In Arkausas, Missouri and South
Carolina the majoritles are about the
same a. four years ago.
Nor is this all. The republican ma.
i~orities have been enormously increas-
ed by democratic voters who were
angored and alienated by the pOpulistic
platform and alliance.
Four years ago the democratic plu-
rality for Cleveland In the union was
$50, SIC. This year the plurality for
Mckinley in about 1850, 00O-a loss to
the democrats on the popular vote OF
ovey ! ,43O. COO.
OF the seventeen states carried by
MI. Harrison in 1892, Mr.. Mckinley
carried fourteen and MI. Bryan three.
OF the twenty-three states carried by
Nj. Cleveland in 1892, Mr.. Mckinley
got eleven and Mr.. Bryan twelve. Oi
McKinley's $50 electoral votes, 1873, or
| nearly one half, came from states car.
| ried BY Mr.. Cleveland.
So stands the account. Was there
ever such q losing transaction in poll
tics, on the low, practical grounds OF
votes alone, - this unnatural and un-
holy alliance has heenY L. there the
least glimmer Of encouragement in i,
for the democrats to continue the
| partnership?

foundi Had not the Hills been forced
TO vote Tor Bryan, the result would
nut have been = whit different, than in
former years.
On this side Of the river the republi-
cans had TO contend against the bolt Of
Senator Pettigrew and Judge Palmer,
both OF whom had friends and the in
genous fight Of these two men no doubt
had its effect in reducing the vote Of
the republicans to q slight degree. A
further causo-and more important one
was the apparent colonization. All told
there are fully {. 1000 more votes cast at
the recent election than were eyer cast
before. These voters are the floaters
and the tramps, most of whom did not
have q right to vote in the state. For
instance Lawrence county cast 1,lO(
more votes than she ever did, Union
nearly 500, Moody 400, etc. In the
north part Of the state the vote wal
light owing to the heavy storm, conse'
quently there was no increase.
To tho managers Of the campaign
great deal Of credit is due. The repub
licans throughout the state made {
masterful fight for the right and had i
not been for the misrepresentation and
falsiication Of their opponents the!
would have had 10000 majority insteat
Of . 100 or MORE. The campaign is nov
past history, but 1893 will prove, NOR,
abundantly than words can describe
the truth and honesty Of the republi
can position.

Tns INSULT IN soUTn DAKOTA.

No nj knows just precisely what the
outcome ID In the state, owe the late
election. They are still canvassing the
vote In many Of the counties. McPher-
son, Minnehaha, BrookiDgs, Penning-
ton being among the number. The
vote on the reservation is still M un-
known quantity. There are 16, what
re commonly known . "cow" counties
which for the first time held elections
ii their own baiiiwicks. No n can
tell o. sven surmise what this vote will
10. These counties are Martin, Wag-
ner, ziebach, jackson, Stanley, Lyman,
Gregory, Todd, Choateau, Rinehart,
0cobey, Sterling, Nowlin, Pratt and
Presho. A ssvere snow storm prevailed
ous there while the voting was going on
and necessarily the sum total Of each
vote must b very light. When this
vote comes In It may turn the tide to
either side.
The question naturally comes up
whence comes the change from 5000
majority Of two years ago to q vote less
than ! hundred. The answer IL the
Hills country. East Of the river the
republicans had q majority OF 1900
while the six organized counties across
the river practically wiped this out.
Evcry mining interest, every mining
union, boss o agitator made the '.sil-
~" hobby his especial business
hence the result. The HCmestake q n
trulled by the Hearsts, Days, Sails
burys, gave absolute instructions to
vote their employees for Bryan and the
result e . Of the closest contests ever
witnessed In the state. Talk about CO.

Notes to Election.

The Beresford convention managed
to float in on top.
In the Soldiers Home, at Hot
Springs, there we're 70 votes cast, So
were for Mckinley and 10 for Bryan.
Fitzgerald, Ca, cast 2l4 votes at the
last election. Mckinley received 1872,
and Bryan ~, while lowering secured ).
Secretary of State elect Roddle, re-
publican, carried his own county
Brook ings-by y majority of 1913, while
the head of the Observation-Disclosures
81 behind Bryan.
Union county cast 2S4O votes at the
last election, nearly 500 more than at
any previous time in her history.
Lawrence county increased her vote
ll8O-an increase OF % per cent.
In Lead City, Black Hills, the Nc
Kinlev electors received 81 majority.
The city of Deadwood gave q majority
nf Ill for Bryan. In other words out Of
5SI4 votes in the two towns Bryan re-
ceived a majority OF so. The thirty and
some odd outlying precincts in mining
camps gave Bryan 1872 majority. Max
ing his total majority In Lawrence
county liz.
In regard to the canvass of the votes
by the state ~board-fOr state and
| national of1icers-the law reads: ION
the Thursday following the fourth
Monday after the day of election de-
cember 8 this year, the board of can
vassers shall open and examine the re-
turns from all counties, and If not re-
ceived they may adjourn, not exceed
ing 20 days for the purpose OF receiving
the returns from all the counties, and
when these are received, shall pro-
coed to canvass.
Out in the Black Hills Is where the
republicans met their severest blow so
far as the national ticket is concerned,
and for that matter the state ticket.
Two years ago the republicans left the
Hills with a majority Of over 400. In
the year of 1896 the populists win by q
majority bordering on 1850. No one
Can point out the cause except that the
Hills country follow the lead OF all
mining countries.

PROHIBITION

Prohibition seems to have met an
everlasting, defeat in the state and
from indications the repeal of the
amendment was carried by q majority
mot less than 10000. Two considera-
tions led to the defeat Of prohibition,
II our opinion. First there was q
general disgust on the part Of many
over the continuaa failure Of the efforts
made to stamp out the illegal selling
and prevent violations Of the law. In
but few places was the law enforced to
the letter. The minute the saloons
were closed BY the injunction process,
the plague would break out In arother
spot worse than before. The leading
question to come up now is, what
character OF q licence law would
bettsr conform TO the wants OF the
people. Both the Iowa or Minnesota
laws seem to have already gained a
foot hold In the state. Either law men.
toned the country receives Q portion
Of the tax. In Minnesota the minimum
license Is fixed by law which must be
paid 70 the county treasurer. The city
authorities have the right to charge
any sum-except that which would bt
absolutely prohibitory-in excess o
the county license. In Iowa the same
Idea preyails, except that the license i
lien against the real estate on which
the saloon IL located until paid.

The message Of William Jennings
Bryan to President-elect Mckinley was
: graceful and becoming act. While
his ideas on economic principles are

view. this can be said that there are

his honesty Of purpose and honorable
