JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

n The Republican Convention OF thes
Second judicial Circuit met at Sioux
Falls Tuesday according to published
call. Every county in the circuit was
The utmost harmony
prevailed, In marked contrast to thet
predictions and representations OF thef
Sioux Falls Press. Judge Jones was
reconstructed by rising vote, the en-
tire delegation without any divisioni
voting for him. Indeed only one can
didate was presented to the convention
no second being made when anotherI
candidate was mentioned. The popu-
list politicians have tried very hard toI
organize mon partizan' movement
with the partizan design OF defeating
Judge Jones. They have lamentablJ
failed 70 stampede the republican
ranks In any degree. Then they rang
aN the changes on the unpopularity on
Judge Jones with the bar, a sufficient
answer to which was the fact that al
large portion OF the lawyers Of the cir,
cult were members Of the convention,
ana heartily In favor OF Judge Jones.
The simple fact of the matter is Judge,
Jones administered bitter dose OF
strict Justice to one OF the Press stock
holders few months ago, and now the
Press Is vindictively and mendaciously
seeking revenge. The effect SO far has
been to consolidate republican ele-
ments that otherwise might have been
somewhat discordant. Unless change
. made In their tactics the Press can
be relied upon to overwhelmingly elect
Juoge Jones.
