The conservative element was in the
majority at Sioux Falls and the repeal
of the restraining clause in the consti-
tuition will not be submitted to vote
of the people. This ought to quiet the
apprehensions Of the most timid, but
it ought not to discourage Gen. Camp
bell, DR.. Ward or any of the other able
advocates of the statehood movement.
We consider this result not so much
an indication that these gentlemen
are considered wholly in the wrong,
but that the majority sentiment of the
convention believed the time had not
arrived for extreme measures. We
believe, however, that if Dakota is still
out of the union when another con-
gress meets, her citizens will be ready
to unite solidly on some platform that
will insure her recognition directly, or
will force the Supreme court to decide
how long a territory, more than fulfill
ing the constitutional requirements,
can he kept in condition of vassalage.
One thing is absolutely certain: No
radical movement will succeed unless
the whole territory is united upon it.
Once all sectional difficulties are for
gotten, all personal ambitions buried,
then Dakota can press her claims on
congress with Irresistible force.

The delegate situation is TAKING on
shape' or rather several shapes, thus
early. There is no question. in the
lirse place, but that Judge Clifford is
the choice of the majority of the
voters, but his friends are not doing
the active work that the friends of the
mali dozen other ambitious statesmen
are.
over in the Sioux Valley there is a
movement under way, on the quiet in
behalf of Judge G. s. Palmer, and it's
strong card is to keep its candidate in
the background, and endeavor to pre-
vent pledged delegations for Clifford.
Its chief argument is that the latter
has no show for denomination, and
delegates therefore should not tie
themselves up unnecessarily.
Throughout central Dakota the
name of Col. G. b. Peck of Brown
county, is kept to the front, having
been suggested from certain quarters
IN the north for reasons that will de-
velop later
Up in the Red River Valley Gen.
Aliens candidacy had its start, and his
hopes are being chiefly fed from that
locality, though there is talk of his
having Black Hills contingency well
in hand.
Bismarck, as represented by its
Tribune and Alex. Mckenzie, is ap-
parently not hostile to Clifford, but
there is strong reason to believe that
Gov. Pierce is the real choice of this
section, and for that matter of the
whole OF north Dakota.
1t looks to us at lhis time as though
the plan of Gov. Pierce's friends IS to
keep him in the background, until the
convention meets aud it is ascertained
just what Gifford's strength is against
the field, into which, from time to
time, new candidates from the several
sections may be introduced as they are
needed. Once it becomes apparent
that Clifford cannot be nominated. and
that the opposition to him can not be
centered upon any one of the avowed
candidates. the effort will be made to
rally the field to Gov. Pierce's support,
as compromise man, who could be
said to represent the whole territory
rather than any one locality.
South Dakota, however, has the sit
uation so largely in her own hands
that if she is taken in again by the
northern minority, it will argue the
most hopeless case of political imbecil-
ity on record. If Judge Clifford fails
of denomination, it will be by the same
of forces which have laid
his several predecessors on the shelf,
after the first term.

HANGMAN'S DAY.

S.s0SSS
Michael Gaynor, of Chicago, was hang
ed here at 1885 to-day. He made no
speech and was moderately composed,
though during the morning he
screamed almost continuously and had
his limbs bound to prevent his making
an assault on any of his attendants.
The political feud in the bloody
Ninth ward of Chicago, noted for the
bitterness with which its aldermanic
selection had been carried on, resulted
in the murder of Alderman Gaynor by
James Dacey. Dacey was of some in
fluence in the ward, one of Gaynor's
firmest adherents and the two were good
friends until Alderman Foley died and
the time came to choose his successor,
Dacey wanted Jas. Murray to have the
nomination, but Gaynor took up the
cause of w. F. Mshoney. The fight
which followed was bitter in the e1-
treme. The primaries were held q week
before the regular election and Dacey
was so abusive at the polls, that Gaynor
had him arrested and locked up. Next
day he was fined and his hatred of the
alderman increased. He is said to
have made threat that if Murray was
beaten at the election somebody
would be killed. He was an eccentric
fellow, but nobody thought he would
carry the threats into execution.
Mahony was successful at the election
which occurred May 13. 1884, and that
night, Gaynor, the successful candi-
date, and a number of other politicians
were drinking in saloon on south
Halstead Street, Dacey entered and
offered to shake hands with Gaynor,
which he would not do. Gaynor turn
ed his back and Daeey drew revolver
and shot him in the back of the head.
After eleven days of intense suffering
Gaynor died. The feeling was very
strong against Dacey, but through the
intervention of his attorneys he was
given trial here, convicted of murder
and the original sentence stayed to de-
termine the question OF his sanity. He
was adjudged sane and ordered to be
hanged to-day.
DoNALDsoNvILLE, La, July 49,
Samson Roland and George Soloman,
both colored, were hanged here to-day.
In February, 1884, on Holman's
plantation. nine miles from here
Roland shot and killed Benjamin
Gersdorff while the latter was under
the influence of liquor. The trouble
between them it is believed, was
caused by woman. Geo. Solomon,
last July stabbed and killed Henry
Smith, colored, Solomon had been
living with woman named Hill who
was Smiths God-daughter and had
shot at her several times; finally she
went to Smiths house and Solomon
followed her, being refused admittance
to the house, an alteration ensued
which resulted in the stabbing.
SHREVEPORT, La, July 16.-George
Harrison, colored. was hanged to-day

had ordered Harrison to leave the
premises and Harrison shot him dead

OFF FOR CANADA.

PITrsBURG, July 17.-Samuel K. Gay,
chief clerk of the Pittsburg pension
office has probably gone to Canada.
Yesterday pension agent Errett dis
covered that Gay had forged his name
to three checks, aggregating $500. In
formation for forgery was made before
United States Commissioner McCand-
less and warrant issued for Gays
arrest, but before the officer could
serve it, he got wind of it and quickly
left the city. The forgery of the
checks constitutes but fraction of the
amount which it is supposed Gay got
away with, and it is believed the
amount from the forgery and embez-
Element will reach from $4,000 to $780,
600. Gay was the son of wealthy par
ents. He was strict attendant at
church, quite active in the Y. NJ. G. A.
