A Pierre dispatch reports optimistic Republican prospects for the fall elections with state tickets showing strong local support. Despite earlier free silver noise, Republicans expect minimal silver loss and gains from Democrats, aided by votes from loyal tariff backers.

A humorous note recounts Roger Powell’s hat voyage tagged for a six-month return, now likely lost to Uncle Levering.
