Conflicting Elements.
/ AS illustrating the nature of the con-
fiicting elements which go to make up
| the convention. the case of South Da-
kota may De cited. There is one OF the
| hottest kind of fights on from that
/ state. and the contest as presented to
| the national committee yesterday at
/ tracted great deal of attention. The
regular delegation is headed by eN-
Senator Fettgrew, who eight years
| ago walked out of a republican nation
al convention in ST. Louis and headed
| the small group of boilers who went
over to Bryan on the coinage question.
! Pettigrew is here for Hearst. But a
contesting delegation is on hand, head
ed by Ii. II. Smith This delegation
| has on ii men like Joe Moore, Pat
| Wickhem and John Bowler, who are
| the old-line democrats of the state The
contest, as recited in an exhaustive
! document, recited that the convention
which selected the Pettigrew delega
| lance was made with certain republi-
cans by Which it was controlled to the
exclusion of democrats; that men who
sre not and never have been demo-
Gratis were on the committee. etc. Most
significant. however. was a showing
that an effort was made to pledge the
! delegates to stand by the nominees of
the st. Louis convention, but the reso-
luton WAS voted down. and that Sen-
ator Pettigrew declared on the floor of
the convention that he would not sup
port Cleveland if he was nominated.
Smith Is nm eloquent young democrat
who got his training in Kentucky. and
he is making It very hot for the others.
Senator Pettigrew shows. however.
that for the past iive years he has been
2 democrat and openly and avowedly
such and that he is in good standing,
at least with the Bryan wing of the
party.
Democratic Harmony.
Flow the democrats love each other

and posters distributed. For instance,
here was one made use of generally:
Parker, the fiuke. 1S97.-Ran for
chief Justice of the court of appeals.
Received $4,000 less votes than did
Bryan in 1900. The combined vote of
Greater New York for mayor exceeded
that of justice of the court of appeals
by $4,000, showing that that number of
voters did not east ballot for either
candidate
"ParSer's election was due to the fact
that Wallace's name did not appear up
on the Lew ballots In the Greater New
York Otherwise he would have been
defeated l,y at least 10000.
another referred to David g.. Hill,
as the Jonah of New York politics.
and demLnded that the cry should be
Overheard with our JONAH at the
same time declaring that Parker was
carrying Hill. Still another was:
Colonel w. j. Bryan, anti-Parker
convention, Cooper Union, New York,
June goth. said:
Il agree with Mr.. Hinrichs that the
great question in this campaign is not
the money question or the trust queS-
ton or Imperialism, or any other one
question, but it is the question as to
whether we will have plutocracy or
a democracy"
Parker is the candidate of the Bel
monts the sugar trust, and kindred
monopoiits and special privileges. All
democrats can unite on Bryans declar-
alton, but can never unite on Parker's."
