Dakota who have been here recently
working Tor the division of the ter
ritory and its admission 10 statehood
is Cheif Justice Bartlett Trip. He

Of Watertown, Dakota, preached in

The New York World pleads that
the democratic party has not had a
fair trial. 1t remarks, 1T was not a
fair trial because the democratic par.
ty neither controlled the administra-
ton Of President Cleveland nor lays
claim to having controlled it," And
yet the democratic party not only
elected Mr.. Cleveland for the presi-
dency, but Endorsed his administers
ton by nominating him for a Sec
ond term. 1t is rather late in the

tempt to shirk the responsibility for
