POPS NOMINATE.

The populist state convention at
Huron endorsed Bryan's candidacy and
nominated Freeman Knowles. of Dead
wood, and j. E. Kelly, of Flandreau,
for congress. Senator Pettigrew, Judge
Palmer, and others addressed the con
vention. The pops concluded that
they would give one railroad commits
sioner to the boiling free silver repub-
licans (probably Judge Palmer), and.
four presidential electors to the demo-
Gratis, and they keep the rest. The
STAR hasn't received the report of the
convention in full, and the balance of
the state ticket is not known at this
writing. The platform declares against
private monopoly of public necessities,
favors government ownership of rail-
roads, free coinage of silver, postal
savings banks, direct legislation, elect
ion of U. S. senator by direct vote of
the people, congratulates Pettigrew,
praises Kyle, ETC., etc.

The Argus-Leader of the 10Th inst.
comes out with the national and state
republican ticket, with the exception
of Crawford, candidate for congress,
at the head of its columns. The Ar
gus-Leader has heretofore been demo-
cratic, but is unable to endorse the
platform adopted by the democratic
national convention last week. In IN
editorial commenting on the state re-
publican ticket the Argus-Leader says:
"The remainder of the ticket is the
strongest which the state has e in
its history. Mr.. Ringsrud is clean,
able, experienced and popular. He
would make a strong governor, and he
would be his own master and THAT of the
state offices. Mr.. Gamble has a record
which has reflected the highest credit
on the state and for a first term man
has shown remarkable ability and sue
cess. Mr.. Mayhem is one of the ablest,
cleanest and most independent news.

won the fight because of his vigorous
and manly stand for what he consid-

Crane and Lockhart, have been tried
in their offices and have been eminent

spect and admiration. The other NOM
inees are all men of high ability and
integrity and will, if elected, make
most admirable officials. Onthe whole
the ticket is a very strong one and is

1t is a delight to travel through the
eastern part of South Dakota at this
season of the year, and especially SO
this year. The great fields of magnif-
cent grain of all kinds never promised
a more bountiful harvest, and the un-
cultivated prairies are covered with a
mammoth growth of grass. The beau
tiful groves. great green fields of corn
and ripening fields of early grain pre-
sents a charming landscape. In some
portions of the state the outlook is not
so promising for a big crop, though
a poor outlook is an exception. The
general average is going to be splendid.
South Dakota real estate is all right
and no better opportunity will ever
present itself for investment than the
present.

Y THEIR

In the nomination of William j.
Bryan for president the democrats
named as radical a populist as though
he had sailed under their banner. The
only hobby he rides outside of the pop
ulist doctrine is free trade. That is
the first "ism" he ever took up and he
fought for it until it was a dead issue.
Then he took up free silver and is one
of the strongest and ablest advocates
of that policy-his theory on this ques-
ton and his magnetic eloquence and
attractive personality securing him the
nomination. Mr.. Bryan is but 36 years
of age, just old enough to be eligible to
the presidency, and was not old enough
to be nominated at the convention of
four years ago. But Bryan's public
experience is limited and his judgment
concerning questions of public policy
can not be as sound and safe as a man
of such large experience as Mckinley.
There is a probability that Bryan will
be endorsed by the st. Louis conven-
ton. The issues r clearly defined in
this campaign; Bryan representing as
completely as one man possibly could
all the isms of both democracy and
populism, while Mckinley represents
sturdy republicanism, sound protective
policy, sound financial policy; Bryan is
theoretical and pyrotechnical; McKm-
ley is practical, earnest and logical.
Bryan lacks the wisdom and Judgment
of experience; Mckinley has them all.
Both are handsome types of American
manhood, physically and mentally;
both are honorable and honest. 1t is q
battle between noble men and vital
principles; between a party ashamed of
its record, apologizing for unfulflled
pledges and paralyzing practices on
one side, and a party proud of it's
achievements and faithful to every
promise and trust. The republican
party is prepared for the fray.

Immediately after the nomination of
Bryan some theatrical manager tele-
graphed the "boy orator" that he would
give him (Bryan) $4,000 for three
speeches in Madison Square Garden,
but the offer was wisely refused-be-
cause he did not want to make a grand
stand play. But afterwards Mr.. Bryan
selected Madison Square Garden for
the place at. which he would receive
formal notice of his nomination. This
is of cours not done for a grand stand
play.

1t may have been regarded a right
smart trick by the Picker supporters
to have defeated A. B. Lucas of Charles
Mix county, in his candidacy for the
legislature because he wouldhave been
a formidable worker for his eminent
father for United States senator. But
such efforts only conspire to make
"Old Shady's" chances much.stronger.

will not lose sight of him nor forget
the little Charles Mix episode. He is

SOME FACTS.

The treasury department has given
out the coinage report for June. Our
mints were by no means idle during
that time, the last month of the fiscal
year. The number of coins struck off
was 12,7S0,6l5, an average of over a
half million pieces a day. The value
of these coins was s4,623,929. OF these
l4O.9s2 were gold pieces, amounting
to s2,471,213, but about three-fourths
OF them were minor coins, made of
nickel and copper, 9,496,21O in number,
worth s2O2,O19. There were l,643,4223
subsidiary silver coins (halves, quar-
ters, and dimes), leaving just 100000
dollar pieces.
From a monetary point of view the
coins are divided into two classes.
First, the full legal tender coin, good
for the payment of all debts, public
or private, large or small; and second
those which are legal tender for only a
small amount. The first are STANDARD
money!" or "money of redemption;
the second "token money" or money
OF convenience in small transactions,
pocket money. The first class en-
braces the silver dollar no less than
the gold pieces; the second class EN-.
braces equally the subsidiary silver
and the nickels and coppers.
This shows those of the silverites who
have been bowling that the govern.
ment is no longer coming silver since
the repeal of the Sherman law by the
present administration, that nearly
half of the output of the mints of the
government is coined in the white
metal.
This June coinage throws a strong
and clear light upon the financial
pledge embodied in the republican
platform. That platform pledges the
party to maintain "the existing gold
standard" The republican party
promises that every one of those mil.
lion and a half of silver dollars shall
be kept on a par with gold, shall be as
good as gold. The party does not pro.
pose to deprive the silver dollar of its
full legal tender quality, but rather to
maintain it. The act of 1873 did de.
prive silver dollars, what few we then
had and all we might afterwards coin
of their legal tender quality. It re.
duced the dollar piece to the subsid.
larry level. But the act of 1873 restored
1t, and that restoration the party
pledged to make ~inviolate.
The free silver democrats are trying
their best to fool the people and make
them believe that the republican party
ls the enemy Of silver.
