Sparks must go watchword for Northwest delegation
The Northwest delegation should adopt the phrase Sparks must go this winter in Washington. North Dakota has secured the U S district attorney, the marshal, and the secretary, while South Dakota chose a surveyor general and the chief justice. Ziebach as governor would balance the gains. The Yankton Press notes Secretary Eller is merely a Republican and Teller will open a law office in Yankton after his residence is built. Day in Yankton claims Ziebach will be governor, while Boynton opposes division. Dispatches say Cleveland rushed upstairs to confirm Hendrick’s death, the issue of a headless republic looming. Colfax’s death follow-up is cited as illustrating sudden fatalities.
