This OF course is intended to con-
vey the impression that Republican
Governor will then hold the chair
occupied by the veto Governor, and
give the legislators a scalp dance over
the dead corpse Of Church. It is
hard to predict, however, whether
thus resolution will prevail, as it
was, nnder the rule, LAID over until
printed. 1t is to be hoped, however,

The Soldiers Home bill for Hot
Springs passed the House Monday
by Il vote Of 35 to 8, and it is ex-

Commander Hammond, and Col.
James, of Oakes, has been the prime
cause Of this victory.
Senator Miller has introduced two
important bills-one providing for
the foreclosure Of chattel mortgages
by advertisement, and the other pro
viding for the payment of taxes.
Mr.. Miller lacks nothing to make
himself a very popular man, aud

sible for his being here.
Senator Lowry, the grand old
representative Of the 18th century
of Huron, is the most respected of
any member in the Council.
Representative Hunter is the
youngest man in this present legisla-
ture. Mr.. Hunter lives at Mellette
and is a longtime triend OF the
writer-comiug to Dakota about
years since, and by dint of hare
work and self denial has amassed {
snug fortune in business, as we'll as

men i'll the Territory. Mr.. Hunter
is chairman of the committee OF
railroads, and is very popular.
