MCCAIN WINS AT PIERRE.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THE COM
MISSIONER CASE.
GARDENERS DECISION REVERSED.
The Supreme Court Decides That Gard
ner's Action Was Wrong From Start
to Finish-State Ticket Nominated at
Huron-A Big Convention.

A telegram was received here last
Monday. that the supreme court had
reversed Judge Gardner IN the somewhat
famous case OF Gossage vs.-agCommis-
sioners OF Pennington county, and had
released A. j. Mccain on y writ OF ha-
heas corpus and held the entire Gossage
mandamus proceedings illegal and void.
The natural inclination to crow might
afford the UNION abundant opportunity
OF making some severe comment on this
case, but inasmuch as the case has been
extensively aired, we believe that when
the peoples rights have been fully vindi-
Gated, it is well to let the ma tier rest.
The UNIONS policy is not to make po-
litlcal capital out OF personalities, but
rather to urge It's political oplnlons
purely as matters OF principle.

THE PEOPLES CONVENTION.

An Enthusiastic Meeting of Representa-
tives of the Masses-A Winning Tick OF
Named.
The populist state convention has
made the following nominations:
Congressmen-J. L. Kelly, Of Day
county; Freeman Knowles, OF Law.
renee,
Governor-A. e. Lee, OF Clay county.
Lieutenant Governor - Crawthers, oi
K;ngsbury.
Secretary OF State-J. w. Hardin.
AUDITOR. H. Kipp, OF Campbell.
Treasurer-W. S. Logan.
Attorney General-M. Grigsby, OF Min
nehaha.
Railroad Commissioners = VIM. H.
Tompkins, OF Pennington county.
The platform reported and adopted is
about as follows:
For the prohibition OF private mo-
nopoly OF public necessities; that all
land owned by railroads not IN actual
use should be reclaimed by the govern
ment and sold to actual settlers; favors
government ownership of sufficient rail
road mileage to control transportation.
For free coinage of silver at 16 to l,
postal saving banks, direct legislation
and the election of senator's by direct
VOTE
For more money to increase prices
and legisla ton to maintain them; de.
nounces the present state adminlstrs.
ton; declares for the Iowa railroad law
declares prohibition should be voted
upon regardless Of party affiliations.
There was a controversy over the mi.
norlty report Recommending state con-
troll OF the liquor traffic and the report
| was DEF ated.
The platform endorses Senators Kyle
and Pettigrew and lnstructs electors to
vote for a free silver president. Dele
gates are instructed to unite with free
sllverites and Bryan is suggested as the
most available candidate.
The platfosm committee has conceded
to the silverltes one railroad c0mmls-
! sioner and to the democrats they have
| conceded four electors.
Senator Pettigrew was present and
made AN address in which he declared
himself a populist and Bryan man, as
against the subsidized, gold bug and mo-
noply press and the gang rule, pluto
Gratis and trucking followers OF the re.
publican party and stated that at least
$4,000 free silver republicans would
vote with the populists and Bryan men.
The ticket named is strong enc and
will be elected by 10000 majority or
else the people of South Dakota will
bow submissively to those eastern
patriots(?) who call the western and
southern people "whooplng desperadoes
and debt shrinkers."

Attempted Train Wrecking.

Attempted Train Wrecking.
Journal: Among the arrivals on Tues
day ornings train was Fred. M. Hans.
special agent for the Elkhorn railroad,
having in charge Charles Remington. OF
Herlnosa. The young man IN custody
was brought here to stand preliminary
trial for attempted train wrecking, the
affair taking place on the afternoon OF
July 4th. The young man arrested is q
son OF q merchant OF Hermosa and at
the time OF the act was an employee OF
the Elkhorn company in the capacity OF
section hand. Remington was brought
before Judge Cooper yesterday forenoon
at ten O'Clock and at that time plead
guilty OF the charge against hin. Fol
lowing is the written statement made
by the prisoner at the hearing Tuesday.
Spring CREEK STATION, July 13. 1896.
This is to certify that l, Charles REM
lngton, did on the fourth day OF July,
1896, obstruct the railway OF the f., E..
q Mo. V. r. r. Co., at between three
and four O'Clock p. m. OF said day by
sooeen!ng Of rail by pulling spike on one
end of same and taking of the fish
plates OF same SO that the rall IN nay
Judgment would move out on one end
when the engine went over 1T on the
curve and also piled 1000 pounds Of
large rodk in the middle OF track, close
to bridge II 1872 high enough to raise
the engine up when 1T ran onto them.
And later took a red lantern and tagged
the passenger train; told the train men
had come upon two men
who were doing this and the fact is that
! saw no one, but did all that [ had
claimed was done myself
CHARLES REMINGTON.
After hearing the facts in the case
Judge Cooper bound the defendant over
to the next term of court in the sum OF
$500.
Other than the fact that Remington
seems to have mania for figuring as
the principal in a train wreckipg exploit
he appears to be a quiet and rational
young man. He also acknowledged to
making an attempt to wreck train in
the same vicinity as the scene OF has last
exploit last December, butwas frlgh tened
away by the arrival Of some employees
of the road.
For several days after the fourth OF
July, the time OF his contemplated
wrecking OF the passenger train, he
stoutly averred that he had seen two
men tearing up the track and had cot
his lantern and stopped the train, hop
ing that he would be rewarded for the
act. He is now in a repenitent mood
and says that he is ready to take his
punishment and says that it is the last
transaction of the kind he will ever
figure in. Remington is a young man
about thirty Years OF age. He has q
wife living on Bad river, but with whom
he has not lived for some time. He will
probably languish in The county jail un-
til he receives his tence at the Novem.
Der term of court.
