After The araus-Leader Man for Send
ing His Paper News.
Pierre, Jan. I3 Especial to the Ar
gus Leader. "A smile of retribution
clothes Judge Planners front OF Jove,
and his cIinkey auburn locks glow
with joy. He hath demolished his |
enemy and hath vindicated his sorely |
woundt d dignity. Henceforth his |
pathway is cleared of obstacles. and !
nought remains Ia mar the alteration of |
the muititudes which fancy pictures as
u reward for his governing the state. |
Long suffering is the Judge, slow to
anger filled with affairs of state. and
far above personal jealousies and am
billions. No mere personal assault
on the interests Of the state would
arouse his ire. When the peace and
dignity of the commonwealth is threat
ened, however, ano the majesty Of its
rulers assaulted. he rouses himself from
his usual modesty.
Yesterday with face Of stern deter
mination he rose TO a question of per-
sonal privilege. with voice trembling
| with emotion and tears starting from
| his eyes. he read an extract from the
| Argus Leader saying that ''people do
ter message than Judge Palmer And
another which stated that it was ru-
| nored the judge bad made deal with
| Speaker Coivin by which all railroad
! bits would be sldetraeked in the house
III prevent any one from stealing Judge
Palmer's thunder. With rising elO-
quenee he declared that We're he
mere private citizen he would pass
| these oltrages unnoticed, but being
clothed with the honor and dignity of
a representative from the county OF
Minnehaila. he felt that these assaults
wese insults TO the senate of which he
was a member. With most impressive
emphasis and q wealth Of tell ig ges
tures be declared that there was more
/
iron post than truth in the paragraph
read With his hand on his heart he
affirmed that the gentlemen from Cod
ington and the gentlemen from San
born knew a. much as be. and no more,
of what would be contained in the gov
errors message than did he until it
was given out the night before the in
auguration.
Such an attack was an outrage on the
: great party which is represented. and
the ole, honorable gentlemen who had
led 1t to victory. They fully warranted
, denying to their authors The privileges
| | Of the floor but as this was their first
offeuse he would defer to serve a
penalty 10 another time. but would Of
fer resolution, and would ask that it
, be referred to a committee to give the
culprits opportunity to prove their
: statements or apologize. He then in
PRODUCED the following resolutions:
Whereas. as untruthful statements
; concerning members and officers of the
) present legislature have been published
i 10 the Sioux Falls Argus Leader and
/ Minneapolis journal: and
