There are several things in his favor. how
ever. He is popular in other counties Of
the Hills And he has a fortune with which
to pursue the game TO the end. Fall
River republicans are fond OF him, and
VIII probably stay by him in most any
contest which may arise. He was orig
lnally proposed for congress by that coun-
ty and his work for the national sana-
tor1um at Hot Springs has entrenched him
in his position. ] III.
The Lead City republicans are not so
happy as they might be. With the best
city IN the Hills and, the second in the
state. they feel they have played second
fiddle! to sDeadwood's first long enough.
They complain that Deadwood gets most
OF the offices and all the advertising. The
appropriation for a government building
at DeadWood has intensified the feeling
and the thought is coming home more and
more that Lead should reach out for the
prestige and advantages which it's COM
mercial Importance deserves. There will
be something doing in this county before
another state convention Is held.
DR.. Stewart Wants Another.
One, of the best. known characters at
the convention was DR.. Stewart, mayor Of
Hot Springs. The doctor has legislative
record to be proud Of, but he intends to
make one more, essay before retiring. He
10 d CduuludLS 1DT nomination from + all
River to the lower house and says he will
get it and be elected Just what his am
billions are after he is elected he does
not say, but it seems clear there is more
than one hen on. He has had an unique
legislative experience and has helped to
elect four United States senators-two in
Nebrask when as a member OF the
first state legislature he voted for Thayer
and Upton, and two in South Dakota,
when he cast his ballots for Pettigrew
and Moody. Hot Springs and Fall River
owe good deal to Mr.. Stewart. He was
a member OF the last but one of the ter
ritorial legislatures and against great,
odds secured an appropriation for the
building of soldiers home at the
Springs, This was the beginning and no
one knows what the end will be. The
government has just given $4,000 for a
national sanatoriun in connection with
the home and it is expected to spend
millions there before the entire scheme is
worked out. .:
&c. A. Blake, the heavyweight, was at
the convention. He is, register Of the
Huron land office and his reappointment,
1t is said, will be made in a few days. For
this he has to thank Senator Kittredge.
The state, >''push," generally, was behind
Willmarth. But. Kittredge took stand
for Blake and was not to be moved. Huron
is the home of Crawford and originally
was strongly anti Kittredge, Blake has
some strong friends there and these. have
been more than7mollified by the fight the
senator has made for him. Hence Beadle
county found it no great trial to support
the senator at the late convention;
Some Other Personal Mention.
Mr.. Crawford was delegate to the state
convention, but he never broke silence.
Some of his friends thought there was
49,, 81 -,
to ignore him and complained among
themselves. They felt he would have .shone
as either temporary or permanent chair
man and that his abilities entitled him to-
such an honor: They asserted time and
again that the managers found Mr.. Craw-
ford a. very useful man on the: stump in
close campaigns, but. gave him the cold
shoulder when the battles were won and
party honors were to be: passed around.
They do not give UP Mr.. Crawford's cause
as lost, but intimate he will be heard from
four years from now, when another toga
is in the balanee.== = ( r.. .:tG1 =. +
E. T. Cressys and Adjutant General
Conklin were among the old men seen in
the convention crowds. Both have had
interesting histories in the west. As, LATE
Young of Des Moines was the principal
speaker before Interstate republican, league
it was recalled8that MIR. Greasy and ex-
Governor Llewellyn of Kansas once pur-
chased the Daily Capital, of which Mr..
Young is now owner, and gave it the
name which it bears. Before they issued
their first number Mr.. Llewellyn decided
he did not care to- engage in the, news
paper business and the deal was never
carried. out. He went to Kansas and Mr..
Greasy pushed on farther west, and started
daily paper)Nin territorial times at
Huron, the first between Yankton on the
south and the Northern Pacific line on
the north. Judge Conklin says his work
in organizing two regiments of guards
has been so arduous that he has renewed
his YOUTH and his personal appearance
goese to bear out his claims. TE,s
: Tom Bushella of the Minnehaha county
delegation was chosene state central COM
mitteeman- fromLt that county. This was
not because of any special regard for him,
but rather toEtake, a dig at SWenson,
warden of the state penitentiary, and Gov
ernor Herreid, who appointed him.
