as senator he will not onlyrepreseht
the Black Hills, but the entire state.
He is broad-minded, thoroughly trained
in all professional and business lore,
quick to comprehend the scope of any
situation, and would be satisfied only
as he studied and pressed upon the
senate the claims of South Dakota as a
whole. Mr.. Martin is a gentleman of
spotless character. His father was a
captain in the Union army, and himself
a lifelong republican. He is accom-
plished and attractive as a platform
speaker, and will be of immense value
in this particular during the pending
campaign. He cannot be bought, nor
sold. His convictions are his own. AS
a citizen, as a lawyer, and successful
business man, as a gentleman of char
acter and ability, MIR. Martin will unite
the Black Hills upon his candidacy,
and should he be chosen by the legisla-
ture next winter to the office of United
States Senator, a new and honorable
era will open before our young state in
it's attitude before the senate and be-
fore the entire country.-Deadwood

The Hot Springs STAR of last week
contained an able article favoring Hon.
Il. w. Martin of Deadwood for the
United States Senate, as successor to
Senator Pettigrew, whose term expires
next March. 1t appears to be general
ly understood that Messrs Gamble and
Burk will be re-nominatedfor congress
and that Mr.. Herried will be the nomi-
e for Governor, which program will
naturally give the senator to the Hills.
The Pioneer Times endorses the Star
editorial thus placing Nh. Martin to
the forefront as a very logical candi-
date for the highest office within the
gift of the republican party of South
Dakota. Mr.. Martin is one of the best
known men in the state and his fdel-
ity to the party has always been of the
staunchest character, yet liberal in
his views in matters political. By
uniting upon this candidate, the cleo
ton of Mr.. Martin can be easily &C.
complished.-Bald Mountain News.

The Black Hills republicans seem to
be coming to a more definite under
standing about what they want this
coming election. There has been
a good deal of uncertainty for some
time whether to ask for Il senator
or a congressman, but there now
seems to be a settled feeling that
Mr.. Gamble will not stand for the
senate, in which case the Black Hills
republicans will claim that Office aud
they would be conceded it by the re-
publicans of the eastern part of the
state. There have been a good many
"prospective' candidates from the diff.
ferent cities of the Hills, for either the
office of senator or congressman. In
the past few days sentiment seems to
have conferred upon E. w. Martin, an
attorney of Deadwood for senator. He
is being taken up by the republican pa
pers of the entire Black Hills, especial
ly in Fall River county, which is in
the most southern part of the Hills.
The outside Black Hills towns have
quite generally conceded the senator
ship to a Deadwood man. A number
of the leading republicans from the
eastern part of the state are in Dead
wood at present attending court. They,
speaking for the party across the river,
concede a senator to the Black Hills.
Mr.. Martin, who will probably be the
man for the place, is popular all over
the Hills, and he would be ableto unite
all of the counties with Lawrence
county. -Deadwood cor. Sioux City
