Pettlgrew Palaver.

Frank P~ettigrew. now popularity
known as the renegade republican U. s.
senator of South Dakota, arrived in this
city on the Saturday afternoon south
bound freight, and for two hours dis
pensed his perverse palaver to a mea-
gre audience at the opera house in the
evening. One of Webster's definitions
Of the term palaver, is, ito deceive by
words" and it is in this sense we EN-
ploy the term.
While the former republican friends
of Mr.. Pettigrew were all cognizant of
his coming, it was a notable fact hat
none of them were present at the depot
to greet him upon his arrival, but,
strange as it may appear, only those
who in the not remote past, were arrayed
in opposition to him, were present to
receive this p~rincely paragon of political
perfection, whose loyalty to principle
has, as he claims, served to keep HIM in
line with the true tenets of republican
ism after the party had deserted him
An engagement made prior to the an
nouncement of his coming prevented
our hearing the disiointed but harmless
harrangue which he is said to have in
hicted uron his hearers, but as reported
by reliable parties present, his discourse
was mainly made up o. apologies for the
course ne mad pursued in boiling his
party platform, and the bitter denuncia-
ton of republican principles. Like
Bryan, in whose interest he is so per-
sistently laboring, ne places little value
upon the services Of the soldiers who
fought to a successful finish the great
battles of the rebellion in defense Of the
national flag, as we are informed by
men whose veracity is above question,
all Of whom were bis patient, but dis
gusted listeners, that he said: "Any
nan who spends thirty days working
for Bryan will do his country better
service than the one who spent three
years carrying the musket. The issues
of the present campaign are more i'm
portant than the issue from 81 to 65."
Whatever may be said of other re-
marks made by Mr.. Pettigrew on this
occasion. many Of which we are in
formed, invite criticism, 1t will be con-
coded by all that the remarks quoted
will not be effective in securing to any
considerable extent, the soldier vote of
this place for Mr.. Bryan. His speech,
while at times, is said to have been
loudly applauded, did not have the
effect of making a single additional vote
for Bryan, il indeed it did not result in
adding a few to the Mckinley column.
Call again, Mr.. Pettigrew, you are un.
questionably harmless.

Surprise Party.

The home Of Hugh Hanna, was the
scene Of notably enjoyable social oc-
casien on Saturday evening the 3rd inst.
Thirty three years previous to wit, on
the 3rd day of October. 1863, what was
regarded as a very important event, oc-
Cured in the Hanna family in the Buck.
eye state. The important event referred
to was the advent upon the worlds stage
OF the i~nfantile Hugh.
This last anniversary of that event
would have passed u~nnoticed had
Hugh's better half been as thoughtless
as be, but regarding the occasion as be-
ing one worthy of being fttingly cele.
brated, she proceeded with, and COM
pleted, unknown to HIM, all necessary
preliminary arrangements for what
proved to be, not only a most complete
surprise to Hugh, but to all who were
so fortunate as TO be present upon the
occasion, a most pleasant and enjoyable
affair. When Hugh entered his home
at the usual hour in the evening, he was
confronted with so large a number Of
ladies and gentleman that his first
thought was that he had mis- aiken the
house and had unwittingly intruded his
presence upon some public gathering.
His confusion was only temporary
however, the true status Of the situation
readily dawning upon his mind, when
his wife questioned him as to the day
Of the month. After haying fully recov
cred his self possession, his attention
was directed to an elegant parlor chair,
the gift of the ladies' present, which he
sas requested to occupy. The occasion
was now becoming intensely interesting
and he naturally wondered what would
be the next important feature. His sus.
pense was of short duration, as the feast
a vcrtiable banquet, replete with all Of
the tout Of sight" delicacies obtainable,
was soon announced. This pleasing
| feature concluded music, both vocal and
instrumental, followed to charm the cal
of the happy throng. Games of variou,
kinds furnished agreeable pastime, and
social converse, always pleasing, was en-
joyed to a late hour, when the good
nights were said, and the guests retired
all earnestly uniting with Hugh in the
ardent wish that the occasion would be
duplicated many times in the future life
history Of Mr.. Hanna. Among the mum
Der participating in the pleasures of the
occasion we note Mr.. and Mrs. ID. L,
Dandy, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Barnett, Mr.
and Mrs. John McFadden, Mr. and Mrs

The i~nnitial number Of the Custer
County Journal made its advent on
Wednesday. 1t is a six column folio,
patent inside, has Bryan and Sewall at
its masthead, and for an infant, max s
a quite pretentious appearance. While
it is pronounced in the expression of its
political views, it is free from abuse.
As the leader Of forlorn hope, it will
doubtless put forth its mightiest efforts
for the success of Bryan and the local
popocratic ticket during the brief time
intervening between now and the pend.
ing election, but as all signs now point
to the certain success of Mckinley and
the triumph of the republican party in
Custer county, it may be set down with
affair degree of assurance, that the hercul-
can effort contemplated will be wholly
futile, or in other words, cloves labor
lost"
