The conditions are complicated. to say
the least, owing to the fact that the

very much. Hon. Francis II. Clarke, of
Rapid City, is the man who is being

Judge Thomas, of Deadwood, declined
to make the run for congress on the
Democratic state ticket last summer.
Mr.. Clarke took his place, and at the
late election ran far ahead of mis- ticket

President r. J. Hall, of the farmers
Alliance, came down from Morris yes
terday, and is now at the Clarendon,
where he and Secretary A. l.. Strom-

This is Mr.. Halls first visit to the cities
since the election, and, of course, he
felt like Boosting a little over the
splendid vote polled by the Alliance

Republican congressman are very
scarce at the present time, on account
of the fact that they are but about
ninety in number, and this ninety is
