Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-09-25

Political interest centers at Yankton
to-day. The reoults of the convention
are eagerly looked for. If the present
delegate has three hundred del gates
pledged to his denomination; tEo fight
would aeem 60 be short and decisive
one. IL is generally doubted that Judge
Clifford has any such walk away.-Farg0
dr. as.
Like the mists of the morn which
yield to the genial influence of the rising
sup, all doubts we're speedily dissipated.
1t was more than walk away. 1t was
run away Ppecial train-from
the scene Of SO much southern sunshine,
into the gloom of the north home, where
the shadows fall and darkness comes,
and the earth freezes and man is com.
forted not. Let rs shake over the cheer
less chesm, major, and cast into its
depths the reviyiIying light of better
cheer. Let us be one for two states and
unite for separation in accordance

will of his creatures here below

and Yankton will soon shine with The
glow of the best electrical appliances tc
be obtained.
| 1t is fortunate that differences have
been reconciled which promised 10 stano
in the way of communication of the
wishes of the community. These differ
euces, calmly viewed, we believe to have
been honest ones. The final not of the
council demonstrates that it was not in
terposing it's official authority with de.
termination to defeat the enterprise. In
the heat of conflict opposing forces
are liable to charge ulterior motives
upon each other and the electric light
affair has furnished no exception to the
rule. Rnman nature crops out on all
occasion and little friction produces
heat. But ali is well that ends well and
ont of this controversy is to come the
electric light. 1t will furnish one OF
the important items upon tho record of
Yankton's advancement during the year
1856.

In bis sweeping removals of repubh-
can clerks of the court throughout his
dl6tiict,flling their places with imported
material, Judge Church did not neglect
to 'send man" up INTO Sully county
to step into the shoes of Henry Edger-
ton. 1t would seem that even intense
pertisaship might have 'yielded TO
judicial courtesy in this instance-tne
case Of o son of former chief justice OF

ty. Judge pripp set an example which
Judge Church might have followed

Dispatches are to hand this morning
from Yankton and other points regard
Ing the outlook for the republican con
ton. One dispatch Gays that north
Dakota viii support Allen and after
him anybody to beat Clifford" This
dispatch is, undoubtedly, untrue. AS
far as we have been able to see there is
every indication that a majority of the
north Dakota delegates are for Clifford
ManoaB Pioneer.
Since the convention it has been de.
veioped that the Pioneer correctly out
lined the situation. a majority oil
northern delegates were for Clifford and
division and the anti movement was a
hollow sham.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-09-25

The Deadwood Pioneer pertinently
asks the anti-divisionists OF the Black
Hills if they could expect any better
treatment from Dakota as whole than
was accorded by Dakota as half. The
Huron state convention gave to the
Hills region in making up its ticket an
associate justice and the lieutenant
Rovernorehip and the state legislature
elected one of its citizens to the United
States senate. The Pioneer makes use
of these facts in refutation of the allega-
tion that the Hills might expect better
treatment from the north than from
the south.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-09-25

Speaking of the outcome of the
Yankton convention the Sioux Falls
Leader says:
The result is what might have been
expected from territory IN which the
republicans and not the people rule.
1t is generally supposed that the
Yankton convention was o republican
convention. Dakota is also very largely
republican. The republicans OF Dakota
are considerable majority of the peo.
pie of Dakota. Into whom is the Leader
endeavoring to insert its sting?
