THE COMING COMBAT
Tuesday WiU Decide the Politics
of tlie Four New States
Xorth and South Dakota Will be Cer-
tainly Won by the Republicans
by Good Majorities
Montana Almost Certainly Democratic While
Washington is Looked Upon a8
Dabatable Ground
St Paul Minn Sept 2S + Tuesday next the
voters of North Dakota South Dakota Montana
and Washington territories will cast their votes
for or against the several constitutions prepared
for their consideration by the various constitu-
tional conventions thereby announcing their
birth as states in the American Union and at
the same time they will chopse officers whom
they wish to govern them at home and to repre-
sent them at the national capital
The campaigns which have been waged
during the past few weejis in the dif-
ferent territories have been characterized
by the various expedients tjsual to American
commonwealths and have been hard and well
fought battles for the supremacy of party princi-
ples and candidates Farfeo John Miller
Republican candidate for governor has made a
steady fight on the tariff issue as it
affects the farmer and the campaigning
done
by the Democrats has tended to help his
in
arguments favor of a protective tariff He has
been well supported by the congressional candi-
date H C Hansberg and on this issue the
fight has been waged
Regarding the general result in North Dakota
John M Quinn of Bismarck a strong Democrat
and newspaper man a resident there for some
years and abundantly able tpj judge as to the
question expresses the opinion that the highest
figures the Republicans should expect is
5000 majority and this may be
reduced to 1000 or leps He also
thinks the Democrats have viry good chance of
electing one or more candidates which chance
would have been much betterihad more outside
assistance been furnished them He believes
D W Maratta the Democratic candidate
stands a good show of being the first congress-
man and W N Roach Deuiocrat may become
the first governor
On the other side John A Rea a wellin
formed correspondent and Republican figures
out a Republican plurality of 11000 Between
these two estimates lays the Republican ma-
jority the majority for delegates from the
counties from which North Dakota was formed
at the last congressional election being about
seven thousand
The present territorialgovernor A C Mel
lete will undoubtedly be the first governor of
South Dakota while the Uni od States senator
ship lies between Messrs Moody Pettigrew
ancf Edgerton the first and last of whom were
chosen by the former wantedtobe state leg
islature in 18S5
It may be said certainly that the Dakotas will
elect Republican officers that being admitted
tSby Democrats but nothing positive can be said
concerning the result in Montana Capt Mofiitt
of this city editor of the St Paul Globe ex-
presses the opinion that Montana will be
close with chances in favor of the Dem-
ocrats and that Washington will be close
with the advantage on the Republican
side It is undoubtedly the case that
in the Mountain state that whatever losses the
Republicans may suffer will result from over-
confidence on the part of the national commit-
tee but Montana Republicans are working hard
and thoroughly at the close of the campaign
Information received by the Pioneer Press focom
Montana is to the effect that the Republi-
cans stand a good chdnce of electing
the legislature and the candidate for con-
gressman but there is achaucethatj B Toole
Democrat may have a majority over T C Pow-
ers Republican for governor Protective tariff
has been advocated by both parties in Montana
In brief Montana seems to be debatable ground
with a fair chance of victory for either party
As to Washington the idea is that the Re pub
cans will carry the election for congressmen
state officers and the legislature
If the state election turns out according to the
claims of Republicansthere will be a Republican
gain in the national hou3e of five votes and in
the senate eight but if the Democrats
do what they anticipate there will be chosen
four Republican representatives one Democrat
and sis Republican senators In other words
at the lowest estimate the RepubUcans will have
a net gain of three votes in the house and four in
the senate

Gen Campbell of Kansas Believed to be the
Man Who Will ha Mado Pension
Commissioner this Week
Nothing to Fear from the G A It
Special to the Gazette
Washington Sept 28 Gen Campbell of
Kansas is the man who will in all likelihood
inherit the office vacated by Tanner A number
of prominent politicians called at the White
House today in Campbells interest What-
ever uneasiness the president has had concern-
ing the effect of Mr Tanners forced resigna-
tion has passed away He does not fear that
any great national issue will arise from it when
it conies to the Grand Army The president is
regarded as a comrade in as good standing as
Tanner He expects to put a good man at the
head of the pension office with respect for both
law and justice The administration has no less
sympathy for the veterans of the war than has
marked it from the first There is a-
very general opinion among the lead-
ing public men at present in Washington
that neither Mr Tanner or Private Dalzell is
A national issue
and that no amount of letter writing between
them can make them so There is no doubt that
when the pension office is reorganized every-
thing will be to the satisfaction of those in-
terested Prhate Dazells letter to Mr Tanner
stating why he published the latters letters and
claiming he had been promised the deputy com-
missionership is treated a a matter of little im-
portance Private Dalzells disposition to be
dramatic is well know and while he may think
that he was personally wronged in not being
given the deputy coinmissionership it will be
very difficult for him to convince any one famil-
iar with the president that he ever promised
Dalzell the office or authorized any one else to
do so
Tanners Irobnlile Successor
Washington Sept 28 The president received
a large number of callers at the White House to-
day Secretaries Windom Proctor and Tracv
were among the earliest and the first named had
quite a long conference Another prominent
visitor was Gen Campbell of Kamas who is
now spoken of as Commissioner Tanners most
probable successor He had apparently a satis-
factory interview Private Secretary Hal ford
was questioned this afternoon in regard to
Campbell s chances but declined to commit
himself He said however it was not likely
that the pension commissionership would be
filled today
