Sioux FALLS, March 29.-City politics
just now take up the full attention of
the, Sioux Falls voter. Reincorporation
necessitates the reelection of the whole
body of city officers, and the cry ofl"Turn
the rascals out'' and Put the rascals
in'' is heard in the land. All is now
confusion thrice cOnfounded, and can
didates for appointive positions are at
sea- having no idea as to which way the
cat is going to jump.
There are three candidates for the
mayOralty. One of these is John F..
Norton, who has held the Office for the
past two terms. He is afraid of Petit
grew and GrigSby, and much hard
work is being done iii his behalf. His
administration, however, has, Of course,
made many enemies, who are moving
the heavens to accomplish his defeat.
Candidate number two is Porter P.
Peck. who represents the anti-Norton
faction. Mr.. Peck is an old soldier,
heavy taxpayer, and a hard rustler.
His especial strength is in the strong
opposition which has grown up against
MIR. Norton. Mr.. Peck has no sympathy
with the saloon element, being an out
spoken and courageous prohibitlonist.
1t elected he would have the appoint
ing OF the policemen, and his men would
be selected with
VIEW TO CRUSHING,
as far as possible, the saloon strength.
The third candidate, Capt. w. E. Will
ey, proprietor of the Merchants hotel,
and at presant alderman from the Sec
ond ward, is the strongest of the three.
He has made his peace with the Knights
OF Labor. is one of the boys, is not hos
tile to the sporting element, and would
see to it that the saloons are fairly dealt
with. Politically he is to Sioux Falls
what Ames was to Minneapolis. He has
strong. personal following. which has
worked 10 his interest for the last six
weeks. and his election is insured, pro-
vlded the other candidates remain in
the field. MessrS. Peck and Norton are
both very anxious for Willey's defeat,
but neither OF them will retire in favor
OF the other. The only way to defeat
the lucky captain Is by a combination,
and this it now seems cannot be formed.
The Democrats held caucus Wednes-
day evening to nominate a candidate
for mayor and to run the campaign OH
party lines; but it was decided that this
would only confuse the present con-
fusion, and the caucus adjourned with
out making nomination. The Repub-
licans have called caucus for Satur-
day night. 1t is supposed that at that
time an effort will be made to sidetrack
Mr.. Peck in the interests of Mr.. Norton,
but this will surely not succeed, for Mr..
Peck is not the kind of a man to stand
Sidetracking.
For the eight places in the city coun-
Gil there are some twenty announced
candidates. and score more who are
patiently waiting for friends" to urge
them to enter the race. G. M. D,

YANKToN, S. OAK, March 29.-Nu-
merous inquiries are daily received in
Yankton for copies of the official can
vass OF the vote of 1885 upon the tenn
porary location of the seat of govern
ment. Gen. Hugh j. Campbell, of this
city, has in his possession an official tally
sheet from which the following table is
compiled. 1t will be valuable as a
guide to capital boom managers and the
public in general. The total vote cast
for the temporary capital was 31,S26.
Huron received the largest vote and
was declared the winner in the race. al
though Pierre was close second. There
were in 1885 five active candidates
against dozen in the pending contest.
There were in South Dakota at that
time about 10000 votes, and the canvass
shows that only little over one-half
the vote was cast upon the
capital location question at that
time. Since 1855 it is estimated that
10000 voters have been added. the
official returns of the congressional
vote in 1888 showing an aggregate of
70,S75 votes cast upon that occasion.
AS this question will bring out a full
vote in October, it is apparent that
10000 people will express preference
at the pending election who did not
vote upon the capital location in 1885.
