Article Twenty Four

shall article twenty-four Of the con-
stitution be repealed?"
The above question, which will be
submitted to the voters of South Dakota
at the pending election, is indefinite as
to its purpose. There are many voters
in the state who, by reason OF their
limited knowledge of our state constitu.
ton, would be unable to determine the
purport Of the article. It will be suffer
ent to state by way Of explanation, that
the article relates to prohibition, and
the question submitted to the voter is,
in PLAIN terms, shall the prohibition
clause Of our state constitution be re
pealed? 1t is always important that ;he
elector be informed upon all questions
upon which he is called upon to cast
his ballot to the end that he may be
enabled to vote intelligently, and for
this reason We have briefly stated the
import Of the article under considera-
ton, to which the attention Of our
readers is especially called.

Bry anism Waning.

Republicans here are greatly en-
couraged, says a late Chicago special,
over to-day's registration in Chicago
1t shows that every sound money demo-
crat will vote against Bryan. Democrats
at Illinois state headquarters privately
concede the hopelessness Of their cam

torial campaign in the saddle. The first
days experience has been decidedly
discouraging.
Telegrams indicate that ex-President
Harrisoa's stumping tour, began today,
has thoroughly aroused Indiana and
that the generals train Of old soldiers
touring Michigan mas aroused that state.
The popocratic campaign Of misrepre-
sentation proceeds. Their determina-
ton to make falsehood the chief am
muntion till election day is demon
strated by official announcement Of the
popocratic silver organ in Chicago whose
principal owner is under sentence 10

literature through the mails. This or
gan republishes the odieus PRESLEY
letter from Boston, referred to in these
dispatches yesterday. in spite of the fact
that Chairman Hanna has denounced il
publicly in every newspaper in the
country as falsehood out Of whole
cloth. Chairman Jones also continues
the effort to array class against class and
stir up bitterness among the working
people by issneing in the newspapers
for publication infammatory statements
in which he charges that employees are
being coerced into the support of Nc
Kinley, although this statement has
been repeatedly denied and proven
false in every case where the charge was
specifically made and investigation
made possible.
Right Rev. George l.. Seymour, bishop
of the Episcopal church diocese ofsouth-
ern Illinois, today joined in the public
expression in favor Of sound money
made by Bishop Newman of the Meth.

camp today over the discovery by ambi-
tious men that promises of certain
official positions of high grade are being
freely made, and that they are being
duplicated in way extremely emba--
raising TO those who have "put up" to
secure the first pledge. This is espsci
ally illustrated in the discovery that the
position Of minister to France, which
was promised to Marcus Daily, the Mon

repledged, this time to Daly's bitter
political enemy, w. c. Clark, another

The Rally.


The republican rally held in this place
on Tuesday night, in point ofAumbers,
and in the measure ofehthusiasm mani.
tested, was a well defined success, ex-
ceeding all expectations. The parade
outshone all past efforts in this direc.
tions in this place. Glowing torches
flaming fiambsans, luminous transpal +.
encies and pyrotechnics were inspiring
features, music lent it's charms, and the
ladies of the Mckinley club in line gave
a tone TO the whole affair unknown to
all former demonstrations of this char.
acter.
Ex-senator w. F. Sanders, of Mon
tana, the speaker of the evening, was
escorted to the opera house at s o'clock,
where, after the singing Of a popular
Mckinley song by the Glee club, he was
introduced by State Committeeman
Grantham to one Of the largest and
most appreciatiye audiences ever as
sernhlsd in .-this- eity. Mr.. aeeders's
reputation as public speaker is such
as to insure him large audiences on all
occasions, and being q resident Of one
Of the leading silver states, the desire
on the part Of the public to hear him
was thereby intensified, the stand taken
by him in opposition to tho free silver
theory, under the circumstances, being
considered somewhat anomalous.
Mr. Sanders is, and has been for many
years, directly interested in the silver
industry in his state, where he is the
owner Of valuable silver producing
mines, but being a man OF broad views,
and having, by a patient and persistent
study of the question, become convinced
that the free and united coinage of
silver at the ratio Of Is to ! would be
detrimental to the masses, he has had
the courage TO denounce il from the
rostrum in the face of the most over
whelming opposition in the opening Of
the campaign in his own state. His
address on this occasion was au able one.
His review Of the history Of the re-
publican party, it's policies and achieve
ments, was so faithfully and eloquently
presented as TO awaken q feeling Of
national pride in every patriotic heart
regardless Of party affiliations, and his
masterfu. arguments upon economic
questions we're so strong, clear and un-
assailable as to stamp the seal of con-
viction upon ihe minds Of his auditors.
The address is conceded to have been
one Of the ablest and most profound
exposiiions of the pending political
questions that has been presented in
this place during the campaign. Mr..
Sanders departed for Deadwood. accom-
panied by his wife, on the Wednesday
morning train, being under engagement
10 speak at few other Hills uoints
before departing for his home, which be
expects to reach on Monday next.

Voters should remember the fact that.
under the election law, as amended,
they must erase the name OF any candi-
date for whom they DO not desire to
vote, and place a cross to the eft of the
name Of the candidate they desire to
support on another ticket. While it is
proper for all voters tn understand this,
it is to be hoped that republicans will
largely refrain from using the pencil in

for their support is not susceptible of
improvement thereby.
