SECOND WARD REPUBLICANS
Enthusiastic Meeting Endorses the
Exposure of Rottenness in the
School, Board.

The Second Ward Republican club held a
largely attended and enthusiastic meeting
Wednesday night. The principal speakers
were two OF the republican candidates for
mayor. G. S. Benawa and w. w. Bingham,
the latter's candidacy having been endorsed
by the club at it's preceding meeting. Ad-
dresses were made by the following candi-
dates for the council from that ward: AL
fred Had, Michael Lee, Fred Hoye, Charles
Kessler and Fred Benin.
A resolution introduced by Michael Lee
was unanimously adopted, as follows;
Resolved, by the Second Ward Repub-
lican club. That the condition of affairs re-
Nealed by the School board investigation
which has shocked the entire community
and no part OF which has felt the disgrace
so keenly as the great masses OF the repub
lican party, and while We deeply regret
and most earnestly condemn the conduct
of those recreant members and eX-members
Of the School board who have betrayed
the trust we reposed in them, we rejoice
that IL is republicans who are Investigating
and exposing corruption in their own ranks
and We pledge our most hearty support to
the good and true republicans who are
carrying on this Investigation

Rebuke. for Petti-rew.

The fight this year is going to be on the
senatorship. South Dakota republicans in
tend to administer a telling rebuke to Sen
ator Pettigrew, who was elected as a repub-
lican, but proved a traitor to the party and
bolted the st. Louis platform because 1t
did not declare for the silver standard. Pet
tigrew's present term expires in March, 1901,
and the legislature elected this fall will
choose his successor at it's meeting next
January.
1--WE do not know just whom we will Sc
lect to beat Pettigrew. Probably the strong
est man in the state is Robert j. Gamble,
one of our present congressman. He has
not yet decided whether he will stand for a
denomination for congress or be a candidate
for the senate. This complexities matters
somewhat. If Gamble is a candidate for
the senate then the Black Hills will in
sist upon naming his successor to congress
and one state officer. In this event Norman
T. Mason, one of the brainy young lawyers
of Deadwood. will seek the congressional
nomination.
"If Gamble Is not a candidate for the SEN
ate the Black Hills will bring forward a
man to defeat Pettigrew. Among the per-
sons prominently mentioned are ex-senator
Moody, who is now the general attorney for
lLb IlOuleSldhe "lHlu6 COMPANY van
else and Eben w. Martin of Deadwood.
"Pettigrew will be a candidate for the
fusion nomination to succeed himself and
will make the fight of his life. He has
been organizing his forces for the past two
years. Altgeld went through the state last
week and opened Pettigrew's campaign. Pet
tigrew is a free silver republican, but his
political following is not az strong as his
personal following. This, however, is con-
fined entirely to the ranks of the fusionists.
The fusionists in the Black Hills are
all split up in their choice for a congress
sional candidate. Judge Joseph B. Moore,
the man who prayed that the God of battles
should sustain Aguinaldo's army. and eX-
Congressman Freeman Knowles are candi-
dates for the nomination. Both own news
papers, the former controlling a daily paper
at Lead, Moore's paper has openly brought
its proprietor out as a candidate, while
Knowles is secretly booming himself for his
old congressional berth. This fight merely
furnishes a diversion to the people of the
Black Hills, however, for II is well known
that neither stands the least show of cleo

As to Politics.

politics are beginning to warm up con-
siderably in South Dakota and the Black
Hills is a veritable hotbed Of politics, es-
pecially from a republican standpoint. That
section of the state is accorded every con
sideration by the politicians of South Da-
kota for the reason that we control the
balance of power, owing to the dense pop
ulation and the big vote we cast. In 1896
the Black Hills surprised the entire coun-
try by going strongly for free silver. The
surprise was occasioned because that sec
ton produces such a great amount of gold,
the biggest gold mine in the United States
the Homestake-being located there. Well,
this was explained by the miners, who as
serted that they voted for the silver standard
thinking that the silver mines in the west
would open up and furnish employment for
many of their fellow miners then out OF
work. Since that time the republican ad-
miuistration has given employment to all OF
the men who were then out of work and in
1897 there was a complete reversal of polit-
ical sentiment and the Black Hills rolled up
a preponderous republican vote.
South Dakota will go republican next
fall by at least 5000. In 1898 we elected all
the republican state officers exceut our can
didate for governor, Kirk G. Phillips. One
of the reasons for his defeat was attributable
to the charge brought against him that dur
ing his term as state treasurer he had loaned
the states money and appropriated the pro-
ceeds to his own Use. The fusionist candi-
date, Andy Lee, was a scandinavian and he
succeeded in carrying the large Scandinavian
vote of the state.

n voting place within "A block of the south
end of the ward, leaving some of the voters
a matter of forty blocks or thereabouts

friends in the south end of the ward are at

AFTER PETTIGREW'S SCALP
South Dakota Republicans Propose to Punish
Their Recreant Senator.
NOT IN TOUCH WITH HIS SILVER IDEAS
Editor Bonhnm of Dendwood Outlines
the Policy of His Party In the
Campaign to he Fought
This Year.

w. II. Bonham, one OF the successful
newspaper men and prominent political lead
ers of South Dakota, is visiting in Omaha
for the first time in several years. Mr..
Bonham is the editor OF the Deadwood Daily
Pioneer-Times, the most influential repub-
lican organ in his state. For the last TWEEN
ty-one years he has been a resident OF
Deadwood, during most CT which time he has
been in the newspaper business, and has
witnessed the growth Of the Black Hills
from a rugged and undeveloped mining re-
gion into one Of the richest mineral sec
tions in the United States.
The Black Hills" said MIR. Bonham
Wednesday night, lis enjoying its full share
Of the prosperity which is prevalent in the
country at this time. Business throughout
the entire section is very good and is i'm
proving noticeably. All the towns are grow
ing and Deadwood has already developed into
a substantial commercial center. The Black
Hills, as is well understood, is primarily a
mineral country and prospects were never
better than at present. Old mining districts
which had been abandoned have been re-
opened and are now being re-worked with an
abundance OF capital backing all enterprises.
Some districts that have never been pro-
ducers are now being successfully worked"
"A number of Colorado capitalists have
become interested in property in the Black
Hills during the last year and are spending
a great deal of money in carrying on their
operations. The best part of 1t, too, is that
the returns are more than satisfactory to
them. Within the last few months a rich
belt of phonolite has been discovered in the
heart of the richest mining district adjacent
to Deadwood. This is three by five miles in
area and the Colorado capitalists who are
interested in 1t state that the deposit is
identical to the rich Cripple Creek phon-
olite.
There is no boom in the Hills now. All
the investments are being made with a view
to permanency. And, by the way, the Ga
lena district which sprung into great prom
inence not a great while ago by reason of
the connection with it of Frances c. Cradle,
is coming to the front again. The Penn
sylvania capitalists whom Cradle interested
in that district before his collapse. are work
ing the mines and are by no means discour-
aged with the outlook.

Don't All Think Alike

During political campaign some
years ago Hon. james G.. Blaine, the
great statesman, was making speech
before a large audience In "a town In
Maine when an old gentleman, who had
often said, 1.-THE folks u this state ARE II
pack o fools" because they didn't be-
lieve as he did interrupted Mr.. Blaine
twice during the speech The second
time some Of the rougher element OF
the audience were determined tO eject
the interruptcr, but the "Plumed
Knight" stopped them and said: "This
man Is an American citizen. He has
just as good right to his opinion AS you
or |. Never molest II man because he
does not think rs we do"
Occasionally we find men who are
vindictive, and would even shut of the
bread and butter from fellow--if they
could-who does not think as they do,
or does not do the things they think he
ought 10 do. We should remember that
every American citizen has right 10
his opinion aud that men do not always
see things alike, and that the other fell
low may be just as honest In his views
as we are. II Is foolshncss for men To
become enemies because one don't do
what the other thinks he ought To do.
No man In this free land should attempt
to throttle freedom Of opinion and try
to compel others To thinks AS he does.
