The Tidal Wave Reaches Even Unto Hand County,

Tuesdays vote throughout South
Dakota was a light one, md republic
cans claim the state by 10000 ma.
jority on supreme Judges, the only
officers voted Tor.
Hand County's vote follows APP
parently in the general trend OF the
state, and with light vote gives a
republican majority Of about 100.
The various states that voted
Tuesday have not changed their
political complexion IA great deal
Iowa gives a 5000 republican ma
jority, and Massachusetts comes in
with about as big "a majority for re-
publicans, Maryland, Virginia, Mis-
sissippi gave the regular democratic
maiorities.
The keenest contests were in Ohio
and Nebraska, where especial inter
est conferred because these states are
thought to indicate the public pilsa
upon their two distinguished citi-
zens, President Mckinley and w. j.
Bryan.
These off-vear elections are studied
for their significance upon the more
important campaigns, and the epec
tions OF Tuesday comes particularly
under this head. In every state
in fact in every precinct party mea
are closely examining the vote to
see what the expression is upon ma
tional issues. CT course in many
places local issues affected this or
or that man, but these are consider
ed ard given their relative position
in the general summing up ofnatiol
al issues. From this standpoint the
republicans OF South Dakota, OF
Hand County and OF Miller can
feel pretty good over the vote of
Tuesday. While the vote was light
in both county and whit Is strong
ly republican in sentiment, especially
is this marked in Miller where the r.
publican Judges Corson and Haney
received 9S each. and Fuller 101.
Fuller's gain being on a local ~
quaintance of just five populists, and
leaving the proper republican vote
of Miller at 90, as no local influence
affected the other two republican
Judges. So the proper claim OF re
publicans in Miller is 90 votes cast
out of 135 total, or 1872, as three
were void and notcounted.
On county Commissioners local
matters affected the full party ex-
preston. Mr.. Mead, republican, re,
ceiyed 10 votes, or ~ votes less tllun
the republican Judges. Thus ~ re-
Dubiicans out OF he 30 voted with
the populists on commissioner, the

IT SEEMS LEWIS WAS ABOUT RIGHT.-
Our Washington correspondent, under
date OF the 9th inst, writes: Whether
the public gets chance to see the re-
port OF the army board of survey,
which is now secretly investigating the
charge of Gen. Miles, that the beef
furnished our soldiers in Cuba and
Porto Rico was embalmed' with
chemicals, which rendered it unfit to
eat and dangerous to health, will de-
pend entirely upon what Secretary AL
ger says after the report has been sub
mitted to him, and what he will say
will depend upon the nature Of the re-
port. II it be against Miles, it will be
published as widely as possible; if it
confirms his charges, it will be pigeon
holed for keeps. The beet trust is
working hard to convince the board
that they used no chemicals and that
the beef furnished the soldiers was the
same that the trust sells in every large
city in the country all the time. Gen.
Miles is conducting an independent in
vestigation, through the office of the
Inspector General OF the Army. and
the War Investigating Commission
is also dallying with the beef question.

CONCEIVABLE. - Our Washington
correspondent, whose letter is I'M
avoidably crowded out of this issue
in abiding to the proposition to add
Confederate veterans to the pension
list, quotes the opinion expressed by
A. ID. Mcclure, of Georgia, as follows
IF any one supposes that the south
ern people have the remotest idea that
the veterans of the Confederate army
or their friends expect pensions of the
U. S. Government, or even reception
into the Soldiers Homes, grievously
mistaken notion is cherished. Our
people are not dreaming of any such
idea, for they are too sensible to en-
terrain any proposition so utterly ro-
mantle, not to say absurd. The old
" Johnnies" are doing tirst-rate without
any bounty from Washington. Our
pension list is already big enough,
and there is no need for further bur-
dens. The whole idea is Quixo,ic and
the very first to denounce it would be
the proposed beneficiaries."
