now when the STAR calls that

Der of the G. A. R., feels that we
did the post an injustice by the
manner in which an allusion was

he says the tact is that Maj. An.

The Rapid City Journal in al
luding to Levi McGee's casting
aside the populists and deciding to
run as a democrat says: "His
electing to make the race on the
democratic ticket is a surprise to
his independent friends and one
they can hardly be induced to ac-
cept without a murmur. He has
been known to be a democrat
while with the democrats-and an
ardent independent while asso-
ciated with members of that party.
While a resident of Iowa he was
found advocating greenbacks for
all they were worth, and since
being engaged in politics in Pen
nington county has been anything
to secure the votes and the money
in the office, not caring whether it
was gold, silver or greenbacks.
y 1t will be an easy matter
Tor the voters to decice which can.
didate can be trusted under all
circumstances on the bench. 1t is
safe to predict that if a candidate
is false to his party during a cam

people should he be elected to the
iudgeship."

By the action Of congress in the
repeal of the silver purchasing
clause the United States is merely
experimenting on the financial
question now. There are a great
many who have told US that If the
purchasing clause we're repealed
we would Immediately observe an
improvement in the general bust.
ness situation. Then on the other
hand there seems to be a great
many who believe that this pur-
chasing clause should not have
been repealed until something in
its place was offered in the inter.
est of silver. The purchasing
clause has been repealed, and
nothing done for silver. If, there
fore, business Immediately revives
and money at once "loosens up"
and ~circulates freely in its proper
channels, the country will doubt
less applaud the wisdom of the
repeal men, while if there is no
perceptible change in business and
the circulation of money by the
time congress is convened in regu-
lar session, it may be confidently
expected that the country will in
sist even stronger than ever in a
more favorable recognition of
silver. The west is undoubtedly
favorable to, and will insist upon,
the use of both silver and gold as

THE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign of 1898 is
drawing to a close, and there will
probably not be a sigh of regret when
it ends, excepting perhaps by those
who must meet defeat. The campaign
made by the republican party has
been clean, fair and honorable in every
respect. There can be little doubt Of
the success of this party, providing the
republicans do their duty and 20 to
the polls. The old supreme court has
been fair, impartial and able in all
its proceedings, and merits reelection.
Let Fail River county republicans do
their full duty toward this able and
distinguished bench.
So far as the campaign in this coun.
ty is concerned the anti-Gardner
element has resorted to desperate
methods to defeat that brilliant and
bard. working young judge. From
the moment the delegates of the county
gathered at the court house TO select
delegates to the district convention,
and it was apparent that the delegates
from the country precincts ont-num-
bsred the anti.Gardner delegates, the
Anderson, Jennings, Wilson, ct al.
combination has violently bol.ed the
republican party, and through their
back-alley publication have referred to
tins republican convention and its re.
publican delegates, and all who have
expressed any opinion favorable to the
regular republican nominee for cir
cult judge. as "the gang" and other
villifytng epithets. Their conduct has
been cowardly in the extreme, filling
their paper almost entirely for weeks
with faIsehood and the pusillanimous
vaporings of a braggart, still attempt.
ing to shield their identity behind de.
ceptive nom de plumes. Such has
been the campaign Of the a%nti.t4ardner
faction from the very moment that
they found themselves outnumbered
by the honest ranchers from the coup.
try precincts, who carried ont the
wishes Of the people lwho elected them
delegates.
The STAR feels that it has hut dore
its duty to the people, and the party
whose principles are of paramount
interest. We are proud of the fact
that the whole campaign in the inte,.
est of Judge Gardner's election has
been fair. manly and honorable.
Judge Gardner we'll merits the sup.
port of every true republican, and of
all who desire to continue an able,
fair and thoroughly qualified Judge.
