H. H. Lorrimer will be the choice of
the republicans for constable of this
precinct.
In all probability we will be able to
say in the next issue of this paper that
Harrison and Morton are elected.
A Washington dispatch to the Pioneer
Press says the charges against Governor
Church will not be considered by the
president. If this is true the Day wing
of Dakota democracy will certainly pray
for the defeat of Cleveland.
A justice of the peace is to be elected
for this precinct next Tuesday. So far
,0. W. Jewett is the only person that has
been named for the position, and as a
matter of fact it is unnecessary to look
further for a candidate for the place as
Mr. Jewett has always made an accepta
'blt official in that capacity.
The republicans of Converse county,
Wyoming, have nominated Major E. P.
Cliamplin of Douglas for probate judge
and
county treasurer, and it is the wish
ol the major's many friends in the Hills
that he may be elected. Mr. Champlin
is an excellent business man, an enter
prising citizen, and a gentleman in every
sense of the word.
It appears from the Hot Springs Star
that Dr. Stewart's letter was not pub
lished in full last week in the Record, a
portion being omitted that more fully
explained the stand taken by the writer.
If all men were as true to their friends
in politics as well as other matters as we
have found Dr. Stewart to be for sixteen
years past, there would be less cause for
oomplaint in either political or soeial cir
cles.
Jack Hale's sheep herder is too young
in Black Hills politics to know much
about the past history of this county.
The charges he makes that the republi
cans are responsible for the heavy debt
hanging over this county, are without a
shadow of truth. The fact of the matter
is, and everyi intelligent taxpayer in the
county knows it, during the past four
years of. republican rule the affairs of
Lawrence county have been, managed
more eoonomicaUy than at any previous
period. The 8650,000 indebtedness was
created under a democratic administra
tioD,.a» the foots will show upon investi

prising citizen, but it is his misfortune
that he was a memberr of the territorial
legislature from this district in 1881, at
which session he supported several meas
ures, in the interest of monopolies, that
became laws, viz: the act exempting the
counties of the Black Hills from the
herd law, passed to the detriment of set
tlers the act allowing banks and other
moneyed corporations of the Hills to
charge any rate of interest they desired,
abolishing the usury clause in this dis
trict also the passage of the act allow
ing Judge Moody extra salary while on
the bench.. While Hale's- sheep herder
is howling through the Tilford Times
about the financial condition of Law
rence county, it will be observed that he
is deathly silent in regard to Mr. Hale's
legislative experience. Porter Warner
was a member of the same legislature,
hence the silence of the Deadwood
Times and from th»tact several stock
holders in the Pioneer have reaped some
of the benefits from these special acts
that sheet has nothing to say against the
democratic nominee. Another newspap
per in Lawrence county is also in a posi
tion that it cannot work squarely against
Hale.
It was a democratic administration
that created the big debt on Lawrence
county.

RAILROAD SURVEY.
Sturgis To Be the Starting Point—A Llpe
Being Located to Bald Mountain.
A few weeks since Mr. J. W. Andrews
quietly dropped into Sturgis and an
nounced that he came among us to sell
Wyoming coal, but no one believed that
was his real motive in locating here, and
his movements were closely observed.
Mr. Andrews' prominent connection
for years with the F., E. & M. V. road,
as locating engineer, gave cause for be
lief that he was stationed here in the in
terest of some railway corporation, al
though it was known that he had not
been in the employ of the Elkhorn line
for some time past. Ten or fifteen days
after Mr. Andrews arrived in Sturgis, L.
G. Johnson came in with his chief engi
neer over the projected line to the Hills
from Mandan, and secured his services,
but it is known that Mr. Andrews did lit
tle, if any, work for Johnson's company.
One day last week matters assumed an
entire different shape, which look exceed
ingly favorable for the completion of a
road from Sturgis to the interior of the
Hills. Mr. Andrews received instruc
tions from a source unknown to the pub
lic to organize a surveying party and
begin work at this point a locate a line
to Bald mountain via Galena, and in ac
cordance with these instructions Mr. An
drews commenced work Monday morn
ing, the money to pay for the survey be
ing on deposit in the First National bank
of Sturgis.
While Mr. Andrews is very positive
the road will be built at an early day, he
is quite reticent as the company backing
the enterprise. It is his opinion that
this is the most practical route to reach
all the paying mining camps, and as his
belief is largely formed from actual ob
servations, |nd being a man of excellent
judgment, this survey has much signifi
cance for the city of Sturgis, the Key
City of the Blaok Hills.
From Stnrgis.
From a gentleman engaged in busi
ness in the above-named city we have
learned that from a business standpoint
this enterprising town has changed won
derfully for the better within the past
month. The new arrangment of paying
off the troops at Ft. Meade, monthly, has
proven a great benefit to the town in
every way. The gentleman further says'
that the present quartermaster, although
at first disliked, has proven himself to
be "Old business personified." After
contractors deliver their goods to him
their vouchers are forthcoming immedi
ately, no long line of red-tape being
gone through with as formerly. Vouch
ers ou the wood and hay contracts are
coming in rapidly and everybody seems
to have money.
The city bonds have been sold in Chi
cago, and the subscriptions advanced by
the citizens of the city for purchase of
fire aparatus have been refunded, The
bank is doing more business than at any
time in the past, and all business men
have great confidence in the future. The
gentleman interviewed- olaims that a
great deal' of money is being brought
into the country tilrough the shipment
of such large quantities

Word came to The Journal last night
of a crime whioh for vindictive cruelty
surpasses anything ever recorded in this
county. It is the poisoning of thirty
head of fine cows belonging to Martin of
Palmer's gulch. That the animals were
poisoned those who saw them have the
least doubt. While no positive evident
has perhaps been found to connect any
one with the crime, a feud of long
standing is generally oonsidered to have
furnished the motive.—Journal,,
