HURON, Oak, Sept. 3.-The fact that
Hon. William u. Hill, chairman of the
house committee On territories, is to be in
this city on Wednesday of next week to at
tend the the territorial fair, will give the
people of South Dakota an opportunity to
see the man who so faithfully and fearlessly
championed their cause in the last congress.
Mr.. Bushnell, secretary of the Dakota
board of agriculture is in receipt of numer-
Gus letters asking if Mr.. Hill cannot be pre-
vailed upon to deliver three or four speeches
in this part of Dakota before his return
East. AS Mr.. Bushnell has not been adj
vised Of Mr.. HIPS arrangements or the
duration of his visit to Huron, he is un-
able to answer the inquiries with any
degree of certainty, but it is certain that
Mr.. Hill will be met by delegations of
prominent men of both great political par
ties and invited to spend some time and de-
liver few speeches in Dakota. 1t has
been suggested that if possible to so ar
range that Huron, Aberdeen, Watertown,
MITCHELL Grand Forks and Sioux Falls
would be the places in which Mr.. Hill
could speak and accommodate the greater
number of people. No matter where he
may go in South Dakota he will receive a
royal welcome.

Campbell For Congress,
u to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The recent sug-
gestion of the name of Hon. Hugh j.
Campbell for delegate on the Republican
ticket, has been quoted from the GLOBE by
all of the Republican. papers of South Da
kota, and seems to meet with their enthsi
astic and almost unanimous approval.
Your correspondent is in receipt of letters
from several prominent DakotainS, heartily
endorsing the suggestion, and expressing
the belief that that gentleman is the natural
leader of his party. upon the line Of
division. The Yankton Press and Dak0-
taian, the leading Republican paper of the
far south territory, says:
A Washington correspondent of the st.
Paul GLOBE takes very intelligent view of
Dakota affairs in a letter. Judge Campbell,
who is so favorably mentioned by the CORE
spondent, is not candidate for any Office,
and has given his support to MIR. Clifford in
the present contest for delegate 1t, how
ever cannot be denied that there are hosts of
men in Dakota, and very many among Judge
CampbelI's townsmen, who would be reJoiced
ii an opportunity should occur that would
permit them TO vote for him.
That is fair sample of the way the ter
ritorial press regards the matter. 1t is not
at all unlikely that there is an understand
ing between Clifford and Campbell, by
means of which deal can be made at the
right time. and Campbell nominated. The
Republicans have no better man. They
have no stronger man,

GIFFORD AND GREGSBY

Special to the Globe.
FARGO. Sept. 3.-The Sioux Falls Mail
claims that the nomination of Judge Gift
ford for delegate will make it easy for the
Democrats to elect their man, but it does
not believe the Republicans will select.him.
He is spoken of as a good, easy, clever old
fellow, who could ride on train forty
miles with ex-Delegate Pettigrew without
discovering him. The Mail. as well as the
Leader, is opposed to division and says
thousands of Republicans will, if he is
nominated vote against Clifford because he
has prevented admission as whole and
will continue to stand in its way. But the
Mail is evidently in error us to the chances
of Clifford. as very few seem enough con-
cerned to put forth the effort requisite to
work up a combination which alone can
defeat him. The Judge has the past week
visited Fargo and the other prominent
points in the north in company with Grigsby
of Sioux Falls, who is for him mildly, but
for Grigsby as strong second choice. The
Judge seemed to think his fences were in
good repair in the north and he did not
smell any African in the woodpile, but he
is not an acute Slneller.

want division, but they are strongly opposed
to it. Their party is committed TO division,
and if the Democrats are Shrewd enough to
put up a man who is opposed to division, he
will get a great many Republican votes, be-

his second trip to Washington in August he
paid his respects to the register of the
United States land patents, to Investigate
the delay of Commissioner Sparks in isSu-
ing the patents in pursuance of the secre-
tary's order revoking the April 3 order, and
the result was readily seen upon Nj. Engle's
return. as over 0ne-haif of the delinquent
patents were issued for the Aberdeen and
other United States land districts for Da-
kota. The honorable commissioner has
reached the conclusion that the settlers of
the Northwest are not such a bad lot of
people as had been represented to him. and
that Mr.. Engle's position in his work for
the settlers last winter was substantially
correct. and not 95 per cent. of the entries
fraudulent.

ALBANY, Sept. 3.-The much-talked-of
sea serpent was seen by Capt. Hitchcock
Just before dark last evening, near Bearen
island. He caught but momentary
glimpse of the monster before it sank. Only
portion of the body appeared above the
water, and the captain said it was as large
and round as the steamer Lotta'S smoke
stack-about three feet-and of dark
color John n. Briggs has conceived an
idea of capturing the reptile and placing 1t
on exhibition. This morning as the Lolita
was making her trip to this city. the mon-
ster appeared again and several miles
nearer the city. The steamer was passing
the rockingham residence, at Stats
Landing, about five miles below Albany.
and Capt. Hitchcock was saluting with the
whistle party on shore, when he was
startled by an exclamation from John ID.
Parsons, who was pointing to the water
and asked, ''whats that?" Capt. Hitch
cock said:
1 looked just in time to see what looked like
q big slate-colored head sticking right up out
of the water five feet. The sides looked Hat
and it was about two feet across. I did not
see any eyes and supposed they were on the
other side. The head stood right up straight
for second or two, as if the animal wanted
to breathe, and then it sunk out of sight. The
place where saw it is the deepest spot IN
the river
Mr.. Parsons said:
"Just as Capt. Hitchcock blew the last
whistle saw big head sticking out of the
water and called the captain attention to it.
It was out of the water and was about the
color of an eel. All appeared to be head. 1t
was rounded on top and looked like post
that had been under water, but it was alive"
A number of river men having designs
on the liberty of the serpent made trip
down on the Lolita to-day to get a look at
it. Further information is eagerly sought
after by boatmen.
