Ftaef sased that his oppo-

h~osninationI We End him going from
house - house III the interior Of
lis TsrTitory trying 70 prcselyte

Judge Bennett, and BY attempting
~ prejudice republicans against
him. "A lila zeal 10 create OLSEN
siorls among republicans, he has
neglected u call upon his demo-
- fFisrds. What ! spectacle is
prasented il this canvasl The
standard bearer Of the democratic
party secretly and slyly vending
bis way from the home Of one re-
pablican to another, asking them
to support him for delegate When
be meets a man who was favorable
to Judge Kidder he tells him that
Ire Judge was fairly nominated,
and that BENEFITS nomination was
secured BY fraud. To another he
says there il no principle involved
in this campaign. II is simply a
sectional fight between Southern
Dakota and the Black Hills, and
that he represents the interests Of
the former. II this be the real
issue, why does not Mr.. Trip take
the stump and come out openly
and make these statements in pub
licf Again, why does not the
Hsy0H have something to say
shout this question: The truth is
sisither M. Tzipp nor that paper
dare make such statements pub
licly There il no such question
Iinv0lved Ia this canvass. It is
simply campaign talk. II the
statement made by Mr. Trip be
true that be proposes If elected q
|repreeent Southern Dakota, is he
worthy 81 the Office to which he

Hills that within any way be Diet

TINT viii injuref any other section
Certainly not. But Nh. Trip says
Judge Bennett will have the
Black Hilis formed into q new
territory. On this point Mr.. BEN
nett says that 40 has never been
askcdaby anyaman in the Hills
whether he favored such q scheme
or mol, and that,tho people Of the
Hills are decidedly opposed TO be-
ing sct.olf from this part Of the
Territory. We have taken consid-
emble pains TO ascertain the senti-
ment q tho people IN the Hills on
this question, and know the state
naent If Judge Bennett is true,
Will any true republican be in
dslced to desert the standard bear
er Of his party BY such . line d
argument I Republicans youl
candidate is the peer Of Mr.. TripI
liz every respect and besides he il
q repablican. What has Mr.. Trip
ever done that entities him toyonl
snpport2 His friends have giver
no good reason, and we know o
none. Those who oppose Judge
Bennett say he IS honest and capa'
be; what more can any republican
ask.
WE wish to correct the Sioux
City Sj6sssS in its statements las

There issuch q thing as men mind
