What is the matter with our
mails from Blackfoot-the rail
road service For the past two
weeks Custer county has been
without mail nearly half the
time. On an average we get a
mail about every other day. The
Department should investigate
this matter.
1t issthe duty of every man and
woman in Custer county, who
qualified, to vote on the Sth day
of November next. We should
all endeavor to select good men
and women to fill our offices, and
we. know of no man better quail
fed to fill the position of District
Judge of this district than Texas
Angel. He is man that we all
know to be qualified to ill this
high station, besides he is
heavy tax payer of Custer coun-
ty, and just the right man for
the place, SO you will never re-
gret casting your vote for him.
DIR. F. S. Pyle, the old reliable
dentist, has just returned from
Omaha, and will remain in Chal-
lis for this week only and is fully
prepared to do all kinds of work
in the dental line. Give him
call, for this will be your last
opportunity, as he will spend the
winter in his city offices.
For fresh Booth oysters call
at Busters.
John Marriott, nominee on the
Independent ticket for Represen-
tative arrived in Challis last Sat
urday evening. Mr.. Marriott is
good man for the place, re-
gardless of what our fusion ed
itor may say. Mr.. Marriott has
been a resident of Custer county
some 13 years, and is hard work
ing man, but is fully qualified to
fill the position for which be has
been nominated. He is a friend
of the laboring man, and no cor
poration or company has any
control over him. This is the
kind of man that the masses of
the people should support. He
is not a Office seeker, but this is
a case where the Office sought
the man.
The editor of the Republican
column in this issue says
sit is stated the Populist fus-
ion committee made this offer:
That if fusion of the three par
ties could be effected, and Geo.
Keyes was nominated on the fus-
ion ticket for Clerk of the Dis
trict Court the other parties
could name all the other candi-
dates.
Now in all due justice to the
Populist party and Mr.. Keyes,
and believing that our Republi-
can editor would not do any one
an injustice, we desire to let the
public know the true facts in this
matter, we being in position to
know. Our committee on fusion
made the Democrats and Silver
Republicans this proposition on
fusion, and no other To com
mence at the head of the ticket,
the Democrats and Silver Re
publicans to take first and sec
ond choice (as they could agree
between themselves), and the
sPopulists third choice; and SO ON
down till the ticket was filed.
