POLITICAL POINTERS.

Excerpts From the Territorial Press
Upon the Congressional Delesate-
ship.
Vermjliion Plain Talk: Tie purpose
of the republicans of this county should
be TO send delegates to the Yankton
convention pledged to Delegate Clifford
right. 1t is only justice. And justice
should be done.
Mandan Times: A large number of
the editors of Dakota sre blaming Hon.
o. s. Clifford because he did moi do this
or that, or did not work hard enough for
such and such a bill while in Washing
ton. We would like to know just how
much those editors know about it, and
how much better they could do them
selves. 1t is very easy to criticise, but
an entirely different thing to do the
work.
Aurora Standard: If the north Da-
kota gang should succeed in capturing
the convention at Yankton, for Edwards
he could not be elected as against any
division democrat. SO far as We are
concerned, We would rather trust an
o~ut-spoken democrat for division, from
south Dakota, like Miller for instance,
than our dear brother of the Argus. The
majors boom will die o bomin', for the
outlook is favorable to Judge Gifford's
reorganization, which is equal to an
election. The major has it bad, but he
will be better or q great deal worse be-
fore south Dakota will permit him to
represent her IN congress.
Plankinton Free Press: Central Da
kota papers are attempting to weaken
the strength of Delegate Clifford by
placing the names of ]. Il. Gamble,
Judge Palmer, j. OBJ. Scoby and others
in the field aa candidates, In the
yain hope of securing the nomina.
ton of an a~nti-division candidate,
South Dakota is i%rrevocably pledged to
division snd can do no better than to
unite on Clifford. 1t will be dang erous
work for the south to go into the Yank-
ton conyen tion divided.
Ollvet Record: Give us Clifford and
we'll get division. Slaughter Clifford
and you kill division, and abet admis-
sion as a whole. 1.-The Record would
like to wager o few subscriptions-two
to one--that Clifford will be renominated
at Yankton. Who wants to go us one,
for lack, you know?.....H Hutchinson
county owes Delegate Clifford the sup.
port of her delegation at Yankton,
September %, and we believe that the
entire ten votes will be cast in his favor
Mr.. Clifford has labored hard for his con.
| s%tituents and he should, by ali means,
be returned. Give the present incnm-
bent q hearty support. 1T will be a
cold day when Hutchinson county goes
over to the north and assists the capital
commission crowd in securing the defeat
of Delegate Clifford. Yankton and
Hutchinson counties stood firmly by
Clifford at Pierre two years ago, and he
carried the day. History will repeat
itself at Ysnkton September %, 1886.
Bismarck Journal: The Bnrleigh
County Farmer proposes Alexander Nc
Kenzie for the republican nomination
for delegate to congress-. 1t wouldn't
be neighborly to suspect Bro. Campbell
of having selfish designs on Mckenzie,
but it 10 proper to remark that his pro-
posal is we'll calculated to create a sensa-
tion in Yapkton.

Trade on a Moderate Scale, Only to Meet

Actual Requirements.
INDIANAPOLIS, March "a.
There was very little change to note to-day in
the condition Of the wholesale markets, trade
in most departments being on a scale of actual
requirements. Unquestionably the alarm over
the labor troubles is spreading, and merchants
are taking in sail The grocer and the dry
goods man well know that the closing down of
a mandatory in the town whore he is To-
Gated means that a portion of his GUS
toners will not be able to pay
their bills, as they will have no
wages to depend upon TO meet them. The New
York Shipping List, In commenting on the bust.
ness situation, says: "As compared with the
corresponding period last year, the volume of
business in progress shows vast Improvement,
and in every respect the existing situation, as
well as the future outlook, is in striking contrast
with what it was a year ago: but since the cur
rent year commenced the progress of events has
been somewhat disappointing, and recent de-
velopments have somewhat neutralized the
hopeful anticipations with which the future has
been viewed. Confidence has not been shaken in
the ultimate results of a promising outlook, but
there is an evident feeling of hesitation in en-
tering upon fresh ventures. and a disposition to
await the more definite solution of existing
problems that seem to threaten and him
der the march OF progressive improve
ment. It is true that general trade has
scarcely as yet had an opportunity to feel the
stimulating influences of the anticipated spring
movement, the real breaking up of the roads in
the country and the actual developments of the
season have not yet occurred, but the continued
absence of any material Improvement in the de-
mand for general merchandise, in connection
with the disquieting influences that prevail with
respect to commercial and industrial affairs, has
a tendency to further restrict the volume of bus
mess and produce an uneasy feeling lest the
forecasts Of the future have been too sanguine.
While, however, the surface currents are for the
moment unfavorable, the undercurrent gives no
evidence of having relaxed It's steady onward
movement; there is no reason to believe that
consumption has fallen off; production is not ac-
cumulating supplies that cannot be marketed,
and, if profits are narrow and fresh business
slow, with but few exceptions supplies are stead
lily held, and there is an absence of pressure to
sell that would indicate a loss of confidence"
Locally, prices ruled steady, there being no fiuc-
~tuations in values calling for special mention.

market closed barely steady at COZ points under last

and there is a great deal of uneasiness here over the

THE TRIBUNE AND TIL
LEAGEr,.

On Saturday night the Executive
Committee of the Anti Chinese
League reported resolution to the
effect that the Tribune had treated
the League unfairly, and that no
member of the League ought to
patronize the paper. The resolu-
ton was adopted by the League.
As the proprietor of the APPEAL
is member of the Executive Com
mittee of the League an explana-
tion is necessary.
Some months ago proposition
was preached in the Committee to
boycott the Tribune. The propri-
etor Of the APPEAL opposed the
idea and stated as his reason for so
doing. that he didn't wish to take
his business into the League, ana
that should he do so it would place
him in the light of one who was
irving to crush out business rival
through the instrumentality OF the
League.
These exceptions were, at the
time, considered well taken and the
matter was dropped
At the last meeting OF the Com
mittee the subject was again
preached and the resolution adopt
ed by the League was formulated.
The proprietor Of the APPEAL
was not present at this meeting
and for the reasons above stated
took no part in the Committee 5
work. 1t is a matter of regret to
us that the relations between the
League and all the papers of the
city could not have been more har-
mopious.
