Senator Pettigrew, (Rep. of South
Dakota, takes gloomy view of the
political situation. He says:
"The strong party in South
Dakota is the farmers alliance. On
account OF Cleveland's position on
silver, think the same of his nomin-
alton that L do of Harrison's and
that is, that any other democrat, no
matter how little known, would have
been stronger, just as any other re-
publican, no matter how little
known, would have been stronger
than Harrison. With both OF them
in the field, l am Of the opinion that
the third party will carry several
states. If it does not carry the state
OF South Dakota, the vote will be a
close one. In the last general cleo
ton in Kansas the republicans had
fewer votes than either the demo-
Gratis or the Independents; and I
think that the third party is likely
to carry two or three of the Southern
states. Look for very serious sur
prlses when the votes are counted in
November"
