ADDED TO OUR COMMONWEALTH. Montana, Waahingtoa and The Bakotaa at The Polla All Republican With Montana is Donbt The election in tke four aew State in the Northwest have been held, and the voters have given expression to their political views. WABKcrcroc?. So far as heard from the rote against iromen suffrage is two to one. The leg islatire ticket is believed to be Repub lican throughout. Washington capital ight will be prob ably act settled until a later election, a majority vote being required. Terrey (Hep) i elected Governor and Wilson (Rep) for Congress. MOITASA. Reports from all sections of the Ter ritory indicate that there was no disor der of any kind. In Helena, scarcely a man was seen under the influence of liquor, and there were no attempts at illegal voting. The Australian balloting system proved, so far as heard fmm, a eomnlete success. The ticket is a long one, aud it will be late before sufficient returts are in to exactly know the re sult on Governor and Congressman. At least a quarter of a million was staked on the result in Helena alone, most of it in the ratio of $10,500 on Toole, Democratic nominee for Gov ernor, to $2,800 on Power, Republican candidate. Even money has been the rule on bets on Maginnis and Carter, candidates for congress, while on the legislative tickets the Democrats, gave odds of 2 te 1. Helena is the capital, no other town eontesting for the honor. SOUTH BAIOTA. The legislature is strongly Republican. The Democrats elect Senators in eleven districts. The Republicans get twenty, with the 23rd district in doubt. The Republicans also get thirty-six -members of the assembly. The Democrats get 13, and there are five districts in dnubt. Hamsbrough, Republican, is elected to Congress by abou: 12,000 majority. Bis marck was chosen as the capital of North Dakota; no opposition. The ticket elected is as follows: J no. Miller, Governor; Alfred Dickey, Lt. ov. ; John Flittle, Sec y oi uue. sorrn bakota. .oVa The Renublicans have madea elean sweep of the State. The majority, as shown by Mellette for Governor and Pickler and Gifford for Congress, will be from 10,000 to 12,000. The Repub licans will have a large majority in the Legislature, thus insuring the election of two Republican United States Sena tors. The constitution is carried almost unanimously, and the minority as to representation is so far in minority as to be almost lost sight of. There is hardly a doubt that prohibition has carried, as the cause got a good majority m many of the leading towns, and everywhere its success is conceded. In the contest for the capital of South Dakota were Pierre; Watenown, Huron and Sioux Falls. Pierre was chosen having received the highest number of votes. A Southern Woman's Charms.

THE FARMER? HEW MOTE. Tare Mart be Settled far Whan tke Fanner SeRs Hit Gotten, The national committee of the Fann ers' Alliance met at Atlanta and adopted the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, the Association of American Cotton Exchanges met in New Orleans on the 11th, and in conjunction with various commissioners of agriculture and representatives of the farmers' interests, did recommend that cotton bs sold by weight as a solution of the tare question ; and whereas, information now received shows that said action has not received the approval of a sufficient number of Cotton Exchanges, and to enable the New Orleans Cotton Exchange to carry it out, commencing on the time agreed upon, to-wit, October 1, 1889; and whereas, the action taken by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, in favor of as sisting the farmers to get paid for the eight pounds more cotton than each cct-ton-wranned bale contains than the jute- covered, is highly appreciated, but for said Exchange to contend for the cause in spite of the fact thst many leading exchanges had deserted, is especially commendable, and will be co-operated in by the interests we represent; and whereas, the justice and equity of the farmers' claim on the tare question i , based on the fact, which stands boldly i and undisputed and indisputable, that every cotton wrapped bale actually con tains eight ounds more of lint cotton thtn it would if covered with jute: v Therefore, it is hereby resolved, That the action had by the Shreveport Cotton Exchange be adopted in the present emergency, and every farmer is hereby instructed, when offering for sale cotton wrapped in cotton bagging, to demand payment for eight pounds more of cotton than the actual gross weight of such bale. Resolved, That this action ia intended to supersede and take the place of the tare question. In no case shall a bale of cotton be sold subject to a dock of sixteen pounds for cotton bagging or twenty-four pounds for jute bagging as agreed in New Orleans unless the cot ton be sold at half a cent per pound in advance of the current price at that time and place. . Further instructions will be giea the Order by the national cotton committee on the 26th of October, through the president of each County Alliance, Wheel or Union of their county sites, where the President of each Primary Alliance, Wheel or Union will meet them to receive the same.
