do we owe to Martin Maginnis? What

been answered.
Now let US ask, what do we owe to
the republican party? What do we
owe to Thos. H. Carter? Listen. I'm.
der democratic rule 1t took three long
years to establish a postofIlce at Mud
dy. One petition, q letter and one
months time established a ~pcstofice
at Hockett's with Mr.. Carter In Wash
ington. Under Mr.. Carriers adminis-
tration the Rosebud weekly mail ser.
vice has been increased to tri-weekly;
the rancher mail route-discontinued
under democratic rule-revived; an
extension made of the route from
Powde rville to Ekalaka and thence to
Ericsson and \ postoffice established
III the latter place; the Pumpkin creek
route extended to franklin with q
still further extension TO Moreland
now pending and the establishment of
q postofhce ut the latter place.
These sre u few Of the tangible every
day benefits that the republican party
has wrought In Custer county in less
than two years. Not what 1t is going
TO do but what II has done. And this
is nos all. Seven years ago the resi-
dents Of the Little Missouri valley IN
the southeastern part Of the county,
began to send 10 petitions to the dem.
surveyor generals OF the terri.
tory, praying that their lands, on
which they had settled and made val.
liable improvements. might be sur.
Yearly these petitions were
sent In, conforming 10 all respects to
the law governing ,uch applications,
but without avail. Not only were
the surveys denied but the respectful
requests absolutely ignored; not even
simple sck nowlede ment of them be-
Ing vouchsafed. Now what has been

sases to be q virtue, we will britf fly
al attention TO the efforts made by Z.
Ir. Carter for the removal of these

an appropriation tor that purpose,
'hich will be available az sool as c,n-
ress adiourns. Mr.. Carter took the .

Don't the Cheyenne agency by per-
nal observation during q trip made
