j. g. WARNOCK, EDITOR.
The Pioneer Press is ungcperOus enough

The Pioneer Press is ungenerous enough
to detract from the fame of Wilbur +.
Storey, The late and greatest of w'stern
journalists, proprietor and former editor
OF the Chicago Times. While IN some
respects, perhaps in many, Mr.. Storey
was not a model newspaper man in a
moral view of the case, in many others he
was, as is evidenced by other papers, not
excepting the Pioneer Press, following IN
his footsteps. He reduced news gather
ing to 1 system and almost to science
aud surpassed all competitors in this de-
psrtment. The r. p. makes the remark
able statement, for journal Of It's scope
aad character, that Mr.. Storey chat no
notion of moulding or leading public op'n'
,ou,' IN which it seems to have forgotten
or purposely ignores the fact that Mr.
Storey was leader and moulder Of public
op,nion in favor Ut eniranchis,ng the col
ored man as q time when the lea was IN

,thosaSnds Of other papers proclsiming

that of any other man II the, union. When
both the republican and democratic par
ties wee rushing wildly into ruino"s
financial system of currency imitation IT
was Wilbur r. Storey who called ahalt
and stood like Gibralter IN the way to
stem the tide of fictitious values and wild
specu 'ation, warning the people OF the
crssh that would inevitably follow such
y disregard of the fundamental and
world established principles Il sound
tinance. He was the greatest moulder
and leader of public sentiment in the ma
ton upon these the two greatest questions
of national policy in h's time. While
Mr.. Storey himself was not the writer OF
much nor of the best OF the editorials OF
the Times on these subjects, he was the
general director of them and kept an ed
itorial staff that could present and elabo
rate his ideas better than he could 40
himself. That he should live to see his
views on the former question enrrafteu
IN the constitution and on the latter adop.
ted as the financial policy of tho nation,
considering the prominent part anti lead
crship he took in their advocacy, is glory
enough for one man and for one life, end
entities the name of Wilbur +. Story to
immortality among those OF the great
men of his country and time.

election returns as they come In disjoint

ten million ties cast yesterday and this

How The Major Views The Situatio D.

As many anticipated, the true men OF
Stutsman county assembled at jamestown
Tuesday evening, repudisted without
dissenting voice the action of the Capital
in attempting to "bolt" a portion of the
ticket, which its editor helped to nomi
nate by being delegate to the conyeu-
ton on a proxy from Rolette county.
Never befo was there such a complete
"se,,ink down" upon the smirklng an
pel,c Burke as he received on that occas-
ION. Judge Nickeus, true to the instincts
OF manhood within him, was equal to the
occasion, and iu manly speech endorsed
the entire ticket repud,ating the action
of those attempting to betrsy him snai

It Was all Buster.

After all the blow and bIuster Of the
Evening Bolter not q single specific
charge has been made against Sheriff Nc
Kechnie nor has any proof of the general
charges been offered Their strength Ill
lies in the veracity of Mr.. Burke, and IN
view Of his dealing with the candidates
and with the public this campaign We sp-
prehend his assertions will be taken with
= great deal of allowance. He imposed a
falsehood upon the people by giving out
the impression that a "people's conven.
ton" had been held, and purp ,sely neg
lected and refused to correct ths false i'm.
preston and information when his atten-
lion was called to it by the Alert. In
view Of the various ways IN which he has
willfully and knowingly misled and de-
celved the public through his paper wnat
weight can he expect the people to attach
to his unsupported charges against Nc
Kcchnie or Mr.. Steele, aud what reliance
can they put in what he may have said
in favor of any candidate? He tosk part
in the legislative convention as dele
gate by proxy and then bolted the nomi.
nation of one of its candidates. He was
the first to call for republican county
convention and when it was called aud
held he bolted the ticket. He has blus.
tered through the campaign seemingly
with the one purpose of venting his own
personal i'll feeling toward Mr. Steele and
McKechnle.

A Compliment to Col. W. F. Steele.

A Compliment to Col. W. +. Steele.
Having known W. F. Steele for the
prst three years, and before there was
town where the city Of Steele now stands
and having had large dealings with him
during the time above mentioned, deem
it duty owe to him, to say TO the pub
lie that haye as yet to hnd any d,shon-
esty or trickery whatever in our dealings.
AS for his ability to represent this district
in the legislature no person who knows
HIM will question. I honestly endorse
such man as l,know him to be to the
voters Of this district for their sutirsges
l have seen the charge of dishonesty
ETC. contained IN the jamestown DAILY
Capital against him and as q citizen OF
Steele, deem 1t duty owe to him ss
to the voters of Kldder and Stutsman
counties, to make this statement In his
behalf, believing the charge to be false
and only for the purpose Of serving self
lsh and unscrupulous ends.
I believe am only speaking the SEN
timent of the people Of this community in
making the above statement and defy the
jamestown Daily Capital or its clique to
nroduce single citizen of the city Of
Stee'e or its vicinity, but who will concur
in the above.
