OF INTEREST TO DAKoTANs.
George Matthews Said to Be
Booming Harrison Allen.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-There is
row on hand which will interest Da-
kOta people, and it will put George
Matthews in the soup, unless all signs
fail. 1t is stated by parties who know
that Matthews has promised to sign,
and probably has signed, recommend
alton for the appointment of Harrison
Allen to be governor of Dakota. lnaS-
much as Matthews lives in South Da-
kOta and expects his future political
favors from Moody, Mellette, Edgerton,
Pettigrew, Clifford and the rest of South
Dakota huStlerS, it would appear that
he is anything but wise to thus antag-
oniZe their dearest wish and fly in
the face of fate at the same time. 1t is
known to every tyro in Dakota affairs
that the appointment of Mellette as
governor was settled at the Chicago
convention which nominated Harrison.
The fellows who come swooping along
in the rear of the procession can never
learn territorial affairs in their COM
pleteneSS. NoOne can prevent, nor even
hinder Mellette's appointment. Who
ever Stands in the way of Juggernaut
must grind beneath the CORY sacred
wheels. Whoever gives Endorsement to
I1ttl iCOli L1ilCll MdSlCS HIS SWttlllGSS OH
the desert air, and yet they say George
Matthews has done it. If he has, then
in South Dakota, like the IShmaelites.
every mans hand may be against him.
There is another Dakota item of i'm
portance which has just allowed itself
to oOZe out. The entire membership of
the house committee on territories of
the Republican side signed to-day
Recommendation for the appointment of
Mellette TO be governor of Dakota,
and it was presented tonight
to Gen. Harrison by Congress-
man Baker. of New York, who is
the oldest Republican member of the
committee. This is the biggest boom
ever given to a territorial gu6ernatorial
candidate. The house to-day passed
the senate bill granting the right of way
TO the Forest City Railway company
across the Sioux reservation. The bill
was taken to the White house by Capt.
Hassler, WHO'S interested in its passage.
and it will be signed tomorrow. The
Sioux reservation bill was called back
into the senate to-day after it had passed
that body and gone to the enrolling
clerk. Senator Dolph was under the
impression that Mr.. Holman, of Indiana,
to the bill, but upon proper information
had certain objections to amendments
from John King and Senator Dawes he
withdrew his objections and allowed
the bill to go in its regular course. 1t
will probably be signed tomorrow morn
Ing, as the president understands it, and
will not waste time Oh it.
The evening Star says: Dakota bub-
bleS over with wild Western enthusiasm
in the Endorsement of Representative
Samuel Sullivan Cox, whose words of
eloQuence. truth and justice have done
SO much to convert the Democracy into
friends of the admission of the new
states. The DakOtians are distribut-
ing huge sclices of grateful eulogy TO
all the friends and advocates of their
cause; but in view of the special value
OF Mr.. CoX's services as an effective
missionary to the Democrats in secur-
ing speedy admission on satisfactory
terms. his slice is extra large and full
OF ralSlns. 1t is proposed to name after
him new Dakota county and several
thousand new Dakota babies.''
The GLOBE got straight tips last
night on Rusk and Clarkson. Rusk has
no chances left, and Clarkson will be
secretary of the interior.
