KYLE's SUCCESSOR
TO Be APPOINTED.
Several Prominent Republicans Are
AvOwed Candidates for Va
cant Senatorship.
REP, BIC SPECIAL.

RE-PJ BLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July ga successor to the
late Senator Kyle Of South Dakota will be
appointed by the Governor Of the State to
serve until March 3. 1905 or until action is
taken by the Legislature which Is to be
elected in November. 1902. and which will
meet in January, 1903.
The present Governor Of South Dakota.
Mr.. Heriod, is a Republican, so there is no
chance Of q Populist or Democrat being APP
pointed, and thus Mr.. Pettigrew will be
barred. unless he chooses to make fight
for the next Legislature. It Is considered
very doubtful, however. whether Mr.. Pet
tigrew will again enter the lists for sena-
torial honors.
At present he Is engaged in repairing the
inroads made upon his personal FORTUNES oy
his political ambitions Mr.. Pettigrew mas
mado several fortunes. and. It is eaid. has
spent them mainly in politics. Within the
last few months he has laid the foundation
for another financial career, and, at this
time. ia engaged in building substantial
superstructure.
At this time interest attaches to tho per-
sonality Of the probable candidates for APP
pointment by the Governor. 1t Is said tnat
tho man who probably stands the best
of Sioux Falls. He was former national
committeeman, made the campaign OF 1885
for the Republicans, ana Is one OF the &c
knowledged leaders OF the Republican phr-
ty in South Dakota.

be making money on a large scale in the
practice Of law. He 10 the attorney for sew

full If he would again re-enter the political
field that he has practio ally abandoned.
Colonel Coe !. Crawford OF Huron Is
prominently mentioned in connection with
the senatorship. He was formerly Attorney
General Of South Dakota. and in 1895 was
with Mr.. Gamble. Colonel Crawford IS
also a railroad attorney, and enjoys an ex-
tensive law practice.
Representative Burke, It Is assumed. will
also be a candidate for appointment
Judge Campbell Of Aberdeen. the home OF
Senator Kyle, Is mentioned.
G. A. Matthews, who was delegate In
Congress in the territorial days, and Thos
Sterling of Redfield. Grand Army man
and orator. will probably seek the appoint
ment
Captain Lee Slower. who has Philippine
war record. and who came into prominence
by his controversy with Senator Pettigrew
over the American policy in the Philip
pines, will probably be q candidate.
There Is some doubt as to whether the
appointment OF the Governor will be for
the unexpired term only, or whether the
man chosen will also be selected to stand
for reelection by the Legislature. There
will probably be q. conference of the Lead
ers on that subject In the near future.
