Congressman.
Ex-Judge Bartlett Tripp Is
Indorsed for United
States Senator.
Otter Tail County's Alliance
dominates Candidates for
the Legislature.
Special to the Globe.

Democrats of South Dakota nominated
ticket tonight that will sweep the
state next November if the claims OF
the Farmers alliance that its ticket
will poll $4,000 votes are well founded.
Gen. Morris Taylor, of Huron, is the
Democratic candidate for governor,
and the remainder of the ticket is
made up of men equally prominent.
The convention assembled at 11:20 this
morning with forty-two counties repre-
sented and 260 delegates in their seats.
Secretary Grain called the body to order,
referring briefly to the tragic death of
Zach L. Hundley, president OF the state
central committee. Col. M. II. Sheafe,
of WatertOWn, was chosen temporary
chairman, aid E. M. O'Brlen, OF Yank-
ton, secretary, by acclamation.
In assuming tt e chair Col. Sheafe, after
congratulating "the enthusiastic dele
gates of an enthusiastic Democracy"
said they were there to protest against
tax. They had placed statesman and
patriot in the presidential chair, while
people were being borne down
under an annual tariff tax of S5,010,-
100000. This man had sounded
the key note of reform, had said we
must reform the evil or go down on that
issue, and they had gone down. He re-
ferred to the eX-president and next
President, Grover Cleveland"
Col. Sheafe's speech was received
with frequent applause, and cheers at
the reference to Cleveland. The fol-
lowing committees were named by the
chair:
Credentials -Peemiller, of Yankbon; Din
neen, of Beadle; Burns, of Brookings; Gill
bert, of Minnehaha; Walsh, of Sphinx.
Permanent nization-Harris, of Brown;
Freeman, of Union; Dewey, of Coddington;
Rowley, of Davidson; Hopkins, of Edmunds.
During an interval, while the chair
was arranging the committees, Judge
Bangs, of Rapid City, made a humorous
and characteristic speech. He ex-
pressed hope of Democratic success in
the state if the party could secure a fair
share of any capitalization corrup-
tion fund made up this year.
Pierre, Yankton, Huron. Watertown,
and even Sioux Falls, he said, had put
large amounts into the hands Of the Re-
publicans last year to secure the float
ing vote which tended to make the De-
mocracy appear in a hopeless minority.
This year an attempt would be made to
hold things down. The remarks elected
frequent laughter and applause. Chair
man Sheafe said he would allow fifteen
minutes time to ladies who wished to
address the convention. The ruling was
accepted with applause and the conven-
tiOn then took recess. At 2 o'clock
the convention resumed its session and
reports were read from the committee
on credentials showing 260 delegates
present from fOrty-twO counties. Dur
ing the afternoon delegation of twenty
ladies, prominent advocates of woman
suffrage, called, and Mrs. Harden, wife of
s. w. Harden. addressed the meeting.
At p. NJ, the committee on resolutions
being unable to complete its work, the
convention adjourned until 8 o'clock
this evening. The convention was not
actually resumed after appoint
ment of committee on reSOlu-
tions this afternoon until nearly 10
o'clock tonight, when after several adj
journments the committee on resolu-
tions presented its report. The interval
was devoted to OratOry and consideration
of plan for the orga nizatlon of tariff
reform clubs throughout the state. The
resolu tions indorse the last national
Democratic platform and demand re-
adjustment of existing laws with the
view of cheapening articles of neces
sity instead of increasing their price,
as is proposed by the Mckinley bill.
Free Raw Material,
free coinage of silver, a graduated in
come tax, resubmission of the state
prohibition amend ment. the Australian
system of voting, service pensions for
deserving veterans, laws protect
ing from pauper and convict
competition and favoring liberal
appropriation for high and
common education are also advocated.

suffrage and arraigns Gov. Mellette for

an arid waste. The nomination
