THE, INDIAN. RING. A Matter-of-Fact History About the Frauds at the Red Cloud Agency. THE RING’S ORGANIZATION. What Delano and Smith Have Endeavored to Show. ——_-+— A FEW FIGURES AND SOME HARD FACTS. WASHINGTON, July 23, 1875. The Interior Department 1s now occupying it- self and all the available “organs” in endeavorlog to prove to the pubife that the Secretary of toe Interior aud Commissioner Smith cannot be beld ible for frauds atthe Red Cload Agency | the agent was nominated by tne Episco- pal Church, and that, taerefore, all the oMcial | Acys Of the agent, fraudulent and otherwise, are obargeable to that Chureu. ‘This might have some appearance of plausibility if tne Church had the slightest control over the agent after appolut- ment, or if Messrs, Delano and Smith could show that they had not aided and abetted him ia the most important feature of lis frands—namcly, in procuring payment on his fraudulent vouchers, Or if they could show that bis was the unly case m which the Treasury was swindled with the. a@id there might possibly be some doubts which could be construed iu their favor, But tuts 1s not tbe case, And it is a singular fact, capaole of the clearest demonstration, that the Indian Ring | vouchers were always approved and paid by the Interior Department in fuce of the most convinc- ing evidences of traud. THE INDIAN RING _ 1s composed of suck men as D, W. Clinton Wheeler, G. M. Dodge, J. W. Bosler, R. T. Bala. win, and the official representatives in the In- terior Department, A, H. Wilder is anew grait, | and came into power with E. P. Stith, but, al- though bis name and Dodge’s are the ouly ones of the Ring which appeared on contracts, ali the members named had interests, while Bosler and Baldwin actually filled ail the beef and flour con- tracts for the Sioux agencies. Mr. Delano knew Bosler’s Character a8 &@ Comtractor, for he was officially and personally well injormed oo that polat by the report of the Committee on Appro- priations (Report No, 39, Forty-first Congress, third session) and by Mr. Willtam Welsh, of I’hila- deiphia. He was subsequently informed by Messrs, Alvord and Kemble, special commissioners ap- pointed by himself, and who reported to nim in persou, in bis office at Washington, that frauds in supplies were largely practised at Whet- stone Ageney, and that they had no donbdt that the quantity of beef recelpted for was largely in excess of the amount re- ceived, ana they recommended officially a@ Special investigation of the affairs of that agency, covering the whole term o! the then agent, and a@ suspension of his accounts and out- siauding vouchers certified by him unti! such in- vestigation could be had, Tuese Commissioners subsequently furnished ample data for an investi- gation to the Indian Bureau, But G. M. Dodge was then the contractor for beef and flour, and the idea of suspending any accounts of his was not to be thougnt of. | On the 27th of September, 1873, the Board of In- dian Commissioners rejected the becf accounts of G, M, Dodge because of fraud tm delivery at Whet- stone Agency, the Board vaving derived ite know!- edge of the fraud from the report of Coumission- ers Kemble and Alvord. They subsequently re- jected # third voucher, the total amouns of the three being $45,920 14. Mr. Delano himself not | only failea to protect the government by with. | holding payment of these accounts untila thor- | ough investigation was had, as requested by the Board, but wrote to Hon, Nathan Bishop to ask him to a confereuce in Washington tor tue pur- pose of arranging for @ removal of the rejection by | the Executive Committes of the Board, of | which Mr. Bishop was then acting chair- mau. Failing in this, the action of the Board was set aside and the accounts paid, The payment was finally ordered in a legal opinion delivered by W. H. Smith, Assistant Atrorney General, Mr. Delano’s taithful follower irom the Internal Revenue Bureau, in which he gives is a reason for payment, ‘In this critical fiuaucial pertod, when business men certainly need their money, L do not taluk is right to refuse payment * * * | simply because a wrong has probably been done | at some other agency.” Tous Mr. Smith and the department, while aamitting the fraud, paid the de:rauder. About the same time G. M. DODGE PRESENTED 4 OLAIM for cattle sald to bave been taken by Indians, amounting to $5,054 S4. By law the department wus prolibited from paylog this account, all such claims being giassed as ‘“depredation claims,” which could not be allowed until submitted to Congress and specially appropriated for. Yet the | Indian Office approved and ordered its payment irom tbe appropriation for sub- sisting the Sioux. The Board of Indian Commis- siouera first rejected it because of no proof, and the then acting secretary, Mr. Cowan, re- turned it aguin for reconsideration by the Boara- But Mr. Bishop was firm, and, cailing attention to the law, refused to approve it, The account ‘was subsequently submitted to Comgress with the remark “No proof!” set opposite to it, and was finally withdrawn. During the summer of 1873 the atrenilen Of the Board was called to the im- mense quantities of beef for which the agents at the Rea Cloud and Whetstone Indian agencies were giving vouchers and the unltormly large average of weights allowed. A. H. Wilder was the contractor nomiually, but J. W. Bosler filled the contract; although ic was expressly stipu- lated im the contract tuat “no Contract or part thereof will be permitted to be assigned or flied by other parties without the written cdénsent of | the Secretary of the Interior.” Tne Secretary of the Interior was informed by the Board of the assignment to Besler, but he aeciined to inter- fere, d, in fact, sald that ‘“probabiy Bosler could Mil it as well anybody,” or words to that effect, During the month of October, 1873, a@ voucher | for the umount of $90,685 56 was presented to the Board for approval. It was payable to A. bd Wilder tor Leer said to have been delivered at Red Cloud and Whetstone agencies. The Board ot In- dian Commissioners approved the immediate pay- ment Of $33,999 45, that being the amount justly due and allowable at the time, and recommended the payment of the balance ‘in instalments, October 16, November 1, 15 and 20, providing that tne last | instalment should mot be paid until the agent showed that none of the cattle had been lost by death, stampede, thefior otherwise.” Their rea- son jor this action was:—That the agent had ecuurged the government with the reecespt aud care of more (ham tWice us much beet as ne was authorized by contract to receive; and because the amount received shouid have jurnished bee! to the end of November; aud they assumed that | | | | | | | | inasmuch the government had taken the expense of herding off the con | tractor’s hands, cven illegally, #8 was the case, there was Ho reason why the Whole amount should be paid until justly due by tne | terms Of the contract and there was assurance that no loss had been incurred by the unwar- ranted action of the agents. Tey aiso informed the department that they would not, by full ap- Proval, become parties to the illegal transactions of the agents, MI. W. i. SMITE, the pliant Assistant Attorney General, fn an opin- jon, said that “the deliveries were made some- What In excess of the twenty-five per cent allowed by contract,” in accordance with a custom that has prevailed at Indian agencies” “of delivering and receiving more than the exaet quota,” and | that “the question of time, in contracts, ts not, in general, of tho easeuce of the contract It | | mittee on Appropriations am! stated that much > may be, and very often 1s, waived by the parties, 4nd When waived the contract cannot properly De sald to have been violated,” And he recom. | Mended payment, of course. The voucher | was pald. Lest if mignt be supposed that | this eminent ‘Assistant Attorney General” had apy grounds tor his opinion, let it be noted that, first, the detvery was more than 100 per cent in excess of the stipuiated increase of twenty-five per cent, and that It was made from the day the contract begun; while the twenty-five per cent Increase or decr-ase proviso Was made to provide for possible contingencies, which the Indian oMice did not know of up to the date when the voucher was received, and Qid nor plead asa reason for its payment then; and, second, the terms of the contract were not “waived” by the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Board of Indian Commis- sioaers, all parties to the contract on the part of the goverument by law. sNor were they “waived” by any one of the three, there was no authority grauted the agent, either then er at any time durimg the Mscal year, to exceed the limits of the contract, In like manner the department approved and paid exorbitant rates of transportation, exorbi- lant rates for corn, gave private contracts to | the members ofthe Ring, permitted breaches of | contracts, and otherwise actively aided the mem- bers of the Ring. For instance, Commissioner Smith oMecmily reported that the price paid by him tor corn ta 1873 was, “in fact, the lowest mar- ket price in Sioux City.” Ibis report he made to the Secretary of the Iaterlor kaowing it to be untrue, as he subsequently was forced to testify before the Indian Committee of tne House of Representatives; and Mr. Delano attempted to deecive the President tn his letter (contained in x. Doc. No, 128, 43d Cong., 1st Sess.) by msinu- atating that the Board of Indian Comamis- sioners acted on information in their possession, but which they did not give the department; and, about the same time, went before the House Vom- time was consumed in sending vouchers round the country to the various watering places after the members of the Execuuve Vommittec, and many vouchers lost, He knew then that be was speaking What was untrue, WHAT IS SHOWN. It will thus be seen that Commissioner Smith | and Secretary Deluno aided In the commission of frauds, and in violation of law, before Agent Saville’s conduct was called Im question; and that their action had reference to paying certain contractors regardless of the frauds charged to them or the agent, or both, Tbe facts above cited represent only @ small portion of the theits accomplished by their atd, active aud pasyive. They are taken from the subjoined list of rejec- tions by the Board of Indian Commissioners, In nearly every case the action of the B ard was set aside by Mr. Delano himself or with his knowleage.

DYER'S EXPERIENCES, ‘Their support of agent Saville 1s, then, clearly traceable to thelr interest 1m the contractors for whouw Saville was working so faithiully, and when Dr. Dyer, of the Protestant Episcopal Commission, is called on for his testimony he will be able to i show that at his interview in Wastiugtou with | Mr. Delanu in the spring of 1874, the latter, in nis | own way, put @ stop to all further action in re- gard to the removal of agent Saville, which was tren contemplated, owing to the rottenuess ana corruption shown to exist at the Rea Cloud and Whetstone agencies by Mr. Samuel Walker, then clerk of the Board oi Indian Commissioners, Tne history of Mr, Walker’s report and the action of the Interior Department when it waa received there—and subsequentiy, cannot be easily ex. plained by Messrs. Delano and Smith, on the supposition that they were acting non- estly im tne interests of the government, If 18 AS FOLLOWS :— During the year 1873 the Board of Indian Com- missioners became satisfied that huge frauas were practised at the Red Cloud and Whetstone agencies in the delivery 0! beefand other supplies; | and, having called the attention of the department | irequently to the regularities there, without any | result, it was decided to send a special agent to jook mto the matter and tniorm the Board of the state of affairs there. ‘The Chairman of the Board | selected Mr. Walker, and tne latter reluctantly consented to go, Only stipulaving that the Secre- tary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian Affairs should uot be fnformed of his mission util he had gotten so far en route that no compina- tion could be formed to frustrate his object. Mr. | Brunoc agreed to the stipulation, and only | informed Mr. Delano of Mr, Walker's appointment when the latter was about to leave telegraphic communication behind. Mr. Waiker's report of the condition ot affairs | atthe agencics he visited showed a condition of affairs when exactly similar to thoge recently ex- posed by Proiessor Mars. ‘The report was trans- mitted to Hon, Felix R. Brunot, Chairman ef the to the Secretary of the Interior because it nad not | been submitted to the full Board tor action; and, | further, because the action of the Interlor Depurt- | ment during the previous year led to the belief | that tt would be used only for the benefit of the | contractors who were implicated by it; and,as @ portion of the report required the corroborative testimouy of the beef vouchers, it was deemed | wise to withhold it untit they wore presented. | Sirangely enough the vouchers did not come, | arly in Febraary, 1874, Mr. William Welsh, of | Philadelphia, seat a gentleman, a member of Mr. | Delano’s whitewashing conmitteé, to Mr, Walker with a request that the jatrer would, in strict con- fidence, furnish fail taformation to enable him to | detect the frauds at Red Cloud and Whetstone | neios. Mr. Walker complied with the reques: | and juraished ali the facts and private papers in his possession, after exacting @ promise that the | transaction should be considered strictly cont. | dential, It turned out, however, that both Mr, Welsh and Mr. Waiker were deceived, Jor almoat at once full detaiis were given Secretary Delano and Mr. Cowan, and one day afterward au oMcia, | request eume trom the department for Mr. Walker's | report.

BRUNO?, Cualrman. Immediately alter this correspondence the Board held a called meeting, and Mr. Delano thea asked Mr. Walker’s dismissal, making charges o which he could have no knowledge, and which Were untruthiul in fact, and using bogus reo ords” to ald his arguments. In short, he showed sucn a vindictive spirit that the members of tne Board were disgusted, His request was refused however, Lest it may be said that his action wat for any other purpose than the benefit of the In dian Ring, 1t 13 proper to say here that Jim Bosley said immediately beiore this time thar “Walker had put nis foot in it aud must go wader.” An¢ 11 Cannot be suid that Mr, Walker alone was dis liked by Mr. Delano, for Mr, Vincent Colyer, une first secretary of the Board, was driven out by Mr. Delano’s misrepresentations to the President and by the same method Mr. Delano obtained fiom President Grant an order for the dismissal of Mr. Thomas K, Cree, the successor of Mr, Col- yer, the oaly ebjection to any of the gentlemen being fidelity to the trust reposed ia them and unceasing exposure of fraud, Members of the Board, tuo, were always made to feel that they were considered oMcious whenever they pointed out frauds to Mr. Delano and his assistant, Cowan, Mr. Delano and the department officials have since that time pursued Mr, Walker, and when their personal influence failed invoked higher aid In this manner, alter the resignation of the old Board, they succeeded in securing the withdrawa@ of his appointiment under the Comprtrolier of the Yreasury as Register for the Board of Audit. - Be sides this, they attempted to foist so-called rep ords on the public, through their organ, subse quent investigation showing that by the most improper means they had gotten up these rec ords, and that they were, in fact, spurious and en not of record iu the department which they were ated to tave veen received trom. in short, Mr. Delano, Mr. Cowan and Mr, Simtth have at a times shown an absolute personal objection té economy. They have uniformly ulded Wilder, Dodge, Bosler & Co. in their worst schemes oj plunder, and pave invarlably suppressed all re ports or statements likely to lessen tne profits of the Indian Ring, while showing the most vindio tive personal ill will toward all who, for any cause or even by accident, exposed their fraudu. lent practices in the Indian service. itis sald that during YH LAST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Mr. Delano was assessed in the amount of $33,008 as his contribution for campaign purposes, and that the amouat was paid by tne Indian Ring. The secret leaked vut through a quarrel in the Ring aa to the amount to be paid by eacn, and if tne statement 1s true the profits in “off years” must be considerable for all concerned. Certaln It is that the action of these gentlemen bas always alded a certain clique to get money out of the Treasury, while having ample evidence to not only justi:y but compel any honest minded oficial tostop payments; and tt cannot be sup- posed that they aided this clique, to the exclusion of all others, 1m deflance of law and at the risk of personal reputation, trom mere platonic affection, ‘Yheir imterest lay, evidently, in protecting and aiding fraud, and the proofs of their complicity are clear, Wuen the Commission to investigate Professor Marsh’s charges against Agent Saville comes back from Red Cloud Agency it is probable they will make some show of louking into Mr. Delano’s case. (Mr. Smith’s case 14 included in Mr. De lano’s; for, although @ willing imstrument, he hat oly been @ catspaw for his chief.) It will be wise in that cate for Professor Marsh to call up Messrs, Brunot, Stuart, Farwell, Bishop, Cree, Colyer and Walker, with the records of the office of the old Board of Indian Commissioners, In this way the) will get some facts which may throw some ligni on the subject of frauds and Mr. Delano’s action But that Commission ought to have an inspecto: added to it, so that witnesses could be compellet to come before tt and testify, PIDELL.
