Beadle Cotnfy Politics.

HURON, Oct. %, 1SS4.-The Beadle county
Republican convention was held in this city
yesterday. It was a genuine ''cut and the
fourteen delegates from Huron precinct
voted as a unit for the ticket according to
their instructions, and this ticket carried. 1t
was the city VS.. the county and the city came
out victorious. 1t seems to be the fact that
the candidates residing in Huron worked
up the county, and that the country pre-
cincts were somewhat luke-warm in the mat
ter and allowed the aforesaid candidates to
''fix'' their c2ucuses for them. Some of the
Huron delegate were represented by proxy
and these probes made a lard fight against
the unit rule plt without success. The dele
gates from the north part of the county
fought Huron until about half of the
ticket was nominated when the convention
adjourned for supper. 1t had become appar-
eat to all the opposition that their case was
hopeless one, and they made the evening
session perfect farce. AS soon as nomn
alton was made the chairman of the Altoona
delegation would rise ard state that if the
gentleman nominated was from Huron. that
he would, in behalf of the people of the
north end of the county heartily second the
nomination. Postmaster Cain, tone of the
editors of the Huron TinaeS,) arralgned the
gentleman from Alt ona for seeking to turn
the convention into a farce. and tried to
show that when a man was elected TO an Of
flee that he was obliged to come to the
county seat to live, and that it was a recog-
nized party rule to reward one faithful term
with second term. The gentleman from
Altoona called out ''why did you not recog-
nzc that rule at Pierre!''
A. ~ %
the Huron delegation to the convention that
nominated Clifford, and there has been
great deal of dissatisfaction expressed in re-
ference to the action of that delegation while
Pierre 1t is believed that Huron has ''sown the
wind and will reap the cyclone" in two years
from the present time.
The Huron Leader of this week has a half
column article which is headed as follows:
"a high handed outrage by Postmaster
Cain. He insults the Republican territorial
committee and refuses to allow its speakers
to hold a Republican meeting in Huron
The article alleges that Mr.. Mcllette, chair
man of the territorial committee, notified
Mr.. Cain. who is the chairman of the Beade
county committee, that Thomas Sterling, of
Worthwhile, had been appointed TO speak in
Huron on October 20, and requested him to
Sterling arrived in Huron he found that no
preparations had been made for the meeting.
He called on Mr.. c. and asked if he had re-
ceived Mr. Mellette's notification. Mr.. Cain
said that he had, and that he supposed he
(Sterling), was coming here to speak for the
regular Republican legislative ticket nomi-
mated al Redfield, and that he CAIN, would
do nothing that would help that movement.
The speakers soon separated. Mr.. Sterling
went to bis hotel and cancelled nine engage
ments 10 speak west of Huron.
As to the truth of the above, we are not
prepared to state. We give it simply as it
appears in the Leader, but if it is fact il is
certainly an unwsrranted act on the part of
Mr.. Cain, and deserves just censure on the
part of all. We, as Democrats, would have
felt bard towards Mr.. Cain if ne had refused
to give formal notice of q Democratic
speaker under similar circumstances, and
feel 10th to believe that he could have served
his own party thus, even if they were an op-
posing faction
The Republicans hold rally to-day.
The Democrats have hopes of electing
their county ticket, as the recent actions of
the Republicans have given the Democrats
additional strength.
