of single candidate appears against
whose character can one word Of re-
proack be Justly uttered The ticket
represents men Of high character, and
unquestioned ability, not one of whom
is undeserving Of the heartiest support
of the people of the state, and it should
be the policy, IS it is the duty of all
loyal republicans to do everything in
their power to secure their election.
The name Of d. w. McFadden, an old
and highly respected resident of our
city, appears upon the ticket as candi-
date for railroad commissioner, and
being capable. trustworthy and desery'
ing, should receive the support Of every
voter in the county. In this instance,
the second in our history, where we
have been given an opportunity to cast
our ballots for Custer county man on
the state ticket, let it not be said that we
did not show our appreciation of the
honor by giving the candidate our earn
est support. 1t should be remembered
that there is no other Custer county
candidate for this Office, and it should
be the policy and determination flocal
voters without reference to party affila-
tions TO elect Mac, the Custer county
candidate.

An Important Matter.

The Hot Springs Star publishes a
Yankton special to the Sioux City
Journal, stating that the political con-
test in this state is now centered in the
legislature. The republicans have, on
the present estimate, good working
majority, but there are combinations at
work by the opposition under the direc-
ton of Senator Pettigrew that the
leaders will watch closely. 1t has been
his boast that he would capture the
legislature if he lost all else, and it is
only recently that the republicans have
given any especial attention to this
most important matter. Urging the
importance of resisting this scheme, the
Star submits the following. which ap-
plies with equal force to the republicans
of Custer county:
Every republican should be alert
and see that the popocrats do not sue
coed in their trading scheme. They are
working it for all they are worth. They
realize that their state. ticfet and their
county ticket is hopelessly lost and they
therefore are making final and desper-
ate struggle to capture the legislature.
Fall River county can't afford to lend
aid toward making legislature such as
the one that elected Senator Kyle"

are elsewhere, are awaiting with the
utmost degree ofanxiety for the election
of Mckinley, in which assured event
they will be given an early opportunity
to earn livelihood.
In one office alone in that city, that of
D. II. Burnham. prominent contractor
and builder, plans are in, SAYS the Re-
cord, that would keep the construction
in progress for more than year. The
plans, now in our hands and awaiting
election returns, says Mr. Burnham, foot
up S6,320,000. On one job that is tied
up in our hands, says Mr.. Graham, Sc
cretary Of the firm, there is work for 400
men for eight months, There will be

He's He Gone Daft. P

Senator Pettigrew, the radical and err

unpatriotic utterances from the rostrum

quoted by the Argus-L Leader at that
place, as having said among other re-
marks of revolutionary character. that

than making people laugh, and that if
the principles he was contending for
could not be settled ut the ballot box,
they must be settled by bloodshed.

Monday night, Nov. 2nd, upon which
occasion, the weather permitting, there
will be street parade and other feat

acter President Hancher, Of Hot

commencing promptly at o'clock,
closing in time to take the night train
for Hot Springs. ii. d. Reynolds. to
whom has been justly awarded the
honor of closing the campaign in Gus
ter, will follow Mr.. Hancher, and dis
cuss the vital issues until the close OF
the meeting. 1t is especially desired
that there be large attendance on this
occasion, the last of its character pre-
ceding the election Of the great apostle
of protection, champion of an honest
dollar and the recognized advance agen,
of prosperity and plenty.

LOOK OUT FOR RooRBAcHs.

Roorbachs. or false reports concocted
and given general circulation immedi-
ately proceeding an election for the pur-
pose ofdefeating party ticket or certain
candidates thereon, may he noted
among the most Infamous methods EN-
ployed for political effect which has not
yet become obsolete. Many of our local
readers will recall more than one
instance where this infamous scheme
has been worked in Custer county with
telling effect. and it should be the fixed
determination of all voters to give no
credence whatever to any report which
may be created, casting reflection upon
the party or its candidates at time so
near the election as to render its refuta-
ton impossible. There is apparently
no scheme too infamous for political
forlorn hope to resort to, and it will be
the safest plan to stamp all reports Of
this character as undIluted lies from the
grass roots down to the false bedrock
upon which they are based.

pertinently says: at cost the govern

as result it has so much silver bullion

throw it into the markets experts say

THE STATE TICKET.

While the CHRONICLE has given much

candidates nominated by the republi-
cans for county Offices, it has not deemed
it necessary to make personal mention
Of state candidates, and has therefore
cunfucd its comments to the general
merits of the ticket, which may he
safely said to surpass, in thrs direction,
any state ticket that has ever been
nominated by any party in the states

There has been great deal Of talk
during the past few weeks about coer-
cion the part of the republicans, and after
the most careful test of the
matter, not single case
Of the kind has ever been found. 1t
now transpires that the coercion is all on
the other side of the political fence, and
that it is being practiced upon mole
extensive scale by the silver mine own
ers Of Montana than has ever been
charged to the republicans. The Min
neapolis Tribune publishes the cold fact
in regard to the coercion Of the employ
es of the silver mine owners in Montana
who are compelled to subscribe literally
to the silver campaign fund, or lose
their jobs. These facts are verified by
the miners themselves, many of whom
have been discharged for refusing to
pay their assessments. The popocrats
who have been bowling so hideously
about railroad coercion, will dead,
sure, draw the line OH the force used, by
the silver kings.

1t is very important that voters make
no mistake in preparing their ballots.
The surest way to evade all possibility
Of a mistake, and we especially COM
mend it to republicans, is to put cross
in the circle at the top OF the ticket,
then turn your attention to the amend
ments, and put cross in the square to
the left of the word "yes" or mo-" in
accordance with your convictions upon
the questions submitted, drop the pencil,
fold the ballot, pass it in and await the
glorions results.

We should like to ask Mr.. Bryan how
the people will get money to buy what
the mills produce unless they get it
through earning it by work in the mills
and factories. How else does MIR.
Bryan expect the people to get money?
Does he expect those who bring bullion
to the mint for coinage to pass out the
coin to the people as a free gift? The
mints may stay open day and night to
coin money, but there is no way for the
people, except the owners of bullion TO
get any of the money coined except by
working for it. Open mills provide
work and work provides money, or an
equi2ale for money, which will pur-
chase the necessities Of life.-American
Economist.

he has been a most uncompromising

school mate of the writer in Ohio way
back in the fifties, and we are pleased
to welcome him to our ranks. The

alton made by him few days ago:

Election Reports.

Messrs. Firestone & Ulton have per-

Nov. 3rd to 9th inclusive. The reports
will be taken and bulletined in their
Billiard room, by an Omaha operator, a
wire connecting with the main line at
the railroad depot being put in for this
purpose. They will also bulletin all re-
ports, as soon as received, at Republican
Headquarters for the benefit of the la.
dies desiring to hear the news, which
will be kept warm and comfortable for
their accommodation.

All republicans will agree upon the
proposition that a republican represent
ative in the L. S. senate from this state
is of the most vital and paramount i'm
portance. and the republican voters of
Custer county should bear in mind that
q ballot cast for w. G. Porter and l..
Ballou is a vote cast in this direction.
Don't fail to give this important matter
due consideration. The opposition are
making a special effort to secure the
legislature, and it will be our fault if
they succeed in Custer county. Ignore
trading upon any terms and vote the
ticket from top to bottom.
