The Cuater Delegation.

Whatever may be said Of former dele
cations to state republican conventions
from Custer county, it now sSnds out
as a fact SO unmistakable and 1glaringly
apparent that one might easily hang
their hat upon it, that for tirel,t ~ energy
and indomitable ~persevering Effort, no
county delegation in the state has ever
surpassed, if equalled the inGefatigable
half score of delegates which represent
ed this county at the late convention at
Yankton. The work they accomplished
in the effort made to secure the nomina-
ton Of a Custer county man for railroad
commissioner, while it was not crowned
with success, was nevertheless, taking
into consideration the adverse cream
stances by which they were confronted,
one Of the most mastery and phenom-
email efforts ever made in the interest Of
a political candidate. When the facts
are considered that their candidate was
virtually unknown to all of the delegates
outside Of the Black Hills; that he APP
peared at a disadvantage in being,
unlike his competitor, unprovided with
suitable head quarters, and with barely
ten votes upon which they could safely
rely for his support, the matter of sccur-
ing for him a vote Of 295 cannot be con-
sidered otherwise than indicative Of the
most persistent and Indefatigable work
IN the part Of the delegation in his be
half. 1t is especially gratifying TO know
that Custer county was accorded her
full share Of recognition upon the floor
of the convention, and that in the i'm
portant part she took IN the delibera-
tions Of the convention much credit was
reflected upon her Representatives in
the able manner in which they present
ed the claims Of the ~varions candidates
whose interests they %espoused. The
address made by III ID. Reynolds, a well
known Custer attorney, in seconding
the nomination Of Hon W. V. Lucas for
congress, is conceded to have been one
Of the most forcible, earnest and i'm.
pressive speeches heard upon this oc-
%casion, and called for the highest COM
mendation from not only the popular
candidate in whose interest he spoke,
but from many other distinguished
gentlemen who supplemented their
ardent encomiums with a hearty snake
of his hand. Others of the delegation,
prominent among whom is w. q.
Porter, who is also a popular attorney
Of this city, delivered q telling speech in
the interest Of Custer county's candidate
for railroad commissioner which BE-
reason of its force and eioqnence held
the closest attention Of the convention.
1t is unnecessary to speak Of the part
performed by Thornby, his peculiar
ability in accomplishing all that is at
tainable with the limited means at hand
is SO well known as To render comment
unnecessary. The Chronicle is pleased
to accord the Custer county delegation
the credit they SO justly deserve lor
their heroic efforts in trying to accom-
plish the ends so earnestly desired by
those who named them for this party
service, and their efforts should, and
doubtless will be, as fully appreciated
as if smiling success instead Of frownine
defeat had perched upon their waving
banners.

Gradually te;own people and those
from afar arc being taught the redl
worth OF the Saeebrusb State. Wh.te
already having reputation ss ASH
YER producing region, Nevada is to-
day the first State in the union in va
riety and abundance OF minerals.
Its agricultural resources are eradu-
ally becoming known. Hay, grain
and potatoes were for a long period
supposed to be the only products
adapted to its soil, but facts warrant
the statement that every product
grown in the North Temperate Zone
thrives ia Nevada. The develop
ment Of these magnificent RESOURCES
is but question Of time. While to-
day the soil of its most fertile valleys
only is titled, each year will find more
:aagebrush replaced by waving fields
OF bay and grain. What Nevada's
sixty-four millions of acres o. land
can produce is greatly under esti-
mated.
What IL needed to hasten .he de-
velopmeDt OF these Talent resources?,
The reconciliation of silver would
no doubt serve more than anything
else To stimullte the mining industry.
The Legislature has offered induces
ments Tor the CONSTRUCTION of another
railroad through the State, which, il
built, would at once induce new era
OF prosperity. The construction Of
dams and reservoirs for the storage of
tire waters that now run to waste;
would cause the speedy development
OF the agricultural resources. Rec.
oGnizing these facts, it needs not a
prophet to tell that time of unprece-
dented prosperity for Nevada is close
at hand.-Student Record.
