Pierre. S. D., May 25.-Now that the county

ception being in the office of secretary OF
state, in which D. D. Wipf appears to have been

factions so close that he was ready at any
time to steer into q safe harbor from whatever
direction might come the storm. Every other
position, state and congressional, Will be
