Soon after the organization of the
convention. we published this item
Judge Lauder cast his fortune with the carpet.
l'agSerS machine, while Andrew SlOtten cast
his with Farmer Fancher, and Fancher showed
'em under!
And since obese and vulgar Mrs.
Billingsgate of the Globe made no
defense Of Mr.. LADDERS action in
the premises, but simply INDUCED
in her native and filthy brawl, are
we to presume there was no defense
to he made, or that she had a fit of
blind staggers and didn't know
what to say. She was on the ground. /.
Read it:
THE TIMES with its usual editorial brillancy,
makes an ass of itself in its efforts to sling mud
at w: s. Lauder and other gentlemen who seem
to enjoy the respect and confidence of Richland
county Republican farmers. The editor Of THE
TINES is looked upon with contempt by the
rock-ribbet Democracy of Richand, but since
me Globe expressed its contempt for the red
commenced to pull his leg" ana he now basks
in The sunshine Of their blear-eyed smiles.
Did Mr.. Lauder support Mr..
Fancher or II. f. Miller !? Is Miller
classed with the so-called farmer
element or the so-called Republican
element? Does the Republican
element consist of Ordway. Pierce
and Allen, or are there others in the
element worth mentioning, and if so
who's boss Does it not work like
a machine-is it not Il machine ?
Does any one suppose that Ordway,
Pierce or Allen would be in Dakota
to-day were it not for Office ?-not
much ! . Then it is no hardship to
use the term carpet-bagging ma
chine, the head of which would not
be here except for Office. you say!
notwithstanding the "respect and
confidence" above claimed. AL
ready they have driven-and GER
tainly with Mrs. Billingsgate's pri-
vate consent--the Hon. John Miller,
of whom we have heard so much,
from the track, in the interest of his
royal nibs. the general! What fea-
lures in Dakota politics afforded
Mr.. Miller any mention or popu-
larity ? Was it the carpet-bagging
machine mot much 1t clearly
was the interests he has deserted i'm
his support of Allen and the
machine!
However, Judge Lauder is we'll
thought of at the convention, but
he doesn't owe any of his good
fortune or opportunities to the Re-
publican carpet-bagging machine,
this time.
And the idea of this vulgar min
compoop, whose empty head is
swollen larger than his bloated
belly, talking about rock-ribbed
Democracy holding THE TIMES in
contempt. This overgrown, stupid
straddler undertaking to lie about
any one on such point is more than
absurd. Why, the blatherskite's
whole career is one straddle and sell
out. She has been on every side of
every question coming up before the
community since she drifted in here
from her bankrupted field in Sar-
gent county. She is one day a Re-
publican, then a Democrat, then a
license advocate and then a prohibi-
Zionist; in one breath she is vim.
dictive, egotistical brawler and in
the next a Shiny odorous boor--full
of deception on all minor points
touched. Two years ago this COM
bnation of bloat and collie and
tester was about dead in the shell
and whining-and being misunder-
stood by the county commissioners
was picked up and fed into life,
only to have the irresponsible and
colicy thing vomit all over them as
it has done in the past few weeks
aud in it's present heroic support
of prohibition !-and getting the
worst Of it, seeks to blame and shift
the fight on to TIE TINES.
And these men who fed the thing
back into life when it was almost
dead and whom it refers latterly to
in the above extract, and for other
sufficient cause, hold the monstrosity
in this sort of contempt, as published
last week
