The Mckinley tariff howlers of
the republican party are evidently
becoming alarmed at the condition
in which they will be placed in
the coming campaign, with a plat
form that offers nothing to the
people but higher taxes, less
money and Bill Mckinley. The
level headed men see that incon-
trollable thing known as public
sentiment rising and showing it's
teeth. A report comes from head
quarters O the committee that an
effort will be made to satisfy the
silver men by making some con-
cession to them on the silver
question. This will undoubtedly
be done, as the fright they have
received from Oregon is more
than they can stand. But as the
union has repeatedly stated, any
thing but absolute free and un-
limited coinage of silver, means
the gold standard, and the people
will not be deceived by any milk
and water offer on this subject.

ties will be entitled to delegates as
follows:

snappers looked GROSS eyed u each
other and ! broad grin spread over
the faces Of the ants Then it
dawned upon some delegates to
call for the question and the chair
put the resolution to q vote which
resulted in two grunts for and one
against and the chair declared
the resolution unanimously adopt
ed. Then followed the selection
of the delegates by the committee
and then endorsed by the whole
convention. Thus far the snappsrs
had things their own way, but the
anti's had a little joker up their
sleeves and sprung a resolution on
the convention which il the dele
gates obey will drop Judge Gard
ner's boom into the bottomless pit
like a ham of meat into a swill
barrel and send his banner trailing
in the dust. 1t was this awful
free silver man from Hill City who
pricked the Gardner bubble, by
offering a free silver resolution,
and instructing the delegates to
support no one for congress who
q not an outspoken and we'll
known advocate Of this measure.
The snappers looked wise and said
they were ready to plunk this lit
tie scheme by a vote; but holy
smoke-the joke Of the season-it
carried by a vote of nineteen to
seventeen. At this point it sud-
denly dawned upon the minds Of
the snappers that they were hit be-
low the belt and that all Of their
aeeming victories were only snares
into which they had been led by
the hidden hand Of some lurking
foe who had led them to the top
most round of victory and then
uncermoniously kicked off into the
Of defeat.
But the Joural got off the raw
est gag of all. It said the dele
didn't know what they were
for when this resolution
Notwithstanding this same
Hill Csty man just before the
vote was taken stated to the con-
.ention that those voting for the
measure vote for free silver and
another delegate arose and said
those voting against it voted for
the gold standard. What a con-
fession for a republican paper to
make. This party which has
boasted for years that it was the
only party Of intelligence the dele
had not sense enough to
vote. What a silly excuse to offer.
The truth is that the convention
wanted a silver man nominated
congress and they SAID so and
they knew Gardner was not.

No proxies will be allowed.
The basis Of representation for
each precinct IN the county will be

This gives the p%resinct delegates

REPUBLICAN ENUNTY CONVEN-
TION

REPUBLICAN ENUNTY CONvEN-
The republicans Of Pennington
county met at the court house in
this city last Thursday in conven-
ton assembled and selected eleven
delegates to the state convention.
Fran the start there was a lively
interest taken and an under cur
rent which some could not under
stand but when praperly interpre-
ted ment free silver. The rapid
growth of this silver sentiment
frightened a certain element of the
party as they could read at once
the death knell to the ambitions Of
their pet candidate for congress,
should this rising tide prove strong
enough to CONTROL the convntion.
So the committee was hurriedly
called together and a sort Of snap
convention called. The committee
met on Friday and the caucuses
were called for Tuesday evening
and the convention Thursday
rather a hurried convention In
view Of the fact that the stete con
vention is not held until July Z.
The anti snappers were at the pri-
mares in force and a lively scrap
followed and it was difficult to de-
eide as to who came out on top.
The convention met and elected
DR.. M'Gillycuddy chairman, which
indicated a snapper victory. After
the routine business, a motion was
made and carried that a committee
Of five be appointed to select
eleven delegates to represent this
county in the state convention.
Before the COMMITTEES retired for
its elaboration a resolution was
offered as a sort Of educator for the
committee, as it outlined what
would be expected Of the delegates
which striped of its fourishes and
trimmings ment that the conven-
ton instruct the delegates to
support Judge Gardner for con-
gress. This brought on a lively
discussion as to what should be
done with it and one delegate
stated that he did not suppose a
single delegate in the hall was OPP
posed to the Judge, which iremark
brought a Hill City delegate to
his feet. He stated that he was
opposed to the Judge on certain
conditions and thet was if he was
a gold bug as he had been informed
he Was q pronounced bug OF this
character. He vas willing to ad-
NIT that the brilliant and rising
young statesman" Of Pennington
county had reached dizzy heights
Of honor in a remarkably short
time, and that he can dive deeper
and soar higher oratorically and
say less in the Same legth of time
than any man Of all his acquaint-
ances, but he would be compelled
to sacrifice all these dazzling at
tainments in case he was against
free silver and requested any per-
son present, who was acquainted
with his views on this ubiect to
state them to the convention. The
