The Yankton Combination Fail to
Make Their Little Game Win.


The last township caucus was held Oh
Wednesday evening in Delaware$$ town
ship and although the Yankton crowd ha,
their blowers and strikers on the grounc
during the entire week, they 81 ignally fail
ed to capture the caucus. 1t is sad tt
have been the most hotly contested eau
Gus in the county, and the result was al
uninstructcd delegation, of which two are
for Pettigrew and two for Hand, Hughe:
Ordway & Co. The following is 4 sum
mary of the result in the county, as re
ported to us at the present time:

CONTESTED DELEGATIONS.
Lincoln, t; Highland, );
Total O.
CT the contested townships Highland
is counted to be for PettIgrew on Il full
vote, and it was by holding Il snap eau
Gus before the voters all arrived that the
Combination managed to make even the
showing of a contest. Il is also claimed
that three or four Of the delegates from
other townships are favorable to Petit
grew personally and will be inclined to
throw for him when they fully understand
the double game that is being played to
defeat HIM Several townships that were
known to be solid for Pettigrcw were cap
tured by the opposition who begged as
a personal favor for votes at the caucuseS;
but upon second thought these delegates
will see their error and resume their judg-
ment From all we can gather then we
are forced to the conclusion that Lincoln
county is for Pettigrew by a good major
ity, and that the convention on Saturday
will but mirror the sentiments of the pco-
pie, by selecting eleven good and reliable
men to vote and work for R. +. Pettigrew
at the Territorial Convention at Grand
Forks
Announcement.
My entire stock will be sold at cost, un-
til fall opening, which | assure you will be
complete. Mrs. +. VI. Wells.
