moved to make unanimous the motion for seat
ing the regulars, and they pledged their sup
port TO the nominees. The vote was accord
ingly made unanimous.
The committee on organization, through its
chairman, reported in favor of continuing the
permanent organization and making nomina-
tons in the following order: Mayor, treasurer,
corporation counsel, city attorney, clerk, fire
commissioners, aldermen and delegates, then
the members OF the city central committee, one
from each ward aud two at large. The votes

ward announce the votes for his delegation
When nominations for mayor were in order
W. +. Forrest briefly proposed John Leary, who
for more than twenty years had an honorable
record as citizen, lawyer and business man
Mr. Lsary had always made Seattle's cause his
own, and had fought her battles through gloom
and apparent defeat to brilliant victory. When
the Northern Pacific railroad had tried to side
track Seattle, John Leary was leader in the
formation of the Seattle & Walla Walls railroad
to afford the city an independent outlet to the
East. Mr.. leary had once been an irreproacha-
BILE mayor, and he would again fill the Office in
manner to give satisfaction to all interested in
her welfare.
Jacob Furth seconded the nomination, saying
that Mr.. Leary's progress aud success had been
linked with seattle's progress and success And
since Mr. Leary had so wisely administered his
own private business 10 win a fortune, so Mr.
Leary could be relied upon to administer the
affairs of the city with economy and efficiency.
". d. Wood proposed James Leddy, who he
said, was a Union veteran of honorable reputa.
tiou and lawyer of high ability He would
bring to the Office dignity, brains, force and
integrity.
". W. Wiltshire nominated George W. Hall
a man who had risen from the ranks of the
workingmen, but who was still one OF them
in feeling and sympathy. Mr.. Hall had known
Seattle for years; hac watched her course, had
Hall had already shown his ability ably 10
manage the municipal government
+. ". Craven put forward the name of Alfred
NJ Brcokes. a soldier of vAlor and patriotism; a
citizen whose usefulness to the community had
been proved again and again, and business
man whose brilliant success was ample proof of
his capabilty Tor the Office OF mayor.
o. c. McGray seconded this nomination, and
O. Q. Remsburg in an effective speech urged the
claims Of James Leddy. F. L. Van Tuyl also
added a word FOR Mr.. Ieddy.
Major W. V. Rinehart declared that the Sixth
ward was Tor George W. Hall.
Judge J. J. McGilEra said that the question
before the convention was the selection OF a
mayor OF the city. Party issues were of sec
ondary importance compared with the business
administration Of city affairs. The most sue
oesstu! business man would be the best caudi-
date, and John Leary was the most successful
business man.

and the Black Hills District Alliance
was not backward id milking it. At the
January session held at Piedmont, reso-
buttons were passed on the subject.
The real trouble in the Alliance and sew
eral other South Dakota hail companies
arises from the fact of their being mutu-
al companies coupled with severe hail
storms and extreme drouth. Mutual
companies in all lines of insurance fur
nlsh the cheapest possible INSURANCE but
all rests on the ability and viii lngness
Of policy holders to pay their premiums.
The failure OF crops prevented the pay
ment OF premiums. Even in the Black
Hills, which has not suffered as other
portions, we believe more has been re-
ceived on losses than has been collected
by the company on premiums. We
know that last season the company paid
40 cents and SO far this year so cents,
while some other companies paid moth
ing or offered to pay in notes. The
weak point with all mutual companies
comes from too low rates and too long
credits. All premiums should be cash
or a well secured note, not on crops but
other negotiable security.
There was q time when this action OF
the state authorities would have weak
ened the alliance, but it cannot effect
the independent party except it be from
it's appearance OF persecution to double
the ardor OF it's workers. The new
party has o%utgrown the alliance and
any set OF men and is today abundantly
able to stand on it's own bottom.

LOST

Under this head the Deadwood indie
pendent turns It's batteries upon It's
friends, the Independents OF Rapid City.
Knowles thinks that ii the Independents
had put up a clean ticket they would
have swept the field. He says:
Never did they have such Il glorious
opportunity to show their mettle and
their principles as that which presented
itself at heirrecentcity electionha they
men for leaders, as it is, nothing but dis
organization has resulted from their
puslllanimous and cowardly conduct.
X X X X The independents OF Rapid
City are to-day without n organization.
Our frie1d Knowles ought to have a
fair idea eli the situation in Pennington
county, but it is evident from his article
that he does not, or knowing it, ignores
it. The ro%ttenness OF the old parties
here centers in the liquor traffic and the
it and its associate evils. Both old
parties bowed before the traffic here as
they do today in the state and nation.
No clean (?) ticket conld have been put
up NY III 1lluClIlNtSIto SASNlpp oiS
pledged to the enforcement OF all law.
Could friend Knowles have endorsed
such a ticket? Ii SO his actions in his
own city belle him. AS for the financial
policy OF the city, no clean man would
step into the mayors shoes and carry
out the plans already adopted and to
which the city unanimously agreed. If
the Deadwood free lance will study thes
two aspects OF the case he should con-
clude that he has his hands more than
full in his own county. The past cleo
ton at Lead and the coming one at
Deadwood will prove the truth OF this.
His slur at the leaders falls very fiat.
The independent party has no leaders.
It is a movement Of the people. A few
men may consider themselves leaders
but they will soon be undcceived. In
this city preceding the election a large
gathering OF independents was held and
the situation fully discussed. A small
minority favored acitizens ticket, among
them was the UNION force. A stillsnall-
Sl th u ciN ~ al
dependent ticket with a prChibitlonist
at the head, but the large majority iav-
ored the choice Of the best men from the
old parties. The majority ruled. The
Independents OF Pennington county have
proven themselves abundantly able to
manage their own business they haye
never soiled their skirts with either OF the
old parties and yet without leaders,
without political wire pullers, she has
gradually advanced until the indepen-
dents carried the county in the last cleo
ton against a resident candidate and
one OF the strongest democrats OF the
state. The assertion that the, indepen-
dents OF this city are d~isorganized is
false and coming from the source it does
shows very poor judgement to say the
least,

POTATO PLANTING.

Our experiments in potato planting
have embraced several lines OF work,
the principles OF which are briefly dis
cussed below. While the different ques-
tions are by. no means considered settled,
the results OF our work may be- safely
taken as Indicators OF what may ex-
pected under similar conditions.
Time OF planting.-The early paintings
have uniformly given the largest yields
and best quality OF potatoes. Those
planted in April or early in May are
8 certain to have the proper amount
OF moisture at the time the potatoes are
forming than are the later plantlngs.
Quantity Of seed.s-Much the largest
Yields have constantly been obtained
from the heaviest seeding. Large, whole
potatoes, planted every fifteen inches, IN
drills three and one-half feetapart, have
a decidedly larger product than
basany other method,ib but it can bard
" be considered the most profitable
7ield, gince 1t requires fifty bushel more
,eed per acre than two-eye cuttings
