olutions: II endorses the platform ot the
last Democratic national convention; de.
clares continued and hearty support Of the
cause OF tariff reform; reaffirms the do.
mands for free raw materials aud lower
duties upon the necessities of life;
gives hearty support to the petit
ton OF the present Republican gov
ernor OF this state and other leading
Iron and steel manufacturers OF both politi-
cal parties, addressed to the New England
members Of Congress, asking for free coal
and iron ore and for lower duties upon pig
iron, and recommend their efforts to
all materials for ship building,
whether Of metal or wood, be
relieved from the heavy taxation now i'm
posed upon most of them and made free Of
duty, to the end that American ship
builders may be placed In better position
to construct ships capable OF competing on

OF naval affairs established by secre-
tary Whitney; gives earnest support

administration for its narrow craftsmanship
and low standard of public duty, and for
| It's surrender to the dietation OF I'M
setupulous political bosses such us Malone
/ Quay and Platt representing the worst ale
ments Of the Republican party and for its

FARGO, N. OAK, Oct. Alt was l @. m.
before the votes Ia the various wards In
Fargo We're counted. Miller, Rep, received
iii for governor to 6S5 cast for Roach Dem.
The wore on congressman was about the
same. Mcconnell, D., Is apparently
elected district judge. The Republicans
have no doubt elected their entire legisla-
tive tickets in various Legislative districts
OF this county with the possible exception
of Brandenburg candidate for the senate
from 10th district.
Twenty eight precincts including three
wards in Fargo cast 9s8 votes against and
1888 for the prohibition article. The other
three wards are strongly opposed to Prohi-
bition and added perhaps 800 votes against
1t.
The vote for the constitution Is almost
unanimous. Throughout the state the total
vote is not SO heavy as was expected, prob
ably about $1,000. Many people have
moved away from Ramsey, Eddy's and Nell
son counties, owing to the failure OF the
crops.
The legislature is strongly Republican.
The Democrats elect senators In the lst I'd,
Sd, 18th, 18th, 18th, 10Th, Goth. 25th, 9th
with the 23d district In doubt. Repub-
lieans also get So members OF the assembly.
The Democrats get IS and there are five
districts In doubt. Hansbrough, Rep, ia
elected to Congress by about $4,000 ma
jority.
The contest over the judgeship ia ex-
tremely close, Reports from Grand Forks
say that Thomas, Pembina and other north
ern points indicate that Templeton, Dem +,
has beaten O'Keefe, Rep, In the First dis.
trict. d. Morgan, Rep, Is elected In IL G
Second. In the Third Mcconnell, Dem,
seems to have defeated Newman, Rsp.
Lander, Rep, is elected in the Fourth and
Winchester, Rep, In the Fifth. The Sixth
(the Johnstown district probably elects
Rose, DEM, though'his majority may not
be 100.
The Prohibitionists claim to have carried
the territory. Fargo, Bismarck and Grand
Forks vote strongly pro-liquor, and IN
preiudiced calculators believe prohibition
Is beaten by at least 5000.
The constitution ia being endorsed with @
rousing majority.
At Republican headquarters tho entire
state ticket is claimed by from 10000 Il
$4,000 while at Democratic headquarters
Chairman Ryan asserts thar from reporti
now at hand, official and otherwise, tht
Republicans will carry the state by q ma
jorlty not exceeding 5000.
Maratta, DEM, for Congress, is claimed
by the Democrats to have been elected, bu'
definite figures have not yet been received
The Republicans claim the election o.
Hansbrough to Congress.

a bOld Attack ana "a Gallant Rescue
Hy Peter A. Pagan.

hy Peter A. FaRuns
A bold but unsuccessful attempt at high
way robbery was made at Fourth and JEFF
ferson streets about Ills Tuesday even
ing. A lady whose name could not be
aHcertRined, although shs said she lived on
little boy from visit to friends In the
western part of the city. She carried a
lady's caba n her hand when Just Rs she
WAS three or four doors from Jefferson
street on the south side of Fourth street she
was stopped by two foot-pads. One Of
them made q dash at her caba and
grabbed 1t.
Peter a. Pagan, who had been on the
coroner's Jury investigating the b. 4 o..
collision, was returning home at the time
and he heard the lady scream when the
highwayman grabbed her aud he ran to
the rescue. He caught the thief and while
the two were engaged in wrestling for the
supremacy the other thief delivered q
singing blow on Fagan's right Jaw. Pagan
was staggered for moment. but never let
go OF his mai. In the ecuflle he wrested
the caba from the fellows hands and
tripped him, falling on top OF the man just
as iootpad No. made bis second charge
and kicked Pagan on the right elbow and
In the ribs. The two sooundrels thon es-
capped, running through Montgomery
street, little thoroughfare between Jeffer-
son and Madison streets.
Pagan returned the caba to the lady who
was uniniured and she left without giving
her name or address. Pagan says that he
would be able to RECOGNIZES the man With
whom he scuff1ed. He was OF medium
height and OF very dark complexion. His
| face was smooth. The other fellow wore d
sandy moustache. He Is very gore to-day
| from his rough treatment.

were discharged from further attendance

were discharged from further attendance
upon the court.
According to reliable information the
jurymen from the first were evenly divided,
ak being In favor OF a verdict for the plain
TIN and six In favor OF a verdict for the
defendant. OF the six who favored YER
dict for the plaintiff some were In favor OF
awarding as high as 425 900 damages.
while none placed their figures below
$4,000.
During all the long siege the lines never
wavered but remained six to six. This
morning Juryman John Pugh, who favored
verdict for the defendant suggested an
agreement upon verdict for the plaintiff
with nominal damages OF six cents. This
was rejected. Sometime afterwards Samuel
Silver, another OF the six for the defendant
suggested to Mr.. Pugh an agreement upon
a verdict liking damages at 81, 1000. Mr.
Pugh said he would agree II 1t was made
unanimous, Some OF the other side tried
hard TO induce him to agree TO 81 ESQ but
he would not bulge above 81 LOCO. Then
the Jury agreed to this amount and 30 re-
ported to the court.
This ends one OF the most famous and
protracted cases tried in the courts Of Del
aware. The small size OF the verdict makes
the result virtually victory for tho rail-
\ road company.

A Degrading Scramble for Capitai
SiIe-CIained by fsepublicuus,


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
PIERRE, \. D., Oct. 2.-South Dakota's
first state election descended to q degrad-
ing scramble for capital location.
There has been no fight on anything
else. Mellette is elected governor ~ over
10000 msiority. Pickler and Clifford go to
Congress.
The Republican majority in the legIsia-
ture will DO at least 80, insuring the cleo
tion OF two Republican United States sena-
tors. The vote was enormous, probably
10000, and the trade and eale OF ballots
was based on the capital fight.
For the capital Pierre, Huron, Water
town, Chamberlain, Sioux Falls and
Mitchell were entered. The reports re-
ceived up to this morning indicated q vote
for Pierre of $4,000: Huron, 81 900; Sioux
Falls, 11,000; Watertown, 10000; Mitchell,
1000, and Chamberlain, 5000.
All the ante-election talk OF fraud proved
but wind. The election was very quiet and
so far as reported no frauds were at
tempted and no fights were permitted.
Huron has not yet given up the hght, but
this morning still claims to have secured
the capital, as also does Sioux Falls.
Owing to the great interest In the capital
| contest but little attention was given to the
minority representation, and 1t was doubt
