printed in nearly every independ
ent paper in the slat e and rehearsed by
every independent orator who has been
here, but never a line or a word to tell
when Lincoln uttered them or where they
may be found in his public writings.
And there is a very good reason for not
telling this—the reason, that Abraham
Lincoln never uttered them! It come
from the same source is ti e Iuw i ainl
Kansas mortgiige debt ami currency con
traction stories which have been so
thoroughly exploded, and shows that
back in the inner group of these calami
ty spreaders is one of the most fertile
and able bodied liars that ever entered a
political campaign.
What can be said of the knaves who
not satisfied with talsifying the records
go to the consecrated gnnesot the na
tion's honored dead anil place in the
mouths ot the*) sleeping heroes senti
ments which they never expressed It
is the vilest kind of body-snatching, and
the men who have been forging the name
of the martyred president to these senti
ments must, show the proof that be utter
ed iheni or stand convicted ot the crime
The leaders of the independent move
nient were terribly woiried a chort time
ago that there wouldn't be a clean cam
paign, and from a recent Ruralist which
contained a cartoon of Major Pickler,
tarred and feathered and Imaging to a tree,
it mav be judged there was good grounds
tor their tears. The very body that the
Ruralist pretends to represent, the ('arm
ors alliance, demanded the nomination of
Major Pickler, only a year ago, and the
republ leans gladlyacceded to the demand.
This year the official organ ol the alliance
pictures the same man a fit subject for
a hanging bee. The cartoon was a coarse
Insult to an old soldier and a faithful
representative of the people, and shows
clearly to what extreme partisanship
these fellows go who have so loudly ory
ed out against a u tizan press. But then
the Ruralist would prefer see a man in
the governor's chair who sueake 1 around
and took out his naturalization papers
after he was nominated, rather than such
a man as Pickler in congress. They ask*
us to believe that the citizen of a mouth
is the tried and true patriot, and that
the man who faced death on the south
ern battle fieids is a traitor worthy of
hanging.
The capital question to the people of
this and adjoining counties should be one
of easy solution. Pierre asks our votes
on the one ground that she is nearer the
geographical center than Huron, but
when we consider that a large part of
the country lying west of the Missouri
river has been laid off as a permanent
Indiau reservation, even this claim is
knocked out from under her, and the
plain fact stares us in the face that
Huron is much nearer the geographical
center of what is really the stale of South
Dakola than is her contestant. But with
tho thinking people of the state the im
poriant point is not to place the capital
ai 1110 exact geographical center, but to
place it where it will be most convenient
to the people of the state
at large, and on
this point there cau be no disagreement.
The people decided this point of accessi
bility and convenienco long ago. and
without reference to the capita] aspira
tions of either town. Their decision is
illustrated in the large number of public
gatherings which have been held at
Huron, and the complete ignoring of
Pierre

gatherings is the best leas-on why it

appearance, and seems to be enjoying a

hp'erodox sentiments. Hrirg forth the
UhU ot torture and lay him on the rack,
a suitable place for these gather
ings. Huron lias been chosen 011 these
occasions for the very reason that she
was centrally and conveniently located
for meet-inns of the people, and Pierre
was ignored because of her inaccessibiliiy
and the extra expense and time which
would be requited to reach a city far re
moved irotn the great body of the people.
Because the state will have to hear much
of this extra expense in th
should be chosen as the state capital.

For the I ist. time in the campaign, so
far as the Argus Leader has observed,
the Pierre Capital has laid aside vituper
ation and complaints and essayed an
argilment in favor of Pierre as a place
for permanent capital.
The first point is this:
In the tirst place Pierre is the exact
geographical center of the stale, aijd ac
cordingly will always lie the most aceesssi
ble to all points in tho slate.
This statement proceeds
on the
assump
tion that the average voter is ignorant
of a most important fact, viz: that less
than one third of the great Sioux reser
vation was opened by congress hist
spring. The remainder is left a perma
nent Indian reserve. The geographical
center of the open state is therefore
about '25 miles west of Huron, and 80
east of Pierre. So far as the geographi
cal center argument goes it is favorable
to Huron. But everyone knows that the
important point to consider is the center
future if the! of population, anil that that will always
capital should tie located at Pierre is a he nearer Huron than Pierre. If a dozen
very good reason why the tax-payers railrords should be built to Pierre, and
place
should vote for Huron, and place the
seat of government at the city that the
people liavo instinctively made their
place of meeting when called upon to
.\oiice.
The Twin Brooks Suffrage club will
meet on Saturday evening Oct. 18, to
make arrangements for the supper and
literary entertainment to be given on

no mar. thinks they will, Huron would
be more accessible, hecau.-e she is closely
connected w ith aU parts of the state east
of the river, and because she is nearer to!
three fourths of the population than
Pierre.
Rev. J. C. Shelland, who has been ap
pointed pastor of the Abo'deen M. E
church, is a gentieman ol ripe scholar
ship and stands at the head of the list as
a prolound thinker and rhetorician. He
has been a resident of South Dakota
seven years, coming from the Wyoming
conference of the stale of Tennsylvani i.
His tirst charge was at Alexandria, wlif-e
he followed Rev. W. II. SellecK. He
was stationed at Vermillion for two
years and the last year at Milbmk.
