Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1888-09-12


The Maine election was held Monday.
The democrats know ii without doubt
They heard several things drop on that
day. The republicans expected 10 win
By about Il. 600 Of 5000 majority, but
when the votes we're counted they found
themselves winner BY over 10000 The
entire state senate, four-ffths Of the low
Ter house and every congressman are re-
pubicans A most superb victory.
The prohibition vote fell over one-third.
The republican majority is the largest
since 1866. Tom Reed, to defeat whom
Grover brought into action the immense
machinery Of bis Office, was reelected by
an increased majority. This is only d
sample of what the whole country will
do next November. Hnrrah for Harri-
son and Morton.
The New York correspondent Of the
Boston Herald, Cleveland mugwump
sheet), says: Senator Platt confidently
expects that Cleveland will get 10000
less majority in New York city and
Brooklyn than in 1884. The frieuds Of
Arthur in these cities who would not
work for Blaine with any heart are all in
line for Harrison. The Butler vote,
which would have gone to Blaine and
elected him four years ago, had Butler
withdrawn, is certain to so to Harrison.
Buffers followers were all protectionists,
and this year there is every evidence that
they are more firmly set against Cieve-
land than ever. With conceded ma
jority for Harrison in the state outside
Of the two big cities larger by 10000 to
1900 than. that received by Blaine, and
a reduction in Claveland's majority in
New York and Brooklyn, of which there
is every probability, to the extent of at
least $4,000, a republican majority in the
state of $4,000 to 10000 in clnim for
which there is solid foundatioy."
The Irish World, edited by that stall
wart crusader, Patrick Ford, is doing
vast amount Of good in this campaign by
its red-hot tariff articles. They are
forcible, right to the point, and SO logical
as to knock the chip off the democratic
shoulder SO hard that it jars democracy
clear down to its toes When the demo-
Gratis or free traders-wa up Pat
Ford they find out that they have
aroused the wrong passenger, and when
he gets through with them they natur-
ally conclude that they have made
mistake and have been monkeying with
buzz saw or the business end of a
mule. The republicans are to be con
graduated upon having such a trench
ant pen as Patrick Ford's enlisted in
their service. May success crown the
efforts of the World in its heroic service
for the betterment of our country and
the Emerald Isle.
The Pioneer Press is succeeding very
rapidly in losing it's friends throughout
South Dakota. That sheet seems to
think there is nothing in the territory of
Dakota south of the seventh standard
parallel, and that the section known as
North Dakota is the only portion emit
tied to recognition or assistance. The
Pioneer Press can support North Dako-
ia if it SO DESIRES. but at the same time
it should lido such dirty work against
us as ii. has in the past, and is continu-
ing to do. The people of this section get
a far more favorable deal from the dem
ocratic Globe than from the organ of re-
publicanisln known as the Pioneer Press.
Its treatment is becoming very monoto-
nous.
While the democrats were preparing
to sing 1.-THE letter that never came,"
their calculations were upset by the sud
den appearance Of Growers formal epis-
tie OF acceptance, and as consequence
they changed their tune and are now
whistling 1.-THE bitter came at last"
1t is a very sorry looking letter, and
reads just as bad as it looks AS cam
paign document for the republicans it is
an immense success. Could not Grover
write two or three more?
Commander-i in Chief Fisk of tie third
party went into Maine to conduct the
prohibition fight against the republicans.
Result, decrease of over one-third in
the prohibition vote and an enormous
increase of republican votes. To give
the republicans sure thing, send Fisk
and his rebel partner into New York,
please.
If the political leaders of South Dako-
ia are politically dead, and the spectral
state" of South Dakota is dead, why in
