Special to the Globe
PIERRE, S. d., Feb. 5.-To. days bal
lot gave indication that a crisis is near
and tonight there is deep political fig
uring going on in all quarters. Two
ballots were taken, the last one stand
ing Moody 10, Trip 26, Melville SIS,
Campbell 81, Melette 8, Fowler 4, Mat
thews and Martin 1 each. The indie
pendent vote stayed by Campbell, but
tomorrow, the talk is. that Crosse will
try in his place, and follow in the foot
steps of Wardall, Harden and Campbell
who have each tried and failed. Melville
received six independent votes which
II he had received The full Republican
strength. would have elected him, but
it is demonstrated that neither Moody
or Melville can command the full party
strength. and tonight they are caucus
ing to unite on c. II. Dillon, of Mitchell,
son-in-law of Judge Tripp, whom they
hope will capture enough Independents
TO elect. The Democrats and indepen-
dents also are together tonight to come
to terms if possible. If this is accom-
plished the probability is Crosse will be
retired and enough Independents will
join Trips standard to succeed. If
this cannot be the Democrats may unite
to elect an Independent of Loucks
pattern though the chances favor
Trip in the deal. They are resolved
at all hazards to defeat any man whom
the Republicans may name with the
purpose of catching few Weakened
Independents who to-day went for Mel
vile. All signs indicate that the fight
is drawing to close and the next day
or two may decide it. Republicans are
making last effort to stand, Independ-
ents are beginning to see that their only
hope lies with one of the two parties.
while the Democrats remain firm and
are Offering the best terms of peace to
the latters. with prospect that Trips
magnet may draw them to party
standard that comes nearest to meeting
their own. Congressman Picker saw
his candidacy was useless and to-day
started for Washington.
