The members of South Dakota's first Legislature caucused Tuesday morning of last week at Pierre, and chose officers. Young, of Minneha ha, was selected for Speaker of the House, Lieutenant Governor Fletch er presided over the Senate.

Xelson Cox met with a painful and somewhat serious accident at the Rernice mines last Wednesday morning. He was engaged in what tho mines call "pulling thr pillars" when a portion of the roof fell upon liim, doubling him up like a jack knife. Speedy assistance was ren dered, the fallen rocks removed and the injured man taken home. He was badly bruised across the hips and back, but very fortunately no internal injuries resulted and he is rapidly recovering. It was what might be termed a "fortunate acci dent."— Jjua/iore Review. Republicans give Alphonsus Walsh your vote. He is a fine fel low and merits your support. The politicians are favored with the finest kind of weather for their business. We imagine they are making hay all right enough. Vote for William J. Lawrence for Sheriff and you will be helping to elect a young and poor man who is conspicuously fitted lor the position. Mr. Itz has been Sheriff of Sulli van county and is a rich man and does not need the fees of the office for a livelihood. Vote for the poor man every time. It may be you next. Mr. Wm. Mcylert of LaPorte must be acknowledge by all to be the organizer of the Prohibition party of Sullivan county. Mr Mcylert will vote for Wni. Lawrence, for Sheriff. Reports received from different points throughout the county show that Will Lawrence is steadily grow ing in favor with the jjeople and that he will be heartily supported on election day. This is as it should be. A noted politician of Rernice and one of LaPorte, were out election eering for Mr. Utz on Sunday. Siich work 011 Sunday is not ap preciated by a goodly number of our people and iu consequence they will holt the ticket on election day. Week before last the Gazette ar gued that William Lawrence could not do as much for the "poor man" in the ollice of Sheriff as LTtz lie cause of his want of means. Last week it argued that Lawrence was rich and not worthy of support on that account. Has Streby got the •ricketts,'' or have they two hands at the Gazette, bellows. The Gaze'te has made false state ments in lact in reference to the character of the editor of this paper in the vilest language known to professional blackguards. The purpose of this attack is to get into I a personal controversy with us to draw attention from the fact that John Utz is an unfit man for the office of Sheriff". We shall not fail in this trap. The candidate against Ftz is WILIJAM LAWRENCE. L«;t the Gazette fire its shots at him, for they will fall harmless. He is a pure true and honest man and stands head and shoulders above Utz in in tellent and intelligence. The early settlers of Sullivan county, endured many hardships to build up and establish the county. It is right and proper that their de scendants should occasionally be recognized in county offices. The grandfather of our candidate for Sheriff, whose name was also WILL IAM LAWRENCE, was one of the pioneers in the wilderness. He cleared up a farm and was one of the first Commissioners of the coun ty. Our candidate for Sheriff was born in Sullivan county, and lias never heretofore asked for any of lice. He is of the people and for the people and the good sense of the people will sustain him. Democratß when you bolt Mr. Utz you do not boit a Democrat. He got his nomination unfair. He was not the choice of the Convention. He has been a chronic kicker in the Democratic ranks and the leaders of the party consider liitn so and will not. take part in helping to secure his election. Can you consis tantly vote for such a candidate. Will you allow your "sand" to fade at this critical moment. John Utz defeated Michael McDona'd, Ilus sel Karns and John Yonkin. Are you in return willing to hand him the reins and let him govern the Democratic party of Sullivan county, is he a fit man for the position ? The three men of LaPorte who published a card in the Gazette last wei Kin defence of A. Logan (Jrim, did not show very good taste in selecting their organ for publishing the same. The Gaz>ttt is the Utz organ and Grim's favorite, hence it appeared in the Gazette. Either of the other papers would have pub lished the card had they been re quested to do so. In our judgment the Jleriew should have been the preference. The card appearing in the Gazette clearly proves to the people that (Jrim is fighting the Prohibition battle anxious to cause a feeling in the Piohibition party in favor of Mr. Utz assisted, we are sorry to say, I>y one or two of our town people. J. W. Mansfield ail old time* IHino-, crat of Lopez, previous to delegate j election, received a letter trom • Mr. Utz containing money. The letter requested Mr. Mansfield to do all in his power to elect his (Utz's) delegates. Mr. Mansfield refused to accept the money and handed it over to an associate. To-day Mr. Mansfield says he will ' not support any man who can t> t get the nomination of his own party | without the use of money. He says if his character and veracity is not sufficient for him to gain the dele gates he is not a fit man to repre sent the people of the county. This is a very important question to he considered. Shall the rich man be ; King. This use of money is what defeated F. M. Crossley in the Con vention and if tolerated will have the same effect upon every poor man who comes before the Conven tion. Voters, vote it out of exis tence. Hundreds of Democrats all over the county refuse to support I tz for Sherilf, because he is a wealthy man and has had the ollice once. They condemn him also because he is head of a corrupt ring in the Democratic party. Will Lawrence is a poor man a honest man and well qualified to do the business, has never naught ollice before and is the people's choice for Sheiiil—(.Jive a poor man your ballot—Do not thrust riches upon riches but vote for a man that is obliged to work for his daily bread like yourseii. Utz is a retired gentleman with kits of cash by his side. Kxaniiue the recording books in the Prothouo tary's ollice if you doubt our asser tion and see the thousands of dol lars entered up against poor men of the county in his favor. If none but rich men can be elected to coun ty offices when will your chance come. Consider this geutleineti and we feel sure that you will give the poor man your support, on the sth of November. This is no accounting for tastes. Here is what three good citizens of Laporte l>or<>, *-\v in a card t<> the Prohibitionists of Sullivan county: "We selected Mr. Grim and employ ed him for this work because we be lieved lie was a true man and well qualified; expected and offered to pay him as we would any other pel soil who would work for us.'' They might have added that Grim was paid money for making speeches in favor of the Prohibition Amend ment last Spring, and immediately after the election went off on a "big drunk." They might have added that Mr. Grim went straight from a consultation with .lohn I tz into the Prohibition meeting and took a leading part in favor of the nomina tion of a Prohibition candidate for Sheriff. As it is now proven that Mr. Grim was selected and employed for him to assist in getting up the Convention,it is a fair inference that he was working for pay in the Con vention. If it was not John Lt/.'s money that paid his bills, whose was it? Among the busiest little towns in Northern Pennsylvania eonspicously appears the city of Lopez, Sullivan county, with a population of from <> to 8 hundred. This town is filled with manufacturing industries. In the centre of this attraction is lo eated Deegan <t l-'arrell's Hotel which is a line three story building and will accommodate one hundred people. A full house there is quite common and the receipts for one day often aggregate one hundred and fifty dollars. Messrs. Deegan and Farrell have within a recent date gone to considerable expense of bringing pure spring water from off the mountain by pipe line, a dis tance of one-forth mile which not only furnishes the Hotel with water but a large per centage of the resi dence of Lopez. These gentlemen are now erecting a large town Hall close by the Hotel stand which will be when completed one of the finest in the county. The lower floor will be occupied by John P. Kennedy formelv of La Porte for a billard hall and a barber shop. The Hall or second floor will be used for dancing, theatres Ac., which will be greatn ;ippreciated by the people of Lopez. At the election next month the ! people of Sullivan county will have j an opportunity of v i'oi t» j or a rich man for the ollice of Sheriff. Mr. Lawrence the poor man and Mr. I' tz conceded to be one of the wealth iest men in Sullivan county. Mr. Utz was not the choice of the Demo cratic party. Mr. Lawrence was placed before the people in a square and proper way, no chicanery or bribery WHS used to nominate him. For whoir. will you vote? Where Utz is best known he will be cut the worst. For proof of tins assertion we only need to call the attention of the voter to the l>ele. gate election when he only received seven majority in his own Boro.. over a candidate ten miles dis tance. His neighbors with the ex ception of Scouten, say he is not the person for Ihe ollice. Owing to dissipation. We have this from tax-payers of Dushore boro, and if you doubt us, we insist upon your writing to some disinterested party residing in said boro, ancl obtain the desired proof of our assertion. A thirty dollar whiskey bill is a good deal to pay for whiskey consumed in one month. Such con duct would cause dissipation to any man and in time would render him unserviceable to public administra tion. Header whether you be a temperance man or a drinking man _\ou desire that when you place legal documents in the hands of a county official that the papers have due consideration and that they be properly looked after. His friends may call your attention to his term of IK7", tiiis is all right, but ten years of continual dissipation has caused ;t big ckange to overcome John Utz. The charges which the Gazette makes against our candidate for Sherill in its issue last week are about as follows: William Lawrence is a member of the firm of Lawrence Bros. The firm have established a furniture store in Dushore. Therefore they must be rich. Again the firm of Lawrence Bros, are contractors and builders and employ ' !- men Therefore they must be rich. Again Lawrence Bros, have built, two dwolling houses in Dushore for their families to live in. Therefore they must be rich. It is not our purpose to depreciate the circumstances- of ! awrenee Bros. As we have said heretofore they arc young active business men and arc putting forth their full strength in business en terprises. They are the kind of men who do the people good. The profits from the ollice of Sherilf will do them good. Should William Lawrence be defeated because lie is in business? Should he be defeated because he has built a house in Du shore to live in ? We do not know that there is any reason why a man who lias built a dwelling house in Dushore should be condemned. Should Lawrence bo defeated be cause he employs men to work with him in his business as a builder? Yet such are frivolous objections made against him by the Gazette. It says:"This does not look as if the voters of Sullivan county ought to vote for Mr. Lawrence on account of his poverty." No one has advo cated his election on the ground of poverty. The Gazette shirks the point of contention. We have said that William Lawrence has no money to spend to cary the election. This is true; and further he is not the kind of a man to corrupt voters with money if he had it. We have said that his competitor is a rich man, and the Assesssment books in the Commissioners ollice prove it. lie has thousands of dollars drawing interest. He does 110 work; lie shaves notes, and speculates. He can command ready money in large amounts any day. That he is using it freely to assist in his elec tion is not denied. That the lovers of boodle are training in his ranks is certain. All who are acquainted with both candidates must admit •hat Lawrence is morally and in tellectually so far above Utz that they cannot be compared together. We shall be amazed it the good people of Sullivan county do not rally to the sunnort of 1 ivvk- find elect him by a rousing majority.
