Some time ago, says the Deadwood
Times, one Cunningham X. Scott, Of
Omaha, a so-called Judge was sent into
this country 10 labor for the popocratic
national ticket, headed by William J.
Bryan. but reports had it that the ex-
pcnse Of his trip was to be borne by the
republican national committee. This
ritter, however, was not believed at the
TINE, but the results Of his talk through
sit the Hills accompanied by his acts
and doings at various places, notably
hotel Bullock in this city, gave quite a
coloring to the aforesaid reports, for it
is well known that his ungentlemanly
conduct while here, coupled with hrs
actions upon the rostrum and abusive
treatment of subjects which he treated,
acted as boomerang and his mission
in this part Of the country was Of no
benefit to the populist party and inter
ests. He went from the Hills to north
ern Wyoming, and we next hear from
him at Sheridan where q meeting was
held on Thursday, 18th, at which he
spoke, and from the stage he openly
and grossly insulted two ladies who
were compelled by fatigue to retire from
the hall, and when citizen (populist
by the way requested that the speaker
do not insult our ladies'" he, the afore-
said Scott, used insulting language to all
the ladies in the house. His friends at
tempted an excuse for him by the state
ment that he must have been drunk. 1t
is the hope that Judge (?) c. K. Scott will
continue his political discourses until
Nov. 3rd for he is doing yeoman's service
for sound money and protection.

Six big milling industries, located
variously in Pennsylvania, Delaware,
New Hampshire and Illinois have
started up since the news arrived from
Maine. They give employment in the
aggregate to 10000 men. 1.-THE rout Of
populism in one state can have such a
benefcient result, what may not be ex-
pected when the grand CONCLUSIVE result
is announced in November Chicago
Tribune.

The ballot TO be voted this fall in this
state will be of unusual dimensions. 1t
is thus described by Yankton corre-
spondent "The ballot to be voted at
the coming election in this state will be
larger and for the average voter more
difficult to comprehend than anything
Of the kind ever used here. 1t will be
so large that the average country printer
wilt be unable to do the work. There
viii be four sets of presidential electors,
three state tickets and two county and
legislative tickets in every county, and
in some counties there will be three
tickets. In addition TO all these ballots
printed upon one sheet, there are four
constitutional amendments to puzzle
the voter"

Referring to Col. Kellar, of Hot
Springs, the fusion candidate for the
state senate, the Buffalo Gap Republican
says: "The Colonel is a recruit from
the republican ranks, and is no doubt
the strongest man they could put up.
Notwithstanding all his good qualities
he is doomed to be defeated for he is on
the wrong ticket. w. G. Porter of
Custer county will be the next senator
from this district"

/; Andrew Lee, populist candidate for
governor, in speech at Frederick few
days since, admitted that free coinage
Of silver would decrease the value of
pensions paid to the veterans, and said
they ought to be patriotic enough to give
that much to the government. This re
mark has not increased his popularity
with the old soldiers of the state espe-
cially a. it comes from man not in
sympathy with them and who is him

President Diaz Of Mexico says the
United States alone can't enhance the
valne of silver, rs that question can only
be settled by international agreement.
Mexico has been free silver country a
very long time, but she has never by
free coinage been able to DC anything
for silver by herself and she won't. Ask
the free silver crowd why Mexico
doesn't raise silver to $l.29 per ounce
and they change the subject.

Commenting upon the large number
of democrats, many Of whom have been
prominent in the councils oftheir party,
who have come out openly in favor of
Mckinley and sound money, an eastern

stances of the present political situation

McKinley's lawn is the scene of large
and anxious crowds who congregate
there daily TO see and hear the next
president. Delegations from all over
the country have been coming, are now
coming, and will continue to come. and
all efforts thus far made have utterly
failed and will, no doubt, continue to
fail to keep them off the grass.

In an article from the facile faber Of
Capt. Tom Eussell, recently appearing
in the Deadwood Mining Review. in
which the matchless merits ofthe mines
of Terry and free coinage are beautifully
blended. h- quotes from Ex-Governor
Gilpiu, of Colorado, q distinguished
scholar and scientist, in support of the
theory, that the richest deposits of the
precious metals are found at the highest
elevations. The Custer mineral belt
being the highest in the Hills, must
therefore prove in its future develop
ment, If the theory be true, to be the
richest in the region, matter very
comforting in its contemplation, and
one which We trust may stimulate effort
In removing the barriefs which now
shut ont from utilization the marvellous
treasures contained in the rock bound
vaults Of this favored region.

taken III a few days before the race came off.
His father was substituted, and sent Goldsmith
Maid under the wire In 2:l6s..
