Every Democrat who votes for Renmel will make a mistake. He is a nice-looking man, but behind this fine exterior is imperialism, high tariff, the gold standard, and negro domination. Mir. Remmel is a nice Republican, but if he is cleo ted he must cater to Republicans. If the sheriff of this county should die during. his term of office Rem mel would of course appoint Re publican to the office and that of iicer would probably have a negro deputy.

1871 Now Before Congress and It's
Relation 90 the Courts.
Pierre, s. D., Jan.23.--A bad fentstre
OK the bill now pending In the house
and senate nc Warrington providing
for the time and place Of holding
terms of the United States circuit and
district courts Of South Dakota is the
provision that all cases arising In a
particular division must be tried at
the place designated for holding court
IN that division. Under this provision
OF the proposed change, should III be
made by congress. IL ID not difilcult to
see that gross injustice would be done
Offenders against the laws of the Unit
ed States on persons charged with so
offending, AS an illustration, IL the
time for holding a term Of the federal
court Ia one Of the five proposed places
other than Sioux Falls-the residence
OF the federal Judge and his court at.
taches--in May and December OF each
year, jury or other cases, arising from
that particular division could not be
disposed Of In any other division. In
the event that an alleged offender is
arrested, for instance, just after the
conclusiontof the May term, he would,
if held FOR trial and unable to furnish
bonds, be compelled to lie in Jail until
the regular term of court in the fol-
lowing December before he could be
adiudged guilty or innocent, notwith-
standing that In the meantime terms
OF federal court have been held an
several of the other divisions.
Again, II the person arrested just
after the conclusion OF the May term
should desire to plead guilty, he could
not do so until the December tern OF
court unless the United States Judge
should proceed to the place designated
for holding court In that particular
division for the sole purpose Of receiy-
ing his plea-a course which would
not be reasonable or consistent In
view of the duties of tile Judge else
where. Thus the person desiring to
plead guilty and have the charge
against him disposed OF could not do
SO until the regular December term.
AS II now Is, any one desiring to plead
guilty and have the charge against
him disposed of could not do so until
the regular December term. AS IL now
is, any one desiring TO plead guilty
can come before Judge Garland in
Sioux Falls at any time and have his
plea received and sentence pro-
nounccd. In addition To other objec-
tlonabie features, the great additional
expense which would result from the
proposed legislation lis also an argu-
ment against the proposed action of

BAILEY DISCUSSES BRYAN.
Texan Defines His Political Attitude
In n Letter.


in Letter.
Dallas, Tex, Jan. 20.--William 7,
Hawkins, Of Gatesyille, recently wrote
Congressman w, Bailey 20 state his
political attitude toward William j.
Bryan. Under date of January 10 Mr..
Bailey writes from Washington in part
as follows; #
i'The statement that / declined to
accept the nomination for congress in
1896 because L disagreed with the Chi.
cago platform is absolutely false. The
fact is that / was perhaps the first
man in the United States to give my
.unuualihed Endorsement to that plat
form as whole and In al its parts.
ut is true, however, that dis
agreed with Mr.. Bryan upon some
questions and frankly said so to my
constituents | wrote n letter dseiin-
ing the nomination for congress and
to q meeting OF the people which was
held at my home fully stated my rea-
sons. The same meeting adopted res
omtions insisting that / should ac-
cept d denomination, and the demo
cratic convention of that district re-
nominated me by rising and unani-
nous vote.
"The questions ON which differed
with Mr.. Bryan were outside OF the
Chicago platform, and, In my judg-
ment, they could not be put into any
democratic platform. Since his nom-
ination for president in 1896 Mr.. Bryan
has had the good sense to keep within
the declarations OF his party, and as
long as he does that he will find no
supporter who ~ more loyal than 4
am. / have not. however, changed my
opinion IN the least about the ques-
tions on which ] formerly differed
with him; and II he should attempt to
commit the democratic party TO his
support Of those propositions, would
undoubtedly oppose him again.
"It might interest YOU further 70
know that peither Senator Chiffon nor
his friends will dare 10 stand up before
the democrats of Texas and declare
that lam wrong on the questions with
which / have differed with Mr.. Bryan.
They seels an unfair advantage by
coneealing from the people the points
Of difference, while laying great stress
upon the difference itself.
tThey win not be able to make
much by this method Of campaigning
.ssIien the whole truth Is laid before
the people.
