Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1880-10-02

The work of yesterdays convention
when viewed in the light of highest
public need, is full Of cause for congrat-
ulation to all patriotic citizens as well
as to republicans. The ticket is strong,
not only in the personal popularity and
prestige of those upon it, but in names,
each of which is a guaranty of party
feal+y~and public honesty-ioyalty to
party in that high sense witteh forhiAs
bringing the party into reproach by any
wrong in office public honesty which
deters from gaining even influence and
power at the public cost. All are men
Identified with the country from its
earliest settlement, and who have es-
tablished regulations which they will
not sacrifice for paltry gain.
The above is from the Times, of the
10Th, noted for its loyal (l qualities
and published by +. Warner, who, of
course, is one Of the men it is intended
to ~eulogise. And as a guaranty of that
public honesty--loyalty to party in that
high sense, etc." we would mention
the fact that =. Warner secured his
nomination as representative with
proxies, given him by delegates from
Custer county with the ind ~erstandinc
that they were to be used in the inter
ests of some one of this county. All Of
which We suppose is on account of that
loyalty in that high sense" and caused
Custer to be left in the cold.

RING POLITICS.

The result Of the district convention
held on September 25, at Deadwood has
not met with that cordial support that
was anticipated by the Lawrence county
ring managers. The general impression
among republicans, SO far as can be as
certained. is that the voters Of Custer
county were about like a flock of sheep,
that knew no other policy than to fol-
low the lead Of whoever might strike
out a new course, regardless OF what
might be the final outcome. Unfortun-
ately for the success OF the republican
Legislative ticket, the republican voters
of this county happen 10 have skins that
are not entirely impervious to the slings
and arrows Of outrageous fortune, and
the cut direct received at the hands of
the Lawrence county blowers and strik-
ers has reached the quick. They are Of
the universal opinion their just claims
have been totally ignored in II shame
full manner and do not propose to tame
ly submit to the outrage. There are
about 800 or upwards Of votes in the
county, a majority Of which are in
clined towards republican principles,
but when they happen to allow their
probocis to penetrate political affairs
they are quite as capable of feeling a
sound blow on the end of it as any other
similar number of men that can be
found between California and Maine.
The legislati We ticket was made up Of
five representatives and two council
men. Lawrence county holds the great
ceeds. Judging the comparative de-
mands of each county by the number of
delegates Il the convention and Custer
county will appear to BE undoubtedly
entitled to at least n member of the
lower house (all that was pretended to
be asked, yet even this modest de-
mand was refused and that not in al
open an fair oppositions, but under tho
cloak of fair pretensions and false
promises. The fact is that the delegate.
of Custer county were slaughtered in
the house of their ostensibie friends
The only question that seems to be lief
for the republican voters of Custer coun
ty is this: Shall they submit and there
by acknowledge themselves the cattl,
that they have been taken for, or sha!
they rise up in their righteous indigna
ton and throw back the insult into tn
teeth of the false friends who have be
trayed them. But little consideration
is necessary to see which course the,
will pursue. Pennington county has, ST
far as can be learned, stood manfull,
by her sister of the Southern Hills ant
for that reason her nominees need have
no fear of a cordial endorsement anon.
the republicans of Custer county, bu
the balance of the legislative ticket hav,
got IA lesson To learn which il is TO b,
hoped that they may profit by, and tina
is that n weak power may be troddel
upon until it will turn upon the foo
that brushes it with most disastrous Of
feet. ~. REPUBLICAN,.

lfthere is any degree of har mony in
the democratic district convention 10 be
held at Rockford, and Custer is given a
representative, the ticket will carry
Custer county solid. Republicans as
we'll as democrats, will vote for the re-
representatives. and councilmen nominal
ed at the convention.
