The Morning Work.

There was not much clearer atmos-
phere this morning over the situation
than there was the night before. At
that time b. J. Rice was agreed upon
for temporary chairman by both fact
ions, but this morning j. M. Greene
was brought out as candidate for chair
man of the machine forces, and won
out as detailed above.
Another candidate for state treasu-
rer was made public in the announce
ment of Gottlieb Doering, of McPher-
son county, in opposition to Burke of
Fall River aud Schamber, of Hutchin-
son, the latter's delegation being divid-
ed in their support. What seemed as
nearly sure ticket for nomination has
been changed somewhat by the devel-
opments of today. At one time it was
presumed that Phillips would be the
nominee for governor, Gamble and
Burke for congress. Roddle for secre-
tary of state, Doering for treasurer and
Reeves for auditor. The program,
however, now seems subject to change,
as may develop tonight.
M. F. Greeley arrived this morning
from Deuel. county and it was strongly
limited that he would be candidate for
governor. His strength, however, ia
questioned by many Of the delegates.

The Loucks Letter.

One OF the great surprises of the day
was the letter Of 81. l.. Loucks read be-
fore the convention during adjourn
ment, which was addressed to Doane
Robinson, with the request that it be
read. E. w. Caldwell read the letter.
In it MIR. Loucks made statement of
his position as determined by the act
ion OF the fusion convention at .Aber-
deem.
Mr.. Loucks stated that he was pre-
vented from being present at the con-
vention by reason of having 800 acres
OF wheat 70 thresh which would weld
him 10000 bushels, and Cal paren-
thetically remarked that when popu-
list bad that much wheat to thresh he
WAS ON the road to conversion. In his
letter Mr.. Loucks stated that he could
no longer identify himself with party
that assumed the attitude in matters
that were adverse to principles which
were dear to him, and that in the COM
ing campaign it was his intention to
align himself with the republican party,
but urged the convention TO adopt the
initiative and referendum and by doing
30 he would guarantee that 5000 mid
dle-of-the-road populists would support
the ticket. Mr.. Loucks' letter was
quite lengthy and got respectful
hearing, being frequently endorsed in
many passages by applause from the
delegates. The letter will receive the
consideration OF the convention Ut the
evening session.

The resolutions were read by Thomas

Mr.. Chairman: committee on
resolutions respectfully report the fol-
lowing:
The republican party of South Da-
kota renews its unqualified allegiance
to the great fundamental principles OF
republicanism, protection and sound
money.
We rejoice in the beneficial effects Of
those principles, resulting from the re.
publican triumph of 1896 and seen in
the general renewal of prosperity, the
outflow of hundreds of millions Of

trade, the reduction OF interest rates

Permanent Organization


The committee on permanent organ
ization reported through their chair
man and recommended that Harvey J.
Rice, of Huron, be made permanent
chairman, and ]. F. Halliday, of Iro-
quois, F. L. Mease, Of Madison, and G..
E. Nevin, Of Plankinton, three bright
newspaper men of the state, as perma-
nent secretaries, which announcement
was received with great applause. Mr..
Rice was escorted to the platform and
while he bowed his acknowled gements
the delegates cheered him to the echo.
Mr.. Rice was candidate in the morn
ing for temporary chairman but was
defeated by Mr.. Greene, who, on pre-
senting his successor, paid him most
happy compliment as to his abilities to
preside over the convention. Mr.. Rice
didn't take up any great amount OF
time in addressing the convention but
simply referred to some of the leading
questions of the day in brief manner.
Mr.. Rice during the long session made
an excellent presiding officer, but al
times he found it a difficult matter tc
keep the convention under good con.
troll. The Loucks letter was again
brought before the convention and ar
effort was made to take action in the
way of rendering congratulations to the
gentlemen in the matter of his change
of opinion on political ideas, bu1
while the convention entertained {
most kindly interest in Mr.. Loucks
letter they declined to take any action
in reference to what he had to.say.
Tho matter of nominations for state
officers was taken up at this point. tn,

Notes of Convention.

W. j. Healey and his accommodation
committee have we'll taken care of the
immense crowd Of people. Accommo-
dations have not been limited in any
respect and it has been no trouble for
stranger to secure bed or get good
meal.
Edwin VanCise, of Deadwood, is on
the ground and though not making any
particular demonstration as q candidate
for congress there is some talk that
some strength may develop in his be-
half. The idea seems prevalent in
many quarters that the Hills country
would much prefer congressman to a
governor.
There is a great many of the news
paper boys of the state press here, and
their numbers were increased last
night and this morning. There are
several brethren of the populist press
on the ground to see for themselves
how things are going.
The business men in general have
shown considerable enterprise in decor.
ating their stores, some of which are
very attractive.
There is but one contesting dele.
CATION before the convention-that ol
Douglass county. 1t seems that state
convention would be incomplete with.
out Douglass county being represented
with contest.
Jos. Gotto has his hands full in
handling the business in the Western
Union telegraph Office. With eight o,
tan correspondents sending out specials
on the convention during the day and
far into the night there is an immense
amount Of work to do, in which he ii

as postmaster Of this city fell heavily
upon several veterans Of the Grand Army
who were candidates, and now feel that
the republic is ungratefur' sometimes.
But Partridge is a member of the Re
