The Democrats, Pupulists and Free
Silver Republicans held their respective
conventions. jointly and otherwise. Mt
Chamberlain Saturday. There was some
disposition shown on the part Of the
Populists to hold out for more Of the
offices, but on the whole a Joint ticket
aud issue was made with but very little
trouble and without unseemly wrang-
ling. The Free Silver Republicans con
tented themselves with endorsing the
actions of tho other conventions and
without seeking to hinder matters. The
ticket is practically the same as last
year in the party division. The Demo-
Gratis get the two representatives, regis
ter Of decide, sheriff, auditor, county
Judge. clerk Of courts. states attorney,

s. H. Wright va chairman of the
Democratic convention and Il. w. Hin
richs secretary. Upon taking the chair
Wright made a stirring speech that
brought do@n the house. After the ap-
polntmenr Of the committees and the
adoption of the reports, DR.. Treon read
the resolutions. They are as follows:
1. It is the sense of this convention
that the platform of the plriaed demo.
cracv, as promulgated NJ Chicago, in
1886, Is not only reafirmed, but in said
platform We recognize the reiteratiOn OF
the broad principles of the Declaration
of Independence as interpreted by the
demands aud conditions Of the times.
2. We heartily endorse the platform
Of the Democratic state convention of
this year, and pledge our earnest support
to the entire ticket nominated at Aber.
deem.
3. We not only congratulate thai
honest and fearless tribune of the people
Gov. Andrew E, Lee, upon his manly anC
lrreproachable record, but contemplate
with pride that Brlle did her whole duty
in contributing to his election.
a. We denounce tho Republican party
for Its dupiicity upon the money ques.
ton two years ago, it having declared
that 1t was in favor of the the coinage oil
silver if the same could be accomplished
through international agreement, and
then through Mark Hanna's administra,
ton having done all in its power to de.
feat what it had promised the people
promises induced thousands OF conscien.
ti0us Republicans to vote for McKinlev
and we also d%enounce the Republican
party for its betrayal Of the people upo1
the question of free homesteads, after
declaring for the same in its nationa'
platform of 1896, and WI especially com,
mend our representatives in congress tol
their manly aud able efforts to have the
free homes bill passed the house after
the gallant Pettigrew had pushed it sue
cess ully through the senate.
y. AS a rural people, engaged in ag1i'
cultural pursuits, we view with alarm
the successful efforts Of the railroads
through the.aRency of a railroad lobby
at the head Of which is the chief counsel
of the most insolent and imperiOus COR,
p0ration in the state, who is also Repub.
iican national committeeman, for this
state, to not only nominate the Republic
can state and congressional candidates
but to influence Republican legis. atlve
nominees in the several counties, and in
our opinion the success Of the ReDubIl.
can state and legislative tickets this
year would mean the undoing Of the val
liable and successful work OF the ablt
bpard of railroad commissioners for the
past two years and would also result IL
the complete robbery Of the people or
passenger and freight rates, and ut The
same time practically relieve the rail
roads OF taxation; and we pledge the
people Of Brule county that our leglslat
i've nominees stand LnswerviDgly by thu
interests Of the people of South Dakota
6. We invite the attention of the PEG.
pie OF this county to tho record OF TIT
Republican INT mbers of the state boai(
Of equalization wherein they v0tet
against taxing railway corporations t
exceed Gne-fOurth of their sworn yalua
tion, while the board raised the assess
ment of lands in this county 40 per cent
after they had been assessed for more or
an average than they would sell for.

conference of four years ago. When the
