THE REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION
YANKToN, AUGUST, 21st.

'aiitg anu an teLueIcu 10 uelcgates
are the constant subjects of favorable
remark. A committee meet each in
coming train and carriages are
furnished delegates to their hotels
and stopping places. The X. of P.
band is under contract and music is
freely furnished. A large tent capa-
BILE of holding 1900 people is set up
and in readiness for the meeting of
the convention, and, with the excep-
ton of the weather, which is insuffer-
ably warm, everything is as near
perfect as care can make it.

not all arrived as yet, the members
here being Williams, Smith, Arthur,
Raynes, Bathen, Finch, Jones and
Stearns, the others being expected
tomorrow. Messrs Loomis and Stat.

and the Day county boys are quar-,
tered at the Windsor, with commo.
dious parlor and rooms on the

that they have a constant string Of
callers. Mrs. Sheldon and son are
down here being the guests of DR.
Meade at the Insane Hospital.
1t is "a hours before the conven
ton is called to order and at thi:
writing it is impossible to forecast
any of the nominations. The great
fight will occur on the congressiona
nominations and the candidates
Picker, Lucas and Gamble are al
hustling. Gamble has developed
unexpected strength and is a source
of danger to the aspirations of the
Others.
No name has been brought GU
against Sheldon for Governor anc
unless what little opposition there il
is c~rystallized and the unexpected
happens through the fight for con
gress the Governor will be renomi
mated.
Thorsen and Nipple, for Sec. an,
Auditor, have no opposition, bu
there will be a rare fight for Treas
urer, Moody of Brown, Phillips O
Lawrence and Lippleman of Potter
are the leading candidates. Flo

Lands there is Lockhart of Grant
Lecocl of-and Bowman of Spinl
