Looks as though Mckinley WIS out

Well. Mckinley and Allison will either
one satisfy South Dakota, though our
neehborly instincts incline us to favor
the Iowa statesman. However we look
for Mckinley instructions in this state,
largely because Senator Pettigrew is
radically opposing the Buckeye man,
and for the reason that there is very
little preference among tho people OF
this state between the men. Well be
happy with either. With Mckinley as
president Senator Allison will very
likely be member OF the cabinet, or

Major Anderson, who has figured
for some time ameng the most promi.
nent populist leaders Of the state, and
who recently announced at Hot Springs
his return TO the ranks Of the repubi-
can party, has doubtless been devoting
his time to study of tie comparison
between the political parties with a
view to uniting with the one having the
greatest merit. This is indicated by his
speech before the Fall River county ro-
publican convention, in which he said :
81 have had experience during the past
several years that satisfies me that there
are not sufficient people outside Of the
existing national parties to form a sue
cessful working national party. While
there is no party that fully voices my
individual sentiments i believe that /
can be of better service to my country,
my people, my family and myself by
again aligning myself with the grand
old republican party; not only voice
the sentiment of large number of in
dependents, but also thousands Of dem
ocrats who are going TO vote the repub-
lican ticket this fall and who hope that
the democratic party and its miserable
policy will be deeply buried"

A pathetic incident of more than or
dinary interest, which was especially
impressive, and no doubt pleasing to the
old soldier who figured as the principal
occurred during the late republican con-
vention at Huron. 1t appears that in
the large crowd assembled outside Of
the convention hall there were a num-
ber Of crooks who were successful in re-
lieving divers and sundry persons Of
their wallets. Among the victims was
an old soldier of the rebellion named
Briggs, who was victimized to the tune of
abont $40 which was the full extent Of
his cash surplus. This fact becoming
known to the delegates, whose sympathy
for the old veteran was thus fairly ar
reused il was suggested that the time

than in raising collection for the old
soldier, which was promptly done re-

neat and appropriate presentation
speech. The old veteran, trembling
with emotion and With unmistakable
signs of embarrassment, arose to his feet,
and in his own impressive, il not elo-
qusnt manner, responded, thanking the
members most heartily for their kind
and generous action in his behalf, while
the tears were rapidly chasing each
other down his emaciated cheeks, con-
cluding with the statement that he had
faced the cannons mouth upon manJ
occasions in which Lo greater degree Of
nerve was required than was necessary
on this occasion for him TO arise before
so large an sssemblage and attempt to
return the full measure Of his thank

that he had invariably noticed that

Jack Hale's Horse Contract.

"Not one horse accepted by the board
at Ft. Meade" This is the statement OF
Mr. Hale on being questioned during
the week in regard to his contract for
supplying the troops at Fl. Meade with
cavalry horses. Mr.. Hale says he offer
ed one man $500 for team of handsome
grsys, of blooded stock, provided they
passed the necessary inspection. The
animals were submitted but, while the
gentleman who composed the board
admitted they were fine looking pair,
"they were not suitable for cavalry"
And We would say that any board who
hold themselves strictly to the require
ments of the government in their Sc
lections of cavalry horses, would not be
able to get enough horses throughout
the country to equip our cavalry rsgi-
ment. Mr.. Hale has almost given up
hope of being able to supply the garri-
son with the mparatively small num-
Der required. Black Hills Press.

then he is business failure, and in
