OUR STATE TICKET.

The state republican ticket is beyond
question greatly superior to it's opposi-
tion. Those who are acquainted with
the various candidates upon each
ticket know this to be in the main alb
solutely fact. A comparison of the
candidates for governor, for instance,
would be almost odious, and unjust to
Mr.. Ringsrud from an intellectual
point of view. Mr.. Ringsrud will make
an ideal governor; he is thoroughly
honorable, upright, dignified, of com.
manding appearance, and at the same
time atfable, genial and pleasant.
We might compare the two tickets
entirely, and we believe without excep-
tion the republican ticket would show
a far higher order of excellence of men
and merit.
AS to the congressional nominees,
our readers mostly are very we'll posted
upon the merits of the opposing candi-
dates, andno one will certainly contend
that Freeman Knowles is the equal of
Coe l. Crawford from any standpoint
you care to size them up. And Robert
j. Gamble is known over the whole
state by everybody to outranl1 j. o..
Kelley 1G to 1. The republican con-
gressional nominees will compare fa-
vorably with those of almost any state,
and will keep South Dakota to the fore
front OF prominence in this great Union.

CAMPAIGN ENDED.

Before the next issue of the STAR the
result of the national election will be
known. The STAR has no doubt of the
result. Major Mckinley will be tri-
umplantly elected by large majority
of both electoral and popular vote.
The concensus of opinion is that he
will have more than 300 electoral votes
certain. with IA strong probability OF a
good many more. After the 4th of
March the senate and the house will
both be republican by good working
majcritics. We have great confidence
i'll the sober and honest action of the
American people. Our friends. the
enemy, have tried hard to sway the
masses and the classes aud have left
nothing undone to prejndics the voter
in their favor. Their efforts will be
lnavailing as the election returns on
November the 4th will fully demon
strate.

MONEY PROM SILVER KINGS.


A Watertown, South Dakota, special
to the Sioux City Journal says: Sena-
tor Pettigrew, while here yesterday, at
tempted to cash $1,000 draft issued
by the Bank of Hamilton, Montana. of
which Mark DAILY, the silver king, is in
terested. The draft was payable in
New York and was not cashed here,
but the incident is the subject of gen
eral political discussion. Inquiry leads
to the conclusion that the amount will
be put into the fight in this county in
the interest of Mr.. Bryan, and that
corresponding amounts are being dis
tributed by Mr.. Pettigrew in other re-
publican strongholds The fact that
he had "a friend i'm the bank. a so called
silver republican. conveys the impress
sion that he will draw on that element
for his confidential agents.

The Memphis Scimitar was stanch
supporter of Palmcrand Buckner until
Bryan conversed i'll that city. After
hearing Wandering Willie. the Scimi-
tar WAS persuaded that his defeat was
the most pressing necessityof the time.
and. therefore, hoisted the flag of Me
Kinley and Hobart. Times Herald.
The Scimitar, shortly after the cleo
tion of Harrison, endorsed and recon-
mended Col. Kellar,our honored towns
man. for Il cabinet position under that
republican administration. What
would the Scimitar say il it knew that
the gallant Colonel had caught the
free silver craze and is now stanch
supporter of this same Wandering
Willie."

POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES

The popocrats have great deal to
say concerning what the republican
party will or will not do after they
come into power next March. One
thing cannot be denied and that is that
the republican party has been the best
friend that silver ever had it has made
silver circulate along with gold, made
silver coin equal to gold coin: has
caused to he coined over four hundred
million silver dollars since 1873. against
eight million dollars that had been
coined in all the years previous to that
The republican party has Il record for
friendliness to silver that no other
party can boast of and what speaks
louder praise than Il good. clean, long
life of devotion to cause?
Then. too. the republican party does
not have to alone point to the past as
an index for it's future actions, but it
has made it the declared policy of the
United States to continue the use of
both gold and silver as standard
money. Following is a portion of the
law that was enacted when the Sher
man purchasing act was repealed:
and it is hereby declared to be the
policy Of the United States to continue
the use of both gold and silver as stand
ard money, and to coin both gold and
silver into money of equal intrinsic
and eNchangeable value, such equality
to be- secure through international
agreement, or by such safeguards of
legislation as will insure the mainte-
nance of the parity in value of the
two metals, and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debts. And it
is hereby further declared that the ef-
fort of the government should be stead.
lily directed to the establishment of
such safe system of bimetallism as
will maintain at all times the equal
power of every dollar coined or issued
by the United States, in the markets
and in the payment of debts"
Such is the declared policy of the
United States, and such has always
been its course under q republican ad.
ministration. More silver is being
coined at this very time, each year
than was coined in all the time pre-.
vious to 1873. The republican party
wants both gold and silver and wants
both on parity at al times, and To
this policy the republican party and
tho nation 10 pledged.

publican policy prevailed, this govern

THE COUNTY CANDIDATES.

When the voter comes to consider
the candidates for the various county
offices he usually considers the qualifi-
cations of the men. as we'll as some
thing OF their record. The republican
ticket is a good. clean ticket, composed
of some of the best men in the county.
in voting for Messrs. Porter aud Nc
Clung for the legislature you support
two capable, honest, energetic young
men who will labor incessantly for the
best interests of their constituents and
the old soldiers in every particular,
and who will not vote to return Sena-
tor Kyle to the U. S. senate.
In supporting John Burke you en-
dorse one of the most faithful and best
county treasurersin South Dakota.
BY voting for Walter Anderson for
states attorney you support one of the
brightest young attorneys of the county,
and one who las shown himself quail
fled in every way for the responsible
duties of states attorney. Read what
the committee has ID say i'll another
column.
When sou cast your ballot for Will
Stanley for auditor you support Il
worthy young man who is a splendid
accountant and boo1-keeper. and is
we'll qualified in every way-and who
did not first seeISa nomination to office
from another party convention.
a vote for w. w. Smithson for regis
ter of deeds is vote of approval of
one who has most efficiently served the
county four years as auditor.
Ii you vote for Nat Dryden for sheriff
you support an honorableman in every
walk of life. who pays his debts, pays
heavy taxes, is a permanent resident.
and who will make clean. efficient
sheriff.
In voting for Ed L. Clark for clerk
of the courts you endorse worthy
citizen who made a splendid record as
county commissioner, and one who will
continue to be republican regardless
of the outcome of this contest.
By helping elect Judge Juckett
county judge you retain most capable
man in that position, who will nearly
always be found at his Office to attend
to the important and eSacting duties
devolving upon that officer.
The position of county superinten-
dent is important indeed to the youth
of our county, aid by voting for Mrs.
Thornby you approve of thorough,
competent educator, who has perhaps
received some of the best testimonials
as such ever received by any one in
Fall River county at least, and one
who would bring enthusiasm and arouse
interest to better work in our district
schools.
And DIR. Whitfield for coroner We
know will be acceptable to everybody,
while for the offices Of assessor, sur.
veyor, Justices aud constables We can.
not speak from . personal knowlsdes

Senator Pettigrew has written his CO.
horts in every county in the state to
bend every energy to capture the legis-
lature, letting everything else go to the
dogs, for they do not hope to carry the
state anyway. Pettigrew is desperate
indeed. He is quoted us making use
of the following language in a recent
speech: "lf our principles cannot be,
settled by the ballot trey must be set
tied by bloodshed." And on two trans
parencies Pettigrew's party had this
languages: '.The time will come when
the bankers of New York and Boston
will be hung like the horse thieves
of Texas" and ''Give us liberty OF give
us DEATH" What could more strongly
tend to anarchy and revolution than
the use of such language? And vet
only four years ago, while under this
same financial system, Senator Petit
grew said precisely these words in
speaking of the populistic idea of re-
form:
"They have shouted calamity and
plutocracy and all that, and have thus
sadly increased a discomfort which was
inevitably a feature of our rapid Hevel.
opment, but which can never be cured
by the unphilosophical agitators which
have inflicted themselves upon the
country"
And now Pettigrew is the chief agi-
tator of all-he is the bell-weather of
populism-the same fellow, too, whom
the pop papers not two months ago ac-
cused of being criminally mixed up in
the Taylor defalcation, declaring that
he was "legally and morally only less
guilty of the great crime" than Taylor
himself. Now the pops are straining
every nerve, and exerting every in
tiuence at Pettigrew's behest to elect
their Legislative ticket because Petit
grew wants to name colleague for him
in the U. S. senate that he can handle
and he will do it should the legisla-
ture be populistic.

There is no doubt about what every
body wants-we all are doing that in
politics which we believe will be best
for our country. When our country is
generally in Il prosperous condition
everybody is sure to share in the pros

The trouble is people can not all agree
as to the best way of obtaining what
we all most desire.

The Sioux Falls Journal, Pettigrew's
pop paper. is rehearsing some features
of Taylor's defalcation, but fails to
state that Pettigrew was as deep in the
mire as anybody. aside from Taylor.
Even the pop organs accuse Pettigrew
of being equally as guilty as the worst
but that was before they knew Petit
grew had joined them. Taylor WAS
first nominated state treasurer through
Pettigrew's efforts and il the pop pa
pers are correct he was we'll paid for it,.

The popocrats are making great
hullabaloo about having no funds to
carry on their campaign, and in order
to appeal to the sentiments of the peo-
pie they take up collections at their
meetings in the country. They think
this will prove to the people that they
have no funds and are therefore carrying
on great ''moral" campaign in the in
terest of humanity. without money and
without price. They may be able to
satisfy people of this even though Sen
ator Pettigrew is receiving drafts from
from Marcus Daly's bank-the fifteen
times millionaire silver mine owner.
But after all it's strange that the popo-
crat leaders of Fall River county should
insist on the people of the country
alone contributing to these collections.
Why don't they take up collections in
Hot Springs? Besides these collec-
tions they have made pretty heavy as
sessments upon their candidates. which
indicates that they are pretty flip with
money themselves, and it's no wonder
they seek to pin the attention of the
people upon $4,000 corruption fund.-
of the republican party. They are
probably so deep in the mire them
selves that they desire to distract pub
lie attention. According to the de-
mands they have made upon their reg
lister of deeds, if they make like assess
ments upon all their candidates, they
have a campaign fund that would
make the fund of the republican party
of this county sink into insigniticance.
A fifty dollar assessment for register
of deeds is quite "blooded," and it is
little wonder that some of the popo-
cratic candidates are wondering where
their money is going to.

The popocrats are Just now begin
ming to flood the county with their
reading matter. They were afraid to
send it out alongside good sound repub-
llcan literature, knowing we'll that they
had no argument that would hold water
against the sound facts of republican
ism. The stuff they now send out APP
peals to the prejudices and passions of
men rather than to reason. They are
scattering what purports to be lettcrs
from miners from silver regions at
tempting to show how many millions of
men will at once be employed in the
mines if Bryan is elected: when the
facts are that the men employed in the
mines will not amount to enough to

When it comes to pass that the United

it had better adopt Commonweal Cox

derive some benefits therefrom. in.
stead of making laws from which silver
mine owners bullion is going to be
doubled in value. Or better still fo,
the west this country might give idle
men a job building irrigating reser

argument of the silverites is in these
recent circulars that they are distribu

for Bryan SO as to get a job in the sill

foundation indeed. When this coun
