YANKTON, Oct. 19.-When the Demo-
cratic county convention met two weeks
ago there was some difficulty i'll getting
candidates for ali the offices, and por-
ton of the ticket was left blank, to be
supplied by the central committee. This
committee yesterday supplied these
omissions by placing the following
names upon the ticket: For superin-
tendent of schools. J. c. Dellinger;
for county attorney, W. L. Read;
for constable, Peter Falkenberg:
for commissioner Fourth dis
trict. Thomas Inch. No one was
found who would become a candidate
for the office of county auditor. The
Democracy in Yankton county is in
dem0raliZed condition. This is not
owing to the fact that the county has a
fair Republican majority. but rather be-
cause of the selfish and unprincipled
methods adopted by few of the self
constituted candidates. All of the Re-
publican candidates for the legislature
from the Second legislative district are
farmers, and all but one make

HARDEN IN WELLS.
The Farmers All Like His Talk

SYKEsTON, Oct. 19.-HOn. j. W. Har-

lowed closely through his plain and able
arguments by very intelligent class,
consisting mostly of farmers of both
parties. and from the remarks made by
many OF them present, it shows plainly
how we'll the farmer candidate stands
in the estimation of the people in this
county. 1t is estimated by careful
observers that Harden will gain in this
county 80 per cent over the vote on
delegates in 1856. County politics are
wagging along at a fearful rate. There.

there was issued by Auditor Caldwell
SI4I21.93 for militia encampment held
at Aberdeen. and neither OF these
amounts has ever been legaliZed by an
act OF the legislature, and were paid out
without
Any WARRANT OF LAW.
Mr.. Caldwell claims that he was jUSti-
fed in paying out the moneys for militia

such allowance shall be paid out of
the territorial treasury TO the companies

governor may require on his approval.
The claim is made by Mr.. Caldwell that
the word ''shall' made it mandatory

there was any appropriation or whether
the appropriation made by the legisla-

Special to the Globe.
VERMLIoN, Oct. l9-Political move
ments in this district, and especially
Clay county, have taken rather queer
turn. The Republicans have picked up
a Farmers alliance man as their candi-
date from here over f. n. Burdick. a
straight Republican. Burdick has
announced himself as an Independent
candidate. The Democrats, though
quite strong. will not put ticket in the
teld, but will throw their main strength
with Burdick. The other counties Of
the district show dislike for the Farm
eFs' alliance man. White, which, with
the Democratic help, gives Burdick a
very good prospect. Then again, the
railroad company seems to throw
its influence toward White. which
will draw many farmer votes
from him. On the other hand. White
has lust served term in the legislature.
and in the time the institution upon
which all in this section mnges-the
universIty-has been greatly improved
and competent corps of officers has
been provided for it.
CONSIDERABLE FRAUD
has been reported en- the part
Of Republican leaders. Mem in
public employ are given to under
stand that wrong opinion will cost
them their heads; and not only this, but
a sort of semi-boycOtt is placed upon
institutions whose heads lean the wrong
way.
Considerable excitement is shown
over the nomination of county officers
here next week. The country is full of
candidates and the wires are kept tight.
The nomination will be made by very
close shave, whichever party takes it.
The issue seems to be between people
and personal interests instead of party
democrats, labor men, Republicans,
ProhibitiOnistS, all joining in each side.
Several purchases of men have been
reported, though, of course, they would
be hard TO prove.
The delegate question seems quiet,
probably is put III the shade by buster
matters of more local nature.

Illegal Railroad Tariffs.

Chairman Leeds, of the Transconfinental
association, telegraphed from Washington
to the Northern Pacific at ST. Paul saying
that the tariffs, against which Chicago mer-
chants have made SO much complaint, were
declared illegal by the interstate commerce
commission, because they Disseminated
against individuals and localities Mr.. Leeds
also said hat he had ordered Tariff No. 81
IN force In place of them to apply
to all points az FAR west as the ninety
seventh meridian. which means the
Missouri river. The tariffs declared Illegal
are commodity tariffs, made for the benefit
OF the manufactures ia this way: The trans
continental lines desires to compete with
vessels going from New York to the Pacific
coast, and considered themselves justified in
making rates from New York lower than
from intermediate points in order to
meet the water competition. But they
made a set of commodity tariffs for the ben
eft of manufacturers only. Low rates were
made to apply at points only where the COM
modify was manufactured. so that dealers in
the same goods in other towns did not get
the benefit. For instance, on articles manu-
featured in New York the rates to the Pacific
coast were lower than from Chicago shut
ting out Chicago wholesalers of the same
goods. The rates now ordered into effect by
Chairman Leeds make the same rates on any
one commodity from New York as from all
points as far west as the Missouri river and
q box of soap can be shipped from New York
to San Francisco at the same cost as from
Chicago or ST Paul. The change is an ad-
vantage to wholesalers over the old rates,
but puts merchants in competition with each
other all over the country, the length of
haul cutting no figure in the cost of freight.
