HURON, S. Oak, July 13.-The Pop
ulist convention to nominate a full
congressional and state ticket and
name seventeen delegates to the ma
tional convention will convene here
tomorrow. The convention will en-
dorse Bryan. Senator Pettigrew is here
with handful of boilers from the Re-
publican state convention and will or
ganize silver party and select dele
gates to the silver convention at st.
Louis. Pettigrew has already taken a
hand in the affairs of the Populfsts
and has prepared a slate for nomina-
tion tomorrow. The vote between the
republicans and Populists is so close
In South Dakota that great interest
Is manifested in this convention.
Senator Kyle denies the rumor that
he wants to go to the national con-
ventfon as delegate, and hits out at
Pett1grew in this remark: 'I do not
wish to be delegate to ST. Louis. L
have never thought of being a delegate,
believing that such honors Of the party
should be distributed as far as possible
among the people"
The situation in Populistic politics
In this state is somewhat changed
since the nomination of Bryan, and the
enthusiasts now claim they can read
their title clear to the next admins
tration. Bryan is we'll known here.
having made many silver speeches in
this state during the past year.
1t is expected that the Yankton
Press, Of which Senator Pettigrew's
private secretary is one of the propri-
etors, and which paper has carried
Teller's name at it's masthead for a
year prior to the Republican national
convention, will announce in the con-
Vention tomorrow flop to free silver.
This movement would not mean a con-
version of it's editors, for they have
both been champions of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver for three
or four years; but they have tried to
follow the Republican party up to the
present time. In connection with the
Topping Of newspapers, it is fore
warned that another change NAV be
expected about Oct. 1, when a certain
well known Sioux Falls daily is sched-
uled to drop the Republican ticket and
espouse the cause of the opposition.
This change is inevitable.
The principal candidates before the
convention are: Congressmen-F. M.
sGoodykoontz, of Mitchell; John 4.
