aggregate. There has been much talk
about weak majority for Clifford out
of the election Just closed, and the st.
Paul Globe goes so far as to announce
his defeat in republican Dakota on the
basis of the returns. This is worse than
childlike twad6le. 1t shows the politi-
cal inoompetenGy of the Globe, which
is endeavoring to install itself as the
organ of Dakota democracy. We have
been compiling Dakota election figures
for dozen years and in the present in
stance can see no reason TO anticipate
anything less than $4,000 majority for
Judge Clifford. This reduction in the
majority from two years ego. will not
indicate republican losses. 1t will in
dicate that the stalwart democrats are
all voting this year, from the inspiration
of national success, while republicans,
secure III their success, have not been
drawn enthusiastically into the contest.
Theirs has been no active canvass on the
republican side, while the democracy
has Iabored unceasipgly. Judge Clifford
will come out of the election with a
good enough majority to settle forever
all democratic aspirations in Dakota
territory,

Critic E..ts!ee.ra orr

Chicago, Nov. l The strike of 5000
men at the stock yards this morning was
not much of.a surprise either to the
packers or the public, as it has been
expected and predicted. At present the
trouble only concerns two houses, those
OF G. E Swift u Co., and Nelson Morris.
They Kill no hogs and the men who are
out to- day are beef butchers and lugRers.
Swift & %. and Morris each employ
about 5000 men who are united against
the return to ten hours day. They
claim that II the packers had shown
any inclination TO increase their pay the
matter could have been passed over.
| Not word has been SAID about pay for
| the extra two hours and the men ere
out for the purpose OF bringing the house
to an understanding. The strikers are
under excellent discipline and peace
prevailed at the yards all morning
though idle men we're gathered in large
crowds in alleys and about the packing
houses. None of the other pack,
ing houses are affected and it is thonght
that trouble will not spread, When the
/ butchers struck this morning they
rushed over TO Armour's and tried TO gel
the men there to go out The crowd
broke through the watohmen but
Armour's men "stuok." They wanted
no more "strike in theirs,, When i
was clear that they would not get the
Armour men out the crowd left in al
orderly way. There is feeling of quie
satisfaction, not word of which is ex
pressed, but which IS no less apparen
among the packers who had to max
the ten hours fight last rnontl
that Swift and Nelson Morris are gettinl
sort of reward for playing doubl
then. 1t was not until Delegates Butle
and Barry found this out that il va

much pleased when the men walked on

over now and he can watch wit
