a REVISED OPINION.
Given. Perhaps, with More Comprehen
sive Understanding Of tho Subject.


Sioux City Journal, 18th.
Some Of the criticisms passed upon the
outcome Of the Grand Forks convention
bear with greater severity upon the atti-
tude Of the Hand forces than the facts
warrant. Secretary Hand had every
reason to believe that the compact with
north Dakota with reference to the Gre
dentials report would be carried out.
After fOrty-eight hours Of severe labor
the majolltyof that committee. controlled
by north Dakota. had agreed upon a re.
port. It was anticipated that that re.
port would be ratified by the convention,
by the support of north Dakota, and that
then the issue as 10 candidate would be
tried. The general feeling Of delegates
from south Dakota, without reference to
faction, was in behalf Of a south Dakota
man. There was no indication, prlor to
the discovery Of the Pettigrew- -Raym ond
the chances in behalf of south Dakota.
The Hand people anticipated that this
situation, by the help of north Dakota
with the rest, would be continued until,
after the credentials business was settled
through the mediation of north Dakota,
q number of ballots had disclosed the
real situation in the convention. They
anticipated combination. but they did
not feel that combination could be
made that would set aside the credentials
compact and lead to pooling of issues
prior to ballot. Their offense was in
trusting to ratification of the arrange
ment as to the organization of the con.
vention to which north Dakota, Hand
and Pettigrew we're parties. In this con-
tidence they were caught. When they
discovered the new programme it was
too late for them to shift. It is not i'm
probable that the respective candidates
would have had opportunity to measure
strength in the convention but for the
fact that north Dakota was not over-and-
above solid. and that its managers feared
the Raymond forces could not be held
together. This apprehension was the
twin of another, that in the breakup,
not long to be delayed, Hand would be
nominated. Therefore the expedient of
settling the problem while the power
was assured by means Of the Pettigrew
union. This prospect of positive success
.solidi6ed the Raymond forces, as it
always does in political convention of
this sort, and victory was organized
beyond all question in behalf of north
Dakota. While the Journal is very clear
y of the opinion that the result at Grand
Forks was the logical result, and
while the details of the history of the
convention as they come in but confirm
this opinion. it is plain that much may
properly be said in support of the atti-
tude occupied by the Hand men. They
we're con fidenced. They banked on the
ethics of politics. They felt that Petit.
grew could not deliver. They dallied
with their hope. They could have won
partial triumph. It seemed to them that
they were safe IN holding out awhile for
complete success. Thus it was they lost
And their wisdom now, after the fact, as
with all concerned, is much improved

An United States registered bond Of

Office of the register of tho United States

vice force thus far have failed to recover
the bond or discover the thief. The rob-
berry was kept quiet in the hope that q
clue might be found. The bond was one
which was exchanged from s1l to per
cent, and is complete to negotiate. How
ever, the thief will have to forge the
name Of the person in whose favor il is
issued. Leading banks of the country
have been informed, however, of the
theft, and given the name of the person
to whom the bond was issued. Should
the bond be fraudulently negotiated,
neither the government nor the rightful
owner will lose anything, for the United
States will not redeem it, and it will
issue q duplicate to the person entitled
to it.

Yesterday for several hours and left for
Yankton at 8 p. m. Mr.. Hand desires to
make one statement, and only one, which
was that Pettigrew's avsrment that while
at Grand Forks he had approached the
Hand and Hughes element with view
to the settlement in favor of southern
Dakota is untrue and was made with q
view on Pettigrew's part to avert, if pos.
sible, the storm of indignation which
will greet him when he returns to the
south. Pettigrew said, in detail, that he
offered the Hand party to withdraw in
favor Of any good man out of Yankton
upon whom they could mutually agree
or IN favor of . Yankton man (presuma.
bly, John R. Gamble). If Pettigrew could
name him. Mr.. Hand says that on
his word of honor as . man no such pro-
position or any other Of any kind looking
towards settlement Of southern Dako'
ia difference was at any time made to
him or his friends. The defeated candi
date further said that he was in no wise
cast down, that Captain Raymond was
personally very acceptable to him and
would receive his support and q good
majority. From the secretary's remarki
it was easily dlscoverable that he intende
to keep up the fight against Pettigrev
and his methods, and is determined to
beat him yet, being confident that he
has majority in southern Dakota when
it comes to count Of influential friends

The Kansas board Of agriculture hos
made new computation Of the oats and
spring wheat yield. Oats averages, esti.
mated, thirty five bushels per acre. The
acreage is over 100000, an increase of
fifty.four per cent. The total product is
l83.O00.0O0 bushels. For wheat, the
largest previous crop was in 1879, when,
with q twenty-eight per cent larger
acreage the yield was only l3.0OO, 600.
Only $4,000 acres we're sown. The
spring wheat, estimated, yield is fifteen
bushels per acre. The acreage Of this
grain declined heavily, it being compar.
lively an improbable crop. The esti.
mate Of the corn crop remains 155, ,OOO..
OOO bushels. No unfavorable reports are
received. and the yield will be about
thirty-Rve buahels per acre.

The wheat crop report Of the depart.
ment of agriculture this month says the
result of the spring wheat harvest is in
close accordance with the indications of
the August report. The quality is good
and the yield above the average. The
general condition Of winter and spring,
when harvested, is represented by one
hundred. In parts of the winter wheat
region. especially Michigan and Indiana,
some millions Of bushels have been lost
by sprouting in the stack. There has
also been some loss of spring wheat from
the same cause in Wisconsin and other
states. The Ohio valley has nearly as
large Q product as in 1879. Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois have apparently secured
about l42,0OO,O00 bushels. The south
has increased both her acreage and yield
per acre. The aggregate of winter wheat,
as indicated by the September returns,
is about 3SO,00OOOO bushels; spring
wheat, about 100000 900 or 52O,OOO,OOO in
all. The thrashing test may slightly
modify these figures. The first thrash.
ing generally exceeded expectations.
Later thrashing has in many sections
been Disappointing. 1t is quite certain
that the perceptible supply of wheat will
not be quite 60 large as in 1879 or 1880.
