- (Editorial CorreEoondcnce.) -> Huron, Dec. 17.—The Legislature

adjourned at noon to-day, after ap­pointing the several committees and closing up the usual routine work, to meet again at the call of the Governor, Lieut. Governor and Speaker. As the details of the session become better known, as the many circumstances sur­rounding the choice of Senators be­come better understood, the verdict of every reasoning man in Dakota must be that the final step in the preliminary movement toward statehood has been taken with the same decisive spirit, with the same respect for the su­preme ^authority of law, with .the same careful consideration of our rights on the one hand, and the power of Congress on the other that have characterized all the proceed­ings which have gone before. Before any hasty judgment is passed let the detailed proceedings be considered, let the stalwart sentiments embodied in the inaugural address of Gov. Mellette, and in the speeches of the Senators elect, as well as of General Campbell, and in the resolutions and supplement­ary memorial passed by the legislature be carefully gone over. It matters not that the personal preferences of some very good men have been disappointed in the choice of Senators, the movement is to-day stronger than ever, and the men chosen to go to AVashington go there on a platform as positive, as radical as the most advanced workers could ask for, and which will admit of no backward look or step.

After the result of the election was virtually settled Tuesday .arrangements were made to serenade the Senators at their hotel in the evening. The excel­lent band of the llansom Dramatic Company volunteered its services, and a large crowd gathered to hear what responses would be made. Short speeches were made by both gentlemen, of no uncertain tenor, and if there were any doubts as to where either Edgerton or Moody stood they were speedily dispelled. Follow­ing them Representative Kanouse made one of his stirring speeches. This impromptu affair had a good effect but it was mild compared with what followed.

Wednesday the Legislature met in joint session and the formal work of announcing the result was done. In the Senate, Gideon C. Moody received the votes of all the Senators present except that of Senator Lavin of Brown who refused to vote, because his con­stituency had instructed him not to. Senators McClure and Sanborn were not present.

The vote for second Senator resulted as follows: For Alonzo J. Edgerton— Adams, Aikins, Barnes, Barron, Bogert, Boland, Braden, Bronson, Cameron, Elfes, Ericson, Foote, Gamble, Haines, Johnson, Miles, McKinney, McVey. JTeill, Parker, Parsons, Reed, Stanch-field, Templeton, Washabaugh and White—27.

For Hugh J. Campbell, Cain, of Bea­dle, Fisher of Spink and Headlee of McCook—3. Absent—McClure and Sanborn.

Senator Lavin again refused to vote. There were no nominating speeches

made in the Senate of any length. The scene in the House on the day of

the vote was an interesting one. When nominations were called for D. C. Shull of Clay county named Moody, Elliott of Bon Homme, named Edger­ton. and Sterling of Spink, placed Campbell's name before the body, each in live, short speeches that started the enthusiasm. Then that old wheelhorse,

W. Shannon of the Huronite, who is as glib and forcible with tongue as he is keen and logical with his pen, got up to second the nomination of Camp­bell. He did it admirably, tracing his candidate's history back to the begin­ning, and setting forth every step of it. There was hearty applause when he closed, though it was pretty well known then that Gen. Campbell was not to be chosen. •' ,

The vote as announced in joint ses­sion showed that on the first ballot Ed­gerton received 53 votes and Campbell 35, the members voting as follows:

For Edgerton: Aikin, of Union; Al­len, of Brown; Bennett, of Lincoln; Berry, of Clark; Beuchler, of Hutchin­son; Buchanan, of Turner; Cone, of Brule; Cogan, of Hand; Coates, of Clark; Carlisle, of Brown; Dahl, of Union; Dott.of Sanborn; Donahue, of Buffalo; Elliott, of Bon Homme; Fenno, of Spink; Green, of Brule; Goodsell, of Moody; Goudy, of Hyde; Hosmer.of Hutchinson; Hall of Brook­ings; Iloljart, of Moody; Howell, of McPherson; James, of Aurora; Jenk-ns, of Aurora; Kelsey, of Dajison; Knight, of Lawrence, LeCocq, of Douglas; Luther, of Hughes; Manning, of Minnehaha; Mason, of Brown; Mattice, of Roberts; Morris, of Hutch­inson; Mulhollend.of Hamlin; Norton, of Day; Oleson, of Clay; Ryan, of Hamlin; Shull,of Clay; Smith,of Hand; Summerside, of Hughes; Todd, of Bon Ilomme; Thorson and Treat,of Lincoln Turner, of Marshall; Turner, of Tur­ner; Tuttle, of Lake; Tronson, of Day VanOsdel, of Yankton; Ward, of Turner; Wardell, of Grant; Welden.of Lawrence; Whitecomb, of Grant; Wil

cox, of Bon Homme; Mr. Speaker, of Codington;

Campbell's vote on the fitst ballot came from: Amundson, of Brookings; Beebe, of Beadle; Burwell, of Spink; Chapman, of Hanson; Caflin.of Beadle; Crain, of Campbell; Duell, of Sulley; French, of Yankton; Farrell, of Spink; Fenno, of Spink; Gerner, of Beadle, Greeley,.of Deuel; Hanson, of Yank ton; Hall, of Brookings; Huntley, of Jerauld; Johnston, of McCook; Jones, of Brule; Dow,of Kingsbury;Loveless; of Potter; Lowe, of Brule; Lyman, of Minnehaha; Newton, of McCook; Pat-ton, of Miner; PorterQeld, of Sanborn; Reese, of Miner; Richmond, of Ed munds, Riggs, of Spink; Shannon and ShefHer, of Beadle; Shaul, of Minneha­ha; Smith, of Kingsbury; Sterling, of Spink; Sweet, of Codington; Walters, of^SirdoKings; A^bllin^xaf geadle< White, of Hanson, Wright, of Lake.

Moody was voted for second and got all but one or two of Edgerton's votes and enough of those that went for Campbell before to give him seventy in all.

The opera house was thronged when the formal resul( was announced, in the expectation of hearing" addresses from the Senators, but as it was near dinner time adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock.

At that time the Senators elect were escorted to the stage, amid the most hearty applause, and Judge Edgerton was the first to speak. What he said was in the line of his remarks the night before, and left no question as to where he stands, and what he will endeavor to accomplish at Washington. He spoke very briefly, however, and gave way to his colleague, Judge Moody, who went quite exhaustively into the movement and its various steps from the'beginning. He would consider no such thing as failure possible at Wash­ington whenever the powers that be had the case laid before them as it would be. Both these speeches wore received with the heartiest enthusiasm and left no question that the Legisla­ture felt satisfied it had made most wise selections.

The most striking feature of the af­ternoon, however, was an unexpected one. At the close of the speeches the President of the Senate requested that body to retire to its hall. The members started down the aisle when Speaker Eddy called a halt. He resummoned Lt. Gcvernor Frank to the chair, and Senator Gamble, of Yankton, then moved that the Hon. Hugh J. Campbell be invited to address the joint session. At the first mention of his name the applause began and kept up until he was escorted to the stage and began his speech. He was deep­ly. effected as well he might have been and with difficulty controlled his voice sufficiently to begin speaking. He thanked the Legislature for the honor,said it was the proudest moment of his life, and assured his listeners and the people of the proposed state that though a defeated candidate, he was still in the movement heart and soul, and would co-operate to the ex­tent of his ability with the newly elected Senators in their efforts to secure admission. He was frequent­ly interrupted by applause and when he had finished, the august body laid off its dignity and gave him three rousing cheers. Not a person in the house, no matter what his personal preferences might.have been, but was glad of this tribute to the man who took his defeat so bravely. It was no reflection on the honorable gentlemen who had been successful, no apology for not having elected him, but was simply and wholly a recognition of Gen. Campbell's earnest and persistent efforts in placing the movement where it is.

keep his feet off the table. The Senators, Representatives and

the President of the State Executive committee will go to AVashington im­mediately after the holidays. Rev. Joseph AVard, of Yankton, and John II. Drake, of Aberdeen, were appointed by the Legislature to accompany Gen. Campbell.

Governor Mellette's message was an able, comprehensive and carefully pre­pared document, and was delivered with telling effect. To those who knew the man only by reputation it gave a better idea of his courage and ability than could have been obtained in any other way.

The newspaper men got their share of the honors. Drake, of the Aberdeen Pioneer, was made secretary of the Senate; Mc Connell, of the Carthage Home, was chief clerk in the House, and Biernatski was elected engrossing clerk after a hard struggle on the part of the representatives to break his name up.

A strong supplementary memorial on division and admission was passed this morning, and will be presented to Congress at once. It was respectful but earnest in its tone and backed by the facts and figures which will be taken with it, may let some light into the heads of Senator Butler and others who heed information.

I move to amend a certain allusion in a recent letter of minetotheRKi'un-lican, to the seats in the Huron Opera House, which is justly entitled to its reputation as the most complete in the territory. It was partially seated with kitchen chairs, the opera seats having been taken out to save them from the necessarily rough usage for legislative purposes.

Representative Kelsey, of Davison, goes on the committee on highways, and on "apportionment: Chapman, of Hanson, is chair­man of committee on manufacture, and is on counties and on warehouses; Cone, of Brule, is on railroads, engrossed bills and warehouses; White,of Han­son, chairman of education and on highways, and on railroads; Jones, of Charles Mix, public buildings, high, ways; Greene, of Brule, chairman of river improvements, on Indian affairs and counties; Jenkins, of Aurora, chairman warehouse and on ways and means, and constitutional amendments Porterfield, of Sanborn, on penal insti­tutions, federal relations; Dott, of San­born, public buildings, townships and cities; James, of Aurora, appropriation, state affairs; Lowe, of Brule, engrossed bills, townships and cities; LeCocq, of Douglas, chairman charitable institu­tions and on apportionment, public lands. n. w. w.

RANDOSt NOTES.

I found Jeff. Stockwell, well known hereabouts, acting as foreman in the Times office.

The senatorial party and Gen. Camp bell occupied a private box at the Ransom performance Tuesday night.

Col. Price of Letcher was one of the speakers at the reception Monday night and got more than his share of ap­plause.

Speaker Eddy grew in the estimation of the house—and the outsiders—as presiding officer and a clear headed legislator.

Barring a indolent disinclination to get up to put motions, Lieut. Gov. Frank made a fair presiding officer, though he and Col Parker had one or two disagreements.

In the Senate, Moody was nominated by Col. Parker, of Dead wood; Edger­ton by B. J. Templeton, of Pierre Campbell by "John Cain, of Huron.

Senator Stanchfield was made chair man of the committee on elections, and a member of the judiciary committee on schools and public lands, and one other.

The ladies of Huron took a marked interest in the proceedings and graced the galleries daily with their presence

The Knights Templar did the very elegant thing at their reception Mon­day evening.

Among the members of the last ter­ritorial House in the present one were J. P. Ward of Turner, and Uncle John Hobart Moody, but Parshall of Hanson had to come down with the press gang and
