OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY.
GRAND RAPIDS. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST z.


The election " November. lssS, was
ful OF surprises, bat nothing more
startling has happened IA thus locality
than the sudden conversion of those
somewhat Conspicuous Bourbon Demo
erats, Mr. james BLAIR, postmaster, aud
Mr.. +. ". Ball, eltor, to the cause OF
Civil Service Reform. Rash indeed
would have been the man who would
have dared u predict tbs during the
hot contest OF last fall. But & IS even
40. The report Of the Civl Service
Commisaon.on the Grand Rapids post
ofice has done 10 all.
Our readers Will remember that when
the commission was ln tins city charges
were made by certain employees IN and
out OF the service, showing that the
law with reference tO soliciting contri-
buttons in the government building for
political purposes had been violated
here. These charges affected Mr.
Blair, the postmaster, and Mr.. c. a.
Hudson, the chief clerk in the railway
mail service. When confronted with
the sworn athdavits, Messrs.
Blair and Hudson strenu-
oujy denied the charges,
and exhibited letters from some Of the
witnesses IN which they stated that
they had never been asked for money
for political purposes and had not con
trihuted t. The editor OF the Democrat
at TINS time Landed tae oficial conduct
OF Mr. Blair In column of editorial
praise. and stated that The Republican

terzed ia thc same paper rs utterly uu-
founded.
When the comm lssion returned to
Washington it received seven additional
aihiavits corroboratug the charge
against Hudson and showing the c.r-
cumstanCes under which the excuipa-
tory letters we're written. These letters
were dated June lU, $50, and the COM
MISSION arrived June %. 1850. l. was
a singular thing that they should
have been written AZ tins part euIar

that they should have been

they wrote the letters at Iluds0n's re-
quest. Tie report Of the commission

THE LEGISLATURES,

The TRIBUNE presents, this morning,
the biographies of the territorial officials
and the members of the eighteenth leg
islative assembly, taken from advance
sheets of "Long's Legislative Hand
Book" A study of these biographies
discloses some interesting facts. There
are twenty -four members in the council
and forty y-eight in the lower house. The
political complexion of both houses is
republican with big R-there being
but two democrats and two Independents
in the council and only one democrat in
the lower house, and he elected by re-
publican votes from strong republican
district. Over one-half the members in
each house came from the farm, and
three-fourth of the members were edu-
Gated in the common and high schools.
The following table explains itself:
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

CAPT. VAN ETTEN, member of the house
from Hyde county, is credited by the
jamestown Alert with being considerable
of a statesman as well as temperance lee
turer. It says:
The people Of the territory will find him
one OF the wise law makers who believes
IL dealing fairly with all kinds of enter
prises. The Farmers Alliance plan of
establishing supply stores or furnishing
goods among themselves, he believes is
not a liberal and just one to numerous
towns and merchants of the territory, as
the business men are naturally dependent
on farmers and farmers on them. Speaking
Of the railroad interests, he said it was not
his policy to vote for any law that would
cripple or retard railways in Dakota. He
mentioned that at the South Dakota fair at
Mitchell, the only thing cheap in attending
it was the railroad transportation OF cent
a mile. The hotels. hacks and fair associa-
ton charged big prices for every thing and
the visitor could not help but contrast the
liberality and enterprise of the roads favor
ably with that Of the agriculture society
and the town it held forth in.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11
ONE of the most striking in a,

One of the most striking in appear
ance, and ripe in experience, members of
the legislature will be Hon. r. Lowry of
Huron. For a number of years he was
receiver of public money in the Huron
land Office and : enjoys the distinction of
being one of the few land office receiver in
Dakota who has succeeded in getting his
clearance and release" papers from the
department at Washington. Usually it
requires a life time to effect a final set
Element. Mr.. Lowry, by personal ap-
peal, in person, to the president, effected
an innovation to this rule and as re-
suit, he and Uncle Sam are square. Mr..
Lowry is an old Pennsylvania, re-
markably active and well preserved man,
and his counsel and advice will be of
value to those in the legislature of less
experience.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

The time named in the jamestown
committee convention bill for the elec-
tion is bad. March 5th is too early.
Congress may not act on the bills now
pending before March 4th. They should
be given full opportunity to act. A date
should be selected that congress will be
likely to adopt If the first Tuesday in
April we're to be chosen instead of March
9Th, if congress does not act, notice of
election can be given under that bill, and
no expenee will be incurred. If congress
fails to act, then the notice can be given
under the Dakota law. The people have
endured the territorial condition twen-
ty-seven years. They can stand a delay
of month longer without serious incon-
venience. There is no need of antago-
nizing any friend in congress. and Cox,
who favors action by congress, is now
one of our best friends. To provide for
an election at the date named, might pre-
judice our cause. To give congress full
opportunity to act, but thow that we in
tend to act if they do not, will give us
strength.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

MEMBERS of the legislature are spec
tally requested to furnish Mr.. Louns-
berry in the house and Mr.. Cornellin the
council with the points in important bills
before their introduction in the respec-
tive houses. Often few moments ex-
animation of a bill with word of ex-
PLANTATION enables the reporters to give a
clear idea of measure, and to be of SER
vice not only to the member introducing
the measure but to the people interested
in its passage. It is sometimes difficult
to do this after the bill is introduced. II
may be done without disadvantage to
any one often during the preliminary
work Of the session before the order Of
introduction of bills is reached. The
TRIBUNE wants to cover the ground
fully and respectfully asks the cooper.
alton of the members.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

Mr.. Atkins resolution for the division
of Dakota was timely. It was too bad,
though, that Captain Burnham's demand
for the roll was not heard by the pres
ident of the joint convention. Every man
would have voted aye and many desired
to go on record. But as there was no
dissenting vote it may be assumed that
all are on record. The resolution will
save the necessity for memorial to con
gress which would have consumed time.
The North Dakota convention bill will,
of course, follow in the same line.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

REPRESENTATIVE A1KFNs in his canvass
for the speakership, was weakest in his
strength. He was entirely too confident
and when approached as to the organiza-
tion of the committees he gave no salts
faction. The impression gained ground
therefore among many of the new mem
bers that the old members, who were
generally supporting him, would re-
ceive better treatment than they and
they naturally preferred to take their
their chances with the new member.
The friends of Mr.. Kieth declare that
they demanded and received no specific
pledges. They only asked to be assured
of fair treatment. Aikens was under
stood to be the avowed opponent of the
railroads and Mr.. Keith must have been
considered the friend of the farmer and
of the farming interests for of the thirty
three farmers in the house twenty-three
were ranked among his supporters and
ten among his opponents. It is to be
hoped for the good of the territory that
no bad blood will grow out of the con-
test and that the defeated will congrat-
ulate themselves upon the fact that
neither the integrity nor the ability of
the one chosen can be questioned.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

The combinations of the day before
remained mistaken in the organization
of the legislature Tuesday. The caucus
nominees were all chosen to the positions
for which they had been respectivel,
named. The results foreshadowed in the
house caucus as to the subordinate off
GERS were all reached and the result was
acqmesced in without murmur. This
argues we'll for the future. The session
will doubtless be as harmonious as il
will be important.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11
A SOBER LEGISLATURES.

The members of the legislature already
on the ground prove that the last terri
torial legislature will be freer of factions,
bad bloodand personal and local antagon-
ism than any legislature meeting at Bis
marck. 1t is not North or South Da-
kota, a Bismarck or Yankton legislature,
but legislature of Dakota. A republi-
can legislature. The members have
probably fewer axes to grind than at
past sessions. They talk more of
measures than men and seem to regard
law making the object of their meeting.
1t is happy sequel to our Legislative
territorial life and will be mile stone in
our infant history that we will point to
with pride. The contests over the Offices
are very friendly and are comparatively
barren of backbiting and unjust insin-
uations. There are plenty of candidates
but they are not dying to win. They
seem to appreciate the fortunes of the
little war they are engaged in and if they
fail they will not be much more than dis.
appointed. The TRIBUNE does not be.
ieve it radical legislature. The mem.
bers are above the average legislatures
in years and speak like conservative men
linen who appreciate the gravity of law.
making. They do not talk as if they
were here to repeal all the statutes and
improve all that are found in the presen,
compilation. They may have some
notions that are not in the books and ma,
want to get them there, but that il
legitimate, and if the notions are al
right the effort at legislation is all right
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-11

Heretofore the most remarkable feature
of Dakota's legislature has been the
large percentage of young men. This
characteristic is reversed in this session,
and instead of the average of 80 four
years ago and 40 two years ago, this year
it is AZ. The youngest member in the
council this session is J. G. Ryan, of
Aurora county, %, the Oldest Robt. Low
ry, of Beadle county, rs. In the house
the youngest member is r. L. Bennett,
of Grand Forks county, % the 9TH of
March next, followed by Hunter, of
Sphinx, and Newman, of Sargent, each
one month older. The Oldest member of
the house is Joseph Allen, of Turner
county, 65. There are in this legislature
19 who were members of tue last legisla-
ture, as follows: Ericsson, of Union;
Campbell, of Brown; Washabaugh, of
Lawrence; Harstad, of Trail; Allen, of
Walsh; Hughes, of Burleigh; White of
Clay; Aikens, of Lincoln: Morris, of
Hutchinson; Jones, of Charles Mix;
Roger, of Jerauld; Patten, of Miner;
Cooper, of Codington; Fletcher, of
Brown; Patten, of Lawrence; Mallory, of
Dickey; Burnham, of Cass; Elliott, of
Ransom, and Adams, of Griggs. Others
have been members of previous legisla-
latures, "Honest Abe" VanOsdel, of
the Yankton district, having been men,
Der back as far as 1874. Hughes, of Bur-
leigh, was member back in 1872, and
Walsh, Of Grand Forks, four consecutive
terms prior to 1887. This is also the
fourth consecutive term for Washabaugh,
of Lawrence.
