Loyal Friends in Custer.
The last issue ot the North
Platte Tribune devotes a lengthy
article aunouueinfjj the candidacy
of Judge II. M. Grimes lor congress
from the Sixth district. It was
hardly necessary for The Tribune
to go into the matter so fully, be
caube the popularity of Judge
Grimes throughout the Sixth dis
trict is a well established lact, and
that he is well equipped with legis
lative experience and legal ability
is also equally well-known, Should
he be the choice of the convention
for the honor, he will find he has
jiibt as loyal friends in old Custer
as he has in his home county. Cuh-
ter county republican?, however,
are anxious to hive Senator Currie
go into the race for the nomination
but as yet have not succeeded in
getting his formal declaration that
he would do so. If he liuallv de
cides to be a candidate Custer is
his without a struggle, but with
Mr. Uurrie out ot me Held, it is a
leu to one shot that Judge Grimes
would fall heir to the support of
Custer county.- Ansley Chronicle,
