Beginning to Hedge,

The republicans begin to see the
handwriting on the wall. They did
their utmost to make their Teddy
Roosevelt blowout set the fusionists
on the run, but failed. The coming
fusion rally at Deadwood on Novem-
Der 3rd will knock the Roosevelt
demonstration silly and the Sulus
are hedging, as the following Dead
wood special shows. It says:
THE fusionists are planning to
have two grand rallies yet before
election. The first will be the night
OF November 3 in this city, and the
other at Lead the night before cleo
ton. The demonstration will prob
ably be larger than that Of the re-

S. {. YOUNG BACKS DOWN.
Refused to Hold Joint Debate with ]
A. Ross ON Monday Night and Run
AWaY.

On September 19, Prof. Ross was
billed TO speak at Bjorgan school
house, and upon his arrival was ask
ed to divide time with Hon. S. E.
Young In joint debate. Mr.. Ross
then challenged Mr.. Young to joint
debate in this city, but the county
committee said that Mr.. Ycung's 5
time belonged to the state commit
the and his assignments were in 9TH
er parts OF the state than this. A
challenge to the state committee re-
ceived no response.
Monday night Mr.. Ross asked
for division Of time with Mr..
Young at the Berg school house and
it was refused. Mr.. Young said
Mr.. Ross might talk, if any one
would listen to him, after he, Young,
was through. He then proceeded to
talk, as he himself said, much longer
than he intended to-almost till IL
o'clock-but the crowd, much to the
chargin OF the chairman and speak.

sat for an hour while Mr.. Ross show
ed up the trust question in its true
light and history, and proceeded to
prove by supreme court decisions
and such eminent republicans as
Lincoln, Seward, Boutwell, and
others. including Mr.. Roosevelt, that
the position af tho republican party
on the question of imperialism is
contrary to the institutions Of our
government and the principles held
by the republican party itself. His
speech bore immediate fruit, and
MIR. Ross hopes to follow it with q
further showing up Of the imperial
question and the financial bill of
March IA, 1900, before the cam paign
ends. He also asked Mr.. Young, as
the state committee had assigned
him to this county, to hold joint de-

why REFLECT pE11leREW7
A Union Contribute Answers the
Question oi the Journals Anti.
Pettigrew Editor.

''Why re-elsct PettiRrew?" asks
the Journal, and then it gives the
reasons for his re election sufficient
to satisfy any true American. But
in order that the Journal may have
some specific reasons besides those
it gave, we submit the following:
Re-elect Senator Pettigrew be-
cause Of the great interest he has al
ways taken in any and all matters
beneficial to the state of South Dako-
Ia.
Because he has defended the cause
Of the common people against the
aggressicns Of greed during the past
six years as no other man has.
He tried to break the power Of the
trusts by Offering an amendment to
the Dingley tariff, placing all trust
controlled products on the free list,
which would have reduced the price
Of such articles to we common peo-
pie from 20 to 100 per cent.
He opposed the infamous currency
law enacted last March which, when
in full operation, will have taken all
of the peoples money from them
and substituted system of money
which compels both the governmen,
and the people to pay tribute to the
banking trust.
He fought valiantly for the release
of 700 miners who were herdcd in !
filthy bull pen BY negro troops o
the U. S. army out in Idaho for sew
len long months without trial.
He opposed with alT the vigor o
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1900-11-02

his American manhood an increase
in the standing army, which adds
taxation to the burdens of the peo-
pie and encourages the fatal spirit
of militarism.
He has shown the patriotic spirit
of the statesman of l776 in his hero
ic fight against the destruction and
reputation of our governmental
ideals, the tearing into shreds the
Declaration OF Independence and the
violation and trampling under foot
of our constitution by the CONNER
cial hogs who dominate the republi-
can party today, led by Mark Hanna,
the hoggiest hog Of them all, who
has stood for two long years charg-
ed with bribing his way into the
United States Senate.
He has stood for the principle
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent Of the gov
erned," and has bitterly opposed
that un-A American and inhuman pol
icy OF the administration in the Phil
ippines.
For these and q thousand OF other
reasons Senator Pettigrew should
be reelected to the national senate.
Shame on the laborinRmen, the
farmer or the small producer who
will turn his back, upon the one man
who has fought for, his rights as few
men have, and rally to the support
Of Mark Hanna aud his crowd, who
never miss an opportunity to nlund-
er the common people through trusts
and other corrupt combines!
Turn Senator Pettigrew down il
you like, but before you do it ask
yourself, sole.nnly and seriously,
what will become of you when the
voice of such men as Pettigrew are
no longer heard in the senate iu
your defense, and your interests are
left to the tender mercies of such
scoundrels as Mark Hanna and the
gang of human vultures who domin
ate the republican party today. ~.

must be reelected to represent / '
The election of Edmund Smith a.
state senator aud Thomas ]. GrivRs
and Daniel R. Norris as representa-
t:ves from Pennington county 10 the
only way in which to re.elect SEN
ator Pettigrew. Can South Dakota
afford to defeat the man who has
done more for it than all other men
combined?--that is the question.
The defeat OF Senator Pettigrew
would be the most severe misfortune
that could befall the state. Your
duty to the state and to yourself
bids you vote for Messrs Smith,
Griggs and Norris.
So far us the county ticket is con-
cerned, cleaner ticket has never
been presented to the voters OF PEN
nington county. Elsewhere in this
issue Of The UNION is outlined what
q fusion administration has done
for Pennington county since gaio-
ing control of county affairs, What
1t has done is the best criterion BY
which to Judge what it will dc. THE
Union especially urges the election
OF Chas. P. Title for county treas
urer and Geo. w. Palmer for COM
missioner for the Second district,
The cash system has been the prin-
cipal factor in reducing the county
debt and raising the price Of county
warrants. Should the republican
candidate for county treasurer be
elected he could refuse to pay cash
for current expenses AND HE WOULD,
as he is opposed to this cash system.
Such action would at once block the
Improvement in the credit and af-
fairs OF Pennington county and the
debt would begin to increase at
once. The entire proposition rests
upon the commissioner board and
county treasurer, hence the impor-
tance of electing the fusion candi-
dates for treasurer and commissions
err.
And now q word in conclusion.
You are not voting for men, but
FOR WHAT THOSE MEN, REPRESENT.
Letno republican candidate induce
you to support the republican ticket
or any candidate upon it. You are
not voting for "a personal friend"
ora good fellow" Let republican
candidates look to men Of their own
faith for support. The duty Of the
fusionist was never so clear as II is
this year. Vote the fusion ticket
straight. That is your duty. II
you wish to defeat republicanism
VOTE AGAINST IT from your precinct
officials to presidential electors.
There is no excuse for scratched
fusion ticket in Pennington county
this year. Do your duty, be . MAN
and vote the ticket straight. A
cross in the circle at the top Of III
ticket is all that is necessary.
The UNION appeals to you to sup.
port the party which has rescued
the credit Of Pennington county and
which is engaged in united effort
to rescue the credit of the American
nation. Be honest, be an American
and vote the fusion ticket in county,
state and nation.

According to present American
methods, Christ should have said
"Go ye into all the world and shoot
the gospel into every creature" ="
But Christ didn t preach that doc
trine. Then as His follower why
do you support that doctrine? The
Filipihos are as much Gods chill
dren as we are. He created them.
He placed them where they are, and
He planted in their nature that same
love for liberty and independence
that He placed in your heart and
mine. They do not want our gov
ernment over them and we are
shooting them down by the hun
dreds to force them into subjection.
1t is wrong, it is un-American, it is
un-C Christian and it 10 inhuman. 1t
is not Christlike and there is not a
christian in South Dakota but who
knows it is not. Yet when those
responsible for this human slaughter
stand up and defend this bloody
doctrine, the good christian sings
out his ''amen" to it all and joins
hands with his minister in voting to
continue it indefinitely.
Again, how can you, my christian

Life Sentence for Lynchers.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 22.-Four lynch
ers, white men, recognized as among
the leading citizens of Henderson
county, yesterday pleaded guilty before
Judge Lipscomb, at Palestine, in Ander-
son county, before whom they were to
be tried on change of venue, aud re-
ceived life sentences 10 the penitentiary.
They are former Justice of the Peace
Joseph WllkersoD, A. Johns, Samuel
Hall and John F. Gsddis. Eight white
men have been convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life for the
lypching on the night of May %, 1899,
of James, John and George HUMPHREYS,
white farmers, in what is known as
the lrsus-c-dsr district. Two Others,
Polk Weeks and John Grenshaw, turn
ed States evidence and will escape
punishment. The excuse for lynching
the Humphries brothers was that they
were "bad citizens and were harboring
criminals" The truth, however, ap-
peares to be that they knew too much
ABOUT Illicit stills aud other violations
of the law, and were put out of the way
on the theory that dead men tell nc
ales."
