The only reason that Mr.. Craw-
ford or his friends can give for
charging the stalwart republicans
with being instrumental in bring
ing charges of land fraud against
him, is that certain stalwart repub b.
licans were heard to discuss the
probability of such charges being
brought before the grand jury. Is
this competent evidence of guilt ?
Then we may just as truthfully
charge the insurgents with insti-
eating similar charges against J..
@. Anderson, a stalwart republi-
can, as we heard insurgent repub-
licans discussing those charges in
Scotland before the grand jury
which indicted him assembled.
Who instigated the charges against
Tommy Ayers, former private Sec
retary of Governor Lee, now under
indictment? Who instigated the
charges against Stearns, stalwart
republican of Ft. Pierre, who has
been tried and convicted Who in
stigated the charges against the
Rev. Mr.. Ware, the Episcopal rec
tor of the church at Lead, who has
been tried and convicted of sim
liar offense? The fact is that gov
eminent inspectors have been dill
igently Investigating every clue that
might lead to such violations of the
land laws, and many prominent
men, even United States senators,
have been caught. There were
clues that seemed to indicate such
guilt on the part of Mr.. Crawford
but we are glad that on investiga-
ton they proved insufficient to
warrant an indictment, and his
record remains untarnished. But
now foolish, when others equally
as prominent and highly respected
as MIR. Crawford have been brought
before the bar Of justice, either to
prove their innocence or suffer
conviction, to charge the investi-
cation of charges which on their
face seemed equally as suspicious,
to conspiracy.

The Scotland Journal says that

The Scotland Journal says that
a solid county delegation will be
sent from Bon Homme county to
the state convention pledging its
support for Gamble. Bon Homme
county has a candidate for state
treasurer in the person Of Hon.
Paul Landmann. The Journal
has declared its loyalty to Mr..
Landmann, though in justice to
its consistency we confess that it
has not said a word in his favor
since. II now promises, we sup
pose With ample authority, that
the delegation from this county
shall be solid for Gamble. Has
Mr.. Gamble promised the support
of his county 10 Mr.. Landmann I?
Has the Senator's home county
ever done anything for a candidate
from Bon Homme county? Yet
the Journal humbly lays the Bon
Homme county delegation at the
feet of Mr.. Gamble as a free gift.
For a paper that is really loyal to
home candidate, as the Journal
has declared itself to be, it seems
real mean for it to take forcible
possession Of it's home delegation
before that delegation has even
been elected, and give it away un
conditionally to an outside candi-
date without ever question as TO
the effect of that gift upon the
home candidate to whom it has
promised allegiance.
