tCSIs
DEMOCRATS GOING TO VOTE.
Lennox, Oct 31-The democracy OIL
this locality is becoming somewhat de.
moralized, and something will have to
be done, and that very quickly, or the
rank and file will cast a vote next Tues.
day for the constitution and division.
JERAULD FOR PIERRE.
Horseshoe Lake, Oct. 31-The people
of Jerauld county are becoming very
much interested IN the capital location.
A communication a short
time since brought the matter directly
to their notice; and they will heed the
warning gwen and cast their votes
almost solidly for Pierre.
THE NEWS FOR HURON.
Woonsccket, Oct. 3l-The capital ls-
sue for W~oonsocket is dead. It never
did show much vitality, and Yesterdays
Issue OF the News, the accredited organ
OF the anti-Kanouse capital commission,
drops Woonsocket and declares for
Huron. Indications are favorable for a
full vote in Sanborn county on the pro-
posed constitution and the prohibitory
clause, which latter, it is conceded, will
carry by q handsome majority.
LAKE FOR HURON.
Madison, OCT. 3l-The question of the
location of the temporary capital is an
important matter now before the voters
of Lake county. The contest seems, TO
be narrowed down between Huron and
Pierre, but owing to Huron being locat
ed nearly in the center of population,
and near railroad facilities, it is evident
that Lake county will give a large
majority for Huron.
CHAMBERLAIN AT WORK,
Chamberlain, OCT. 3l-Chamberlain ia
making q thorough canvass for the tenn
porary capital, and is confident of uc-
cess, Nineteen dispatches received this
morning from all points of prominence
in the territory pledge us from a majority
to a solid vote.
COUNTY SEAT CONTEST.
Parker, Oct. 3l-The largest vote ever
known in Turner county will be polled
next Tuesday. The cause is the contest
for county seat between Parker and
Hurley. The last legislature planted
the seat OF government temporarily at
Parker, giving the people, however, the
right to act on the subject this fall.
This they will do in earnest. The towns
contrasting for the honor are making a
vigorous canvass, have put up money
sufficient to build and present a good
court house to the county, and on the
strength of this wealth and their loca-
tons the campaign is one of more than
ordinary interest. On the location of
Dakota's capital Turner county will vote I
nearly solid for Huron.

paramount to capital location, and as
they do not expect a line to parallel the
