Mr.. Reed, Rapid City, S. D.-DEAR
S1R.-Tomorrow night 1 presume Mr..
Schilling will commence work in the
Hills. am satisfied that hels likely to
do us good there. Wish we might have
sent you Kyle, or Post or Price, but we
could not get over the ground here with
them IN the time allowed for the cam
paign. l write to ask you through your
paper to warn the people against the
telegraphic lies which the republican
dailies are pretty sure to publish about
election day. 1t is their whole stock in
trade this fall They have already
shown their hand and are pretty likely
to report tLat Smith is dead or has
withdrawn, on election morning Their
villiany is bottomless. Please see that
the other independent papers OF the
Hills contain a similar. warning in their
last issue. The skies are Frightening
and we are making large guins. I shall be
greatly disappointed if we donot win by
ahandsome plurality. Sorry that Mayor
Woods can not see that he is simply a
tool in the hands OF democratic boodiers
and the Republican Central Committee.
Yours Fraternally,
r. B. HAssELL.

munication because congressman Pick

When on a late occasion one Of the
principal figures in Wall street, said to
be trembling and tottering on the edge
of the grave, turned back from such
place to snatch the bread out of the
mouths Of tens of thousands of women
and children and to wreck property to
the value Of nearly hundred millions al
one fell swoop, the Alliance took note of
that fact and is going to demand that
such power shall not be suffered to be
lodged il private hands. Let the Rus
sian despot attempt the like in his capi-
tai, and before the sun goes down on the
deed bis carcass will be flung to the
dogs, bis palace will be blown to atoms
and his government utterly rooted up
and annihilated. That which the czar
well knows it would be more than his
life was worth to attempt in despotic
Russia, Jay Gould does in free America
without suspicion of hindrance or
vengeance. Is law unable to cope with
such plundering of the portion of the
widow and the inheritance of the orphan:
Let the doings of these stock boards and
all who offer their securities to the pub
lie through them be subjected to the
strictesr legal supervision, and let Grim
inals who evade or defy the law be made
to feel the vengeance of the law, swift
and sure. M. A. ELLzEY, NJ. d.
