KENTTcKY is IN DOUBT
GoebeI and Taylor Both Claim
the Election.
OHIO Is STRONGLY REPUBLICAN
Democrats of Washington Elated Over
Yesterdays Results, While the
Republicans Are Cores
pondingly Depressed.

Washington, November S.-(Special)-In
spite of the republican victory in Ohio and
the apparent defeat of Goebel in Kentucky,
the democrats here are elated over the re-
suits of yesterday, and the republicans and
the members of the administration corre-
spondingly chagrined and alarmed.
The defeat of the democrats in Kentucky,
even il true, is attributable to local dissen-
sions and in no way to national issues. But
the campaign in Maryland and Nebraska
was fought out purely ON national ques-
tions, while the personality of Mckinley
was made the test of loyalty in Ohio.
The administration flooded Maryland with
orators, and the whole force of the govern
ment machinery was thrown across the dis
trict line to tx Maryland for Imperialism
in the coming fight to be made ON that is
sue Imperialism the issue there, and
the cry to sustain the president in time of
war was made from every platform in pro-
portion to the work done. The defeat of
the administration there is signal and
alarming.
In the face of great odds and in spite of
expenditure of money in Nebraska, Mr..
Bryan carried his state on issues he himself
made Before he entered the state it SEEM
ed conceded to the republicans. By his
matchless campaign he stopped flowing
republican tide and turned the current
,;,,ic ic
keenly disappointed over the result in Ohio.

power thus furnishing all the elements
for a repetition of the exciting and bitter
contest of 1897 which resulted in the de-
feat Joo Blacgburn for the United States
senate. While the returns on the head of
the tickets are Incomplete but little atten-
tion has been paid to the figures on men,
bers of the legislature, and until the con-
test between the leaders is cleared up
somewhat, 1t will be hard to get an accu-
rate estimate of the relative strength OF
the parties in the assembly.
Chairman Blackburn of the democratic
state campaign committee at midnight to-
night gave out the following figures:
Senate: Democrats, twenty-seven; repub-
ncans, eleven. House: Democrats, fifty
five; republicans, forty-fye, with chances
of forty-four to forty-two.
Returns received by the Courier-Journal
up to midnight give Goebei plurality in
the state outside of the Eleventh district
of 15, ,3O0 The Eleventh district as far as
received, shows the usual republican ma
jority. Six counties in this district, which
last might reported Taylor's plurality, to-
night send revised figures increasing these
plurallties by 1900. On the other hand,
Goebels plurality in the First district, dn
the extreme western part of the state, the
banner democratic district, increases it's
plurality for Goebel several hundred over
the figures returned last night. In Louis
Vile warrants have been sworn out against
upward of 200 election officers and others,
alleging Intimidation of voters. The cases
will be presented to the federal grand
jury.

Horses Ase Up,

There is an appreciable differ
ence in the price of horses now
and what they were year ago,
says the Mitchell Daily Republi-
can, and it is all on the side of the
horse. At that time, so we are
told by a horseman, good heavy
draft horses would bring but $45
or $50, and the same horses today
are selling for S75, SS5 and sl0O.
A car load of draft horses was
shipped from Mitchell to an east
ern market a few days ago and
there wasn't All animal in the car
but what brought S75, many of
them bringing $40 to $50 higher.
The buyer said that a year ago he
could have bought any horse in
the lot for $50, and some of them
for less than that amount. A far
mer brought in team of heavy
draft horses to the buyer and he
refused an offer of 5000 for them.
The horsemau referred to said
that he never saw finer looking
lot of animals shipped out of any
town than this carload. The in
crease in the price of horsehesh is
said to be due to the foreign de-
mand for American horses and
any number of them are being
shipped across the water. 1t is
evident that there is turn in the
tide in horse-dom and it will be
greatly appreciated by the own
ers.

During the last campaign the
DeSmet News was one of the most
vindictive partisan papers in the
state, and made all sorts of sour
ulous remarks against the ''insurg-
ent republicans" as they saw fit to
call the REGISTER along with other
newspaper publishers who had the
stamina to stand up and denounce
the action of the Mitchell conven-
tion. Some weeks before that con-
vention the REGISTER said it would
be mistake to nominate Kirk
Phillips. 1t made no threats be-
cause that would have done no
good, but at that time we had
knowledge that convinced us OF
his wrong doing and the REGISTER
had decided that it could not sup
port Mr.. Phillips either at the con-
vention nor the polls, if nominated.
OF course we we're obliged to
stand a Wholesale lot of personal
abuse, but now the evidence has
confirmed our convictions and the
boys are beginning to see that the
course pursued by the REGISTER
was the only right one for news
paper that believes in purity in
politics and wishes to establish a
reputation for honesty or has any
desire to sustain its self respect.
We cheerfully forgive our repub-
lican newspaper brothers for their
abusive remarks during the cam
paign and trust they will go and

Settlers Excursion To South
Dakota.

On March %, March 80 and
April A the railroads running into
South and North Dakota will
make a very low excursion rate to
landseekers and intending set
tiers. This rate has been secured
by the Dunkerds, who have had
emissaries in the great wheat belt
for the last sixty days, and who
are getting ready to make a great
movement in the spring. They
have secured rate of s5 from st.
Paul, or Minneapolis, into the
Dakotas, and immense parties of
these excellent husbandmen are
expected to join in the movement
Dakotaward. According to the
Pioneer Press immense parties,
some of which have special trains
will start their old settlements
for the wheat belt the next two
months" Most of these people
are now bound for the northern
part of this state, and for North
Dakota, but it is believed that
many will also inspect, the south
ern and central portions of this
state, and that as the result of
these excursions hundreds of val
liable new citizens will be added
to our population.
Citizens who are anxious to as
sist in the immigration movement
can do much to assist in the dis
tribution of advertising matter
and in inducing friends who have
been interested in South Dakota
to take advantage of these rates
for a trip of inspection. If you
have a friend, who thinks of max
ing a change of location, write
him about the advantages offered
by South Dakota. Secure adver-
tising matter and send it. Sup
plement with a personal letter.

nisbed with all the information

established business men of the

transient merchants who go to a
town for the purpose of disposing
of stocks of goods at auction, or
who take bankrupt or assigned
stocks TO another town for the
purpose of disposing of them,
with no intention of becoming a
resident and taxpayer, shall pay a
license of from S75 to $50 pei
month, and that such license shall
be granted only by the city OF
town council or supervisor of the
township for a period of not less
than one month. Madison Sen.

ment. When you hear reports
detrimental to young ladies and
gentlemen don't be hasty in form
ing conclusions. Today it is some

sin no more. The REGISTER takes
pleasure in quoting from the News
of last week as follows:
To sTEAL-to take that which
does not belong to you-except in
terest on other peoples money.
If man steals an old plug of a
horse-or a farrow cow--or an or
Jade watch--he is in great luck if
he doesn't get ten years retire
ment For stealing a half million,
two years-with a liberal discount
for good behavior. For interest,
good behavior saves his bacon en-
tirely. Law is mystery.
We feel like rendering whole
sale apology to the pop editors of
the state-because last fall we re-
ceived with ridicule their ridicu-
lous statement that Treasurer
Phillips wants to settle with Gov
ernor Phillips" In the light of
after-events the ridiculous feature
of the proposition seems to have
evaporated.
The Sioux City Journal says "it
appears to be a well established
and generally accepted fact in
South Dakota that Kirk Phillips
collected interest on public funds
during his recent incumbency Of
the state treasurership 1T does so
appear. 1t does. The journal
adds, according to the view of
the attorney general of the state,
he had warrant for so doing and
cannot be prosecuted therefor in
the absence of a statute govern
ing the case" Wonder if Mr..
Phillips warrant" was found in
thH section of the constitution
quoted elsewhere, or in the "preci-
dent established by Walt Taylor
upon the advice of leading law
yers?
Beginning with Taylor, who not
only took interest rs it is believed
Phillips has done, but who, also,
by allowing himself to become the
victim of his friends" gobbled
principal and all, the mauipula-
ton of the state treasury of South
Dakota presents case OF almost
unparalleled rascality-and ras-
cally neglect, stupid omission, or
deplorable incompetency on the
part of the law making and ad-
ministrative powers. There was
no law in Taylor's case providing
punishment adequate to the crime,
and none at all to punish the
thieves who brought about his
Embarrassment" As one result
of that crime Ex-Gov. Mellette,
one of Taylor's chief bondsmen,
impoverished his family, became a
voluntary exile, and died among
strangers, his life shrouded and
shortened by "man's inhumanity."
His unsullied honor and integrity
in giving up his all to make his
bond good was the only bright
spot in the whole black transaction.
Who will be the next great man to
confidence his friends?
