Washington,

ST. PAUL, Oct. 2. a Pioneer Press
special FROM Seattle, w. T., says that
returns from all over the state indicate
it is surely republican by about 1000
majority. The Legislature is GER
talnly republican by about 90. The
result in King and kitties counties is
still in doubt and If they go republican
the majority for the party in the legis-
lature will be 30. The republicans
have gained in every county except
these two. The democrats are assert
ing they have carried King. having
made heavy gains i'll Seattle
But the republicans are confident that
their ticket will pull through all right.

A Great Act.

When a young lady has safely got t.
dog, carefully incloscl in basket, past
the 'dogs-not-admitted" sign, the ticket
seller, the chopper man and the guard
and is seated at last IN the car, she is the
happiest person in the world-for she has
smuggled, that vice dearest to the fem
inine heart. There is Il look of triumph
on her face, touched with IL shade of fear
lest she may be found out, after all, that
no other situation in the world can bring
1t is seldom that she can resist the temp
tation to open the cover Il little just be-
fore she reaches her destination, and let
the dog insert his nose in the outer world
for a moment that the other passengers
may see that she has triunphed. And
when she walks out of the car it is with
queenly sweep which would make tho
manager Of the road feel very small if he
could see it.-New York Tribune

MITCHELL IN 1890.

Mitchell is in the field for the per-
manent capital in 1890 and will rest
her case with the unpurchasable voters
of the state. The argument which
she has advanced in the campaign just
closed are as strong today as ever.
She has suffered temporary defeat but
1t took the most unblushing use of
money or the promise of money in her
own territory to compass 1t. She
stands today strong in the affection of
the people because of the clean and
honorable fight which she made. She
stands today the only town on the Mil
waukee road which can enter the race
in 1890. The result of this election
has taken Sioux Falls out of the next
contest and by exposing the weakness
of Chamberlain has made her candi-
dacy an imposslbility.
Mitchell will be the permanent cap
ital of South Dakota.

Mitchell has naught but feelings of
sympathy and commlseration for
Chamberlain. We have no desire to
deride or abuse her. Her own reflect
tions as she sees her rival up the

boom, partly through her own folly,
are her bitterest punishment. To add
to it would be the sheerest cruelty,

The CAPIAL has no desire to
exult over the summary fate which
befell Mr.. Pease in his attempt to de-
moralize the republican party because
of personal grievance against some
individual members of. it. 1t does
desire to emphasize the lesson, how
eyer, that this result has taught. Men
who profess to be good republicans,
but who fly the track at the slightest
provccation, must not expect to receive
any more consideration than the ene-
my himself. The time has past when
boiling on purely personal grounds
can win in Dawson county, and from
this on party treason will be punished
as we'll as party loyalty rewarded.
