AT Its meeting yesterday the Yankton
county republican central committee
affirmed the action OF previous meet
ing of the committee. There was OBJ.
lection to the apportionment made at the
first meeting which promulgated q
convention call, and the committee was
re.convened to consider the objections
and act thereon. The com.
mittee. by a vote of six to three,
decided to stand by its original act. The
complaint is that the apportionment is
unfair, that it gives to certain precincts
larger representation than they are en-.
titled to. and deprives certain Other prs.
cinots of their legitimate representation
in the convention. The alleged basis
OF representation was one delegate for
every twenty-five republican votes. As
whole, the discrimination is made IN
favor of the country precincts and
against the city precincts, though in
some instances country precincts suffer
by the decision of the committee. The
republican vote in the city is popularly
fixed at 500, and in the country at $50.
By city precincts is meant those pre-.
cincts of which the city is part. They
take in o portion of the adjacent
country.
This would give an apportionment oi
twenty delegates from the city and oi
twenty.slx from the country. Instead
OF this, tie committee has given the city
twenty-five delegates and the country
fifty-two delegates. majority of twenty
seven for the country instead of six
Taking the vote of 1880 and 1888 as
basis, the representation would have
been materially changed from th,
figures reached by the committee. Ir
the city in 1880, there were 4O3 republi
can votes cast, and in the country 6O2
This would eptitle the city to seven
teen delegates and the country te
twenty-five. In 1888 the republican vot,
was: City. 4l9; country, 37l. Upo1
this vote the correct representation
would have been: CITY
seventeen delegates; country
fifteen delegates. Under the most favora
BILE construction of the situation tn
relative representation would stant
twenty to twenty.six, instead of twenty
five to iifty.two. Or, had it been deemed
advisable to create larger conventio,
an apportionment of. forty to fifty.twt
would have been just and reasonable
Under the conclusion reached by th
committee the city receives fifteen dele
gates less than its share in the comm,
convention.
Some special examples of how til
country representation was worked ri
and the city representation worked dow
are visible in the figures attached to th
several precincts. For example tn
GAINESVILLE precinct in 1888 cast sixt,
republican votes and in 1880 eighty-thre
republican votes. Under the basis q
apportionment employed this precinc
could not possibly claim more than fou
delegates, yet it is given seven. Utic
precinct, with twenty.three republica
votes in 1888 and forty seven in 1850,
given five delegates. And SC on. throug
the list. Another peculiar feature q
this apportionment is that what
known as the Hanson precinct, adjoin
ing the city on the east, is given no rep
Presentation whatever.
| We have not heard that any one claim
that this apportionment Is Just. 1t wa
simply the result of six votes agains

Thls MAP shows every section surveyed, as

road built to date. 1t is constructed from large
scale drawings of each county, certified as to
their correctness, so that every detail in the
course of streams and every irregularity or
Offset in the section lines can beimplicity relied
on as correctly represented. tbs the first map

contiguous districts covered by land Office sur

ed from large scale drawings furnished BY the
engineers Of the several roads; and the
stations, postoffices and other localities are the
result OF extensive correspondence with nearly
every portion Of the territory. Theimportance
of this accuracy can best be appreciated by
those purchasing or selling plats Of land, where
these facts often govern the market value of
property. Ne other map of Dakota compares

show as plan, part of the adjoining province
Of Manitoba, with its many lines Of railroad
that are destined so soon to bind 1t in common
interest with Dakota, increasing the property
of both, by the inter-commercial relations that
must necessarily arise.

cR0WDlNG THE RANGES

From present indications there i.
great danger of over-stocking the cattle
ranges of the territory. The number
of cattle now on the way and to be
shipped here this season, is cause for
alarm. Especially is this SO of pilgrim
cattle, which are not good rustlers and
unaccustomed to hunting their living
on the prairies, in mid winter. The
idea that our ranges are unlimited and
lnexhaustable, is erroneous, and that
such an impression should tend TO
crowd the ranges beyond their capacity
will work great injury to the industry.
The rapid yearly increase OF native
bands, is in itself, sufficient to cause
serious apprehension, as to the future,
