of Nantucket Shoals yesterday by the Off
GERS of the steamer Maine, which arrived

Maine encountered most peculiar weather
conditions when she was approaching the
shoals. The wind was strong from the
north-northwest. but far up in the sky the
clouds were spreading in all directions. Sud-
denly water spouts began to form, and
within few minutes scores of the towering
pillars of water were to be seen on all sides
of the steamer.
In many cases the spouts collapsed before
the formation was complete, and the sea
at their bases was churned to foam as they
fell The spouts continued to form and
spread until late in the evening.

Personal friendship should not en-
ter into a proposition Of this kind.
Some Of my warmest friends are also
friends of Senator Kittredge.
Moreover, / harbor no feeling of III
will towards the senator. Intelligent
people will always agree TO disagree
on public questions, men and meas
ures.
Politically Senator Kittredge stands
for everything / am opposed to. He
is by temperament, association and
training q stalwart Of the same stripe
as Spooner, Platt, Depew, Aldrich
and Guggenhelmer.
He is opposed to self-government.
He is against direct primary nom
nations, equal taxation, anti-free-
pass, and all the laws passed in the
interest of the people by the last state
legislature.
He is opposed to progress and re-
form.
When the city of Sioux Falls was
run by gamblers and grafters, he new
err raised his voice in protest; but, on
the contrary, he fought the people of
this city in their demand for a
change through his personal organ
and federal office holders.
He has fought the president in the
senate, and he has been and is now
fighting his W party organization
and party administration through his
personal organ, In a manner that
ought to make every descent citizen
blush with same. Abuses are no
arguments; continued scolding don't
convince anybody of anything except
1t should be the true nature of the
solder.
He has never done a single thing
for this city Or for the state at large.
On what ground he asks US to keep
him In the senate another term, he
does not say. The people all over the
state are well aware Of all this and
more too, and you will find that when
the ballots are all counted on the eve
of the primary next June. Senator
KEttredge will be retired and Gov.
Crawford nominated as his successor
with a majority that will astonish
you all.
/ know what l am talking about.
l don't get my information from the
politicians or the disappointed office
seekers. / get my information direct
from the people.
The state OF South Dakota will in
the future be represented in the
United States senate by a man Of
such conspicuous ability that We all
will be proud of Senator Crawford.
