The Rurdlist is the accepted mouth

paper has favored fusion with the
democrats, aud Il dark lantern con-

show how the independents love the
democrats, we print below Il few ex-
cerpts from the last issue Of the
Ruulia, which we ask our demo-
cratic friends to read, and If they
have the courage to affiliate with
such Il party, we will be disappoint-
ed in the independence of demo-
cratic voters:
A vote for Harrison of Cleveland

TO Voters.

Voters, amt you tired of po!iti-
clans and politics generally? You
have been advised against support
ing this, that and the other man for
Office, and they tell you what "A
splendid ticket has been placed in
the field, u independent county
ticket especially. A most glorious
victory was achieved when at the
Richland convention through adj
vice of the bosses Col. Miller and
Garduer was weeded out. They
charged Col. Miller with being IA
democrat, and Gardner was once Il
republican and has refused to bow
and nod at the beck of the bosses.
He Influenced the board to cut down
on some extortiona!e bills of the
bosses; this was the beginning OF re-
form At the wrong end; it would
never do to allow that MAJ second
term, the losses could not feather
their nest while Gardner was clerk
of the board. They had hoped to
bring Il charge of incompetency
against him and have him elected
from Office by the court, but Il year
and a halls close watching failed to
furnish any grounds upon which to
base the charge. So the bosses held
a midnight meeting in Murplley's
tin shop the night before the on
vention and ]concocted their scheme
which worked like Il charm next
day. but our Australian election
law, made by our farmer Legislators
in 1891, provides for the nominal
tons of candidates ON principles as
well MS by the dictation Of party
bosses III political conventions. 1t
is upon these principles that Mr..
Gardnerasks the tax payers ofuiion
county, regardless OF political a~ifiiia-
tons, to support him on election
day.
The following is a copy Of Mr..
Gardner's certificate of nominations:
To THE COUNTY AUDITOR OF UNION CoUN-
Ty. SouTH DAKorA:
We. the undersigned electors of Union county.
South Dakota. and residing therein. do hereby
make aud sign this certificate OF nomination
hereby nominating The following named person
for the following county office OF said county 10
be voted for at the next ensuing election he'd
therein to Wit, on Tuesday November th. 1892.
and further certify that the Principle which we
represent. and which our candidate represents,
Is Economy la County Government Iis.
For County Auditor--Henry Gardner, whose
residence Is Elk Point. South Dakota, and
whose business address is Elk Point, Union
county. South Dakota.
This certificate is signed by farmers and bus
mess men OF all political parties.
Mr.. Gardner says he is convinced
that public economy will never he
practiced very much SO long as Of
ticers receive their nomination and
election by a political party, because
they must comply with the de-
mands of the bosses Of that party
whether these demands are right or
wrong, and the officer who dares to
oppose the dictates Of his party
bosses will lie blacklisted rs his case
plainly proves. While if an officer
nominated and elected by the peo-
pie for a purpose, or OF a principle,
he is free from political affiliations
and will carry out the principle
upon which, he was elected.
Now, tax payers, give this matter
your careful consideration and use
your own judgement when you pre-.
pare your ticket.
HENRY GARDNER.

'.Ch, what a DiTerence!',

The Democrats in the south are de-
slaiming loudly and bitterly against
those members Of the party who are
going over to the Farmers Alliance
or who contemplate a fusion ticket.
They are called traitors or cranks or
soreheads, and they are told that no
good Democrat has u right to have any
dealings with such a concern. But how
different 10 the strain Of Democratic
eloquence in the west on this subject!
In Kansas and Nebraska it is held that
it is the duty of all good Democrats to
join hands with the Peoples party and
help them along.

Mr.. Charles f. Peck, commissioner Of
labor statistics in the state of New York,
has published a report which seems to
be causing Il considerable political dis
turbance. According to Brother Peck,
under the Mckinley tariff wages have
increased. strikes have been fewer and
prosperity prevails more than ever be-
fore among the wage earning people.
Whether Mr.. feck's conclusions are true
or not we are unable o say, but we trust
they are true. We like to see every
thing improving and happiness on tho
