should be sat down upon. This will be
somewhat Of surprise to readers here
abouts, where it is generally understood
the Union Labor party literally means the
Greenback party rejuvenated. II was
agreed that Union Laborers would not fuse
with either Of the old parties, This is
the usual talk earlv in the campaign, but
We have observed several times in the past
they usually fuse with the Democrats be-
fore election occurs, OF course the DEM
ocrats get four -ffths Of the benefit, if any
results, but the old Greenbackers, Union
Laborers, or whatever name they may go
under, don't realize this until after election
hence their usual oath to never fuse again.
We expect the same thing to occur in
Hand county this fall The Democrats
and "Labors" say they wont fuse, but they
will. In fact we suggest to them to fuse
on county Superintendent. We would
like to see one OF these fellows who believe
they can educate the world put up for the
people to vote for or against

ORGANIZE.

The Republican party has been so much
in the ascendency in Hand county that
organization has not been necessary. Ac-
cepting the word of the thinkers" alias
the Labor leaders, it is timo now to or
ganize, otherwise we will have no possible
chance at the coming election. Athorougn
township organization should be started
at the convention called for June I'd. Re-
publicans are displaying great enthusiasm
all over the country, and We may as well
have little of the fun here in Dakota as
not. Besides complete organization will
have saiutary effect upon the party and
politics in general,

The convention at jamestown was stri,t-
ly young mems convention. The strong
and abiding faith Of the young men in the
party of heroic record-the party the
nation would turn to to-day If the country
was in peril, is something inspiring. II is
as sage a remark as its enemies can offer
that the Republican party has seen Its
day because IL has filed It's mission" but
the chestnut is not borne out by faots. All
admit its record is grand but remember
its one pre- eminent element is progress.

stand by the good Inheritance given them

up with some new and untried scheme

DAKoTA's PREFERENCE.

II matters little to the political powers
what Dakota's choice may be ON presiden-
tial candidates. However, at the James,
town convention it was deemed hest to
express no preferment on this matter. An
attempt to instruct the delegation to Chi
cago for Blaine was most emphatically
suppressed. What the party cares for
most and what is most to its interest is to
have Republican nominated who can be
elected. However it was made evident the
majority present preferred Blaine, and as
seems the case all over the west, Gresham
was second choice.

Heaps of Mail,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-THE presi-
dent elect passed the day quietly at his
residence, receiving a goodly number of
neighborS and some friends who called
and reading letters and Eastern papers.
Since the day after election Gen. Harri-
sons mail has steadily increased until now
it has reached mammoth proportions.
This evening it required an express wagon
to haul the bundles of letters and bags of
newspapers that had arrived since Satur.
day. About 1900 letters and several
bags of newspapers comprised to.day's
mail. Something like eighty kilograms
we're also received to-day, mostly OF con-
gratulatory character as also his letters.
Heretofore Gen. Harrison has aimed to
reply to every letter, if only to acknowl-
edge its receipt, but with such an extraor-
binary increase he now finds the task will
be too great for him TO undertake.

A Kick From the South.

New YORK, Nov. IA Charleston,
S. c., special says: The Ne10s and
Courier publishes 0pruiUus ot-th thirty
county chairmen on the situation. One
of the leading Democrats in the state Gre
ated a sensation by saying:
] for one I'M getting tired of being
used as a catspaw to rake chestnuts out of
the fire for Northern politicians of the
New York Hewett, Hill and Grant stripe.
For twenty years or more these people
have been using us to secure their selfish
ends. The solid South has been used as
a catspaw by them and the solid South is
a solidifed fool if it does not kick over
the traces. What would l do? Why, do
this. | would have a convention of South-
ern states. Let the convention meet and
discuss the situation. Let us say to the
national Republican committee: eve
are tired of this thing. and we want to
break through the traces. Give us your
assurance that you will leave us alone to
manage our state affairs and that you will
give us decent federal officials in the
South and we will break up the solid
South. We will cut loose from Tam
many and the county Democracy and all
the rest of it, and vote for the best man
for president, whether he be Republican
or Democratic.

The Resources of Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The COVER
nor of Alaska, A. P. Wineford, in his
annual report to the secretary of the in
tGrTJr, states that while the population
has not greatly increased, he estimates
that there are 80, 900 natives. The total
population is 40, $50 and of this number
ara e $500 whites, 1000 creoles and 1905
aliens. In regard to the settlement of
public lands, he states there are more
squatters who are waiting legislation from
congress, which will enable them to Sc
cure titles. All the salmon factories in
the territory, seventeen in number, are
located on public lands. He asks favora-
BILE consideration by deputy of the bill
now pending before congress providing
for the organization of the territory. The
governor says that as far as he knows
there are no practical farmers or gardeners
in the territory. The only obstacle in the
way of agriculture, in the opinion of the
governor, is that lands are not available
for settlement. He says the climate is
favorable and the soil rich, and he sees
no reason why Alaska may not ultimately
rival Montana and Wyoming as a cattle
country.
The stamp mill on Doubgas island,
which the report says is the largest in the
world, has an estimated output of $3.50,
900 in gold for the month. Other gold
mines are being developed in the same
island and the report notes the sale of
four claims for 81, 800, 900.
Promising silver discoveries have been
made and the governor thinks there is
enough coal in the territory to supply the
whole of the United States for centuries.
The governor reiterates his charges made
in his last annual report relative to the
violation of the law and the i'll treatment
of natives by agents of the Alaska Com
mercial company. He credits the com
pany with adhering faithfully to its con-
tract with the government as to the num-
Der Of seals to be killed on the seal islands
and the treatment of the natives there,
but elsewhere in the territory, he says,
where the company rule is supreme, the
people are little better than serfs of that
powerful company.
