The most colossal aggregation of mon
umental gall showed up in the Oelrichs
Advocate of last week, wherein APP
pears the following: "Immediately af-
ter the election last fall the Advocate
suggested his name CDR. A. s. stcwart)
for that position Congressman 1t
is we'll known fact that Jones was
violent opponent to DR.. Stewart all
through the campaign. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Notwithstanding his
professed republicanism he did his ut
most to defeat DIR. Stewart the regular
republican nominee, at the polls. Jones
never mentioned tho name of DR.. Stew
art after the election except with
sneer. Recently and with a jerk Jones
conceives violent affection for DR..
Stewart and endeavors to make him
and his friends think that DR.. Stewart
neAer had SO earnest a champion as he
has been. Evidently he concludes
that others like himself have short
memories. The animus of this recent
conversion of Jones is that he wants
to 80 to the legislature himself this fall
he wanted to go last fall but there
was a serious impediment to his reach
ing the goal of his ambition and that
was the state constitution-he hadn'.
lived here long enough. He has lived
here longer now and he wants to go
to the legislature worse than ever. He
is born legislator-in his mind. He
now wants the republican party to get
together. More gall. The republicans
are together. Jones is the fellow that is
separated. The STAR candidly thinks
it would be a good scheme for Jones.t to
get together. The STAR hasn't any
getting together to d.. The republi-
cans of Fall River county have no get
ting together to do. Does Jones re-
member how he worked against Mr..
Hanna, his own townsman last fall be-
cause he did not want Oelrichs to have
the house member from this county as
that would he used against him tais
fall? Oh no!Jones' memory failed him
on that noint. If Jones ever convinces
the people of this county that he is a
republican lie will have to do a consid-
cradle getting together.
II the Hon. A. S. Stewart, member
of the senate from this district had
stopped his work in the legislature af-
ter having accomplished two things,
which manly through his efforts were
accomplished, it could we'll he said
We'll done, thou good and faithful
servant" and he would then have been
entitled to the everlasting gratitude Of
Fall River county. But he did moi
cease work at that point but has beer
continually an assiduous laborer il
behalf Of his constituents. Generall,
of his work we have not room t.
speak; but of the two things referred
to above we shalt make brief mention
Through his efforts the senate commit
tee on appropriations reported favora
bly, on $4,000 for the soldiers home
The house committee reported $4,000
BY skillful management Mr.. Stewar
succeeded in getting this raised t
$l0,5O0, at which figure it finall
passed. For this Hot Springs is par
ticularly grateful. The second act ii
this legislative drama in which all 0
Fall River county was in an extrcm
degree interested, was the defeat of
bill which authorized and compelled
county cut off or segregated from an
other county to pay the debt of tina
county from which the segregatio,
was made. Very likely the bill woul
have been pronounced demonstrations
in the courts, as it only applied to Fal
. River and Custer counties. THIS bl
had passed the house and come to til
y senate. This placed DR.. Stewart in a
unenviable position. He was electe
from the district composed of Custe
and Fall River counties, and these tw
counties were the only two that woul
be affected by the operations Of til
bill after it became alaw. It was ne,
essary for him to act where there wa
clash in the interests of his constitr
ents. Both sides believed they were
the right. DIR. Stewards decision W;
favorable to Fall River county, and l
!. acted upon that decision and won. III
bill was killed in the senate. In tn
decision he is backed by the decision
the court of this district, and viii
some of Custer county's people may
disposed to criticise him, yet the srl
believes he acted in the right. The T.
suit as we have seen was favorable
Fall River county, and for this wol
the people of this county are deeply o
ligated to DR.. Stewart. The STAR hi
