PopuIist Fight on.

Sioux Falls, S. d May 9.-Beautiful
spring weather favored the opening day
OF the national convention of the peo-
ples party. The delegates began work
as early as o'clock and an informal con-
ference on the much mooted question OF
the vice presidential nomination had
been held outside the cor vention tent by
the Nebraska men at that hour.
1t is not believed there will be over
1000 visitors in town. The disappoint-
ment is general. Not over 300 of the
populists' 920 delegates are here, but the
plan is to fill vacancies 80 the chances
are that every delegates seat Will be fill
ed before the real work OF the conven-
tion begins.
Two hours before the convention met
the question on which the delegates were
apparently hopelessly divided were to
nominate a man for president; to leave
the vice. presidential nomination to a
conference committee to meet with the
democrats at Kansas City and to pomi-
nate three or four men and force the
selection of one of them by the demo-
Gratis. The final and more startling
proposition is to adjourn the whole con-
vention and meet with the democrats.
Nebraska, Minnesota, Montana, Kan
sas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, South Dako-
ia and the Texas delegation which are
tho most powerful here, all went into in
dividual caucuses this morning for the
purpose of trying to reach a decision.
There is no reason to doubt the matter
will result in the hottest kind of fight
The delegates are luminous only in
their desire to help Bryan.

State Convention.

Denver, May 9.-The republican state
convention to elect four delegates at large
and four alternates at large
to the republican national
convention at Philadelphia will
meet at the Broadway theater at IL
o'clock tomorrow morning. The tenn
porary organization will be presided over
by United States Senator Edward O..
Wolcott as temporary chairman. The
republican state central committee open
ed headquarters at the Brown Palace
hotel this morning, where the roll Of
delegates was made up, and passed to
the committee on credentials for filing.
AT 2 o'clock yesterday the names of 500
of the 696 delegates, representing thirty
counties had been filed with Secretary
Brisbane.
The work of appropriating seats for
the various delegates has been complet-
ed, and tomorrow morning the Broad
way theater will be handsomely decora-
ted for the meeting, Already the com
mittee in charge of the arrangements
has acknowledged the request for tickets
to almost the full capacity OF the house l..
The delegates will fill the lower floor,
leaving the balcony for visitors who wish
to be present.
The announcement that Senator VOL
cot is in the city and will be present has
aroused great interest, and it is realized
that an immense attendance will turn
out.

Hearst, editor and publisher Of the San

equally prominent papers, claiming that
Rev. j George Gibson, the pastor of the

Accompanying the letter was very
excellent picture OF the pastor and pro-
grams of exercises in the Emmanuel
church to fortify his assertion that he
was still pastor of the church and that
he was still working in the Christian
ministry.

also received and the following commu.
cation appears therein:
THE REV. DR. GIBSON OBJECTS.
To the Editor OF the Bxanin-
er,-Sir: 1t is seldom l ask a
favor OF the papers, but should
be grateful il you could grant
me one at the present time. All
ask is little space in your
paper.
During the Durrant trial l
was willing to bear my share of
trouble, and no one ever accused
me OF saying otter things about
my critics. Five years and
more have passed since the muir
ders were committed. l have
remained in the city and in the
same church. People have had
every opportunity to test my
character. My ability as a min
ieter has also been proven by
the fact that have been sue
cessful, in spite of all the trou-
bles.
Now, after all these years, the
eastern papers arc publishing
the fact that am dead, after
having made a confession of the
two murders have had the
doubtful pleasure Of reading my
death in three papers and the
news is going around. Had l
retired into obscurity, there
might be some ground for the
statement of my death, but here
I am in great city, preaching
TO hundreds Of people every
Sunday.
1 do feel like complaining now
for it seems like persecution
from which have no protection.
have remained at my post and
stood every test the public has
applied to me. In spite OF all
The daily sentinel. [volume] (Grand Junction, Colo.) 1893-current, 1900-05-10

| plans formed against me, the
church has prospered, and il
am not mistaken l do not occu-
[ py the lowest place in the San
Francisco ministry.
| 1t is unusual for man to ask
apaper to announce that he is
alive. l ask you to do it, how
ever, in the hope that the east
ern papers, after a long while,
may get the news.
Thanking you in advance,
remain, Yours heartily,
j. George Gibson.
San Francisco, April 18, 1900.
1t has never been nor ever will be the
policy Of the Sentinel to maliciously in
jure the character or reputation OF any
man. 1t has lived seven years in this
city and its success has come from the
fact that it has never been any mans
no one but themselves and it therefore
desires to do what reparation it can in
denying the story regarding Rev. Glib
son.
1t is the first and only time during
that period that it has published story
WulCu tuEbou Out " Do a
fake pure and simple. The paper or its
editor is not infallable and is liable to
err at any time, but because of the sus-
picions which were directed at the time
Of the trial, which was world famous,
against Rev. Gibson, it was led into the
error, after it had exhausted every
means to find out the truth of the ar
ticle.
The retraction was held in the hopes
that cut Of Rev. Gibson made from the
picture sent by him to The Sentinel
would return in time, from Chicago to
be published with this article, but it
not having arrived the article in retrac-
ton is now published.
Other letters have since been reserved
from Rev. Gibson and the charitable
spirit which he shows In the matter is
certainly very creditable to him, and is
in comport with the character Of
Christian minister
Hoping that, 30 far as The Sentinel is
concerned this denial of the story will go
as broadcast as the original article and
that no permanent injury has been done
Rev. Gibson, The Sentinel feels that it
has performed its duty justly.
