The candidacy and administration O
President Harrison have been indorset
by the South Dakota Republicans il
convention at Chamberlain.
Owing to the illness Of Chairman
CiOugh the convention was called tt
order by j. NJ. Greene of Brule County
l.. Is. French Of Yankton County wa.
elected temporary Chairman and $. n
Cooper and NJ. G. Carlisle were unani
monsly selected as Secretaries.
The elect on Of Mr.. French as tenn
porary Chairman was on a vote Of 81.
to 32s for $. T. Winslow OF Sanborn
and by Mr.. Winslows motion his selec.
tion was declared to be unanimous. A
committee escorted Mr.. French to the
chairs where he delivered . fattling ad.
dress OF acceptance.
The convention then proceeded to ef.
feet an organization, and motions were
made and carried that a committee Oi
1ve be appointed on credentials and
resolutions, aud five on rules and order
of business
Pending the appointment by the tenn
porary Cha arman OF the above commit
tees, the convention called on various
gentlemen for speeches.
After the appointment OF committees
the convention adjourned until .
O'clock.
The afternoon session was called to
order by the temporary Chairman at
2:30 o'clock, and the temporary organ
ization was made permanent. The re.
port OF the Committee on Credentials
was called for and adopted. after ad-
mitting number of delegates from the
nnorganized counties and striking out
Sol Starr from the Lawrence County
delegation, he appearing from 10th
Butte aud Lawrence regardless of the
earnest plea Of Mr.. Mo dy for Starr.
A motion was then made and seconded
that all the resolutions be referred to
tho Committee ON Resolutions. Two
resolutions were introduced, both laud-
ing the administration, but one was for
an instructed delegation to the Mime
apolis convention and the other for an
uninstructed delegation. This aroused
the Harrison men and one motion was
made that the resolution favoring the
instructing of the delegates to the ma.
tional convention be substituted for the
other. 1t failed to be brought to u vote
and considerable cross firing then en-
sued.
A motion was then made that both
resolutions be referred back to the
Committee on Resolutions with instruc.
tions to merge both into Que with tho
addition that the delegation to the na-
tional convention shall use all homo IL
bic endeavor for the denomination of
President Harrison. 1t was carrie by
good majority, thus disposing OF the
principal point for which the two fac.
tons were striving. The resolution as
adopted is in part as follows:

dent Harrison in everyth ng wh ch advances
