CUSTER CITY, Oct. LIST, 1894.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Wlii you kindly
permit me, through the columns of your
paper, to correct a couple of editorial
sqGibs which occurred in the Leader Of
last week.
LIST, Wherein | am quoted as saying
in convention, If The democratic party
does lot adopt the reforms which are
demanded by the masses of the people
they will have TO give way TO some par
~ that will
Now, this cut off, and cut out from the
rest Of my remarks on that occasion, is
apt to mislead some who do not know
me and are not familiar with my senti
ments. The reporter who heard me,
must have known that | did not refer
TO ali the changes which the popuiists
seek to bring about under the naine
of reforms; sUGll rs the government
ownership Of railroads, telegraphs, tele-
phone lines, su1-treasury scheme, fiat
money. etc. | did not mention these,
but | had reference to the income tax,
free coinage OF silver, and perhaps other
reforms which in the changes of tine
might come up for consideration, and L
said SO. | said also, that | believed thai
the democratic party would wisely cor
slider and adopt any changes in the man
agement of governmental affairs which
were found beneficial to the masses, and
which were demanded by the people.
| stand by this because | claim that the
democratic party is the party of the
people, and "A party of progress, and
alive TO the best interests Of the nation.
Another squib IN the same issue Of
the Leader quotes MIR. Tunley as saying,
This is probably the largest delegation
OF democrats that will be got together
again in the county"
Mr.. Tunley said something Of this
kind, but his remarks were not directed
TO the convention, but to the central
committee, recommending them to elect
their chairman before leaving the hall,
as il might be difficult TO get SC many
together again on account of the mem
bers being so widely scattered over the
county.
1t seems to me, that if the Leader
wished to be strictly fair, it would have
given the language used, its proper on
nection and application, unless he con-
siders everything fair in politics, AS ii is
said to be in love and war.

The Times some time since made
mention Of the fact that F. Il Evans
contemplated the construction at Hot
Springs of another large hotel building
on the hill near his old residence. His
idea was to construct a building two
stories in height, the lower OF stone and
upper frame, of from 600 to 800 guest
rooms. and to be used only in sunmer
during tourists and visitors season.
Mr.. Evans has been during the past
two weeks in Colorado and other points,
where buildings Of this character are in
use, and upon his return to the Springs,
which is daily expected, will it is be.
lieved commence work uron the build.
ing SO as to have it ready for occupancy
next season. The good hotels of the
Springs last year were far from equal to
the case, and were compelled to turn
away hundreds of people who desired
accommodations. It Is also rumored
that the Gillespie will be enlarged in
anticipation of increased business next
year over last.-Deadwood Times.

B. NJ. Tunley returned from Hot
Springs on Thursday morning, where
he was in attendance upon the demo-
cratic senatorial convention on Wednes-
day. Ben was the special champion OF
the interests Of our popular fellow
townsman, DR.. Oliver Fisher, whose
nomination for the state senate he WAS
successful in accomplishing. The doctor
is probably the strongest candidate that
could have been named by the party
for this position, and during nj extend
ed acquaintance with him, the only fault
discovered in his makeup il his pro-
nounced political predictions.
