election Of senator's by universal suffrage
Their hopes were, however, blighted by the
results of today's elections oil OF the social

The indications today are that Kyle is in

hackers of Plowman and. Loucks claim to be
confident. The caucuses of the different par
ties TO select their nominees for chief officers
of the legislature will be held Tomorrow.
Colvin will very likely be the populst
choice Glass Is the only one so far men
toned as the republican choice, and Weeks
of Brule will receive the democratic nomina-
tiOn. The first ballot will not elect as the
eight democrats In the house hold the bal
ance of power, there being thirty-seven re-
publcans and thirty-eght populSts. A ru-
NOR was flying today of a democratic and re-
publican combination for the organization OF
tho house and 1t is yet being talked of, but
the democrats deny such a scheme. There
is no practical change from yesterday as to
the probabilities for the chief officers of the
two houses. but candidates for minor posi-
tions have become so numerous that il is
impossible to keep track of them.

these lands purchased and opened on the
demand OF the settlers. II was right that an
other policy should be adopted. The attrac-
tive idea OF free homes for the people was
all very well while the government had lanGs
acquired for political and territorial reasons
which 1t could donate TO them. The pur-
chase OF 100 acres and the donation OF the
same to a citizen Is entirely another thing
and can be justified in the opinion OF the
undersigned upon no consideration of public
policy or governmental duty. As well might
the government be called upon to buy lands
from individual owners or syndicates and
donate them as free homes to settlers as to
