| would tempt him to sacrifice his bust
ness interests at the present time. He be.
lieves that the republicans of the Hills
should come to an early agreement up
on the question of senator and congress
man.
Among the other candidates resid-
ing in Deadwood, who have been men
toned prominently for either the SEN
atorship or congress, are Edwin Van
Cise, Norman Il. Mason, a partner of h.
w. Martin, ex-senator Moody, j. w.
Fowler and others. There is one quss-
ton upon which al republicans Of the
Hills are united, and that is that Sen
ator Pettigrew must be defeated. They
realize that he will make the fight OF
his life, and already some of his shrewd
tactics of war are commencing to show
themselves. 1t is stated, for one thing,
that he is about to establish weekly
newspaper Office in Custer, the first is
sue of which will appear this week. 1t
is also reported that he, with others, has
furnished the capital for putting in the
new linotype, presses and bookbindsry
of the Lead Daily Call, amounting to
something like 100000. All of the
fusion papers are commencing to boom
the senator editorially, and it appears
that he has well laid plans for the cam
paign. The cry Of the republicans of
the Hills is for "unity," which will with
out question, get what they want"
The Pioneer-Times in commenting
upon the above article, says: While it
is somewhat misleading to say that
Messrs. Martin, Van Cise, Mason,
Moody, and Fowler are candidates" for
the senate or lower house either Of
them would be satisfactory for either
place. To say that man is candidate
implies that he is seeking the Office, and
none of the gentlemen named are do
ing that. If the republicans Of the
Hills should give one of them an un-
solicited endorsement they might seri-
ously consider it. w. g. Rice has also
been mentioned as a possibility and a
probability. While on this subject, the
Pioneer-Times urges the republicans Of
the Black Hills to hold an early con-
ference and determine what they want,
and who they went, and then demand
it. There is no reason why they should
await the pleasure Of some one over the
river. They are entitled to a senator
and should demand it. The state can
not be carried without their help and
the tender of secretary Of state as our
share of the spoils is an insult. 1t
should not receive moments consider
alton. 1t may be very flattering to the
person named for that office, who, by
the way, is competent and all that, but
the game is too small.

Representative Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania, who attained great prominence
in the Fifty-fourth congress by his ear
nest championship of free silver, assail-
ed his democratic colleagues few days
ago, in a speech delivered in the house
of representatives. for their opposition
to expansion. He insisted that expan-
sion was an original democratic doctrine
promulgated by Jefferson and adhered
to by Madison, Jackson, Tyler, Polk and
Buchanan. Mr.. Slbley has recanted
his views on free silver, and is now gen
orally out of line with his colleagues on
the democratic side.

the full amount of salary the same as
county auditor, although the fees receiv-

Silver Wedding.

The happisst social event OF the sea-
son was the surprise party given to Mr..
and Mrs. Henry A. Albien, on the even
ing of February 7th. 1900, by the Custer
Camp No. 6S7 Of the Royal Neighbors of
America. On this occasion Mr.. and
Mrs. Albien completed the twenty-fifth
year of their married life. 1t is need
less to say they were completely and
agreeably surprised. A most enjoyable
evening was spent in games, music and
conversation. A delicious repast was
served by the invading party. and the
company dispersed at late hour, wish
ing the happy couple many returns OF
the day.
Mrs. Albisn wa5 made the recipient
of one dozen silver spoons, on hand-
some silver tray, and gold lined bon
bon dish. Mr.. Albien was presented
with box Of choice cigars, and box
of the best parlor matches, During the
presentation of the gifts Mrs. Wilkinson
read the following poem which she had
prepared especially for the occasion.
To Mr.. and Mrs H. A.. Albien on their
Silver Anniversary.
Dear Friends, we greet you kindly
On this, your wedding night,
Full iye-and-twenty years have passed,
Since you your troth did plight
And so we come with greetings,
Most hearty, glad and gay,
TO TO Wish S you JQy ana happiness,
And we are glad that time
Has touched each one so lightly,
And hope that all the coming years
VIII pass for you as brightly.
This is your Silver Wedding Day,
There's silver in your hair,
May silver In your purse be found,
And never be wanting there.
We trust your days of "spooning"
Have long since passed away,
But hope these spoons will please you,
On this your Wedding Day.
And these bon-bons sweet we bring you,
May you find them good and toothsome,
Each one sweeter than its mate was,
Each one better than the last one.
1t is the usual custom
For the groom to give the "smoke,"
But we've reversed the matter,
just simplyfor joke.
And so we do beseech of you
To puff, and puff, and puff,
And hope you'll think these "2-fers"
Are plenty good enough.
These matches were not made in heaven,
AS we trust that yours has been,
SO as you scratch each little match be careful
where you throw it,
For many ablaZe has come from the rays Of
little birthstone match.
And now with kindest greeting
We close this little lay,
And hope TO meet and greet you

AS proof of the hot time they are
experiencing in the first district read
these choice extracts from as many
different papers:
The town X has taken the
contract to deliver the town to y
\ and he openly states that he
has five gallons of whiskey on tap and
he uses 1t as freely as the air he
brcathes. If there were any posi-
bic concealment about the matter or
any denial as to it's purpose, 1T would
not seem such lIagrant outrage up
on public sentiment, but he openly
brags about the quantity he received
and the purpose for which he is using
it
The supporters Of y *.*
were cnterpriSing tc the last degree
in \ At the caucus there
were 15l Page supporters rakcd to-
gether from the town. The Powers
forces polled 22l votes, makinga total

than had ever voted in the town, re-
publicans, democrats, populists, pro-
hlhitionists, grecnbackers and all.

Plumley or Haskins.

The Randolph Herald, one of the
strongest Dillingham; papers in the
state, has this to say concerning the
contest in this congressional district
"lt is between Plumley and Has.
kins.
Unless the altogether unexpected
happens, the next Congressman from
this district will be either Hon. Frank
Plumley Of Northteld or Hon. kit.
tredge Haskins Of Brattleboro.
Both are good men, good citizens,
good Republicans:
There is little to choose between
them in respect to character, ability
and record Of party service.
Both are honorcd at home and
wherever known. Both are prominent
in public life. Both are leading law.
ycrs at the bar. Both have given
freely Of their time and energy in
support of Republican principles. Both
have justified that reward by faithful
service.
Both want to go to Congress. In
fortunately for one of them, but one
Of them can 90 this time.
1t becomes necessary to choose be-
tween them.
While fully admitting that Col. Has
kins has strong CLAIMS, we cannot set
aside the qualifications of Mr.. Plum
ley.
We know him to be Just as firm in
the Republican faith as his rival: Just
as clean and upright IN his private
life: just as strong in his adherence to
correct principles.
Placing the two men on an exact
equality as to everything else. we be.
lieve that Mr.. Plumley'S superior
physical ability would enable him to
serve the district better than Mr..
Haskins who has passed the zenith of
his strength.
Mr.. Pllmley is old enough to have
the benefit of a wide experience in
public life. His natural tastes and
talents are such as to tit him admira-
bly, for seat IN Congress, and these
have been cultivated by a long course
of training. Vermont has an excl
lent habit of continuing good men in
Congress when She gets them. Ought
she not, then, to take the younger and
more vigorous Of two men otherwise
equal to start with?
If Mr.. Plumley does excel Mr.. Has
kins in any other particular it is in
possessing somewhat calmer Judgment
and superior powers as a ready deba-
tcr-admirab]y qualities in a Con-
gresham.
In this section, Mr.. Plumley is bet
ter known and has more personal &C
Quaintances than Col. HasknS. He
lives nearer to us and it seems natural
to expect that where he is SO we'll and
favorablv known he will be given an
earnest and loyal support.
