Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1892-10-08
OUR CANDIDATES..

In the weeks that have elapsed since
the holding of the Custer county repub-
lican convention, we did not have at
our disposal, either the time or the
space, which we wished to devote 10
mention Of each Of the nominees Of that
convention, and we gladly avail our
selves Of the opportunity which is pre-
sented this week. 1t is our good fortune
TO be called upon to pass comment on a
number of men, representing all the
varied interests Of the county, men OF
ability, men of education, men of excel
lent standing in the communities in
which they live, and last but not least,
men who are republicans, OF the true
blue, dyed in the wool character.
J. C. BOWER,
nominee for member of the lower house
of the next legislature, is one of the
solid citizens of Custer county, we'll
known and we'll liked. Mr. Bower be-
came resident of the territory of Da-
kota more than twenty years ago, and
has lived in the Hills six or eight years,
He Isl typical western man whose knowl
edge of the needs of a young and growing
country comes of experience and obser-
vation. He has been life long repub-
lican, is ready speaker. and has the
energy and force which go so far toward
qualifying man for such a position.
He will, when sent to Pierre. look after
the interests Of his county and state
with jealous care, and will make a rep
resentative Of whom his constituency
may justly feel proud.
A. NJ. WILLARD.
Capt. Willard, as our nominee for
sheriff is familiarly known. is one Of the
Black Hills pioneers. In the early days
he filed the Office of deputy sheriff in
the northern Hills, and practically did
| the business Of the office himself He
won a reputation as man fearless
and unshrinking when duty called. and
an able ereserver of the public peace.
A loyal republican, good citizen, in
every way qualified to fill the Office for
which he has been nominated, there is
no man on the ticket more deserving Il
his party's solid support than Capt. A..
M. Willard.
). IF. STREET.
No need to introduce to any old resi-
dent of Custer county, that prince of all
good fellows, and steady man of business,
John +. Street, once more nominated
by the republicans Of Custer county, for
the responsible position of treasurer.
His unanimous selection, and the hearty
congratulations that followed il are
sufficient testimony Of the esteem in
which he is held by those who haye
long known and trusted him. Some
thing less than three years ago. he was
appointed treasurer Of Custer county.
He assumed the duties Of the Office i'm
mediateIy after, and until the term had
expired he performed them personally
While still in the Office, in the fall oi
1890, he was nominated for treasurer ia
the republican convention, and would
have been easily elected had 1t not been
for one Of the most infamous campaign
lies ever sprung. which was put In cir
culation on the eve Of election. Ths
scheme had the desired effect. and Mr.
Street was beaten by thirteen votes
But the people who were 80 cunningl,
duped by the now notorious Holder
circular have not forgotten and will ex
press their sentiments when the oppor
tuniiy presents itself next month.
