Republican Methods.

E. E. Hemingway, public examiner
under Sheldon, spent good share of his
time at Pierre last winter attending par
ties and politically deporting himself.
Result: When Maris Taylor of Huron
was appointed he found that the auditor
had allowed Hemingway to rob the ex.
pense fund Of that office Of $500. The
legislature has appropriated 5000 per year
for travelling expenses and so when Mr..
Hemingway retired he should have left
Mr.. Taylors pro rata of the money ap-
propriated for the year. But that is not
the Republican method of doing business.
South Dakota Republicans know how to
rob the treasury, if they don't know any.
thing else. Hemingway, like Baldwin,
claimed part of Taylor's March salary
and IN order to get his own pay, Mr..
Taylor finally submitted to the imposi-
tion Of Hemingway and the state auditor
and accepted half of his first months sal.
ary. The governors Office, which should
have had credit of $500 in the expense
fund, was shy S167. Where the money
went has not been explained. The re-
tirlng governor was allowed to overdraw
his salary S44.5O His private secretary
was allowed to overdraw S2l. 40. His
stenographer, employed at $40 per
month. drew S2O for four days work,
viz: from January 1st to January 5th, the
date when Governor Lee assumed his du-
ties. The chairman Of the railroad com
missioners, George Johnson Of Mitchell,
came to Pierre when the votes were being
counted and after it was settled that the
Popullst commissioners had been elected
he proceeded to clean up what money
there was in the expense fund, amounting
to some S17O. The attorney general
found his first months salary overdrawn,
and the secretary OF state found his eX
pense fund short. The retiring Repub-
lican officials seemed to have made one
gigantic grab at all the money in sight
before going into private life. 1t is such
fellows as these who are now whooplng it
up against the Populist legislature and
governor, charging the former with all
manner of things they did not do, and
averring that the latter is guilty Of brl-
berry, coercion, etc. 1t is ludicrous If it
were not for the everlasting shame that
South Dakota has been so long run by
these unconscionable pirates.-Elk Point

"On the Potomac"

This popular military drama was pre-
sented in Bedford hall on Friday and
Saturday evenings of last week by Messrs.
Lennon and Ellis assisted by home talent.
Each performance was greeted by large
audience and all were pleased. To Mrs.
Shufelt alone belongs the credit of having
this play put on here. She not only fore.
saw success where others doubted, but
assisted Mr.. Lennon is selecting the entire
caste. took the most difficult part herself
besides selling over 40 tickets for the first
nights performance. She was the first In
the field and faithful until the end. We
can pay her no higher compliment than
to repeat the words OF Mr.. Ellis. who
wrote the play. 1.-The lines of Lillian
are peculiar and difficult to render. You
have worked them up in fine style, and
the best Lillian l ever had" Our
readers can understand how much that
meant when they know the play has
been put on in at least one hundred
cities. Mrs. Shufelt may we'll feel proud,
as do all of her friends. Mrs. Tawney,
as the Northern Mother. was an ideal for
that part. but Miss Catharlne Conklin, as
Nellie, was the bright star-the brightest
star. Many think Kittie, as her friends
call her, possesses dramatic talent to re-
markable degree, and for one so young,
uses her gift to great advantage. She
has as many admirers as friends and as
many friends as acquaintances, and none
will ever miss an opportunity of showing
their appreciation OF her when oppor
tunlty offers. OF the gentlemen. they all
did so well we dare not make edlstinctions.
George Franklin perhaps deserves special
mention and no one will forget the
beauty of Fred Bacon, the military airs
Of Ben Millard and Asa Forrest, or Frank

handsome. dashing Lieut.. Dynna sent
a thrill of admiration into the heart of
every young lady present. Miss Marie
Averill was pianist and rendered delight
full music, Messrs. Lennon and Ellis
have established themselves in high
favor in Canton, not only as promoters Of
high class of entertainment, but as
gentlemen of congenial social qualities.
We hope they have found their stay with
US so pleasant and profitable that in the
near future their path will again wind
this way.

Kyle and the Republicans.

During the session of the legislature
ffty-two Republicans entered into deal
whereby they abandoned all party prin.
ciple for the sake OF spoils and supported
Kyle for U. S. senator. 1t has been
strenuously proclaimed by part of the
Republican press that Senator KYLE did
not abandon the principles for which he
had Heretofore contended and had not
entered into any deal regarding the spoils
of office. 1t was apparent to the wiser
heads in the Republican forces that such
corrupt gang methods would react with
tremendous force on the party organiza-
ton throughoutthe state. The one thing
which has more than any other disguised
the rank and file of the Republican party
in the state has been the absolute aban.
donment by the Republican leaders of the
state of all semblance Of principle and
their evident willingness to ente. into any
deal whereby they could reap the spoils
of office.
The party management drifted into the
hands of railroad lobbyists, spoilsmen
and unprincipled leaders. The Repub.
licans being in the minority in the last
legislature organized their forces COM
pactly ready to throw their vote to that
candidate in the fusion forces who might
be corrupt enough to Join with them in
carrying out their plans for the capture
Of the federal offices. When it became
apparent that Kyle was surely defeated
within his own ranks and when all had
deserted him except thirteen members,
the Republican forces united upon him
and parcelled out the federal patronage
within the state. Their plans, however,
miscarried. Pickler has not received the
promised plum. Kittredge has FASTENED
to Washington to. ascertain why the rest
of the program is not carried out and in
the meantime the rank and file are thor
oughly disgusted. Kyle continues to act
with the Republicans in congress. The
Washington Post a few days ago. con-
tanned the following significant item Of
news:
Whatever doubt there may have
been as to the position which Senator
Kyle of South Dakota will assume in
the future proceedings of the senate,
it was removed yesterday by the dis
cussion of the Republican caucus.
In the report Of the caucus commit
tee Kyle was classed with the Repub-
licans. as a matter of course. 1t is
certain that he has allied himself
with them, not only in the matter of
the tariff, but in reorganization also.
If the Republicans and Senator Kyle
had been honest enough at the start to
openly and truthfully proclaim that a
deal had been consu m mated. both parties
would stand in better repute before the
people of the state. AS the plan gradual
ly developes it is becoming more and
more clear to everybody that the bold
proclamation made that there was no
deal that the spoils of office did not enter
into the transaction: that no abandon
ment of principle had taken place was
false. thus adding to the original disgrace
of Kyle and the Republicans the addition
al one OF lying. .~......
