wanting Republicans, VINO VIII, from
this little cloth, attempt to
MAKE OUT A BURIAL SUIT
for the Democratic party. They can
make out from this that there is great
movement going on in the Democratic
party in Dakota, that must eventually
be the doom of that party. How kind
Democratic party! What an interest
they show in all its moves! They can
prove that Mr.. Day is the sworn enemy
of Gov. Church, and yet the. bosom
friend of President Cleveland; they can
prove that he is friend of Secretary
Mccormack, and that together
they are going into the next
convention and choose delegates
unfriendly to Gov. Church who are for
Cleveland. What superb consistency.
What noble delegates these Republicans
would select. What deep men these
would be, who could indorse President
Cleveland outside of Dakota and not in
dorse him within the territorial limits;
who would pet Cleveland and snu6
Church; who would elect a president
who would keep a governor in office
who was distasteful to them. 1t Church
is the awful william that the Republicans
make him out to be. let President Cleve-
expects the support of the Republican
party in Dakota President Cleveland
cannot very well get along without the
support of the Republican party in Da-
kota Think how much it means to
him. If his administration should not

KanouSe, senators, judges, and what not
all--if these all should not be pleased
with President Cleveland-and worse,
if all these fellows should go in and in
dorse Mr.. Day and not Gov. Church
why, it would be terrible! Let us hope
that there is no ground for the follow
ing taken from the abOve-quOted Pip
neer Press:
''Day and Church are both for Cleve
land, but they are not both for Church.
That's the difference. Day wants to do
the voting himself.
There music in the air. The non
officeholding Democrats of Dakota

run the great campaign when Day car
deal. but they have concluded that the
business of lying down and being
stepped on every day in the week is
about played out. There will be fight
or foot race within the next sixty
days.
@"I'he story of a rupture between the
president and Day may be true or not,
but there is a good deal of evidence at
hand of division between the Day fac
ton in Dakota and that headed by
Church in the territory. The Church
faction has the offices and such sinews
of war as come from liberal salaries and
a,command of the public treasury, but
in ali other respects it is weak"
The solicitude of this Republican pa
per is very touching. They are truly
anxious about the condition of the DEM
ocrats, They are fearful about the out
come. Is it not time, after all this
gratuitous advice and limiting from these
friendly partisans, these men who have
a deep interest in the welfare OF the
Democratic party, is it not time for
Democrats to be awakening to these
matters? But they seem to be quietly
ObliviouS of all that is going on to dis
rupt their party. They are
NOT EVEN ANXIOUS
or worried about the condition of the
Republican party. 1t is surely time
that we Democrats woke up to these
dangers. Well, let us wake up. Let
us play that we have just been awak-
ened, and that we have read these re-
ports about the ''division" in our party.
What division is there? They say that
there is some. but what it is they cam
not tell. Where are the facts upon
which they make their statements? Let
us examine carefully. But we find
nothing upon which to base these re-
ports. There are simply the rumors,
the hints, the suggestions; no founda-
ton at all. Nothing to hang them ON.
1t is, as | said in the start, they are all
mere rumors-wild, contradictory ru-
mors-without foundation of fact; they
make news for the newspapers" it's
what has been called politics. That's
all that there is to it.
Following the pointer that | gave
two weeks ago, the Pioneer Press last
week came out with big head,
CALDWELL FOR CONGRESS-"
and proceeds to give, what suppose it
calls, boom for another Sioux Falls
man for delegate. (The Pioneer Press
has way, you know, of following the
lead of the GLOBE, so it wisely follows
the GLOBES boom Of Mr.. GrigSby two
weeks ago with its boom of his fellow
tOWnsman, Mr.. Caldwell.) But this ar
ticle in the Pioneer Press is about the
strangest compound l ever. saw.

t. 1t is like the fifteen-puzzle for mys-
terry, and, if it has no other merit, it's
woful compleXity ought to recommend
it to Mr.. CaldweH's boom, for it will
call attention to it by the mere fact of
its ''what-iS-it'' character. But can
didly, must say that it looks very much
as though there was a scheme in this
article, and if it was written
over a friend of mine, l should be in
clined to feel mad about it. An analy-
sis of this article, which is found in last
weeks Pioneer Press, will reveal many
curious things. First-It will show the
imprints of its makers hands. There
is no doubt but Pierce wrote it. Cald-
well was Pierce'S man Friday i'm his
cabinet, and now he proposes. still
further to link him with his fortunes.
It;will be remembered how Pierce used
this paper to boom himself for congress
and how fiat the effort fell, after a few
punetures from the GLOBE, and how
Brother Pierce, after starting in with a
pretty fair reputation as an easy and
pleasant sort of governor, came out with

smirched as anything could be, and it
will be remembered that Pierce did this
by his own smartness in trying to
divert the Pioneer Press from it's
channel as a newspaper to his own per-
sonal use. This further boom of Cald- |
well for congress looks like something
in the same line, and will probably be |
as quickly set down upon by the Press
1t was supposed that |
Pierce was to be deposed from his posi-
ton on the Pioneer Press by this time,
but it seems, by some ''hook or crook"
that he is able to hold on and continue
to pour out his interesting abuse of his
administration, because it
had the awful hardihood to run itself |
of him. 1t was
