Thos. II. Ayers, private secretary to
Gov. Lee, has delivered the most telling
speech on state issues yet given 10 the
campaign to an audience at Okobojo, in
Sully county, last Saturday night. Mr..
Ayers dwelt largely on the financial con-
dltion OF state affairs and being in q po-
sition to obtain his information direct
from the state records with which he
shows much familiarity, he laid up q
heavy bill OF incompetency and fraud
against republican administration Of
state affairs. He knocks the boosted
claim of Kirk Phillips and republican
legislation looking to IN economical ad.
mlnistration OF state affairs into a cooked
hat. When We entered upon statehood
November 5. 1889, we assumed q total
territorial debt of 100000. From that
date to January l, 1897, when Gov. Lee
and a popullst legislature took charge,

t~ration, 529s,000 more debt was added,
an increase of 5lO2 per day, overy day OF
the eight years.
On January l, 1897, our state debt
was S1,238,200. In eighteen. months
since that time until July l, 1898, under
Gov. Lee and the acts OF a populist leg
islature, the debt has been reduced
$37G,OOO, or at the rate OF e67O per day.
Should the same ratio of decrease be

per cent, which any taxpayer will see
when he comes to look at his state tax
receipt. These are facts that our re.
publican friends cannot gal nsay.
Mr.. Ayers also takes "A pretty fall out
OF State Treasurer Phillips, not only in
connection with his illegal taking of
state interest on deposits but more par
tlcularly in reference to that time WIEN
he boosted about saving the credit OF
the state by issuing emergency warrants,
$4,000, at the time the state treasury
was depleted by republican steals. The
Legislature had just adjourned and Gov.
Lee had been but three months in Office.
The cry was raised that state warrants
we're at a discount and Mr.. Phillips
claimed that the governor would not let
him negotiate $4,000 of emergency war.
rants to maintain the credit OF the state.
The fact is the governor neve refused,
but MI. Phillips had left the capital Of
the state and Gov. Lee had to chase as.
ter him to secure the issue in order ia
meet the demands upon the general fund
OF the state. These emergency warrants
drew 7 per cent, MI. Phillips sold them
to the banks in Deadwood where he
kept his deposits. They we're bought
really with the state money and when
the whole transaction was finally cleared
up South Dakota had paid Mr.. Phillips
and the Deadwood banks $3.50 for the
privilege OF using it's own money.

maintained during the next six months
and the next two years, and there is no
reason to doubt that it will If the popu-
lists are returned to control state affairs,
the bonded debt Of the state will be re-
duced SC2S,320 by the first Of January,
1900 To begin with, we now have on
hand in the treasury $4,000, leaving
only 5lli,s11 to be made good in that
time by economical administration. Mr..
Ayers shows by the actual figures that
the populist legislature Of 1897 saved in
appropriations as compared with the re-
publican administration OF two years
before, very nearly 100000, and taxing
out appropriations which it had TO make
for republican deficits in administration
their last two years OF power and charg-
ing these deficits up to the republicans,
the difference OF saving in the two ap-
preparation bills would have been S154,.
53G. The total loss to the state on the
Taylor defalcation he shows to be $780,
841. 76.
The splendid record made by the pop
ulist administration in this state has
raised it's credit abroad to one OF the
highest and best ia the union. Conf
dence in the state government has been
restored, capital, investments and immi-
grants have flowed in as a consequence,
and the "calamity" predicted by repu b.
lican papers and speakers it the popu-
lists gained power has been completely
refuted by experience. So it has been
under populist administration in Kan
sac, in Nebraska, in Washington, every
where that populists have ruled. State
and county debts have been paid off by
wise and economical administration,
confidence, capital and immigration
have returned after republican corrup-
ton, stealing and corporate rule has
been overthrown. But over and above
