shoulders would the mantle Of council
man from Pennington county fall One
by one the qualifications of the aspirants
were carried over, and finally choice de-
scended on James Haley of this city,
cashier of the First National bank. Mr..
HALEY was once mayor of Rapid City,
and was once defeated by democrat in
the race for county treasurer.
For the lower house there are many
applicants. DR.. Stewart, OF Fall River
county, vents to DO reelected. Prof
W. G. Bower, late superintendent of
Custer county has had up rod for some
months, and is huslling around after ey-

Patton, but there is some doubt OF their
success. Hon. John Wolzmouth, the
other Lawrence county member in the
last legislature, will have to go in favor
