LATEST BUT STILL UNCERTAIN.
sTuh CLAIMED FOR BLAINE

NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. g.
The Republican state committee, ut mid
night, still claim this state by from 5000 to
5000 for Blaine. Their estimates are
based upon the Democratic claims
of gains, which they believe are
not up to the increase of the
vote over 1880. in which case they will
count for nothing. The only way in which
they believe the state can be carried for
Cleveland is by fraud The Tribune
at this hour claims that Blaine has
carried the state and is therefore elected
president Its belief is founded upon the
following figures: Returns from 1,742
election districts outside of New York and
Kings counties give Blaine 3s9,4O4. Cleve-
land 1872, 119. This leaues Blaine's plurality
1925. In New York and Kings counties
the Democratic plurality will not exceed
IS, 557-leaving C!eveland's plurality 1882,
with 254 election districts to hear from.
Those districts in 1880 rave q net
Republican plurality of 4,243. The same
proportion this year would give Blaine 2 ,96l
plurality in the state. The Tribune
now claims the state by 1000 plurality.
There is nothing" says the Tribune sin the
returns from the remainder of the state to
indicate a probability of the Democrats
overcoming that" The betting tonight
has continued heavy in favor of Blaine car
rying the state, many bets at the Hoffman
house being three to one in his favor.
LEAVING TIC CLEVELAND.
ALBANY, Nov. 5.-The Argus will say to-
morrow:
Cleveland is elected, and he will be in
auguratcd. TIL" state is not at all in doubt. It
has elected Cleveland and Hendricks, who
will take the seats to which the
people have appointed them. Commu-
to the Argus to-day from counties
New York state demonstrate the election of the
electors by aconcluslve and safe ma
jority over the Blaine electors. Having been de-
clared Democratic by the people, Now York will
remain, be declared and be counted Democratic,
whatever is necessary to this act Of truth
md justice will be thoroughly and fcarlessly
done.
The latest figures received by Gov. Cleve-
land give a Democratic majority in the state
Of 2,766.

The success during the past year of
the Norwegian liberals in forcing the
King to submit to the impeachment
and conviction Of his chosen ministers,
and to the appointment of a liberal
ministry as the only one able to exist
IN the presence of a determined liberal
majority in the Storthing, has had an
almost immediate effect upon Swedish
politics. During the constitutional
crisis in Norway, the Swedish liberals
met and voted their sympathy with the
struggles of their nelghbors. They
have, quite recently, taken a further
step, and contested the nineteen legisla-
tive seats belonging to the city OF
Stockholm, previously held by support
ers of the government. Owing to their
unexpected activity, and the existence
Of a variety of grievances, success at
tended their efforts. They captured
sixteen of the nineteen seats. Accord.
ing to local writer's, this will result ii
making Sweden a hotbed of political
agitation.

Relocation Of the County Seat

As will be seen in another column
OF the GRAPHIC the board of COM
missioners have issued a call fer an
election for the relocation of the
county seat. Such being the case it
is IN order for us to Kim
ball as a candidate for county seat
honors, and at the same time state q
few reasons why she should be the
choice of the voters of the county.
1t will be admitted by all fair
minded people that the permanent
location of a county seat should be on
a railroad and as near the center Of
the county as possible. BY draw
ing a diagonal line cross the map
of the county from the northwest
corner to the southeast corner and

be found to lntersect at a point 81
miles southwest from Kimball, u
miles from Pukwana and nearly Is
miles from Chamberlain. Not only
this, but Kimball is located a
the center Of the population of the
county by a distance several miles
greater than the foregoing figures.
In proof Of this fact we note that
Kimball does more business than all
the other towns in the county COM
bined. This could not be SO were it
not due to the fact that she is the
most desirably located and easiest of.

more and more apparent and her

kimbafl to Have Two More Tewn
Wells.

A petition is beng circulated and
universally signed, asking the "city
fathers to bond the town for $1,000
for the purpose of raising money with
which TO sink two more public wells
for the better protection of the town
against fire. The exact location of
the wells has not yet been deter
mined, but it IL highly probable that
one of them will be located on the
corner of Main and Third streets
the very place where it should be To-
Gated 1t is the highest elevation on
Main St. and pipes could be laid to
fill any number of public c~isterns ON
the street. AS the business part of
the town grows it drifts south of
course, and another season will find
the block built up on both sides to
Third street. 1t is only a matter of
time when a first class hotel will be
built on this corner. In fact there
are a dozen reasons why a well ought
to be located here, among which we
might mention that when Kimball
has any public doings a well at this
point will be Of great convenience,
being located within so short a dis
lance of the park.
We are too well aware that a GER
tain few wonld like to see all the
town wells located below Second
street and should the city fathers
consider their wishes of paramount
Importance we suggest they fence off
that part of the town and let them
run a little hi of their own, but
which, by the way, the business men
farther up the street decidedly object
to being taxed to support.
