payers of Pennington county is not
whether the populist party shall be

the admins tration which took

shall be retained. That is the
question plainly put.

LEAVES FROM THE RECORD.
Pennington county's enormous debt of over $50, 0oo-far

monument to Pennington county republcanism!
The county printing steals which were carried on for
years and which were only stopped when populst commissioners
had carried the matter to the supreme court of South Dakota
they stand as a flaming emblem of republican 'econony!'

THE CANDIDATES.
A Few Important Points Con
corning the Men Ask
ing for Election.
THE STATE sENATORsHrP,

A gift of oratory is not so much
of a requisite in the makeup of a
state senator as a reliable supply of
horse sense, good judgment andO an
inclination to look after the wants
of common people. Hon. Edmund
Smith, the silver candidate for state
senator, is the possessor Of the lat
ter vital qualifications and his re-
cord as a citizen and as a practition-
eris ample proof of 1T. When the
man who is now asking the people
of Pennington comfy to elect him
state senator on the republican tick
ct was circuit judge he sought to
perpetuate the county printing
steals by trying to FoRcE. silver Of
fcials to enter into contract with
republicans at certain prices when
lower bids we're in. Hon. Edmund
Smith fought the battle on behalf Of
the taxpayers Of PenningtoHcounty,
carried fitsto the snpseme court and
won it. The republican candidates.
order was not only reversed, but a
scathing censure was rendered him
by the supreme court. Further
more, the republican candidate is
in warm sympathy with the Kit
tredge railroad machine and ought
not to be elected. Compare his
record with that of the Hon. Ed
mund Smith and judge for yourself
as to who is the peoples best candi-
date. A man who will prostitute
his Office to help out a jobber at the
expense of the people will not make
a good senator. A man who will
fight that steal and defeat it is the
man for the position. That man
is Hon. Edmund Smith. Vote for
him.
REPRESENTATIVES,.
Pennington county will be most
creditably represented at Pierre if
w. W. Pinkerton and L. Won oehr-
mann are elected as representatives.
Both men are thoroughly clean,
know the wishes of their constitu-
ents and r fearless in carrying out
those wishes. They r capable in
every way and will be found on the
right side of every measure intended
to benefit the people. For repre-
sentatives vote for Pinkerton and
Won Woehrmann.
THE COUNTY TREASURER.
No more important Office in the
county exists than that of county
treasurer. The present treasurer.
W. H. LaBee, has made such ar ex-
cellent record in the discharge of
his duties that the republicans were
not willing to select on, of their
number for defeat. SO they nominat-
ed a GOLD DEMOCRAT-a man totally
unit for the otfice-to be put up and
knocked down as a straw man. The
t~reasurer's Office is where the great
bulk Of the work has been done
toward getting Pennington county
out Of bankruptcy into the road Of
lesser taxes, higher priced warrants
aud smaller Indebtedness. The only
men opposing the reelection Of w.
r.. LaBee are men whom be has

him.

COUNTY AUDITOR.

S"oAA
Pennington county has never had
an ADLER auditor than P. F. Nc
Mahon. There is not an objection
to be offered to his reelection. His
Office has shown much Improvement
in its management as compared
with the conduct of his republican
predecessors. The worst thing to
be said regarding Mr.. McMahon's
opponent is that many Of the steals
which tended ito bankrupt the
county were railroaded through
when the republican candidate was
either auditor or deputy auditor,
and no voice was raised against
them. Reflect Mcmahon and no
mistake WsiilIT.b made.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
This is one of the offices which
has been ably conducted BY Frank
M. Lockhart, who is the silver candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Lockhart
has turned the office into a revenue.
producer for the county, turning
more than five times as much money
into the treasury as was turned in
by any republican official. His
books are in excellent shape, every
record is in its place and a more
obliging official never occupied the
position. His reelection will mean
that nc mistake has been made by
the people.
STATES ATTORNEY,
A thorough knowledge of the law,
the knack to use that knowledge,
and years of experience are the
things which recommend Chauncey
L. Wood to the people OF Penning-
ton county tor states attorney. He
has all of these requisites and has
for years been recognized as one OF
the leading attorneys of South Da-
kota. He is fearless, out-spoken
and never two-faced. His republi-
eau opponent is inexperienced in
the practice of law and is politically
unsoun3. A few days ago in a silver
community he stated that he favored
the free coinage of silver, while in
his home town he poses as a gold
standard republican. There are the
men. Judge for yourself.
CLERK OF COURTS.
John z. McElroy Jr., the silver
nominee asks reelection to this
office and is willing to stand or fall
on the record he has made as clerk
of courts. Look it up and you will
find it all right. His republican OPP
ponent is a man untitled for the
position and the people of the county
would make a mistake in electing
him. Vote for McElroy.

rule in county; state and nation is

A FEW FACTS
Taken From the e
ords on File at the
Court House.
REPUBLIClHlSI's ROTTEN REcoRDl

Done for Pennington
County.
The UNION has repeatedly charged
during the campaign that the period
during which the republican party
had charge of county affairs was a
period of extravaganza, of = lavish
waste of the peoples money, and of
political jobbery. 1t has plainly
outlined q number of the steals rail-
roaded through under republican
administrations aud this week pre-
sents figures taken from the OFFICIAL
RECORDS now on file i'm the office of
the county auditor. These reveal
one long chapter of republican ex-
travagance and jobbery, aud every
assertion made by Tue UNION in
this regard can be verified by any
n who cares to give 20 minutes to
an examination of the records on
file. Those records are public prop
oerty, open to inspection by one and
all.
The UNION will take the records
Tor the past seven years and quote
the showing made. At the ending
of the fiscal year, June 80, 1892, the
warrant debt of Pennington connty
was $94, O2l, with the county's run-
ming expenses for that year footing
up to $44,453. The cash on hand at
that time was $i2, s43. The republi-
a party vas ia power aud at the
ending of the next fiscal year, June
30. 1893, the warrant debt had run
from $94, 02l up to $l03, 831-aa in
crease in the debt of So, 8 in one
year! That was republican ''eeon-
omy.' With the increase in the
debt came a corresponding increase
IN the county's running expenses,
which at that date we're found to be
$5O,554-an increase of sc, l0f for
the same year-more republican
economy.
But the republican party was in
the saddle and wanted to run the
thing to suiu itself. At the end of
the next fiscal year. June 30, 1894,
the warrant debt of the county foot
ed up to the surprising sum OF
1926, 536-an increase of $12, 7O5 in
one year! The people paid the bill,
so what cared the republican admin
istrationl The running expenses Of
the county for the same year footed
up to $6l, 66O-an increase of $ll, JOG
for one nor year of republican
economy" But this is not all.
With an increase of SIP, 7O5 in the
county's debt and an increase of
81, 1O6 in the county's running ex
penses, the cash on hand at that
time June 80, 1894 had dwindled
NO"A w why pS3OCb! NO "Ouucr
taxation reached the unbearable
point.
But who cared? Republican con-
tractors "stood in" with republican
officials and the bills were railroad
ed through! "The people be damn
ed!' The taxpayers footed the bills!
Sosaid the party of national honor"
IN bennington county and republi-
economy was practiced for an
other twelve months. What was
the result? The official records will
tell the truth! Republican orators
and newspapers are not so partlcu-
lar! For the fiscal year ending June
30. 1898, the warran! debt Of Pen
nington county was Sal, 554, an in
crease of $15,0l8 for the year-morc
republican economy" The run
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1898-10-28

ming expenses for the same year de-
creased, only footing up to
@42,062. The people were gradually
waking up and signs of an approach
ing political storm were plenty.
Then csme the memorable battle
of 1896 when everything that dared
defend the "people-be-damned" pol
icy Of the republican party in PEN
nington county vas showed under
by an avalanche Of votes cast by
outraged taxpayers! The worm
had turnedl The day of retributiou
had overtaken the republicans! At
the close of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1896-the last year of re-
publicanism-the county's warrant
debt was $148, 582-an increase of
$7,O28 for the year, with a decrease
of something like $1,000 in the cash
on hand. The silver administration
took the county government on Jan
uary l, 1897, and much was to be
done before the course of events
could be reversed. The county debt
increased $11,188 the first year, but
the running expense fell to $33, 9O4,
while the cash on hand Increased to
$24, $50, ur almost twice what it was
the preceding year. Warrants rose
from 81 cents on the dollar to IS
cents. The county began paying
cash for supplies furnished and
labor performed. In 1894 under re
publican rule the running expenses
of the county were SCI, $50. The
first year under a silver administra-
ton they came down to $33, 9O4, a
saving to taxpayers Of $32, 1856 for
the first yearl That is economy of
the true variety.
But what of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1898? Look at the records
on file and see. The county debt at
that date vas $l5l,N Q What does
that indicate? Adecrease OF nearly
nearly $1,000 in the county debt,
the first decrease in the history of
Pennington countyl And that re-
suit was accomplished in the face of
the fact that the court house was
twice burned and twice rebuilt.
There is the record, Mr.. Taxpayer,
and there is nc way OF getting away
from it. Every figure quoted by
The UNION is taken direct from the
official records at the court house.
Figures wont lie if you treat them
right. Republican stumpers and
candidates in the county have at
tempted to juggle them and make
them lie, but The UNION ,has given
the plain, cold, unvarnished facts,
borne out by the records on file.
Look them up yourself if you doubt
us.
The men who have accomplish ed
these splendid results are up for re-
election. Shall the county govern
ment be placed in safe hands by
their reelection, or not? Republi-
cans + lavish in promising what
they will do if elected. The silver
candidates point to what they have
already done! That is their recon
mendation. "By their fruits We
shall know Them" Study the rec
ords carefully, consider it fairly and
