Referring to some OF the famous re.

Dakota 10 former years, Ralph w.
Wheelock remarks as follows in the
Minneapolis Tribune:
In the halcyon days of the Farmers
Alliance in South Dakota. Loucks.
Wardell and Cooley composed a trium-
virate which allowed no good things in
the shape of aid societies. Insurance
companies. benefit concerns and the
like to get away from them, and the
books OF each various organization
showed that, whatever benefit the farm.
er himself got, the big three cid not
have to work for their health alone.
But political ambition and hard times
intervened and the com bination was
dissolved. Loucks devoting his entire
energies to politics, while Wardell and
Cooley transplanted their schemes to
southern cllmes where the field had
not oeen overworked Now the former
is advising his friends to have nothing
to do with mis- oldtime fellow laborer in
the alliance vineyard, intimating that
they are more interested in featherir =
their own nests than in laborirg for the
good OF the order. All OF which Illus
trates the fact that it makes differ

A CHANCE FOR THE GOVERNOR

Gov. Lee has q chance to sue the AR
gus-Leader for libel In a recent issu.
the Argus-Leader makes some prett,
stiff charges against the governor ant
| the paper seems TO have its evidence
down pat. Here are the charges made
by the paper:
Alter maintaining dense silence fol
SIX weeks few pop papers are refer
ring to the charge by republican papers
ana particularly by The Letcher Blade
that Gov. Lee was guilty OF bribery.
and are calling such statements a re
Eaah' and worthy Of no confidence
The Argus-Leader made these charges
and they have been reiterated by most
OF the republican papers and confirmed
oy most OF those populists as well as re-
puolIcans who were at Pierre. They
are irrefutable. They can be proven.
we herewith briefly restate them. Gov.
Lee during the Legislative session used
all the power OF his Office 10 intimidate
and brioe the populist mem bers to car
ry out his wishes. He declared that
no populist who favored Kyle's election
should be given an office. His init
mate friend, Commissioner Kirkpat-
rick, wrote to DR.. Sweetland that after
an interview with the governor he
could state positively tina tuuless Sweet.
land would drop his advocacy of Kyle
he could not be appointed He offered
to turn over large share ofthe patron
age OF one state institution and to give
certain other valuable appointments to
small coterie of populists in case
they would favor the pop sinch bills
and made a deal on that basis. He
agreed in return for votes for those
same sinch bills to turn down certain
other men for appointments. His Sec
retary, presumably at his instance, sent
telegram to Vermillion stating that
unless the Clay county republicans
would leave their party and vote with
the pops the university appropriation
would be cut. He called a certain re-
publican senator and certain other
republican into his Office and offered il
this senator would leave the repub-
lcans and vote for the board OF char
tiles bill he would veto the osteopatby
bill. During the fight on that bill a
note from the governors Office was
handed to Senator Wyman, who was
presiding. stating that if he would
change his ruling and allow the bill to
pass, the governor would allow Dr..
Nioau W remaln ds tne aSylumS head.
TEese are only few of the instances
that can be proven. but they place the
governor In a position of extreme gray
ity. He is guilty of bribing the mem
bers, OF agreeing to give them money
and position in return for their votes,
of criminal intimidation under the
statutes in threatening members in or.
der to influence their votes. This is
felony under the statutes and the Ar
gus Leader unqualidedly, clearly and
without reserve charges him with fell
ony
Abuse from the reform press bureau
cuts no figure. If our charges cannot
be proven, this paper is guilty OF the
grossest criminal libel against the
chief executive. The governor has his
remedy. We herewith invite him to
secure an official adjudication Of the
charges.

SOME EXCHANGE NOTES.

Hnrouite: The wheat market has
puzzled tbs Bulls and Bears both dur.
ing the past week. Just how it has
affected the populisss is not known.
Elk Point Courier: The new woman
| is said to be after all very much like
the old variety. but with ali the former
translations diligently compared aud
revised.
Sioux City Journal: Last year Ne
braska and South Dakota settled come
old boundary disputes with a Joint com
mission. This year the old Missouri
river is laboring hard to make another
commission necessary.
Argus-Leader: Auditor Mayhew is
being bitterly attacked for Insisting
that the pop officials show receipts for
their expenses before they get their
money. Reformers don't seem to enjoy
reform when it strikes them.
Lennox Independent: A prohibi-
zionist remarked recently that since
this new liquor law has gone into ef-
feet that people all over the state are
seeing 'airships." We never supposed
for minute that such poor whiskey
vas being sold as all that.
Alexandria Herald One of the
things denounced by the populist state
platform was the custom of state off
GERS living away from the capital and
allowing their offices to be run by dep
uties. Will some of the populistfriends
explain why Gov. Lee is doing this
very thing?
Canton News: 1t is very peculiar
that our business governor in his
eagerness to economic while 'paring
down" the appropriations. neglected to
veto the items in salaries OF his ap-
pointees. who from the operation of
law cannot serve the state in any ca
pacity. except to draw salaries. for a
whole year to come. At this writing
the governors economy appears to run
in streaks and he was very careful that
none OF the streaks should hit his pop
appointees. The poor insane have no
rights a pop governor is bound to
respect

Sioux City Journal: Travelling men
who 60 into South Dakota towns re-
port more hopeful feeling on the part
of the business men than before in
many seasons. The farmers are look
ing forward to an excellent CROP and
this gives encouragement to the mer-
chants and other business men. The
surplus water has now nearly all run
off, and spring work has commenced in
nearly all parts of the state.
There is hardly any apparent reason
why South Dakota should not become
prosperous. net only this year but in
succeeding years. There is strong
spirit of hopefulness in the hearts of
the business men and the farmer that
1887 will establish itself as the year of
plenty.

Auditor Mayhem has established a
little reform himself which does not
meet the approval OF populist office
holders in requiring all state officers or
employees to show up signed receipts for
money expended before the expense
bills are paid. The pops think this is
an outrage and ought TO be dispensed
with. This is conducting the affairs of
the state on business principles and as
this is business ad ministration, .
Auditor Mayhem is doing perfectly
light.
