The President Ignores all Applicants for the Office and Appoints a Personal Friend. WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, June 27.— %!oL Gilbert A. Pierce, of the Chicago Daily News, has been appointed governor of Dakota. There have been a great many ap plicants for the office, most of them being supported by one faction or another within the territory. There were also several candidates from the outside, but more or less opposition to all of tbein. The president finally concluded to take^ the matter in his own hands, and he sent for. Delegate Ray "mond and asked itni i|^itho iappoiutment of Col. Pierce would be aobftptablo. Raymond said it would bo entirely so, and the president instructed that the nomina tion be mado out The annouiifcu ment will be a surprise to Col. Piorce, for he lias not been a candidalo for any office, and was not aware that his name was under consideration for one. It is the president's own personal selection, and an expression of his confidence in Col. Pierce. No faction in the country can .claim credit for his selection, but he will be entirely in dependent of them all. It is not known whether Col. Pierce will accept, but the ap pointment is a flattering one. COL. LOUNSBURY'S VERDICT. BISMARCK, Special Telegfram, June 27.— The news of the appointment of CoL G. A. Pierce as governor of Dakota, created sur prise in this city. It was believed here that ex-Postmaster General Tyner of Indiana or N. C. Derring of Iowa would be appointed, and as the name of Col. Pierce had not beon mentioned as a candidate, the appointment very naturally caused surprise. CoL Louns bury, of this city, who was a prominent can didate for the position, will say in his paper, the Bismarok Journal, to-morrow: CoL G. A. Pierce of Chicago has been appoint ed governor of Dakota, vice Ordwny, whose term has expired. It has been known for some time that the administration was decidedly op posed to the appointment of any Dakota candi date for this position, for the reason that all prominent Dakota men were supposed to be In terested on one side or the other of the capital question, and the appointment of any Daxota man would have plaoed the administration in the position of bolstering up one side or the other in the Dakota controversy to preserve neutrality. Gov. Ordway was suffered to serve bis term and continued untill all legal proceed ings against him wero disposed of, and then one who has not the Blight Interest in either faction, TUB was appointed as HLB successor, and the Journal must say, although the name of its editor has been mentioned in this connection, that a very sensible conclusion lias been reached. The Tribune of this city will.say: President Arthur remembered a splendid friend in the appointment of Col. Gilbert A. Pierce, Washington correspondent of the Chicago News, as governor of Dakota. It will be pleas antly recalled that the Chicago News has the highest and boldest newspaper champion of the president in the fight at and before the Chicago convention. Col. Pierce belongB to that school of journalists who combine politics and journalism successfully. He is a very bright man with popular manners, and we' hon estly believe that he will make a governor that Dakota will bo prond of. It is always com mendable to recognize newspaper men. and the promotion of Col. Pieroe to the gubernatorial chair of tlie big territory is in that line. The TriBtme has no criticism to offer, but sees in his selection a sagacious and satis factory issue of the contest. It will be none the less satisfactory because it is surprising. John A. Bea, who is thick with the Chicago News men and knows CoL Pierce, says he is a capital fellow, and that he will make a governor who will cover his administration all over with horse sense. He will make friends wherever he goes, and if our people-are not reasonably harmonious over Fierce course it will not be his fault. FAKCJO BESPEAKS A FAIB TBXAI* FABGO, Dak., Special Telegram, June 27.— The announcement of the appoint of Gilbert A. Pierce to be governor of the territory bos been received, and diligent inquiry in Fargo failed to reveal any one who bad ever heard of him. There is division of sentiment on the subject of the appointment, as nearly every one here was friendly to some one of the known candi dates. However, there is a general disposition to give the new man a fair trial, and no bitterness of feeling on the subject is shown. The hopes of the freinds of Louns berry ran the highest, and they will of course feel the greatest disappointment. Many refused to express any opinion till the new governor shows his capability or unfitness for the position, in which latter case there Is sure to be a stentorian howl from the politicians. EX-OOV. ORDWAY. YANKTON, Dak., Special Telegram, June 27. —While speaking of the governorship, to-day, before tne appointment of Mr. Pierce had become known, Gov. Ordway sold he himself had not been a candidate for reappointment, and would, under no circumstances, acoept another term with the experience of tne past. He said the new governor would not be iden tified with those who had been'fighting him, but would be a good man and satisfactory the people. He said also that as Campbell refused to join him in the request to the president to have Ordway fully investigated, and allow Campbell to present any evidence he may have at hand against him, he himself had appealed to Secretary Teller and Attor ney General Brewster to empower and direct the commission now investigating Campbell to fully inquire into any charges of corrup tion or malfeasance against Gov. Ordway, and it has been so ordered. Ordway invites anvbody who may know of any corrupt or dishonest act of his to appear before the com mission and state his ease, or forever hold his peace. Col. Pierce has been well known in Western journalism, politics and literature for the last ten years. He entered the army at the outbreak of the war as lioutenant of the Ninth Indiana in fantry, and was soon made quartermaster of that regiment. He was then promoted to be captain, and made brigadier quartermaster. For his services ho was again promoted to be lien tenant oolonel and quartermaster general of Gordon Granger's corps. In 1803 he was made-colonel and quartermaster general of the department of the gull He was made finanolal Clerk of the United States senate in 1867 and served until 1872. when he took a position on the staff of the Inter Ooean. being managing editor of that paper from 1876 to 1880,when he be came chief editorial writer on the Chicago News. CoL Pierce is the author of several novels, plays and magazine essays, and the "Dickens Diction ary,* which had a very large sale. In politics ne has been a stalwart, supporting Grant in 1880 and Arthur in 1884. His person is tall and com manding, and his face rather handsome, with regular features and brown hair, mustache and imperial. He is between forty-Av* aad fifty vrnra nlri. Corn in Dakota. F. M&calpme, of Clark county. Da kota, writes to the Rural New lorker: The greatest number of those -who have tried it have done so on the sod, immediately after breaking. Now that is not giving it a fair chance, as any crop on the sod is at best a poor one. Even wheat, the plant that grows best ki-^dcota, does but poorly when so treahxO^iyhe older settled parts I have seen itglovn oa old ground, and question .very .mtafcuhether it would not comp&rn tobrwlf' fjth any grow* itfianjjftflfifirm 1 seed lios^not been used. Nearly every one who cornea here brings with him some seed, which he is sure will ripen in Dakota, All imagine they have got a good thing, fand keep the name "a deep mystery" till well on the sea son it turns oat an ignominious failure. What did best with me was a white dent, the seed which I brought from Wisconsin. I was told hero it was not worth the planting, as it would be too late in ripeniug but I determined to plant it, and it turned out 311st the re verse of what they predicted. As the result of my experiments, and from the experience of older settlers, I liave no doubt an early eight-rowed yellow corn is the proper kind for this section, next to which I should take an early white dent. Either of these, put 111 on old soil and properly cultivated, would pro duce a crop with as much cerUuuty as JP^any of the adjoining states. ... 00V. ORDWAY'S PROCLAMATION. Se Orders the Secretary and Treasurer of the Territory to Immediately Remove their Offices to Bismarck. VANKTOIT, Dak., Special Telegram, Juno 27.—Gov. Ordway, who has been here for a month past, left this moriiing for a few days' absence at Bismarck.
