IN CONCLUSION.

IN CONCLUSION.
In conclusion let it be understood that
what has been accomplished by the pop
ulists in this state has been done under
the most trying circumstances. Over
half the public officers are republicans.
The penal and charitable institutions
are in the hands Of the same outfit
which has run n for years. There
ought to be and will be sweeping
change. That there are gross abuses
yet uncovered in the state offices and
public institutions is beyond question.
1t was to prevent thorough investiga-
ton of these abuses that the investigat-
ing committee provided for by the last
legislature was dereated by. republican
obstruction. Everywhere the populist
probe has been inserted it has struck
corruption. Three men elected by the
machine in 1896 have fallen; two 9TH
ers are quivering with fear. Every
where populists have gained control
they have found dirt. The state needs
a good house-cleaning but cannot have
it until the republican officeholders are
driven from power.

For two years prior to july lSt, 1873,
the treasurer had on deposit in the
Bank of Weare & Allison $20.112.79.
During this time the amount of the de-
posit did not change penny. See treas
urer's official reports to the governor.
His bank balances are seldom less
than this, and the worst feature of the
practice of keeping such vast sums of
money on hand is that it is a constant
temptation to any treasurer to defer the
payment of matured obligations in or
der to draw interest on accumulated
funds. That the treasurer now has on
hand large amount Of interest money
which belongs to the people there is no
doubt, and that he will be forced to dis
gorge it if Governor Lee is reelected
there can be no question. That Mr..
Phillips became a candidate for COVER
nor to avert this possible contingency
is at least reasonable inference. The
childish claim that the treasurer and
the banks report the amount of money
on hand to the governor, and that
therefore the responsibility for any
rong-doing on the part Of the treas
urer belongs to the governor will not
stand moment.
The reports Of the treasurer and the
banks made to the governor show mere
iy the total amount Of state funds on
hand. They do not pretend TO show.
nor does tn claw under which they are
made provide that they shall show,
whether the state treasurer receives in
terest on the funds deposited. and
whether he unlawfully puts that inter-
est money in, his own pocket. Nor do
the books Of the treasurer himself show
whether he has received interest on the
state funds for the reason that he has
failed to put that interest into the
treasury where 1t belongs. The books
of the bank repositories should show it,
but the only method by which the total
amount of money thus unlawfully de-
prived to the public treasury can be as
certained is a legal investigation in
court for that purpose.
,s. OTHER REASONS.
There are other reasons why a reform
in the laws governing the treasury are
necessary. One year ago last April, i'm
mediately following the adjournment of
the legislature, a hue and cry was raised
that state warrants were going at dis
count because the governor refused to
sanction an issue of $4,000 in emer-
ssncy warrants. The general fund of

the treasury was exhausted although
er funds. The treasurer sought to put
the governor in false position by leav-
ing the capital city and giving out the
word that the governor was responsible
| for his failure 10 meet warrants drawn
bn the general fund. The fact is that
the governor never refused to approve
an issue of emergency warrants and
that he was compelled to chase the
treasurer in order to secure the issue
of warrants necessary to finance the
general fund These warrants were
quickly negotiated and with a great
flourish Mr.. Phillips announced that
they had been sold in South Dakota.
They were taken by the Deadwood
banks in which the Il ieaSurer then had
| more than s15000 of state funds. The
warrants drew 7 per cent interest and
finally summed up the transaction
amounts to this that South Dakota
paid Phillips and the Deadwood banks
$3.50 in interest for the privilege Of
using her own funds.
STATUS OF THE TAYLOR DEAL.
South Dakota has already had Sutn-
cient experience with mafeasance in
the treasurer's Office to justify radical
conclusion on the part OF the voters up
on the issues involved in the present
campaign. The people will not soon for
get the manner and the method by
which that distinguished republican
William Walter Taylor redeemed" the
state. And for the purpose of giving
you the present status of the Taylor ac-
count l will read for your delectation

examiner:
