HURON, S. D., March 25.-The Re-
! publican convention today almost unan-
| imously instructed for Mckinley and
sound money. There has been a big
| hight for two months over both propo-
! sltions, Senator Pettigrew vigorously
| opposing both. He has been on the
| ground since yesterday, and has WELD
| ed all his power and Well-knOWn skill
| particularly in faVor Of silver but was
| beaten before the convention met and
| forced to accept the esult without a
| protest. The opposition formally threat
! ened in case he attempted to resist
! either Mckinley or sound money On
| the floor of the convention TO prevent
his going to ST. Louis. He made a
| vigorous fight in the platform commit
! tee, but was beaten unanimously. He
| agreed to accept any instructions that
! might be passed, but the convention
| compelled him before his election to
| rise in the hall and pledge himself not
! only to vote, but to work for sound
money at st. Louis. The other seven
delegates, who are all sound money and
Mckinley men, held q meeting and
| pledged themselves not to allow him to
| be chairman nor to go upon the plat
! form or credentials committee at ST.
Louis, or to have a voice in choosing
| the national committeeman. The city
is in a state of wild jubilation tonight
and the party leaders openly state that
he is politically dead Even after he
had pledged himself to abjure his silver
sentiments at st. Louis and work at
st. Louis for sound money, there was
storm OF noise at his election. The
convention stood three to one against
him.
The delegates elected to attend the
st. Louis convention are: L. B. French,
of Yankton; d. A. Miner, of Mitchell;
w. e. Smead, of Lead; w. V. Lucas, of
| Hot Springs; H. C. Meacham, of Gettys
burg; Dave Williams, of Webster; c.
