What Dakota Needs.

Judge w. ". Brookings, editor Of the
Sioux Falls Oak Leader, being inter
viewed by the Chicago Tribune on the
condition of business in his territory.
said: South Dakota is admirably
adapted - small mixed farming, and is
already raising more stock, corn and
flax than wheat; consequently our far.
mers are feeling the effects Of hard times
less than in any other portion Of the
country. Over three million bushels of
fax seed were grown this season, that
have been sold at an average of $l.l6 a
bushel Clay and Yankton counties
claim to have each raised this season
three million bushels Of corn From
these ftcts il will be seen that our peo-
pie are in very fair circumstances.
There is no possibility Of Dakota ever
becoming another Nevada, but rather
would be a state like Kansas, with the
exception that, while Western Kansas
is an arid plain only suitable for grazing,
Western Dakota is rich in mineral re-
sources, timber, and agricultural lands
interspersed with innumerable springs
and streams. do not believe any par
ty can afford to keep such people ont
of the Union and deprive them of the
same rights that have been accorded to
all territories. There is another view
Of this matter that it would be well to
consider, and that is, that within the
next four years both Of the Dakotas,
Montana. Idaho, and Washington terri
tories will each have population enough
to entitle them to admission as states.
Both Washington and Montana have
bills before congress now asking ad-
mission to the Union. North Dakota
has much larger population than
either, and is growing fast, beside being
full Of influential men who are engaged
in the cattle business in the western
half ofthe territory. These large pcpu
lations with good deal Of wealth and
any amount Of pluck and energy are
determined TO have hearing in the
next four years, and the party that be.
friends their cause will have everything
to gain and nothing to lose. The ad-
mission of these territories to the Union
as states would enhence the develop
ment Of their wonderful agricultural
and mineral resources, and open thou
sands Of new avenues to our already
over-crOwded laborers and labor Of a
diversified kind, and to a certain ex-
tent furnish work for the idle millions.
Most people dislike to emigrate to ter
ritory. and capital IS particularly shy Of
territories. Nothing seems to be per-
manent in them; therefore capitals
are disposed to give them wide berth,
while there is always rush to new
state. In no better wav can congress
relieve the present hard times in part
than by liberal and just policy i'm the
admission Of new states as soon as they
have the necessary population"

At present there is an interesting dis
cussion going on in the Chicago Inter
Ocean in regard to who cast the prohi.
bition vote in Illinois and other states.
The Chicago Lever, prohibition paper,
has taken great pains to do this, so as to
set at reast the assertion that it was re-
publicans mostly that voted for prohibi-
ton. According to the prohibition
paper it seems that that the vote was
very nearly divided. 1t published a re-
quest like this: will our friends who
can obtain reliable information in re-
gard to the matter please send us on
postal cards the names Of the towns, the
whole number Of votes cast. the number
who have formerly been republican.
and the number who have formerly
been democrats" The outcome to the
above request brought complete returns
from nineteen towns, from which they
made an average. The figures from the
nineteen towns show that out of Ia total
Of ,5lf prohibition ballots cast 797 were
from men formerly republican and 7l9
from those who were formerly demo-
Gratis, difference so slight as TO be un-

worthy Of mention, while Of the nine
teen places eleven show more democratic
than republican prohibition votes, six
show more republican than democratic,
and two are equal in this respect. Thus
it will be seen that the democratic pro
hititionists were quite as numerous as
republicans. With these facts before
us the republicans who have claimed
that st. John caused their defeat can
scarcely add consolation enough to make
many believe that he was the cause Of
Mr.. Bain's defeat.

1t was evident that the Drexel men were
preparing to throw their strength to Daven-
port. On the second ballot Davenport re-
ceived the necessary majority to nominate
him. The nomination was then made
unanimous amid great enthusiasm. There
was great yell from the convention for
Carr for second place and then General
Carr was quickly nominated for the Lieu
tenant governorship by acclamation. An
son $: Wood, of Wayne county. was nomi-
mated secretary of state by acclamation,
James Wadsw0rth of Livingston coun-
ty, was nominated for comptroller, also by
reclamation. The ticket was completed as
follows: State treasurer, Mai. Chas. Ul-
rich, of New York; Attorney General, Ed
ward B. Thomas, of Chenango county;
State engineer, VIM. p. Van Rensaeler.
Ira Davenport, the nominee for gov
ernor, was born at Hornellsville, N. Y,
June %, 1841. His father was an early
settler in that section of the state and an
extensive land owner, the care of which has
occupied his time during late years. In
politics Mr.. Davenport has always been a
republican. He was elected to represent
the Chemung, Steuben and Allegheny dis
trict in the state senate in 1877 and re-
elected in 1879, serving both terms.

CHICAGO, Sept. A.-The American Bank
ers' association began its second days ses-
sion at 1920 o'clock this morning The
first work of the day was the disposition of
a resolution offered yesterday asking that
the silver coinage law of 1878 be suspended,
and substitute, offered by Mr.. Flanagan,
of New York, asking for the unconditional
repeal of the Bland law. Mr.. Hannsn, of
Iowa, offered substitute to the original re-
solution, making the silver dollar equal
with gold. Lost, as was also the Flanagan
amendment and the original resolution was
carried by a large majority. Lyman j
Gage was elected president of the assOci-
alton and the remaining officers were also
reelected. A resolution was adopted a,l.
thorizing the executive council to take steps

Ten Million Dollars in Silve r.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The United
States steamers Swatara, and Yantic, which
have about s1O,400,GO0 in silver coin On
board, were due at Washington yesterday,
but have not been heard from since they
sailed from Key West. A delay in their
arrival is undoubtedly due to the present
countered heavy gales off Hatteras. No
uneasiness is felt for the safety of the YES
sells or their cargo, however, either at the
navy or at the treasury department, as the
vessels are staunch and strong, and are in
charge of able and discreet officers.

The committee on credentials made a re-
port which was adopted. The committee
on permanent organization recommended
that temporary chairman Raines be made
amid great applause and vice presidents
and secretaries were appointed. Chairman
Herrick, from the committee on resolu-

ready to report and asked further
time, which was granted. A motion was
then made to proceed to the nomination of q

ton to proceed to the nomination of a CAN
didate for governor was carried by a vote
of 27O to ITO. j. E. OConnOr, of Chemung,

was elected to the state assembly, and in
1871 he was reelected. Mr.. Hill served

ernor, his majority was 196781, being 1000
