Nothing Else Thought of in South Dakota's Blection. PIERRE SEEMS A SURE WINNER, The Other Towns Throwing the Sponge — Close Vots on Prohibition—Republis can Success, Up South Dakota Retnrns. Prewne, 8. D, Oct. 2.—South Dakota's first state eloction descended to a scramble for the capital location, There hias been no fight on anything else. Melletta is elected governor by 20,000 majority. Pickler and Gifford go to congress, The republican ma- jority in the legislature will bo al least sixty, insuring the election of two republican United States senators. The vote was enormous, probably 80,000, and the trade and sale of ballots was on the capital fight. For the capital Pierre, Huron, Watertown, Chamberlain, Sioux Falls and Migehell were eatered. Reports received up to this mor ing indicated a vote for Pierre of 20.000, Hu- ron 21,000, Sioux Falls 11,000, Watertown 10,000, Mitehell 7,000 and Chamberlain 5,000, All the ante-cléction talk of fraud proved but wind, the election being very quiet, and 80 far as reported no frauds were attempted and no fights permittod. Huron bas not given up the fight, but this morning still claims to huve sceired the capital, us also does Sioux Fall Owing to the great interest taken in the cap- ital contest but little attontion was given to minority ropresentation and 1t was doubtless defeated. Lhe fate of prohibition hangs in the balance. In a_square fight it would probably have carried, but votes on this question were recklessly traded on the capi- tal location, and the vote, whatever it is, will not fairly represent the sentiments of the people of South Dukota. erve Away Atead, DEADWOOD, 8, D., Oct. 2.—|Speciul to Tie Bk, |—The election for state judicial and legislative oftices held here yesterday was one of the most exciting in the history of the Black Hills. The diverse interests und ques- tions to be voted on mixed things up badly, and made the result very doubtful. ull re- turas have not yet been received from the outlying preciucts, but enough has been ob- tawed to indicate heavy democratic gains nearly everywhere. C. M. Thomas (dem) has veen elected district judze over A. W. Hastie, (ren) by nearly 500 majority, and the county judge is very close. The full repub- lican legislative tickét has been elected in uuty, with the possible exception of Johu Wolsemouth, by reduced mujorities, Pierre for the capital is far ahead in race, with Huron second, and Sioux third. Prohibition is defeated by from 101,000, Some of the most remarkable surprises i the whole election were seen here. In Lead City, where the Homestake mine is located, vrohibition received a majority of the votes cast in two wards, and a 0Ig 70t was cast for it in the wood camps. It was snowed under in Deadwood by 500 majority. Butte county elecis a democratic mewber of the legislature. Meade, Pennington and Fail River counties are ' largely democratic. It was a land stide.

Republicans arriving in Washington from Jackson, Miss,, say the work of the recent republican nominating convention in that state proves a very sorry disappointment to the shotgun brigade, anda the bourbons of the state are trying to make the heud of the ticket the issue along with tho ruce issue, and are avoiding the real questions beforo tho country. It will be remembered that the convention nominated General Juwmes R. Chalmers, of Fort Pillow notoriety, for the gov- ernorship, and since tuo convention wus largely composed of colored men, the bourbons ave attempting to deride the nomination, as Chalmers was one of the leading confederate brigadiers during the late war and therefore fought for sluvery, The object of the republicans in nominating Chalmers was to secure a white ticket on which it wovld be impossible for the bourbons to successfully raise the race issue “Thefiominces 4re all white men ex- cept N. H, Mollison, who is the nominee for secrotary of state. Mollison is a man of education, culture and property, The domo- crats are thus confronted with white men who were once in their ranks. Beforo tne shotgun policy was inaugurated the bour- bons invariably nominated one colored man at each of their state conventious and w the last campaign ran a colored man for secre- tary of state. Notwithstanding this fact the democrats have issued @& cir- cular stating that 1t is simply a question whether white or colored men shall hoid the oflices and rule the state's affairs. The bourbons nominated their state ticket abouta month ago and tney have practically withdrawn their platform and cuised the race issue. ‘The republicans, con- fideut thut they have a majority of the Votes in the state, intend to push their ticket with all the possible vigor and attempt to elect it, although they have no hopes whatever that their ballots will bo_counted. The election takes place November 12, General Chul- mers has challeged Lowrey, the democratic candidate for governor, and it comes here to- might that the challenge will bo deciined on the ground that *'a nigeer is on the ropub- lican ticket.” ALLISON'S PROSPE Congressman Struble, of loy says that Senator Allison will be re-elected, prictically without opposition, as soon as thé next legislature is chosen. He regards Mr. Allison as the most popular man lowa has ever placed in public life and thiuks he should be continued, Mr. Struble has taben a'great interest in railvoad and territorial interests, and in dis- cussing with your correspondent measures which are likely to come before the approach- g session of congress, said: “It is not likely that efforts will be mada to further amend the inter-state commerce law before the amendments adopted at the last session are thoroughly tested — Further legislation is needed and 1 shail favor it, but we will have to feel our way.” ““The agitation about the irrigation of the arid Ymins of the west,” continued Mr. Struble, “will attract universal atterition wnd bring about needed legislation. Irriga- tion can be accomplished by the storage sy tem in the wountwins and by dividing the water courses and diggiug artesian well; Wo oan make productive almost as much public land as ths government is now the possessor of and these lands will be better than those we have given to settle There is constitutional authority for providing for wrrigation and thero is° no reason wny it 8hould not be done. Congress will undoibt- edly establish a commission of irrigation similar to the inter-state commerce commis- sion.” + A GREAT DAY FOI INDIANA MEN, Unusual iuterest was shown here to-day in the result of the elections in the four new states.

Blaine said: “‘Gentlemen of the Intornational American confercnce: Speaking for the govornment of the Unmited States I bid you weleomo to this capital. Speaking for the neople of the United States Tbid you welcome to every section and every state in the union, You came in response to the invitation extended by the president on the special anthorization of congross. Your prosence here is no ord nary eveat. It signifles mach to the people of all America to-day. It may signify far more in days to come. No conforence of na- tions ever assemblod to considoer tho welfare of territorial possessions so vust, and to con- tomplate tho possibilities of a fu- ture s0 great and mspiring. Those now sitting within theso wal are empowered to speak for nations which border on both the great oceans, whose northern limits are touched by tho Aretiv waters for thousands of miles boyond the straits of Behring, whose southorn exten- sions furnish human habitations further below the equator than is eisewhere possible on the globe. Whilo cons!derations of this character must inspire Americans, both south and north, with the livoliest anticipa. tions of thew future grandeur and power, they must also impress thom with a seuse of the gravest responsibility touching the chare- acter and dovelopment of their respoctive nationalities, The delegates whom I am ad- dressing can do much to establish permauent relations of confidence, respect and friend- ship between the nations which they repre- seat. 'hoy can show to the world an hon- orable, peaceful conference of seventeen in- dependent American vowers, in which all shall meet on terns of absolute equality, a conference n which there can be mno attempt to co- erco a singlo delegate agawst his own conception of the interests of his nation, a confidence which will permt no secret un- derstanding on any subject, but will frankly publish to tho worla all its conclusions, acon- feronce which will tolerate no spirit of con- auest but will aim to cultivate American sympathy, broad as both continents; a_con- ference which will form no selfish'alliance against older nations from which we are proud to ¢laim inheritanc a conference in fine which will k nothing, propose noth- ing, endure nothing that is not the general sense of all the delegutes, timely, and wise and peaceful, “And yor we cannot be oxpocted to forgo t that our common fate has made us mhabi- tants of two continents which ut the closo of four centurics are rogarded beyond the svas as the new world. Like situations beget like sympathies and impose like dutics. Weo meet in the firm belief that the nations of Ameriea ought to and can be more helpful each to the other than they now are, and that each will find advantazo and profit from an enlarged intercourse with the others, Wo believe we should be drawn together more closely by the highways of the sea and that at no distant day the railway systems of tho north and the south will meet upon the 1sth- mus and connect by land routes the potitical and commercial capitals of all Aweric ‘e believe that hearty co-oper on heart confidence, will s: erican states from burdens and evils which have long and cruelly afflicted the older nations of the world. All'beneve tho spirit of justice, of common and equal interest between Aune: ican states will leave no room for an artificial balance of power like unto that which b drenchea Burobe in blood. We believe friendship, avowed with cundor and main- tained with good faith, will remove tfrom the American states the nccessiiy of guarding tue boundary lines between themselves with fortifications and military force. We believe that standingarmies, beyond-these-whioh are needful for the public order and the safety of internal administration, should be un- known on both American continents. We Delieve that friendship, and not force, should be the recognized rule between Amerivan na tions. ““To these subjects and those which are ation of this confer- iially invited by the government of the United States. [t will bo a great gain wheu wo shall ucquire that common confidence on which all interna- tional friendship must rest. 1t will be a greater gain when we shall bo able to bring all the American nations into closer ac- quaintance with euch other, an end to b facilitated by more freqrent and more rapid inter-communication, It wil he greatest n when the persanal und commercial rela- tions of the American states, south and north, shali be so developed and regulated that each shall acquire the highest possible tvantages from the enlightened and en- larged intercourse of all, Before the conference shall formally enter upon the discussion of the subjects to be submitted to it [am instracted by tho Presi- dent 1o invite all the guests of the govern- ment during the proposed visit, to the various parts of the country, with the doubie view of showing to our friénds from abroad the condition of the United States and of Eiviug v our howes the privileze and pleas. ure of extending the warm welcome of Americans to Awcricans.” The address was received with an amount of enthusiasm somewhat remarkable in a body of such character, At Whe conclusion of his speech Secretary Blaino withdrew and resolutions were adopted naming 4. G. Blaine as president of the congress. John B, Henderson acted as president pro tempore. A numbor of com- Iittees were then appointed, after which congress adjourned until Monday, November 10. Secretary Blaine then came in_and es- corted the members of congress to the white house. ‘W'he president gave a special rec tion at 10:30, one of tha foatures of which was an informal lunch served in tho state dining room at 2 o’clock. ne gave a banquet to the at the Hotel Normandie to-night.
