The soldiers borne at Hot Springs will

Wyoming held its first state election
last Thursday, resulting in the success
of the entire republican ticket by major
ities ranging from 1,500 to 2,000. The
Mormons voted with the republicans.
The ADVERTISES is in receipt of the
"Admission Day Edition" of the San
Francisco Examiner, from F. H. Harberd.
The paper contains twenty-four 'pages,
illustrated, and is devoted to matters
commemorative of the fortieth anniver
sary of the admission of the state of Cal
ifornia.
The election of Dr. A. E. Glough of
Madison for chairman of the state cen
tral committee seems to have been a wise
choice. He is a staunch republican, a
good citizen and a successful practic
ioner, which latter qualification has al
ready aided him to considerable extent
in making a correct diagnosis of the re
spective cases of the democratic and in
dependent parties of South Dakota.
Assistant United States District Attor
ney Howard of Bedfield writing from
Deadwood to the Observer, has the fol
lowing pleasant things to say of a Hills'
statesman: "Have been royally enter
tained by Sol Star and other friends here.
Star is one of the most genial and
straightforward politicians I have ever
met and that reminds me that Spink
county is under great obligations to the
Hills for Taylor's nom nation."
Brother Hippie of the Parkston Advo
cate is a patriot. He was a candidate
before the late republican state conven
tion for auditor, but he was not the
choice of that body for the office. Yet
he is one of the most enthusiastio repub
lican newspaper men in the state and will
render the party muoh valuable assist
ance in his county. That little swell
head from Minnehaha could get soi
good political lessons from Mr. Hippie.
A prominent alliance worker of Kings
bury county has the following to say ii
the Iroquois Chief: *'It cannot be die
pelled that if onehalf the effort employed
now by the independent office seeker had
been put forth by the farmers every of
fice could have been filled with men of
our choice. I sincerely depreciate this
fool move because any organized effort
of agriculturists in the future will be
with great difficulty, secured or main
tained and shall impatiently await the
time when reason will again have re
sumed her sway."
The Black Hills Methodist college at
Hot Springs opened last week with twen
ty-four pupils, which number is higher
than usual at the beginning of these
western places of learning. The faculty
of this new educational institution is
composed of some of the best material to
be found, and the success of the school
is well assured. By the way, the ADVEB
TISER would suggest that the people of
the Hills give more attention to the edu
cational facilities they have at home be
fore sending their children down east to
fill them up with dude ideas, Yankee
notions and malaria. Some of these
young "graduates" can learn things yet
at the Spearfish normal, as there are no
"flies" on that popular institution.
A movement is under way among the
leaders of the two respective parties to
consolidate the democratic and independ
ent state tickets. Should the scheme
succeed Loucks will be dropped, pre
sumably for the reason that he only be
came a citizen of the United States on
the 11th of August, 1890. Whether the
move is successful or not it will make
little difference to the republican state
ticket—for good republicans will be re
publicans still, and we have a sufficient
number to oarry the state by-a big ma
jority. A republican congress is doing
more in the interest of the common peo
ple than could possibly be expected of a
democratic administration, and the read
ing men and thinking farmers of South
Dakota have the good sense to realize
this fact and will not attempt to weaken
or destroy the party in power today with
their ballots by voting the independent
democratic ticket.

the republicans of Meade county will
hold their convention to nominate a
county and legislative ticket —except for
state senator, which has already been
done. The delegates are men who have
but one motive in view, viz.: To select
as standard bearers republicans who can
secure victory at the polls and preserve
the principles of the party and purity of
the ballot box. We have such material
in our ranks and the convention will dis
play its best judgment and excellent wis
dom by making $ ticket of the character
herein mentioned. A ticket of this kind
will draw the full party vote and com
mand the respect and admiration of all
honorable opposition. To insure success
at the polls November 4, men should be
chosen whose fidelity to the party is un
questioned, and whose political record
can not be impeached. With a ticket
made up of straight men, victory will be
ours—and good feeling and prosperity
will prevail throughout the county.
The stand taken' by the western sena
tors on the tariff has called for the most
extended comments favorable to their in
dependence. An editorial in the Phila
delphia Times says: "The west has men
in congress who have made themselves
heard and respected, even though they
do not embrace the father of the house
or the father of the senate. They have
forced the senate to give the western
farmers free binding twine. They have
obtained free machinery for the sugar
beet industry and they have, by their as
sertion of truth, told the country the
utter infamy of the tariff bill for which
they will vote because they have less
ened the taxes on their own people. Let
our congressmen study the manhood of
western senators and representatives.
Let them note how Massachusetts
knocked out the proposed tax on hides
how the western men knocked out the
tax on binding twine and on beet sugar
machinery, and then let them brace up
for one heroic effort to save the indus
tries of Philadelphia."
The democrats refer to speaker Heed's
rulings as gag law, but one of the
highest living authorities upon parlia
mentary law practice is Mr. Begnald F.
D. Palgrave, C. B., who is clerk of the
House of Commons and has spent thirty
six years in the service of that body.
He was recently asked by the editor of
the North American Review to write his
opinions of the quorum controversy of
last January in the house of representa
tives. Mr. Palgrave disclaims any party
sympathies in his discussion, but shows
in the most absurd light the rediculous
pretense of the democrats to being pres
ent and absent at the same time, and ful
ly justifies the speaker as counting pres
ent for purposes of quorum the members
who are actually before him in their
seats. He says that the vestry boards,
governing English parishes, had former
ly attempted to use this kind of obstruc
tive tactics, and that a long line of judi
cial decisions had ruled in favor of the
right of the chairman to count as present
those actuallv there.

ADDRESS.
To the Voters of South Dakota:
GENTLEMEN :—As we are
1
e v
constantly in
receipt of letters from all parts of the
state, requesting us to clearly define the
position which has been and will be taken
by the Pierre Board of Trade with refer
ence to the capital campaign, we beg
leave at this time to make the following
plain statement of facts, Before doing
so, we wish to tender our thanks to the
16,000 voters who last October teatified
their approval of our city as temporary
capital by voting for it on eleotion day.
To these friends we would say, that no
act of ours during the present campaign
shall cause them to feel that their confi
dence was misplaced and to suoh friends
as may vote for Pierre at the coming
election, we give assurance that they
shall, by reason of future developments,
have no reason to regret it.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND MAJORITY.
For the encouragement of these, we
state that a careful estimate of the senti
ment throughout the state, whioh has re
cently been made on the same plan as
was adopted by our organization last
year, shows that the majority for Pierre
in November will be about 15,000, whioh
majority will, of course, be increased or
diminished between this time and elec
tion day, as the popular wave of senti
ment sways to and from each candidate.
A SAVING TO THE STATE.
The citizens of South Dakota can save
enough within one year after a railroad
shall have run eastward from the Black
Hills to the Missouri river in cost alone,
to pay the entire expense of the state
Iinexhaustable
FTSK.MITI'TFKisw*
legislature for twenty years. The wealth
of this section consists not alone in the
supply and variety of min-
^•ISL
erals, but it contains enough timber
supply the entire state, coupled with OE
of the best agricultural and grazyig xc
giona in the west,
THE WESTERN HAIdT. ,'
The permanent capital which will be
located in November, is not for today or
for twelve years hence, bnt for all time
and to admit that it ought to be at this
time located in the center of population,
is to admit that South Dakota has
reached her full state of development
with a tendency to decay. We say, and
we believe it susceptible of proof, that
the half of the state lying west of the
Missouri river is equally as good as the
portion lying to the east of that great
stream that it is capable of sustaining
a large population, and that it now ap
pears like the younger child in the fam
ily, not at this time capable of self de
fense, yet, with equal rights in the heri
tage. And now in conclusion, we will
say that we are talking to reasonable,
fair-minded men that if South Dakota
has a future at all, and we believe that it
has, that it will have in ten years a mil
lion people, of whom 500,000 will be east
of the river and fully 500,000 west of the
river. Can anything be fairer to all sec
tions of the state than to say to one an
other, let us place the capital in the ex
act center, between the mining, mineral
and agricultural region west of the river
and its markets for all the produce which
we can raise, and the greatest agricul
tural and fuel consuming region east*
ward of the river.
PIERRE BOARD OF TRADE.
A SPOTTER'S RECORD.
The notorious searcher, Frank Pierce,
who killed a restaurateur in Des Moines
last spring because he would not allow
his house searched for liquors without
a search-warrant, is now in the Black
Hills country doing the spy act. Pierce
has chosen a field where his murderous
deeds will not be sanctioned as they were
in Des Moines, and where his chances
for dying with his boots on are very
great. He has killed two men and hia
last act was nothing short of a cold
blooded murder and he should be pun
ished accordingly.—-Irwin (Iowa) Jour
nal.
If the ADVERTISER is given a pointer
that Pierce contemplates visiting Sturgis
this philanthropic journal will have the
Fiddler tree cut down. That tree has
done good service for Scoop and its
manifold record shall not be besmirched
by hanging a dog upon its reverend
branches.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
We, the republicans of South Dakota
in convention assembled, reaffirm the
principles enunciated in the platform of
the national republican party in 1888
and most heartily endorse the adminis
tration of President Harrison and Gov
ernor Mellette.
We recognize with pleasure the services
rendered our state by our United States
senators and representatives in congress.
We favor an amendment to the con
stitution of the state so that the legislature
will be authorized to enact such laws as
will enable our state, counties and town
ships therein to maintain a through sys
tem of irrigation where needed, and the
republican party, now as heretofore,
being in sympathy with every material
development of our commonwealth, here
by pledge our hearty support to all
measures that will tend to the de
velopment of our agricultural resources
and we urge upon the general goverment
to extend prompt and liberal aid to the
practical establishment of a system of
irrigation by means of artesian wells
within the artesian basin of this state,
and urge upon our senators and represen
tatives in congress to continue to use
their best efforts to secure such aid.
We favor such expansion of our cur
rency as will meet the growing demand
of our increasing population and wants,
and offset the contraction resulting from
the withdrawal of national bank circula
tion, To this end we favor such legisla
tion as will utilize the entire product of
our silver mines as money.
We favor snch a tariff on all importa
tion, manufactured or produced, as will
fully protect our laborers, manufacturers,
farmers and miners from the ruinous
competition of pauper labor of other
oountries, and to create and sustain a
home market for the products of opr
farms, giving to each a living margin of
profit.
We also favor Hon. J. G. Blaine's re
commendations of reciprocal treaties
with Central and South American Re
public, with a view to open in them a
wider market for the produots of American
farms.
We most heartily endorse the action
of the republican party in the passage of
the disability pension bill, and we urge
the passage of such a service law as will
in some measure reward each of our hon
orably discharged soldiers for the years of
health and life lost to them by the hard
service rendered our country.
We most heartily invite and weloome
all people from foreign lands who come
to our state to secure homes and to be
come good law abiding citizens of the
commonwealth.
We reQognize the right of labor to or
ganize for its protection, and by all law
ful means to secure to itself the greatest
reward for its thrift, industry and skill.
We denouuee all combinations of cap
italists to limit production or control
the necessaries of life, and Advance prices
detrimental to the best interest of sooeity,
and we ask laws for their suppression
and punishment.
We favor the Australian ballot system
or such election laws as will guaratee
to every voter the greatest Becrecy in
the casting of his ballot, and we demand
laws for the severest punishment of any
attempt to corrupt the ballot. We also
favor the passage of the national election
law, now pending before the United
States senate.
We view with great satisfaction the
prosperous condition of our publio
schools, and higher institutions of learn
ing, and demand that our sohool landa
shall be jealously guarded,
Prohibition being adopted by a vote
of the people as a part of the funda
mental law of the state, we pledge the
party to its faithful and honest enforce-,
meat.
