YANKToN PRESS AND DAKoTAN: Deuel.
county is the only South Dakota county,so
far as is known, that will send contesting
delegation to the Huron convention. This
occurs through the manipulations of

self upon the republicans of the county.
Deuel. county seems to be acting upon the
suggestions of the alleged Loucks circular.
HERE is how Editor Mcclure gets after
the boys: 'rhe Capital is very much in
need of funds with which to pay its ex-
penses. 1t has tried to be paper for
Devils Lake-among other things sucker
will those who owe please pay so that it
can pay those whom it owes-and still be
honored among men-who are not in the
political bath tub.
Pembina Pioneer Express: We certainly
dislike the tone of certain papers whose
editors were among the chief managers of
the successful combine at he late conven-
ton. They are not satisfied with the sim
pie self-glori6cation but sling epithets and
make charges of corruption, which if true,
are no credit to any body in the party,
and if false are equally as disgraceful.
The actual facts are that at least
two-thirds of the delegates were in favor
of Mr.. Miller, and yet the men whom these
papers are abusing came within one vote
of beating the s'new gang" Certainly
there is no discount on the ability of the
old leaders who came SO near snatching
victory from such overwhelming odds, but
1t does show something lacking in the gem
eralship of the new gang" The conven-
tion battle is over; the beaten acquiesce in
the decision of the majority. What more
can be asked. Save your ammunition for
! the common enemy.
The Fargo Argus explains its half size
form as follows:
An old time pressman, who has been
with the Argus, off and on for years, dis
charged several times for drunkenness
| taken back on promise to do better-while
Mr.. Gage was at Detroit Lake few weeks
since-got the press and folder in terrible
state of uncertainty one night and Mr..
Gage had to come back and the pressman
was suspended. He has been hanging
around since, tolerated because he is not a
bad fellow when sober. Tuesday he hoist
ed in some ill-cOnditioned booze and be-
came malicious. Mr.. Birchall, who has
been very sick for several weeks came to
the Office Tuesday, but was not strong
enough to go over the account and so
''Shorty" went down into the press-room
in the afternoon and maliciously took off
several parts of the big press. He threw
some into the sewer, and some he hid in
the corners of the different parts of the
building, and one or two Important pieces
have disappeared so effectually they have
not yet been found. About II O'Clock
Shorty" was arrested by the police, and
said he did it ana would not tell where
the pieces were "until he got check" He
was taken to Jail and before Judge Bar
nett Monday morning, he was held to an
swer. The code provides for severe pun
! ishment for malicious mischief and this
case seems to have been of the most wan
ton kind.
