A writer on Klondike customs and
dangers says, in the Independent, that
there is here, as everywhere, class OF
ex-criminals whom the lone voyagef

word came from the hospital OF the
death of his victim and where a few
moments before the highwayman faced
the prospect of a term of Imprisonment
and was driven mad he has now the
vision of the galIows and a hangman' $

The death of Colonel Prouse was no
more tragic than the SCATTERING of the
prisoners mind. Up TO Z p m there

and defiant bandit. Until Z there was

of the three state ccnventions-Dem
cratic, silver Republican and Populist,
which met in this city yesterday and re-

committees have been appointed to ar
range the division of Offices
When the Democratic convention met
this afternoon the committee on resOIlI-
lions not being ready to report Governor
Charles s. Thomas addressed the conven-
ton. He devoted himself to answering
criticisms made by the opposition press
upon the present fusion administration.
which he declared had been nerfectIv
harmonious from first TO last and in a
bitter denunciation of United States SEN
ator WOlcott. His words were most
caustic and he closed that part of hjS
speech with these words:
now charge that the senatorial office
OF Edward o. Wolcott is merely an asset
OF Wall street brokerage firm. and that
the firm is preparing to debauch the Colo
RADIO legislature with money through VOL

Governor Thomas was followed by Con
gresham John G. Bell, who evoked on
tnus1aSt1c applause by referring to Mr.
Bryan as the greatest living America
and declaring that the only man who an.

Yankton, S. D., Sept 1.-THE demon
stration here tonight in honor of Gov
ernOr Roosevelt's arrival was almost
unequaled in the history of this small
city. The train arrived at O'Clock, and
the party was driven through the
crowded streets TO a platform which
had been erected in one of the princi-
pal streets of the town. torch light
procession and a parade were the fea-
lures of the evening In the mounted
escort were a number of Indians clad
in their aboriginal costumes, with
blankets and feather and painted faces
After the evening demonstration the
special train pulled out for the west,
and is to make eight calls tomorrow in
the journey through the state of South
Dakota and a part of Iowa
At various stations people assembled
in more or less large crowds to get a
glimpse of the vice presidential candi-
date as he passed Among the places
at which stops We're made. were Dell
Rapids, Madison, Flandereau, Canton
Elk Point, S. D..sand Hawarden, n. D.,
and Akron. Ia
At Sioux Falls considerable of a halt

and patriotic Democrats fought for
four years ago, was at stake in the
present campaign
The silver question and not imperial
ism, he asserted, was the paramount
issue.
Senator Hanna said, in part:
II believe there are elements of dan
ger in this campaign, principal among
which is the over-confidence of the Re
publicans of the United States.
Il contend that the main issue in
this campaign is free silver, and every
collateral issue that has been injected
in this campaign has been for the pur
pose of throwing dust in the eyes of
our working people. and as manager
of this campaign, I propose that they
shall not hide this question.
After explaining that if Mr. Bryan
was elected the senate would have a
majority in favor of free silver, Mr..
Hanna concluded by saying:
Il want every man to expect to be
called upon for his services in this
campaign and to know the facts. l
don't want any sentimental idea that
we are all right, anyhow. Therefore,
say to the Republicans of the west,
there is always danger until the bal =
lots are counted, and there is danger
now and we must meet it," applause
