Ynnkton, S. D.,sJuly 14.-The action
of the popnlist and democratic con-,
sventions, which concluded their labors
here yesterday after nominating
fusion congressional and state tickets,
as. well asspresidential electors, gives
general satisfaction to those support
ing antf-republican principles. of

always the case after a convention,
on the part of those who were de-
feated in their ambition, but fusion
leaders say that these will notsaffect,
the general result of the election in.
this state next fall. The ticket is be-
lieved by fusionists to be as strong
a one as could be nominated under all
the circumstances. The only discord-
ant note in the democratic convention
