directors of these banks are democrats
and republicans, the heaviest stock
holders in two Of them and president of
one, is o. j. Salisbury, free silverite
owning large silver mining interests in
Utah. Mr.. Salisbury controls the First
National of Deadwood and the First
National of Lead and not a dollar of
Will they pay out until after the elec.
ton, which means that they expect to
sell the gold which was deposited by
the people Of this vicinity and make the
premium on it, and pay their depositors
in silver and paper, which of course is
legal tender and would be perfectly
legitimate. Now does it seem possible
that the free coinage advocates of Lead,
who are denouncing the banks would
vote to send gold to premium and out
OF circulation and allow Mr.. Salisbury to
make about 500, 900 out Of their deposits.
1t is possible they will dig gold and
themselves be satisfied with paper and
silver Mr. Salisbury is president of the
First National bank Of Dead WOOD. Now
~eshould suggest that some fthe sill
yer men of this county should write TO
Mr. Salisbury and ask him to send or
ders to his banks here to cash their
paper in gold and exchange some of the
gold he is holding for their silver and
paper. If Mr. Salisbury is confident that
silver and gold can be kept on a par, his
gold is worth no more to him than sill
yer and therefore why cannon he accom-
modate his patrons in the Hills by Civ
ting them gold, which they seem to want.
Mr.. Salisbury would not be taking much
chances in doing this because it is hard
ly possible that Bryan will be elected,
and then he. Mr.. Salisbury, is confident
that silver will go up and all money will
be on par, and if there is any risk to
take in this matter, why is Mr.. Salisbury
not as able to take these chances as the
depositors and the men who are digging
the gold. 1t would be we'll for our free
silver men to investigate this matter
and ask Mr.. Salisbury why, unless he
predicts an era OF cheap money, does he
hold his gold, and why, if he does not
apprehend that gold will be driven out
of circulation and be sold as merchan-
disc, does he not pay it out when his
patrons, who paid it to him, ask for it.
If our silver friends would investigate
these facts, they might find that there
was something in the talk about de-
preciated currency scare.-Lead Trib-

The Rally.

The republican rally held In this place
on Tuesday night, in point of numbers,
and in the measure of enthusiasm mani
tested, was a well defined success, ex-
ceeding all expectations. The parade
outshone all past efforts in this direc.
tlons in this place. Glowing torches
flaming fiambsans, luminous transpai.
encies and pyrotechnics were inspiring
features, music lent its charms, and the
ladies of the Mckinley club in line gave
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 o'clock,
where, after the singing of 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
sembled in this city. Nr. Sanders's
reputation as a public speaker is such
as to insase him large audiences on all
occasions, and being a 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 the 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 III his state, where he is the
owner of valuable silver producing
mines, but being a man of broad views,
and having, by patient and persistent
study of the question, become convinced
that the free and united coinage Of
silver at the ratio of l6 to l would be
detrimental 10 the masses, he has had
the courage TO denounce it 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 an able one.
His review Of the history Of the re-
publican party, its 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
mas,erfu. arguments upon economic
questions ere 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
expositions 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
to speak at few other Hills points
before departing for his home, which he
expects to reach on Monday next.

Bryanism 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
paign and have practically closed their
work. They will now turn their atten-
ton to Michigan and Indiana. They
have sent their chief of their speakers
bureau to Michigan to manage the ora
torial campaign in the saddle. The first
days experience has been decidedly
discouraging.
kilograms indicate that President
Harrison's stumping tour, began today,
has thoroughly aroused Indiana and
that the generals train of old soldiers
touring Michigan has aroused that state.
The popocratic campaign of misrepre-
sentation proceeds. Their determina-
ton to make falsehood the chief am
munton till election day is demon
strated by official announcement Of the
popocratic silver organ in Chicago whose
principal owner is under sentence TO
the penitentiary for sending obscene
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 it
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 issueing in the newspapers
for publication inflammatory statements
in which he charges that employees arc
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 of south
ern Illinois. today joined in the public
expression in favor of sound money
made by Bishop Newman of the Meth.
odist church. and Archbishop ireland
and Monsiegnor Seninber OF the Roman
Catholic church, through letter to the
state republican committee OF Illinois.
Trouble broke out in the popocratic
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 a way extremely em'bar-
rasing to those who have "put up" to
secure the first pledge. This is especi-
ally illustrated in the discovery that the
position Of minister to France, which
was promised to Marcus DAILY, the Mon
tana silver mine owner, has now been
repledged. this time to Daly's bitter
political enemy, w. c. Clark, another
Montana silver mine owner. 1t is un-
derstood that contribution of $40, 900
was obtained from Clark in addition to
5000 already given the campaign
fund, Mr.. Clark's ambition being to
reign in diplomatic circles as SILVER
king"

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. 1t will be suificl-
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 the
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 consdera-
ton, to which the attention Of our
readers is especially called.

The Leayen Still Working.

Samuel Odell, late secretary of the
Fall River county popocratic central
committee, who &c said to have recently
discovered the error of his course in
advocating the cause of Bryan and free
silver, is now a strong supporter OF
Mckinley and sound money. He is said
to have been one of the prominent
singers in the Mckinley glee club at the
big republican rally at Hot Springs on
Monday last. The leaven of education
is still working in Fail River county as

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 to understand this.
it is to be hoped that republicans will
largely refrain from using the pencil in
this direction. as the ticket presented

Bryan went to Iron Mountain, Mich.
because Hanna is largely interested in
an iron mine at that point, and he
hoped to secure some intimidation"
stories to circulate through the country.
Instead of that, Hanna gave his men
three hours vacation to 60 and hear
Bryan and paid them the same as il at

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

Maine has followed Vermont in Civ
ing a great majority for the Republi-
cans, Just as Arkansas and Alabama
followed Tennessee in giving unpre-
cedented Democratic majorities. The
significance of these elections is very
plain to the impartial observer. 1t
means that New England, with her
large holdings of money, is so welded
to gold that no argument can change
its position. 1t means that, having dom
mated. in connection with New York,
the financial policy of this government
for thirty years and more, it is deter
mined that its legislation-made
wealth shall continue to increase in its
power to purchase the muscle of work
ers and the products of the field. There
are other causes that contributed to
the result in Maine, but they are all
secondary. There were thousands of
gold Democrats who voted the Repub-
lican ticket straight, showing that love
of pocket-book took precedence of par
tv fealty. There was no Democratic
organization worthy of the name out
side of Cumberland and York coun-
ties, and in one or two other sections
in the State" said yesterdays Post.
'"The Democrats have been forced to
make what fight they have made with
very little money and with few speak
ers." The Democrats first nominated
a gold man for Governor, and after the
Chicago convention took him down
and named a silver man, and this dis
tracted the party. Added to these
things, there has been a bitter fight
between the Democrats and Populists
when they ought to have been pull
ing together. 1t is little wonder that
with a campaign of this character,
'Maine went
Hell bent
For Governor Kent"
The last Republican elected Gov
ernor in Maine, in 1894, received
plurality of 3o,927 over all competitors.
The increase of this year is chiefly to
be attributed to the treachery of for
mer Democrats and the liberal use of
money.
Maine has spoken. Now let us listen
for Georgia and Florida, which will
meet New England's bold challenge,
and declare that the South is as solid
for silver as New England is for gold.

The Republicans and Populists of

Mayor Cooke of that city, win be mar
ried on the 23rd instant to Miss Minnie

c. r. Turner, Esq, of Catawba, one
of the Democratic nominees for the
Senate in his district, has declined, ow-
ing to the exactions of his private bust
ness.
r. S. Ball. Of Asheville, made a speech
at the Democratic club and renowned
allegiance to the Republican party. He
said Senator Pritchard had taught
him his silver views and that Pearson
could be bent to fit anything.
The Populists in Wayne county de-
cided to fuse with the Republicans,
and nominated a skeleton ticket. They
then passed a resolution says the Ar
gus that that no candidate for the
General Assembly shall receive the
suffrage of the Populists of Wayne
county unless he shall pledge himself
in writing to vote for United States
Senator who is in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver.

THEY HAVE THE COURAGE OF
THEIR TREACHERY.

The Jackson county Populists, or
rather the two thirds who composed
the county convention, have the cour-
age of their treachery. They did not
pretend that the "deal' was not made
to send Pritchard (gold bug) back to
the Senate and Pearson (golg bng) to
the House. They admitted it and en-
dorsed it, and declared for the Repub-
lican nominees for the Legislature.
There are only 164 Populists in Jackson
county, and it is reliably Democratic.
This endorsement of gold bugs merely
shows that those who did it are gold
bugs at heart They will vote for Me
Kinley openly or secretly, which ever
way they can do most to injure silver.
But of the 164 Populists, Radical lead
ers will lose at the polls more than
two thirds. Watch the prediction!

WHO WILL PAY FOR SPECIAL
TRAINS TO CANTON.

The Canton correspondent of one of
our Republican contemporaries tells a
very pathetic story of how several hun
bred Ohio laborers who have been
thrown out of employment by the Dem
ocratic"free trade" tariff bill chartered
a special train and journeyed all the
way to the home of the Republican
Presidential nominee to pledge him
their support. 1t is quite natural that
unemployed woringmen should en-
ploy special trains and travel about
the country to exploit their displeas-
ure. Special trains, and especially spe-
cial trains to Canton, are becoming
every day occurrences. In the event
of the election of Mckinley and Ho-
bart, there will be legislative and adj
miuistrative acts which will force the
taxpayers to foot the bills for all the
special trains and other contributions
the corporations are making to the
Republican campaign fund.--New York
