THEM UP.

The last two issues of IHE
UNION have brought forth the roar
expected from the republican camp
all over the circuit and every little
sheet of the yellow persuasion IN
the entire district is up in arms
against The UNION. The state
.ments made by this paper concern
ing the methods being employed
by S. E. Wilson. the railroad can
didate. and his cohorts in their
desperate attempts to defeat Lew
MCGEE for circuit Judge furnished
the basis for the systematic roar
from the republican papers and
being absolutely unable to show
that The UNION was wrong or
misinformed they cry in n ac-
cord, "taint so" Weighty argu-
ment!
The UNION got it's information
straight on every statement made,
and has been fixed for several weeks
to show up just such treachery as
has come to light, no matter where
it might appear in this circuit.
Wilson has shown his hand in this
campaign and his backers--some
of them in Rapid City-have done
their best to make a of a
losing game, but THE UNION, not
for the first time, lays bare the
treachery and brings merited de-
feat to Wilson and those who
aided him in these matters.
The people of this circuit will
never reward such tactics as have
been employed by the republi-
cans in this campaign-mark our
prediction-but on Tuesday next
will elect Levi MCGEE as Judge
and administer a crushing defeat
to Wilson and his hackers.

GOLD CLIQUE

GUILD CLlQ ONMAOhGl'.
The failure of the bimetalic COM
mission to secure favorable action
from the British cabinet will place
the republican administration
squarely on the monometallic gold
platform.
This is as it should be. Toe
long have the people been led
astray by the false pretense of the
republican party that it favored
some legislation in the interests OF
silver. Now the mask has been
removed and further concealment
Of the designs of the gold clique
will be impossible. Already Sec
rotary Gage has sentu up a trial
balloon''in the way Of an announce
ment Of some of the ''reforms''
which he proposes to ask for in
the currency.
The retirement Of the green
backs and the creation Of a bonded
debt of $500, 900, 900, more or less,
is one of the charming propositions
that will be made to congress.
Another beautiful feature will be
the issuing on the part Of the
banks of an ~''elastic'
consisting OF paper money secured
by the office furniture of these in
stltutions. Truly sound money"
advocates have some strange vag-
aries. However, the true friends
OF the silver cause will not regret
the fact that circumstances are
Just as they are No longer will
they be forced to fight an enemy
both in front and rear.
The situation is more promising
for a victo1y on the part of binet-
alllsts since the false hope of inter
national action has been removed
and the gold clique sorced to show
its hand. The 'ssound money
men will discover that the task be-
fore them Is not easy Of accom-
pllshment, and the unsoundness
Of their theories will be made man
ifest when they are fully presented
for discussion.
