They want Votes.
Aherdeen Mons.

Senator Pettigrew is now engaged IN
an effort to stir up rebellion in Cuba by
telling the Cubans to their faces that
President Mckinley intends to play
them false. Pettigrew and his crowd
succeeded in footing the Filipinos and
getting these misguided people to make
a political issue for them, and they think
no doubt, thew can play the same game
on the Cubans. They probably figure
that with a rebellion in Cuba and the
rainy season coming on, the resulting
horrors would rebound TO their advan-
tage in the summer and fall campaign.
The lives lost and the suffering would be
matters Of small nee to those des-
perate manipuIators if they could sue
coed in gaining a few votes.

election of delegates 10 the Republican
National Convention, who will not only
favor but who will work for the renom-
nation of President William Mckinley.
We believe in the enactment of such
laws as will prevent the formation of
combinations for the purpose of c~ontroll-
ing the price and limiting the production
of any article TO the injury of our
country or its people and in the enact
ment OF laws for the suppression OF all
unlawful and hermful trusts and combi-
nations.
We do hereby commend the patriotism
and bravery Of our soldiers, as displayed,
both in the war with Spain and in the
Philippines, and point with pride to
their deeis of yalor. Their acts are in
striking contrast with the spirit shown
by the supporters of Aguinaldo and the
traducers OF our Country's Flag.
We are opposed &c the policies ad-
vocated by senator Pettigrew, because
they are un-American, and in conflict
with the great principles upon which
this government stands. He is the adj
vocatr of treason aud renders aid and
comfort TO the enemies of his )untry.
He has become a traitor TO his govern
ment, a traitor TO the state he represents
and a traitor to the party which elected
him in 1895. He is guilty of treason
and a disgrace 10 all men.
We hereby instruct delegates TO
the State Convention TO use every honor
able menas to secure the nomination of
Hon. c. n. Hrrried for Governor of the
State of South Dakota, and 10 secure the
denomination Of Hon. G. III. Burke as
Representative of congress.
The following delegates and a~lt-rnates
were elected 10 attend the Republican

His Cloud has a Silver Lining.

There is a report that Gov. Lind Is to
be returned to South Dakota TO help ont
the Pettigrew cause. About twenty-five
men have been engaged in this work for
several weeks. Bryan's presence In the
Black Hills last week was largely in the
same interest. If our senior senator
could get a glimpse of the effect which
his frantic eff )rts is having upon the
sober, conservative people of South
Dakota, he would stop and wonder
"where he is at" Even the fact that he
stands closer to the silver trust than any
other man in either branch of congress
and can command great financial support
he will not be able, this year TO deoauch
