The political situation in Pennington
county, if reports are true, has recently
undergone a very radical change. A
short time ago the silver craze was
raging to an extent that indicated the
largest majority for Bryan in November
that was ever polled for any candidate
of any party in the history the coun-
ty. A marked change is now said to
have come over the spirit of the dream
of the voters, and in the former strong
holds of the slverites the tide is turned
and has, for the past week or two, been
flowing steadily in the direction of
sound money. Hill City and keystone
are said to be among the places where
the change is most notable, and Rapid
City, which was considered few weeks
ago, pop proposition beyond redemp
tion, is evidently now all right judging
from the following item which we clip
from a recent issue of the Journal:
"The Mckinley Club of Rapid City
are daily expecting their second order
of campaign buttons. Already the club
has distributed over five hundred but
tons in this vicinity and there is de
mand for more"

The democrats are growing loudly
over the result Of the election in Ar
kansas, that state having been carried
by them by large majority, exceeding,
possibly, $4,000. That the state is
intensity democratic, everybody knows,
but why the result of the recent election
should be regarded az having any i'm.
portant political significance, when
viewed from the standpoint of reason,
after a consideration of all the sur
rounding facts, is difficult to determine.
Chairman Cooper, of the republican
state committee, who may be regarded
as good authority in this direction, says
that, Notwithstanding the fact that the
election law was openly violated in
more than twenty counties, by refusal
to appoint republican upon the cleo
tion boards, with the evident purpose
Of fraud. which action resulted in loss
to the republicans of thousands of votes,
that the vote for the republican cauJi-
date for governor was increased so per
cent over his vote in 1894. He further
says that the silver question has not
increased the democratic vote or de-
decreased the republican vote in the
state.

A Better Outlook.

The weekly letter of Henry Clews of
New York, is very encouraging to the
business men of the nation. He says:
Financial affairs at this centre have
shown, during the week, the evidences
Of recovery which were foreshadowed
in my last advices. 1t has been more
than once intimated in these letters that
the great alarm of late months has been
produced rather by impending possibili.
ties as to matters of the very gravest
nature than by any decided probability
that the things feared would be actually
accomplished. We have now reached
a point at which the impossibility of the
American people ever sanctioning such
suicidal policies as are incorporated in
the Bryan platform is becoming each
day more emphatically evident. The
enormity of the proposals has so deeply
aroused the selfrespect and the patriot
ism of our intelligent citizens that an
overwhelming defeat of the revolution
ary party has become q self-evident
certainty to everyone who can read the
signs Of the times, or can discern the
temper Of the American people This
lis which is now working a marked
changed for the better in the tone Of
affairs in business circles"

Judicial Appointments.

The following appointments have re-
Gently been made by the president
John f. Garland for u. S. district Judge
for South Dakota, to succeed Judge A.
j. Edgerton, deceased, and Charles
Amedon of North Dakota, for U. S. dis
trict judge for that state, to succeed
Judge Thomas, deceased. Judge Garland,
of South Dakota, was born in Oswego
county, New York, December II j, 1854.
He was admitted to practice by the
supreme court of Michigan. He settled
at Bismarck, n. d., in 1877, and in 1885
was appointed United States district at
torney for Dakota Territory by President
Cleveland. In 1888 he was appointed
associate justice Of the supreme court OF
the territory and resigned in April, 1889
He came to Sioux Falls in 1889.

A large number of the warmest silver
advocates that Spearfish ever had, and
who were two.thirds inclined to support
Bryan when he was first nominated,
have swung back into line and are going
to cast a shower of ballots for Mckinley,
protection and better times when elec-
tion day comes. They still profess the
deepest faith in the cause of silver, but
they could not reconcile the calamocratic
policy of Bryan and his cohorts with
their own wholesome ideals Of an
honest government, and they have con-
cluded that they cannot afford to aban-
don the twenty-four perfectly sound
planks of the republican platform for
the sake Of the only plank of the Chicago
platform that they can stomach, and
then have to ride with lot of upstairs
who would turn this government OF ours
topsy-turvy if given chance.-Spear-

mander in-Chief, 7. S. Clarkson, Omaha,

II. Mullen, Minnesota; Junior Vice

The, so called, speech of Judge Scott
in this place on Monday night won no
votes for Bryan 30 far as we have been
able to learn, notwithstanding the fact
that he promised effective work in this
direction. The gold bugs of this place,
as he Is pleased to call them, still favor
mills rather than mints, and an honest
dollar with ample opportunity to earn
it, and they will continue to fight it out
on that line until the polls close. The
sheer fallacies of the windy judge fell
upon his sound money auditors like a
gentle shower upon the imperyious
back of full grown duck. They
wouldn't penetrate-they wouldn't stick.
His work was manifestly too coarse to
be effectiye in Custer.

The decadence Of populism IN Clay
county, S. d., where that sentiment
formerly so strongly predominated, is
indicated in the following Vermillion,
S. d., dispatch Of recent date: "The
republicans of Clay county never stood
better show than this year. They
have complete organization and are
gaining strength every day. In the city
of Vermillion, with total vote of 500,
236 are enrolled on the Mckinley club
lists. In one ward, with total vote of
l60, 100 are for Mckinley, twenty-seven
for Bryan and thirty-one decline to ex
press themselves. Gains are reported
from every precinct and the republican
managers think they are very conserva-
tive in claiming the county by 200
majority. In 1894 the populists elected
a full legislative ticket"

Sound Money in the South.

A late New York special says: Maj.
]. F. Hanson a prominent cotton mill
man from Macon, Georgia, said at the
Fifth avenue hotel tonight that there
are good prospects of sound money ge.-
ting big vote throughout the south.
There are enough sound money
democrats In Georgia" he said, to carry
the state for Mckinley if they would
only come out and vote. They are
still afraid of being read out Of
the party down there. But that time
is passing rapidly and men will soon
vote according TO their conyictions l
believe that thousands will vote for Nc
Kinley anyhow and thousands Of others
will stay away from the polls. A secret
ballot this year would save the south
from free silver. As it is several states
in that section will give Mckinley ma
jor ties
IF felt that we were going to have
four years of Bryan democracy should
close out and leave the south, for busi-
ness would be ruined"

Four years ago we were prosperous
beyond anything that We had ever
known, even in this nation of prosperity.
The monetary standard WIS the same
then as now, but our tariff policy was
different. Then we had protection, now
we have tariff reform as exemplified by
the hodge-podge Wilson German bill.
Whether or not our financial system
can be improved, it is plain that our first
requisite is to return to the protective
tariff policy, the policy which gave us
prosperity in the past. That comes first,
as Major Mckinley said in his letter of
acceptance.-Econom

The York tNebraska) Times SAYS:
There are good many strange things
developed by politics besides strange
bedfellows. Who would have thought
six months ago that any respectable
number of people in the United States
would be attempting to prove that
Mexico is better country than this,
that the Mexican government is bet
ter government, that the Mexican sys-
tenn is better system and that the
Mexican laboring man, who goes half
naked and lives on vegetable soup and
wild fruit, is better Off than our own.
Yet the free silver advocates are driven
to this desperate expedient and DO not
hesitate to accept the situation and un-
dertake to prove it. When they get
dissatisfied and restless they are liable
to allow their disgust at their own party
or government to carry them to almost
any extreme. Who would have thought
four years ago, when Mr.. Bryan was
telling US with SO much assurance that
free trade would make the world
paradise that his scheme would. be tried
and prove a failure, and that while the
ruin, misery and woe that it has
wrought was yet upon US he would come
forward bland and smiling, with another
scheme more foolish and visionary than
the first and find advocates among men
who are supposed to have common
