THE GRANT COUNTY SITUATION.
Special to the Globe.
MILBANK, OAK, Sept. 1S.-The follow
ing delegates were elected to-day at the
Republican county convention to the teri
torial convention at YanktOn: D. NJ.
Evans, j. w. Bell. A. B. Smedley, F. A.
Eldredge, j. c. Knapp, Harry Hoculom.
o. j. Scheie and Sidney Drake. A reSolu-
tiOn was offered and adopted. which was
undoubtedly intended to instruct the dele
CATION to vote for Clifford as long as there
was any show for him and afterwards to
use their best judgment, but the way it was
wOrded leaves wide lOOp-hole for dele
gates to vote as they please, and it is doubt
full if Clifford has secured the solid vote Of
Grant county. The delegation was made
up, undoubtedly. more in the interest of
Col. Smedley, who desires to be returned
to the legislature. than it was for any par
ticular candidate for the territorial dele
gateship. and it is quietly under
stood here that if Col. Smedley
gets back to the legislature he
will be prominent applicant
for position on the board of railway and
warehouse commissioners, and that Judge
West. the present secretary of the commits
sion, will have to give way for Col. ID. NJ.
Evans, editor of the Index and brother of
W. NJ. Evans, the late county treasurer. who
is at present member of the railway COM
mission. Out of sixteen towns in the
county only three were represented in the
convention to-day, Milbank. Bigstone City
and MelrOSe, the latter Col. Smedley's
home. The county at large was not repre-
sented, and it is claimed the farmers are not
in sympathy with the schemes of the politi-
clans who ran the convention to-day.

Brown county, in convention assembled. does
heartily indorse the policy Of the present ma
uonal administration in carrying out, in the
various departments of government, those
principles of reform and economy which are
the foundation of national prosperit. that
we denounce as antagouistic to the best in
terests of the citizens of Dakota the schemes
Tor the division of our territory on the forty
sixth parallel; that we see no reason why
the producers of Dakota should be compelled
to support two state organizations, when
one will answer a better purpose; that we
declare ourselves in favor of the lowest pos
slble taxation consistent with good govern
ment economically administered; that we
recognize the fact that the producers of the
territory are already overburdened by taxa
ton and the encroachments of monopoly
and organized capital: that we extend the
hand of fellowship to all persons struggling
to correct these abuses and we do most
cordially invite the farmers of Dakota to CO.
operate with the only party that can afford
them relief. the party of the people, founded
upon principles of true Democracy

HOulahan: auditor. ". j. Brewster; sheriff,
II. e. Hamilton; attorney, James Wells:
probate judge. F. Brott; coroner, Ole

missioner Fred B. Smith No instructions
were given the territorial convention dele
gates except against division. 1t Is not
known whether Engle is favored for con-
greSs or not. It was the largest county
convention ever held here, and was very
harmonious. The ticket is thought to
be the strongest in the field and its chances
for election were never better.
