WHEEL HORSES LINED UP.
Republicans of South Dakota Ready for
Their Contention.

Their Concention.
HURON, S. D., March 24.-Nearly all
the delegates for to-morrows Republican
convention are here. The crowd is the
largest that has gathered here in many
years and includes many old wheel-horses
of The Republican party of South Dakota.
A striking feature of the personnel of the
delegates is the great number of young
men. While each delegation has its favor
ite. there are indications that concessions
will be made whereby strife within the
party will be avoided. A telegram was
received from Senator Pettigrew this even
ing, saying: "Will go as delegate if my
friends insist, and will do as convention
desires if instructed" This was received
by E. G. Caldwell of Sioux Falls, and was
a great surprise to some of Senator Petit
CREWS opponents. 1t acted like oil upon
troubled waters and did much toward quiz
eting the fears of his friends. The Nc
Kinley sentiment has grown wonderfully
While many are unable to harmonic Sen
ator Pettigrew's telegram with the express
sion that he would refuse to go to st. Louis
as an instructed delegate. there is strong
inclination to include him in the delega-
ton.
Hon. John H. King arrived from Wash
ington this evening to help inaugurate an
Allison boom. Congressman Dolliver ad-
dressed an immense throng tonight.

Publishers of the "Sifver Knight'' Not

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 24.-Sen-
ator Stewart and his partner in the publi-
cation of the Silver knight, the redoubt-
able Carl Browne, are not in good stand
ing with the Columbia Typographical
Union, which, at meeting held on Sun
day, unanimously adopted resolution di-
recting its district organizer to make an
investigation concerning the amount of
salaries which the Silver Knight pays its
compositors. The Silver knight was
started not long ago as an organ of the
Silver party. The idea, it is believed,
originated in the fertile brain of Carl
Browne, who is also the proprietor of the
illustrations which adorn its pages. The
cash necessary to start it originated with
Senator Stewart. The paper now, it is
claimed, has circulation Of go, 900. Every
man joining the Silver Knights of Amer
lea is required to pay an initiation fee of
81, half of which is for subscription to the

Friends of Harrison Ask That He Re
enter the Race.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 24.-Close
personal friends of ex-President Harrison
say that the almost certain triumph of
Mckinley in the st. Louis conven-
tion has caused prominent Republi-
cans throughout the country to food the
ex-President with letters urging him to re-
consider his determination and consent to
be candidate for the Presidential nomi-
nation. Some of the writers say it is his
duty to save the party from the Mckinley
nomination and the campaign of bitter
ness that would surely follow, owing to
the fact that he is regarded as the personi-
fication of the extreme idea in protection.
One of the writers declares that Nc
Kinley's nomination will array the East
against the West, and the manufacturer
against the producer, and thus precipitate
campaign of slander and abuse, while a
more conservative nomination would GER
tainly enhance the auspicious outlook for
Republican success. The writer's all urge
the uncertain attitude of Mckinley on the
money question.
1t is believed here that the letters will
have not the slightest effect.

My DEAR GOVERNOR; Including elections held
to-day there have been 375 delegates elected
to the National Republican Convention. There
are thirty-six contested cases which are not

by the National Committee or the convention.
OF the 375 delegates elected 154 are for Nc
Klnley, provided you concede to him the 26
from Indiana and the ] 3 from Minnesota.
Sixty-four delegates have been elected for
Governor Morton, 10 for Senator Quay, 10 tor
Senator Cullom, A for Senator Allison and 4S
for Mr.. Reed. Mr.. Reeds strength from now
until the convention will steadily increase. 1

tinued:
Il ask them to remain here to hold

Then a scene of confusion followed.
The band in the gallery started up the
tune, Hold the Fort, for l am Com
ing" and the crowd stood on the chairs
and yelled.
just then Mr.. Bryan made his APP
pearance on the stage and after the
cheering subsided, Mr.. Williams intro
duced him.
Mr.. Bryan referred to Mr.. Williams
conversion to silver by saying in part:
Il made up my mind that if George
Fred. Williams Great applause) could
fight for free coinage, against all the
hostile influences of the Bay State, /
could come and hold up his hands
while he fought the battle Of the peo-
pie. Great applause.) No part OF
this country is so far from my home
that / cannot reach it if one word of
mine or one act of mine can give en-
couragement to warrior like George
Fred. Williams. (Applause.)
Three months ago George Fred
Williams was a fanatic; he is now an
enthusiast. "a voice: "Here.") The
time will come a voice: ''To-morrow')
when his name will be written among
the heroes of Massachusetts,"
Mr.. Bryan then went on to say that
he was always willing to meet an OPP
ponent, however much he might differ
with him when he came to him in the
fair and open.
Il cannot say so much for those who.
having been defeated in fair conven-
ton, try to steal the name Democrat
from those who are entitled to it,
Continued applause) and then put up

that man who says he is for honest
money and nominates ticket for the

commence at the right place to prove
his honesty. (Applause.) I have had
something to do with gold standard
Democrats. I have seen them in Ne
braska. And therefore, I am prepared
for all sorts of underhand schemes. I
am prepared for all sorts of work in
the dark And when we have to deal
with men who, instead of fighting an
open fight, are always seeking to de-
rive some underhand advantage, we
have got to take every precaution. My
friends we cannot fight them like we
do most men," (Applause.)

pay it, a man who did not bow the
knee to Baal, or worship the golden
calf, Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
candidate for Vice-President." CTre-
mendous cheering for Sewall.)
MR.. SEWAIL'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Sewall said:
"Fellow Citizens of New England: 1t
with great satisfaction to me that /
have this chance to see the great ne
suits of the Democratic party and to
see your candidate for President, and
I will also say it is great satisfaction
to let YOU know that his associate is
still on the ticket. No less a person
than himself asked me that question
to-night-whether / was on the ticket
yet or not, and am glad of the oppor-
tunity to say, vain as it may appear for
me, your nominee for Vice-President
is still on the ticket and will always
be during this campaign and he will
not decline until after his election on
the third of November.
MY friends, we are in this fight to
stay. (Applause.) The fight is between
the people on one side, the producers
of wealth, the defenders of our coun-
try, against the prosperous class, as
we are told by the other party, the
money barons and their allies in Eu-
rope. We are told by our opponents
that we are prosperous. | admit it,
that the country has been prosperous.
The wealth of this country has in
creased, but where has it gone, have
you got it? (Cries of mo, no we want
it.')
ut has gone behind the entrench-
ments that / spoke of, where you find
the enemy, the money barons, behind
the gold standard. The greatest mono-
poly of all is the gold standard,
which is. and will continue to reduce
prices as long as it stands. The peo-
pie of this country are more interested
in this question than in any party. /
simply came here to see you, for you
have had reason to doubt from the
papers of the country whether you
had a Vice-Presidential candidate or
not. He is still living and will continue
to live and win stand by the ticket"

Schinner, 462 miles, SGT yards; Miller,
459 miles, 233 yards; Myers, 427 miles,
sS7 yards. Tt was seen early in the day
that the American record was soon to
be wiped out. This detracted some
what from the interest in the match,
but nevertheless, an immense crowd
was in the building to watch the finish

HIS SPEECH AT SPRINGFIELD.
Mr.. Bryan Gives a Reason for the
Growth of Silver Sentiment

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 25.-Greatly
refreshed by ten hours sleep, Mr.
Bryan left Hartford at 11:10 a. m. to
Invade the enemy's country" still
further. There was a small crowd at
the depot to catch a parting glimpse
of the nominee and to these Mr.. Bryan
made a few remarks.
The first stop was at Windsor, where
small crowd had gathered, carrying
the banner Mckinley and Prosperity"
There were a few cheers for him by
part of the crowd and more cheers
tor~h opponent.
At Windsor Locks, the next stop, the
assemblage was more enthusiastic for
Mr.. Bryan. There everybody wanted
to shake hands with lim and called
on him for speech. 81 am glad to
see you," was the extent of his ad.
dress and even that was applauded.
Thompsonyille also gave him cor
dial reception and he was cheersd en-
Enthusiastically by the few hundred
gathered about the depot.
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Springfield at
1905, and was met at the station by
Mayor Winter, members of the Board
of Aldermen and Geo. Fred. Williams.
A great crowd followed him to the
court house square, where he spoke to
a large audience that filed the park.
On the conclusion of the speech he
went to the Hotel Worthy for dinner,
and at 1:15 left for Boston.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan began by
paying a tribute to independent jour
nalism, and naming the Springfield
Republican as an example of political
tolerance. Mr.. Bryan referred to the
-.
and continued:
my friends, our opponents some
times tell us that this movement in
favor OF free coinage is started by the
mine owners and kept up by the mine
owners. | want them to understand
that they cannot explain this great
uprising of the people on the theory
that it is instigated by men who own
bullion and who want to sell it at
higher price. This great uprising
comes from the masses of the people
who do not produce bullion, but they
produce property, and they realize
that the gold standard has been driving
value out of the property which TIM,
produce. (Appfause.) The opposition
press may well afford to pause in their
ridicule of the advocates of free coin
age, in their denunciation as lawless
characters, to find out whether there
is well-founded reason for this adj
vocacy of bi-metallism among the
farmers of the United States, of Ire
land, Of England, of Germany, Of
France and of every nation which has
been cursed by the gold standard y
What will you say then? VIII you
say that these farmers have no right
to have their interests respected? No,
you dare not say that, because, my
friends, they must first produce
wealth before there is wealth to be
distributed. What will you say then?
That having the right to have their
interests respected, they have not the

DARING ROBBERY IN ILLINOIS.
Two Disguised Men Scoop in 81, 600 and
Make Their Escape.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-Two men
disguised committed a most dar-
ing robbery at the Union Foundry's
Office at Brighton Park, this afternoon,
and robbed the company of $1,000.
They then escaped by means of a bug
gy, but not before they had shot one
man and fired several shots into
crowd of people whOwere chasing them.
A patrol wagon gave chase, but did not
succeed in capturing the robbers.
The foundry is in a lonesome place
at the end of Brighton Park, and no
other buildings are near it. In the
Office, when the robbers entered, were
ID. f. O'Neill, president Of the COM
pany, M. "A. O'Bourke, treasurer; G.. r.
Hope, general superintendent; Charles
O'Gorman, and John O'Neill, clerks.
Mr.. O'Rourke was engaged in filing
the envelopes of the men preparatory
to paying off, and the top Of his desk
was covered with money.
The robbers compelled the five men
to line up, and while one kept them
covered with two big revolvers, the
O.her scooPed up all the money in
sight-about 81 900, and then both
made their escape. They then sprang
into buggy and drove rapidly across
the prairies.
