given this capital controversy consid-
cradle thought during the past six

subject in our own mind. The con-
clusion, however, that we have clear
Iy arrived at is, that the best inter-
ests of Vermillion and Clay county
will be better conserved IL the capital
Is located at Mitchell than they will
by its remaining at Pierre. We find.
by consulting with our citizens, that
a large majority OF u people are of
like opinion with US in the premises.
1t is a perfectly safe proposition to
put Clay in the list of Mitchell coun.
ties. Next week we hope to give at
some length a few of the reasons
which have constrained us to cast
our lot with the great array of ad.

The Mitchell Clarion: Two years
ago last Thursday The Clarion set the
capital ball to rolling and that some
thing has come Of it is evidenced by
tho action of the last legislature aud
the existence Of well-0rganized COM
mittees at Pierre and Mitchell to
conduct a red-hot campaign. Last
week we reproduced our first article
on the subject in order that our
readers might judge how near we hit
the mark. At chat time all talk OF
capital removal was dead, except for
a little nluttering here at Mitchell as
to what might have been.
The Clarion has made the above
statement several times in the past
year. and its editor really believes
that it is a fact. The Clarion, how
ever, misleads the public in its desire
to curry for popular sympathy or APP
proval in its great move made in
Mitchell's behalf. Two years ago the
Clarion was published for the first
time. Nearly twelve months before
the Clarion was born the capital
committee was at work ~perfecting
plans for the meeting OF the legisla-
ture, where Mitchell was so success
full, and all through that year a great
deal OF work was accomplished in
unifying the forces all over the state,
and which the Clarion's untimely an
nouncement of Mitchell's capital as
pirations for a time made the work
OF the committee much harder. 1t
was the request of the committee
that the newspapers of Mitchell
should keep absolutely quiet about
capital matters in order that the
work could be made more effective
and without arousing too much dis
cussion over the state. The papers
worked in harmony with the COM
mittee..on this and all other matters,
and refrained from saving anything
of Mitchell's aspirations. 1t is on.
this basis that the Clarion in the
first issue published made its state
ment Of Mitchell's aspirations and
lnjustly claims a distinction to which
it IS not entitled. This statement is
not made vindictiyely but to forestall
certain matters that are liable to
arise in the near future.
