a Corrupt Railroad Commission.

Next to the governor the Free Silver
Republican Machine which Is contr0ll-.
ing the fusion forces makes its highest
claim on the railroad commission. One
of these commissioners is running for
reelection, Mr.. Tompkins. When
treasurer Of Pennington county Mr..
Tompkins in his final settlement with
the state treasurer RENTED q draft for
$1S8 which was afterward protested. He
has never made it good and the state
while paying him his salary regularly
has tried in vain to collect the judg-
;nent recovered on this account last
year.
Tho railroad commission instead Of
allowing the attorney general to prose-
instead of employing good lawyer,
gave fatt retainers to three favored
Pop attorneys two of whom have put
in regular charges while doing prac.i-
'cally no work.
They employed Judge Palmer as ono
though they know that the constitution
expressly prohibits any member of the
legislature from profiting by any appro-
priation for which he voted.
They have in ell Of their moves
against the railroads taken into their
counscls messrs. u. S. G. Cherry, C. O.
Bailey and jesse Boyce who are the
regularly employed attorneys for tho
railroads to resist the prosecution un-
der the big Law.
They have concentrated all Of their
efforts toward investigating and pros
ecuting the Milwaukee road which has
a Republican attorney and have indefi-
nitely postponed the S against all
the other roads represented by the
three railroad attorneys above named
who are their political sponsors.
They voluntarily and without inves-
tfgntfon or warning went into court in
June and confessed judgment in the
cases of the Great Northern and Omaha
railroads and asked that permanent
injunctions be issued forever forbid
ding reduction in rates. though these
roads have practiced as great as great
Ter extortion than any others.
They made a long and highly expen-
siye trip to Washington, d. c., with
three attorneys and clerks. for the os-
tensible purpose of taking Senator
Pettigrew's testimony and then failed
to ut him on the stand when It was
learned that he had received fifty thou
sand dollars from the Great Northern
for inducing Sioux Fails and Yankton
to buy the right Of way and that Presi-
dent Hill had contributed $4,000 to
Mr.. Pettigrew's campaign fund.
They made afidavit that they had
paid Judge Palmer $500 for fees "a
their counsel. thus trying to get that
sum out OF the state treasury against

Judge Palm.r's Crooked Schemes.

Judge Palmer, one Of the little co.
terie OF d~iscredited. Republicans who
are now controlling the Populist party.
is a candidate for attorney general. In
the legislature he was chairman Of the
railroad committee and changed the
big law SO that the railroad commits
sion could employ extra attorneys in
stead Of using the attorney general as
is done in Iowa.
He induced the commission to en-
iploY him at a big fec, though knowing
that the constitution forbade n legis-
latiye member to profit by an appro-
priation for which.he voted.
When the auditor refused to. pay the
fee on this ground Judge Palmer on
behalf OF the commission sued for $500
and presented his sworn AFFIDAVIT that
the commission had paid him 5000.
This in November last. In March he
sued the state on his own behalf for
the same bill and presented his afida-
Wit that he had not received a cent,
AS attorney for the railroad commits
sion in the Great Northern and Omaha
cases he voluntarily vent into court In
June and confessed judgment in those
cases and asked for a permanent In
junction f%orbidding any reduction,
though he knew that the case. against
those roads was as strong as against
any other. Z
As chairman of the railroad commit
tee of the senate r reported adversely
the bill allowing bicycles to be carried
as baggage and now gives as treason;
through the Sioux Falls Press that
Harry Hunter appeared and argued
against 1t.
While making a great show OF re-
turning his pass at the beginning Of
the session he later applied to the rail-.
roads for passes and to clearly indi-
cate guilt asked that they be made ont
In the name Of Smith.
eeing refused by the governor the
right to name the warden Of the penf-
Tertiary he agreed with the old board
TO defeat the charities bill and keep the
old board in power if they would allow
him to distate the patronage.
He declared ON the floor during thu
Kyle election that the Populists had
mot brains enough or sense enough to
manage the government when they
got It"
