In summing up the election contests
in South Dakota and presenting the
issues in the several judicial circuits,
the Sioux City Journal Of yesterday has
the following laughabIe statement of the
situation:
The Second circuit is being watched
with great interest. This is the breed
ing place Of silverism; it is the home of
Senator Pettigrew and his ~lleutenants;
it is a circuit that has a populist MAORI
ity of about 1000, and the last legisla-
ture added Union county to the circuit,
giving it 300 more populist votes. There
is a bad feeling among the democrats
because the party leaders indorsed
Judge Wilkes, the populist nominee, in
the face of their demands for an indie
pendent party ticket, and much cutting
is promised on this account. Perhaps
greater interest is taken 10 the result in
this circuit than in any circuit east of
the Missouri river, for the reasons above
ascribed."
AS the populists and democrats have
simply advocated the superior merits of
their CT ndidate, Judge Wilkes, while
the republicans have been dilatlng in
silly. boyish fashion oyer an imaginary
fight between Judge Jones and Joe
Kirby, neither Of whom are really worth
considering as candidates in the contest,
the above from the Journal is really
"amoosin."
