ticket for neg months election. Others
adhere to the plan carried out last spring
of nominating . citizens ticket and ignorine

which Of these two courses to pursue. Party
fealty and the advancement of party inter-
ests dictate the former course. Republicans
feel their strength and being confident Of a

to support.
The foregoing appears in the Sioux Falls
Times Is q portion of . reply to IN article

similar purport have appeared in the Times
from time to time, which, being read by
people not familiar with the history of the

there is and ha. been ne Yankton ring and
there was never anything stolen. We hold
that no newspaper has the moral or legal
right to accuse persons of theft unless it be
true. 1t is the aci of an arrant coward to
make use of a mythical organization for thu
purpose of %insinuating that one, a few, or
perhaps all Of tlie'people Of Yankton have
been guilty of a heinous crime. If M.
Kimberly possessed the requisite amount Of

cotad be settled in ,he proper tribunal to
the entire satisfaction Of all concerned. The
sneak who stabs in the dark ls a more dan.
gerous public offender than the rogue who
openly defes Law and frtifes himselfagainst
