Sioux Falls Press, IL: The silver
people will caucus tonight for the selec.
ton oil delegates to the county judicial
convention. There appears to be but
little interest taken in the matter, as
there seems to be no contest within the
ranks Of the silver people. 1t is probable
that a resolution will be passed at the
convention next Saturday ~instructing
Minnehaha cou1ty's thirty-eight dele
gates for Judge Wilkes. Moody and
Lake will probably also do the same,
and this will give Judge Wilkes sixty
eight delegates in the circuit convention.
This is q majority OF five. It is report

in MoCook county for the selection of
delegates favorable to Judge Palmer,
but it Is not unlikely that Judge Wilkes
will also receive the support of Mc(ook's
sixteen votes. 1t is generally believed
here that the action of, Minnnehaha
county will settle the contest, so far as
the silver peoples nomination is con.
cerned.

be effective in all cases, hut they have
saved at least one life in Watertown.
