PlBKRE, S. D., Feb. 18. - The question was raised yesterday as to the legality of Kyle's election to the United States senate. The claim is made that the constitution provides that a majority of all the members of the legislatura is necessary to elect. This would necessitate Kyle's rereceiving eighty-five votes, whereas the vote gave Kyle only seventy-five. There are alao rumors that Kyle was voted for by the Democrats on a "deal" by which the F. M. B. A. men in the Illinois legislature are to vote for Palmer.
