[sEALl r. n. HOLDEN,
Notary Public.
The above affidavit ought to effec-
tually answer the attempt which was
made last week to blacken my official
character by the Bryan Club" the
existence of which was never sus-
pected until 1t sprang into promin-
ence as q barricade behind which the
Pettigrew forces hide while they dis
charge their mud batteries at men
who have the temerity 90 protest
against their very questionable politi-
cal methods. This attack upon me Is
q surprise only in that was deemed
Of enough importance to be q target.
1t has been known for some time that
that sort Of campaign would soon be
commenced by the fusion forces be-
cause the chairman OF their ways
and Means'' committee imbibed 4
little more liquid enthusiasm than he
could carry short time ago and gave
the whole snap away together with
the names of those who were TO be the
subjects of the attack. The reason
for commencing the dirty work here
30 soon is the fact that the republi-
cans Of this part Of the county have
been particularly active this fall and
the fusion forces find themselves face
TO face with certain and ignominious
defeat, hence, like drowning men,
they clutch at any straw which prom.
ises to keep their heads above the tur.
bid waters OF Salt creek. Unfortun-
ately for them, they have chosen the
wrong breed of chickens and theil
own heads are now sore from the raps
they get as the fowls come home Il
roost. With regard to their alleged
affidavit, wish to say that it is q
cleverly drawn document in that Il
makes a number of insinuations and
no positive assertions, while the max.
ers thereof crawl behind the Bryan
Club" in order to escape arrest fol
criminal libel. ! am informed tha,
the document was drawn by J. C
Jenkins, the pop candidate for stats
senator, and II ought TO be the mean,

Republican Club.

The republican club of this city
is constantly growing in numbers
and now has enrolled over $50
members. The officers of the
club are G. A. Mathews, president;
Geo. A. Roskie, 1st vice president;
Ole Hanson, I'd vice-president; p.
f. Loucks, secretary. Frequent
meetings are being held and ad-
dresses made by local orators.
1t will prove an important factor
in rolling up the majority in this
city for the republican ticket.

1t is rather "small potatoes" to
charge a man with changing his
name and using such thing for
campaign argument. Il puts a
premium upon the question of in
telligence and the REGISTER has
faith enough in the American peo-
pie, especially those in this state,
to believe that such rot is given
little attention in a decision to
vote for a governor on either
ticket.

"What Could Bryan Do For Silver7"

We have seen that while pro-
tected by the Cleveland admins
tration as effectually as it could be
under any gold-standard law, the
country suffered from apprehen-
sion of what was threatened. IL
Mr.. Bryan should be elected now,
would there, or would there not,
be gronnd for apprehension as to
what might follow? (?
The gold-standard law received
IL Democratic votes in the House.
There is greater probability that
the next House will be Democrat
ic than that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected: and, If the latter event oc-
ours, it may be accepted as certain
that the House will be Democratic
by a much larger majority than II.
The free-silver element will organ
ize the House and elect the
Speaker, and control legislation.
In the Senate there are now "a
votes to sustain the gold d-standard
law, counting one in the Pennsyl-
yania vicinity. But the two Dem
ocrats who voted for it, Lindsey
and Caffery, will be replaced on
March A next by free-silyer SEN
ators already elected. Seven Re-
publican Senators who voted for
it are likely to lose their seats at
the same time, If the sentiment Of
the country is such as to elect Mr..
Bryan. They, are Baker, of Kan
sas; Carter, of Montana; Elkins, OF
West Virginia; Shoup, of Idaho;
Thurston, of Nebraska; Warren,
Of Wyoming; and Wolcott, Of Col
orsdo. III Mr.. Bryan is elected,
he viii almost certainly carry all
Of these states; and If he carries
them, it is to be expected that they
will elect free-silver Senators
Nine votes deducted from the
sound-money strength leaves The
Senate tie, with a free-silvel
Vice. President in the chair.
1t is apparent, from the forego.
ling, that If Mr.. Bryan is electet
there will be no safe and reliabl,
majority against him in eithel
branch of Congress,it is impossible
for any man to give his influence
TO the election Of Mr.. Bryan with
Tout aiding him to control in Con

The following afiidavits appeared in
the White Enterprise last week:
State OF South Dakota
County OF Brookings. %.
L. d. Miner, president, and H. NJ.
Harden, secretary Of White Bryan
club, of White, Brookings county, s.
D., being duly sworn, state that on
the 1st day 0: October there were
mailed 80 parts of Congressional Rec
ard, under the frank of John J. Lentz,
member OF congress from Ohio, TO 3S
German Americans, SO Of whom got
their mall at White, S. ID. and so far
as affi ants know but two OF said parts
of Congressional Record have been de-
livered to the persons to whom they
were addressed.
On Oct. eth thirteen OF said Ger
man American citizens, to whom said
mail was addressed, called at the post
Office at White, s. D., and asked the
postmaster that he deliver to them
the said mail which had been sent to
their addresses, declaring that such
mail had not been delivered. The
postmaster stated that he had put the
mail in their boxes and did not know
why 1t had not been received.
The affiants declare that other mail
has been placed in the postoffice
which, In their opinion, has not been
delivered TO the persons to wnom it
was addressed.
For that reason it was determined
to copy the names of the persons to
whom the said parts Of Congressional
Record were addressed, and to make
inquiry If same was received. The
mail not having been received, 1t is
atlantis opinion that the mail was
wilfully destroyed by the postmaster
at White for political reasons.
The above was signed by L. ID.
MINER, president and H. M. Harden,
secretary, and subscribed before j. M.
Farrell.

such News of July Datc-Indi-
Gates state of Rebellion.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Such news
as came to Washington from China was
distinctly bad 1t consisted of cable
gram to Minister Wu from Sung, the
imperial director of posts and telegraphs
at Shanghai, and, according to the
minister. was in reply to an urgent
message he himself had sent the day be-
fore to that official, asking him to try
to secure some news from the Chinese
capital. This cablegram Minister WI
regarded as of sufficient Importance to
carry in person directly to Secretary
Hay, who was waiting at his home for
news. The message, as resolved from
the cipher, was as follows:
"Pekin news of July says that Cen
crai Tuan Fuh Slang, in disobedience of
imperial orders, was about to use guns.
Legations aud the government will be
in peril,
This news was eorroborative of that
contained in recent cablegram from
Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
although the consul general gave his
Pekin news the date of the 9th, saying
that the final attack upon the legations
with guns was about to begin on the
9TH of July. 1t is surmised here that
Mr.. Goodnow got his news ftom Sheng,
who is certainly in position to secure the
first news from Pekin.
Officials here derive some satisfaction
from the portion of the dispatch coup
ling the fate of the imperial govern
ment with that of the foreign ministers,
as it sustained them in the position they
had held from the first, that the Chinese
government is not at war with Christen-
dom. but is confronting afO midable in

FIRE DEVASTATES

Prescott, Ariz., July lG.-Tottering
walls and piles of charred and burning
debris are all that remain Of the large
portion of Prescott's business district,
The fire wrought over $l,0U0,000 dam
ages. It burned unchecked for over
four hours, when the fire fighters went
O considerable distance in advance of
the flames and blew up the buildings on
the south side of Goodwin street, pre-
venting them from crossing that street.
The burned district embraces five
blocks in which were located the prin-
cipal mercantile houses, both banks,
both telegraph offices, three newspaper
plants, four hotels, every saloon and
every restaurant except one i'll the
town besides scores of private residen-
ces To add TO the prevailing gloom a
high wind prevailed to-day, sending
smoke. dust and burning embers in
every direction Only the greatest Wig
lance prevented another outbreak of
the flames.
Insurance agents estimate the total
insurance does not exceed s3j0,000.
All the sufferers from the fire have
heen provided with food, shelter and
clothing, and it is not thought any ont
side assistance will be required.

YOKOHAMA, Friday, July l3.-The
Chinese minister in Toxic has visited
the Japanese minister of foreign affairs
and communicated TO him what is de-
scribed as "The first Pel,in dispatch
since the trouble broke out"
The dispatch says that the murder OF
the German minister and other for
eigners was due to the Taku affair and
to the sending of Admiral Seymour's
expedition. and that the Chinese gov
ernment is now doing its best to pro-
tect the foreigners in Pekin.

picion that while Mr.. Wa is undoubt-
edly acting with perfect sincerity, that
Sheng, who is represented to be IA clever
and adroit man, may knew more of the
actual happenings at Pekin than he is
willing to reveal at once. 1t is feared
that he is trying to prepare the way for
the disclosure of terrible news.
Minister Wu's cablegram from Sheng,
above given, should not be taken as an
answer to the cipher message he for
warded at Secretary Hays request to
China in the effort TO get it through to
Minister Conger. That message went
to Yonan Shih-Kai, the governor of the
province of Shantung. That official has
replied informally that he had no news
himself, bat it was assumed that he will
take prompt steps to forward the cipher
message His status at this critical
juncture was unfortunately not beyond
suspicion, though Mr.. WI apparently
retained full confidence in him.

APPEAL OF AMERICANS.
Those In Shanghai Ask Their Fellows In
America to Urge Speedy
Action.

LONDON, July l6.-Following is the
text of an appeal of Americans i'll China,
assembled i'll mass meeting i'll Shang-
hal, to their fellow citizens at home:
"Urge the government to send ade
Quate forces to act effectively i'll concert
with the other powers. AT present the
American forces are quite dispropor.
tionate to the interests involved. Our
commercial interests in the northern
provinces are paramount, and we con-
slider it humiliating policy to entrust
to other powers the chief task, that OF
protecting Americans.
"Anti-foreign outrages are multiply
ing daily. Officials and missionaries
ters and their families in Pekin is not
known but a general massacre is appre.
hcndcd. Wholesale mnssacres of native
christians continue. The whole coun.
try is terrorized. Trade is paralyzed.
"Thc speedy restoration Of order and
retribution are duties pressing upon all
civilized powers. The consequences of
delay will be disastrous. Not only are
foreign lives and property placed in
jeopardy, but the loss of influence will
be incalculable.
"Give no credence to statements OF
the situation sent by the Chinese gov
ernment to its ministers abroad. The
present outrages are the result of the
weak and vacillating policy of the pow
crs in the past. We urge immediate,
energetic and concerted action"
