The representative-elect in brief speech
thanked the voters for the honor conferred
upon him. He might not, he said, be able
to participate in debates, but he would seek
to do his whole duty as working member.
Though elected by republican votes, he was
the representative of the whole town and
would labor for the interest of all.
For comparison, the vote in the last off
year "-1SS6- and in the last presidential
year "-1SSS-are appended. In 1886 j. c..
Houghton was chosen on the second bal
lot The ballots were as follows:

was cast for other county officers. Follow

be empty. The police have several clues.

individuals interested in comparative gains
or losses have here the figures for speculation
or prognostication, for personal or party
felicitation or editication Mr.. Cross has
handsomely beaten the record of party ma
jorities in off years, his majority being larger
than in any off year since 1870 In off years
party lines are always more or less broken,
so the vote of yesterday is no more conclu-
sive evidence now than it has ever been of
relative party strength, gain or loss. There
is certainly in it no real ground for demo-
cratic feicitation, as comparisons and con-
sideration of all the circumstances will
show-and republicans may safely abide in
the hope of the customary majority when
the national fight Is on again.
The curious may be interested to know
that the scattering vote in yesterdays
election was divided as follows: S. c..
Shurtleff, g. L. j. Deavitt, 3; E. A. Bishop,
4 George e. Holden, 2; II. n. Taplin, l.;
Albert Johonnott, / Henry w. Drew,1 j..
II. Lucia, /; Joseph Poland, l; g. Def.
Bancroft, /. An unusually large number
seem to have earned distinction by voting
for themselves.

THE DOMICILIARY CLAUSE,

The force bill bobs up in the senate
with touch OF old fashioned Repub-
lican trickery. The bill as reported in
the senate contained the infamous
domiciliary clause, fact to which the
Republican senators pretended to be
oblivious, including Senator Spooner a
member of the election committee
Senator Gray, however, exposed the
deception, Spooner alleging the clause
had been expunged by the committee.
1t looks like trick to run in one of
the worst, most dangerous, vile and
odious features of the bill without the
knowledge of such few Republican
senators as might possibly be opposed
to it.
If the Republicans should in.
sist on adopting this clause
along with the rest of the bill
it will do more than any other section
OF the measure to arouse the indigna
ton of the people of the southern
states and lead to trouble.
As Senator Gray said in his speech
Friday there was none of the measures
that goaded our ancestors to revol
against the British king that APP
preached the infamy of this same
domiciliary clause. Under it a man
likely to be some worthless negro
appointed by the election supervise
of the district, would have author
ity to visit the house of every either
and demand information as to TIN
name, politics and nationality of ever,
male inmate.
In other words it would be system
of espionage of the household an,
family circle, more infamous and in
sulting than the secret detective ser
viceIo Russia. And yet the Repub
lican senators coolly propose to fore
the proud Anglo-Saxon race OF tn
south to submit to system so utterl
degrading, humiliating and detestable

there is one redeeming feature about
it, it is the prohlbitive duty on Next
can plug ponies.
We have had too much of the Mexi
can mare for breeding purposes and it
works no hardships on the farmer, to
cut off the supply.
A rich man might be able to Dfford
the luxury of breeding from pure Mex
lean stock, but not the average far
mer.
If the Mexican mare is really so in
valuable for raising "hardy mules and
farm animals" she can still be brought
into Texas free OF duty, by having
her entered in the Mexican plug stud
Book, as there can be no difficulty
about her eligibility on the score OF
purity of breeding. Her pedigree can,
in every Instance, be traced right back
to the time Cortez began to interfere
in the affairs of Central Amer lea.
Purity of blood isn't everything.
Jerry Rusk and fis coadjutors have
much to answer for, but they deserve
the thanks of their countrymen for
shutting out the Mexican plug.

PENSION LEGISLATION.

The avalanche on the 4th OF last
month, one OF the causes OF
which was exorbitant pension
has called the Republican
congressman to their senses. The
change in their views may be guessed
from the fact that 80 strenuous an adj
vocate OF pension grabbing as Clutch
con of Michigan now acknow lodges
that the tax payers of his district con
demued his course and fully expressed
themselves in the late election. Allen
and O'Donnell, of Michigan, both
strong pension Republicans and
soldiers in the late war, the other day
said pension legislation had now come
up to the danger line and it was time
to call halt. These men have adj
mitted that the old soldiers them
selves have become Disguised
and large numbers of them voted the
Democratic ticket solely on pension
grounds. The taxpayers OF the coun-
try are tired of the pension business,
While it was confined to aiding SOL
diers manned or incapacitated by the
war to make a living, which was Cen
eral Grants idea, it was very well.
But furnishing monthly salary to
the uncles, aunts and second cousins
of men who never saw a battlefield is
more than they can stand. Since the
Republicans returned to power the
country has been paying over SlOO,-
100000 for pensions, more than the
entire cost of the standing army OF
the empire of Germany. No wonder
the people are kicking.
Notwithstanding these facts, on the
first day of the present session pension
bills were introduced aggregating $Io,-
100000, and which if passed, which
they will not be, would swell the pen
sion appropriation to the enormous
sum of $500, 100000. This includes
the service bill introduced by Picker
of South Dakota, which would give
pension to every man who die any
kind of service in the army during the
war.
AS the pension business is now con-
Quoted it is simply machine to buy
the vote of the veterans and their
kindred and friends, and an engine to
loot the treasury. 1t is time for it to
stop, and the people of the Northern
states have said at the late elections
that it must stop.

The John B. Hood Camp OF Confed-

meeting yesterday to consider the fu-

1t was intimated that Governor elect
Hogg had let it be known that he was
willing to recommend the legislature
to establish q home for Confederate
veterans the same to be under State
control.
The question was pretty we'll dis
cussed and a resolution was adopted
in which the camp signified it would
turn over to the State the present
home and all money now in hand.
A committee was also appointed to
confer with Mr.. Hogg relative to the

CLEvELAND's CANDIDACY.

It is mentioned in this mornings
dispatches that J. Leslie Thompson, "a
leading and thoroughly representa-
tive Democrat of South Dakota, has
had an interview with Ex-President
Cleveland in New York. During the
conversation Mr.. Cleveland assured
Thompson he would surely be a can
didate for the presidency in 1892, and
that he wanted his South Dakota
friends to stick to him, or words to
that effect. This, if true, settles the
question. And if Mr.. Cleveland wants
the nomination he will doubtless get
it if there is no change in Democratic
sentiment between now and the sum-
mer of 1892. He has a stronger hold
upon the affection, confidence and
admiration OF the country,
and especially the Democratic
party, than he had the day he
stepped down and out from his posi-
ton of power and surrendered the
executive chair to the present in
cumbent.
The real greatness and brilliant
craftsmanship OF the man are now
more than ever acknowledged by his
enemies. He is the most popular
leader in the Democratic party today,
and there is little doubt that in the
next national convent ton he will be
supported by the South.
But there are some objections that
will be urged against Cleveland. No
candidate can be free from them. His
anti-silver record may detract from
him in the West, where there is a ten
dency in the party, led by the St,
Louis Republic, to select Western
man. His pronounced civil service
views don't suit many Democrats,
and during his administration he
made not few powerful enemies in
his own party who couldn't control
patronage as they wished, and who
will work against him.
Then, again, the state of New York
is divided between Cleveland and Hill,
and it is urged the nomination OF
either endangers the unity OF the
party in that state and the loss of its
solid support and immense electoral
vote.
But Notwithstanding these defects
n his title Mr. Cleveland is naturally
the choice of the vast body of the
Democracy as the great leader OF tar
if reform and tax reduction which will
be the issue in 1892, and of which Mr.
Cleveland is the recognized exponent.
