POLITICS In THE NEW STATES.
The Campaign Unusually Warm---Yigorous
Contest Over the Location of State Capital.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 23.-But one week more
remains of the first campaign in the four
States of North and South Dakota. Mon
tana and Washington, and their first expert
ence in politics has not been by any means
of the quiet order, especially throughout
South Dakota. In North Dakota it has
been strictly fight for party and party
candidates, with the usual proportion of
boilers, and the same IS true to a large ex-
tent of Montana and Washington; but in
South Dakota the candidates for State Of
fees have been lost sight of almost
in the hot and at times bitter
contest for the location of the capital. At
this election the voters will only decide on
the temporary location of the seat of gov
ernment, but the fight has been none the
less energetic on eha. account. Something

Good Msjority-BouIanger'sv Vote.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The general belief in
Paris is that General Boulanger was elect
ed in the Montmartre district yesterday
and counted out. The fact that his elec-
tion by a good majority was at
first conceded by the government
representatives, and that there was consid-
erable delay in changing the announcement
to one of defeat gives color to the charges
that are being freely made to the effect that
the ballots were manipulated by the gov
ernment agents. The general result of the
elections shows that there was no need for
the government to resort to such desperate
measures as are alleged. for Boulanger did
not develop enough strength throughout
the country to seriously endanger
the continued existence of the
present government. Those who believe
fraud was committed, however. point out
that at the timethe votes for Montmartre
wrer counted, the returns had not been re-
ceived from the provinces in sufficient
number. to-, show how matters
at the strength shown by Boulanger in this
particular 0i6trlcb ana tearing that IL lnd1-
Gated the general feeling of the country,
they determined to at least deprive the
Boulangists of the personal leadership of
their idol. 1t is worth noting that those
who make this serious charge include not
only Boulangists but men of all shades of
political opinion.
The result OF the election is considered as
satisfactory for the government as there
was any reason to hope for New ballots
are required in more than one-t third of the
districts and the Republicans expect to
win majority of these. From pre- sont in
dications. the government will come out
finally with small. but safe, majority.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says the elections in France yesterday re-
suited in crushing defeat to the Bou-
langists, who returned only twenty
one members, and whose entire rep
resentation in the new Chamber
after the re-balloting will not exceed
thirty-six members. The Conservatives
elected Isl members. and will get thirty
more. The Republicans returned 2lS, and
will secure over one hundred more. making
their total strength in the Chamber between
S2o and $50. against go or 222S
representing the whole reactionary Bou-
langist coalition.
