The Leader, in its silly and senseless
vaporings concerning what he is pleased
to term republican misrule in Custer
county, is not only sickening and dis
gusting in his overdrawn and highly
exaggerated statements, but is also
paradoxical in that he claims TO have
taken his purported facts from the rec
ords, the most damaging Of which is
only contained in part of the records
which he claims to be missing. Now,
would it not be in order for him to rise
and explain to his scattering readers,
how he succeeded in the seemingly i'm
possible task of making extracts from
record which was not in existence.
The Leader should cease commenting
upon a matter he knows so little about,
until he has acquired sufficient knowl.
edge Of the situation, and ability to
present 1t in a manner that would at
least warrant perusal on the part Of
the intelligent reader without other
effect than amusement, and an irresist.
ible inclination to indulge in the audible
exercise Of the risible nerves.

CITY, DAKOTA, SATURDAY, 90 1894

Capt. willard, the highly efficient
sheriff of Custer county, who has been
wisely chosen for reelection by his
party. has been visiting a number ofthe
valley precincts during the week, where
his economical and in all respects ex-
cellent official record fully warrants the
hearty support of the tax paying voters.
The CHRosIcLE gave Mr.. Willard its
ardent support for the office in 1882,
and now fully realizes the wisdom OF its
course in so doing, as We do not hesitate
TO say that his administration has been
one Of the most economical. painstaking
and satisfactory in the history OF the
county, and We are pleased to note that
there is every reason to believe that q
proof of the public appreciation Of this
fact, will be clearly shown in the large
majority he will receive at the polls on
Noy. 9th.

made while il power to the credit and

would return here and do all in their
power to turn that party down so low
that it would never again cut any figure

We want no more pops in the Z. s.
senate. We have tried the experiment,
and have found to our deep dissatisfac
tion and disgust that it is not the kind
Of representation that is most beneficial
to the states best interests. The record
Of Kyle shows that his efforts have been
mainly directed to the advocacy OF
measures plainly inimical to the inter
ests Of the people Of this state, and a
strong effort should be made by republi.
cans TO prevent the election ofanother
pop to the senate. This fearful result
may only be avoided by the undivided
support Of the republican legislative
ticket, by republicans, at the polls on
Nov. 9Th. Do not lose sight of this i'm
portant fact when you enter the election
booth,

The average annual tax levy of the
territory of Dakota for the nine years
preceding statehood was $50 mills,
while the average levy since statehood
has been 2.94 mills. This reduction,
says an exchange. has been saved to the
people OF South Dakota since statehood
government was attained, aud notwith-
standing the fact that the total sssess-
ment has been reduced $4,000. 900.
Such is the record that has been made
by republican state government. This
pleasing fact 10 commended to the
thonghsful consideration Of ranting pops
who are painting the air blue with their
frensied but ill-advised allegations Of
republican misrule In this state.

Hon. r. ]. Gamble, the popular re-
publican candidate for congress, has
been making able speeches in . number
of the towns of the Hills during the
present week with telling effect. He is
an eloquent, impressive and forcible
speaker, and is greeted by large and at
tentive audiences upon all occasions.
His description of the plans and pur-
poses Of the populists. or office seeking
party, is full, fair and complete, and is
causing the scales to drop from many
eyes that haye hitherto been blinded by
the garbled and perverse statements Of
popalist party leaders.

Our fellow townsman, A. T. Fesy, re-
publican candidate for clerk OF courts,
than whom there is not man in Custer
county better qualified for the position,
is making a very quiet campaign. which
is quite in keeping with his natural
disposition, which more urgently
prompts him to work in the interests al
others than himself In the matter Of
his nomination, it might practically be
said that the rule in such cases was re.
yersed, and the Office sought the man,
and taking into consideration his sur
passing fitness for the position, v hich is
universally conceded, and his genial
and accommodating disposition. it is
entirely safe to conclude that he would
be elected, even il he should canvas the
the county in the interest Of his oppo-
nent.

Hon. Robert T. Sedan is a popniar
farmer residing near st. Lawrence, who
figured as leading populist in the last
session of our state legislature, being the
acknowledged leader of that waning
party in Hand county. He has recently
become disgusted with populism and
populists, and now indicates returning
reason by uniting with the republicans,
and is stumping that part Of the
state in the interest of the republican
ticket. and is doing much in the direc-
ton of winning back old republicans
from the ranks Of the pops to the time
honored republican fold. The fact is
becoming more apparent, that the pops

The Leader man visited the celebrated
Wind Cave last week, and in his labor
ed write up of the pre-eminently grand
and beautiful subteranian cavern, he
describes its grandeur and magnifcsnce
as being perfectly appalling 1t would
be difficult to imagine how such scene
of grandeur and magni6cence as he
describes should SO impress the be-
holder with fear or dismay, and we
would suggest that, in view ofpreserving
the reputation Of that popular master
piece of natures handiwork, that he
re-write the same, substituting q term
more in harmony with the scene pre-
sented than the one chosen, which he
will find by consulting lexicon, to
have meaning directly opposite to that
which he evidently desired to convey.
II would be better to 'demolish three
standard dictionaries" as he foolishly
accuses Us Of doing than to mislead the
people through ignorance of the terms
used in describing the greatest natural
attraction of its character that has yet
been discovered upon earth's broad
domain. We are still in possession of
one undemolished dictionary to which
the Leader man may refer at any time
upon application at this Office.

Of success, which il is reasonable to
suppose, taking into consideration the
excellent record made in :he manage
ment Of the office he now holds, and his
marked popu arity as man, is fully
warranted. In point Of ability, integri-

to which he aspires, he has few peers,

The Leader accuses us Of using alb
solete las he calls it) terms, in reply iLg
TO his pointless vaporings concerning
The awful record made by republicans
in the administration of Custer county
affairs. We infer that be meant OBJ
solete terms, and we plead innocence of
the charge. as the terms in ordinary use
have at all times been found amply
sufficient to express our humble ideas,
and We have always studiously avoided
the use Of any other. We are inclined
TO the belief that the Leader is not in
position to attack us upon this ground,
as il would seem TO rs that he is not
guiltless Of the charge preferred against
us. We are led to this conclusion from
his wording Of description of Mrs.
Maxson's elocutionary efforts at the
court house in this city. in which he
says: "She was excellent in the efful.
sive and explosive oratund qualities of
tone" 1t will probably require some
time for Mrs. Maxson to definitely de
eide as to whether this disjointed and
far fetched sentence may be considered
complimentary or otherwise.
