"If the editor always told the truth,
he would have no readers for his
paper" So said the editor of the
Herald not so awfully long ago.
If the silverites wish to elect q sher-
if this fall they can do no wiser thing
than to nominate r. e. Parsons
Times Herald, July 81.
But they did not do that thing,
therefore, of course they do not wish
to and do not expect to elect their
nominee for sheriff.

In his personal animosity toward the
Stanley family, Ames would trade off
il he could-every man on the fusion
ticket to defeat Will Stanley for audi
tor and elect his printer, Jason March.
But no doubt March has paid dearly
for the support the Herald gives him.

Talk about friendship for the old
soldiers! Such talk from the demo-
ire
formers" is all rot. On their democrat.
10 county ticket they named one un-
ion soldier for county Judge. The re-
publicans have nominated five old sol
diers on the county ticket.

This is the way Senator Pettigrew's
newspapers defend that $4,000 attor-
ney's fee rake.of that his brother-in-
law had a hand in:

That is very thin defense indeed to
make for a senator of the United
States who is using his utmost endeav-
or as chairmon of the Indian commit
tee to secure a favorable recommend
and passage of the bill.
II have taken all the passes l could
get and regret that / have not been
able to get more"
So says Congressman Knowles in a
communication to the Deadwood Inde-
pendent. That is about the calibre of
the man. He will work everybody for
all that he can get and then kick be-
cause he IS unable to get more. And
he is one of the fellows who declares
that, "a pass Isl bribe." And this is
the saue congressman who was not on
duty when the national %sanitarium bill
came up, and thereby seriously ne
elected the interests of the old soldiers

When the voters come to consider
the office of states attorney they will
quickly conclude that they want q man
in that position who has not fought
the legality OF assessments and taxa
ton from M year to another. A
states attorney is the county's prose-
cutor as we'll as the county's defender.
Major Adnerson has not sought to
have the taxes Of the county wiped of
completely and will not be placed in
the embarrassing position Of trying to
defend just what he has once prose-

rassed. Major Anderson was a gallant
soldier and is a vigorous prosecutor.
Don't overlook these facts.
The fusion organ, true to its princi-
pies of misrepr e%sentation and abuse,
sttempts to make it appear that the
county auditor has been derelict in. his
duty in not mentioning all the pro-
posed constitutional amendments in
the published notice of election. If
the Herald man will cease his mud
singing long enough to refer to Sec
tions 10 and 26 of chapter 20 of the ses-
sion laws of 1897, he will see that these
amendments are to be included in the
notice of certificates Of nominations
filed. And yet this pure and undefiled
reform" sheet, that example of all
that is good aud holy, will make no
apology for its false and malicious
