HAND couNTY's POPULATION.

The red.hot county-seat war brought
out over 200 more voters than ever before
recorded in Hand county. The canvass
made by both Miller and st. Lawrence
was thorough, and probably less than 100
voters failed to east their ballots. This is
gratifying news, because the departure of
some few people during the California and
Washington exeitements led great many
to believe we had less population than
two years ago,
The vote on county seat was |, 1887, with
a few votes cast blank. Judging from
this there must be close to 2, 100 voters ia
the county, and upon an estimate of !
20 the voter we have 1850 people in Hand
county
Hand County press. (Miller, Dakota [S.D.]) 1882-1893, 1888-11-15

Some very shrewd observers from dif-
ferent parts of the county have assured
us that one more week Of discussion upon
the county seat question would have given
,iilIer majority--regardless of overcoats
and cash. We are inclined to believe it.
when we consider that IS votes turned
would have given us a majority, More
than that many votes were secured Tor ST.
Lawrence ON THE DAY OF ELECTION.

Heretofore it has been generally sup
posed the two east ranges OF the county
were by far better settled than the three
vest ranges. But the vote does not cor
roborate such an opinion. There were
only 81 more votes cast In GO AMI 6I than
IN 6s and go, while 20 gives the three west
ranges majority of al9. There were ten
voters OF Miller township who fsiled to

impossible to refuse to place tray of

upon the following scheme: Through each

Judging I ON the comments from all
parts of the country before and since the
election Dakota" must certainly have
been one of the prominent issues Of the

was protection. but never before has Da-

speakers or press, and the belief ID so gen.
orally expressed now that the territory
will be divided and admitted, that II looks
like a sure thing. The admission OF the

Now that the citizens, or about 100 of

the average citizen is rubbing his eyes and

will it lead?

faith on the side OF the committee, should
1t go to Nashville to get that legislation.
One thing noticeable in the meeting

meetings and the general discussion, is,
that no one has attacked the budget made
up by the Fire and Police Commissioners
and published. In numbers of instances
those who were opposed to anything
higher than S2.35 rate of taxation have
been asked to point out the department in
the budget on which a reduction could be

bigger Man Than OLD Grant

Washington Cor. PHILADELPHIA Press.
One day this week the veteran Washington
newspaper correspondent Mr.. U. II. Painter,
related TO me the circumstances which led TO
the publication of the bigger Than Old Grant"
letter, written by Mr.. Fitzhugh, of Texas, whom
the Democrats of the House of Representatives
elected Sergeant alarms of that body when
they first gained control of it after the close of
the war. Mr.. Painter sat in one of the seats of
the House half an hour before Congress met
one morning, talking with DR.. Van Aernam, a
Republican eX-menlber of Congress who was
making visit to Washington. and pointing out
to him some OF the Confederate Brigadiers who
had lately come into prominence about
the Capital. Ftzhush noticing them, ard
suppoSing them to be talking about him,
sent one of his bury Indiana assistants
to order them to leave the House Mr. Painter
resented this and the brutal manner in which
the order was given but the two gentlemen
rose from their seats and remaining standing
continued their conversation in the vacant space
behind the benches. Then Fitzhugh's assistant
returned, and in a very offensive manner in
formed tlem that if they did not leave the
House Immediately he had orders to put them
out. Mr.. Painter refused to go and defed the
mar to lay hands upon him. The fellow,
hardly caring to use force, went to report to
his master. while Mr.. Painter took a seat by the
side Of Representative Stone, of Missouri and
entered into conversation with hIr. Then
Fitzhugh himself appeared, and in angry
brutal tones ordered the newspaper cores
pondent out of the House. Mr.. Stone resented
such treatment of gentleman with whom ne
was in conversation and peremptoriy ordered
Fithugh to attend to his own business.
