The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1894-05-18

Delng whether Inc present prlnClpal,
Prof. Narney can run a newspaper and
superintend the school as we'll If Bro
Varney has to give up either school or
paper we would advise him TO hold on to
the latter. for although there may not be
so much money ia 1t there is a great
deal more fun.
The many hearty Endorsements receiv-
by John Lockhart, whose name has been
mentioned as a candidate for The republi-
can nomination on the state ticket for
commissioner of school and public lands,
has induced "Jack" to let his friends
take his case before the convention,
where they ieel confident they can make
hlm the republican nominee tor the OF
flee in question. The republicans of the
northeastern part of the state have here
tofore been very modest in their demands
u"on state conventions, and it is gen
eraly conceded that from a geographical
standpoint they are entitled to a fair
hearing and considera.e treatment. Mr..
Lockhart is one Of the early settlers in
the county has always taken an active IN
terest in public matters, and is eminently
qualified to fill the office of commissioner
with ability and good judgment. He is
quite generally known throughout the
state, and at home has a host of loyal
friends who will give him an earnest
support He is at present clerk Of courts
Of the county, an Office to which he has
been repeatedly elected by his fellow
citizens. who will be more than pleased
TO see him placed in the more responsi
bic position Of a state cffice. From num-
Der of very favorable newspaper notices
Of Mr.. Lockhart's candidacy we clip the
following:
Alexandria Herald: Jack Lockhart Of
Mllbank, is forging rapidly 10 the front
as d candidate tor commissioner of school
and public lands. Lockhart is an able
man and would fill the position admir-
ably.
Henry Independents: Jack Lockhart,
of Milbank, an old war horse in the re
publican party, and well and favorably
known through the state is q candidate 9
for commissioner Of school and public
lands. 1t would seem as though old
Codington coanty might do something
for lack as matter of reciprocity and
Ill consideration OF past favors.
Watertown Public Opinion: slack
Lockhart one of the "Whi,est boys" in
the state, has been an avowed candidate
/ no nf ct Sf.hn
aud public lands for some time Whelh-
er he wins or looses, he will command
the respect OF his friends throughout the
state. We always know where to find
.'Jack"-and that is with his friends and
on the side which he considers right, ac-
cording 10 his best judgment.
The combination of Doc Fish's Great
West and the Aberdeen Star, was not a
very long lived affair, and was brought
to close a few weeks ago by removal OF
the Fish part tc Redfeld. Speaking OF
this the Star says:
We wish now only to say that Doc.
Fish was dismissed from the Star for good
reasons after lie had exhausted the pa

concern. The doctor was not only .per-
mltted to GO as he says, but told that he
must CO.. Everything that he brought
to The STR office was turned over to him,
and good deal more. The action taken
by the board was a necessity to save the
Star from moral, political and financial
wreck. That it survives after two
months OF the doctors mismnagement
is proof Of its staying qualities.
Our populist friends need not fear any
newspaper war on our part. We are too
happy to be rid Ut the mountebank to
have any wrangle. II he wishes to quar-
rel he must look elsewhere But before
We close we wish to publicly appologise to
Ignatius Donnelly for taking any part in
the Minnesota quarrels Out of sympa-
thy we took the part Of the under dog
without proper investigation. We now
believe that Mr.. Donneily's course was
pei tectly justifiable.
