To the Editor of the Globe.
FARGO, April Cit is about one year
ago that the swearing train left Bis
marck; the applicants far outmubered
the offices, and so grew the actual
necessity for the train, bearing its quota
of disappointments, maledictions and
general cusSing; but to-day it must be
a source of satisfaction to Gov. Church,
as well as the united party, to note the
beneficial results of his adopted policy.
There is subject worthy of the earnest
consideration of every Democrat III the
territory, and that is the contrasting OF
the former policy of the party leaders
cratic party position was for years as
narrow ditch or channel, for better
description say grave, with Day for
headstOne and Ziebach at the foot: the
dry bones of would-be leaders ratified
within, and if, perchance, some one was
buried half dead and raised his head
above ground, an affidavit purpOrting to
fasten upon it eliminating charge flew
to Washington, and weary with the
struggle of earth, the tired head was
pillowed in silence forever. But Day
always claimed to be doing something
FOR HIS FRIENDS.
So he was, just as the headStOne marks
the place of the departed, for he contin--
ually stood above the burial place of
their political s aspirations, alone
marking them, kept himself in
bold relief above the slumbering party.
This forced the national administration
into the belief that this territory did not
possess the material for the competent
conduct of it's offices, and imported abil-
ity naturally followed. Notwlth-
standing the cry that Gov. Church
would fill all the offices with New
Workers., the first one is yet to come.
His policy has been to fill every office
with capable, energetic and reliable
Democrats right from among the resi-
dents of the territory, recognizing no
factions nor personal bias, but selecting
good, clean-cut men-Ward, Mcclure,
Lawler, Rowley, Glidden, Nave, Frank
A. Wilson, Mcfarland, Corbet, Jenk-
ms, Vallandigham and Purcell; all are
such appointees, and scores OF others
could be named. Thus young, faithful
and
LOYAL DEMOCRATS
are being called to shape, mould and
control party movements; and now with
peace established, chickering's over, con-
tentions at an end, there will be grand
rallying of the party around its flag,
that will determine the success of the
territorial government and satisfy the
expectations of the federal administra-
ton, and confirm it in relying upon
local talent to maintain our institutions
and manage our offices. One year and
a half ago, had question of the terrific
rial Democracy been raised, had man
been wanted, the reply would have
been Day with a big d. Now in re-
spouse would come the names of Car
land, Purcell, Inman, Boynton, Lawler,
Webb, Sheafe, Griggs, Swaine, Ward,
Templeton and Mcclure, with others,
until there is no slate in the united
party upon which every Democratic
name does not appear, no ring, save that
embracing every loyal partisan to Cleve-
land. Church and the united Democ-
