is so strongly republican that demo-
cratic success is impossible should con-
slider it necessary to attack Mr.. 1Iar
den, the democratic candidate for del
egate, so viclously. He is even abused
because his wife chooses to assist him
in his farm work. 1t is rot probable
that Mr.. Harden came to Dakota for
the purpose of climbing into congress
as farmer on the democratic ticket,
and vet that is the inference to be
drawn from RAINY newspaper articles.
Rapd City Journal. -Rep.)
Some staunch republicans have taken
us to task for our notice OF Mr.. Har-
den in last weeks HERALD. Consls-
tency is quite virtue. These very
same republicans are, and have been
ever since we first knew them, support
ing well known and pronounced demo-
Gratis and others who add to the "crime'
OF being a democrat that OF hypocrisy,
and sail under false c0lnrs in order TO
gain popularity and influence. There
is an old saying about the mote and
beam that might be appropriate right
here.
Sheriff Spears dishonest? He thought
he owed the county something (but
Loomiss records did not show >, and
Offered to pay the board eN a more
than it really was (not remembering
the exact amount.) The board would
not accept it, 50 he rendered the mon
ey to Treasurer Wallace and now holds
his receipt for the same. Sheriff Spears
dlshonest!! The True? Republican
might as we'll try to make the people
believe that the Sheriff killed his
grandmother or ran away with the
hired girl, or any other outrageous aD-
surdity as to try to make them believe
that he ever knowingly and dishonest
" retained a cent that belonged to the
county. 1t is just some of l5ubby Bios
ser's bought-up blow and bombast.

o,sly handled last evening by DR.. Net

A fair audience gathered to listen tc
the entertaining speakers advanced
views upon this subject. DR.. Hall Is
without exception the best OF the sev'
eral ladies who have delivered lectures
before a Rapid City audience. Though
her voice is not strong, it is clear, anC
her every word was distinctly hearu
at the farther end OF the building
She proved herself to be entirely la'nll'
lar With the phase of the Temperance
subject upon which she has CHOSEN u
sneak. Her argument is logical an'
veil sustained by the results or sclth
tjGc research. Her lecture is one tha'
appeals strongly to common sense.
