BIsMARK, d. T., March, 90. - Gov.
Church seems little disguSted
with politics, but is nevertheless
genial and philosophical. He said
to-day in casual conversation that
his duties were done, and added: 81
have not given the matter a great deal
of attention, but / think, as the laws
now are, the trustees for the institu-
lions nave appointed can hold over.
1t will rest with them whether they will
resign and allow the new governor to
appoint. They are now working under
the new act in regard to trustees, which
post dates the tenure of Office act. The
railroad commission is in the same boat.

Offices, as the legislature had vacated
them, and public business must be at

REGARDLESS OF POLITICS.
AS a general rule / do not think my
appointees will choose to act under a
Republican rule. OF course the mug
wumps do not care as long as they get

MADE WAR UPON ME,
but do not think it can congratulate
itself on much of a victory. 1t
made an extravaganza appropriation Of
public moneys over my veto, and did
not provide for revenue in accordance.
Gov. Mellette will be embarrassed by the

attack on me in the house was led by
young fellow who was disguised be-
cause / did not appoint him attorney
general. He evidently supposed Mi.
Pierce would be the new governor, so
while abusing me he was lauding Mr..
Pierce; but he was again doomed to
disappointment. However, a judgeship
is a good thing. and tends to make a
man less erratic and more thoughtful.
The attacking parties being all friendly
to my predecessor in office, Mr.. Pierce,
it necessarily brought him under fire.
The deficiency from public institutions
was much larger during his admins
tration, and his lack of fealty to his
party friends when he withheld his

public money, rendered the little dis
agreement unfortunate for him. / am
a plain Democrat myself, and do not
know much about mugwumpery. l
think Ex-Gov. Ordway will be
the most prominent candidate for
the United States senate from
North Dakota. He claims a
residence at Bismarck, and as he has
lots of old friends in the territory,
among them Aleck Mckenzie. who will
be for him first, last and all the times
and. moreover, plenty of money, he will
make strong showing. His candidacy
may interfere with that of Mr.. Pierce,
as Mr.. Pierce also claims his residence
in Bismarck.
Gen. Allen is strong man. Not that
there is any great amount of enthusiasm
about his candidacy, but his political
record and his private record are both
good, and he likewise is reported to
have the
SINEWS OF WAR.
There are, however, plenty of good
men outside of these candidates who
have fought in the ranks without hon.
Ors, and l would not be surprised to see
such men get to the front.
