Wilcox of Yankton, a deiegate with "a gift of gab," took the platform after various motions to adjourn had been loudly voted down and presented the name of "ongreesinan (iambic for renomination. Tlie speaker had extremely bad sledding, as the conven tion was in no mood to listen to a windy effort of this character, but he finally got Mr. (iambic's name squarely before the convention. The nomination of Mr. (iambic was then made unanimous by acclamation, and in response to repeated and prolong-d e that gentleman returned hi- tl and made his acknowledgments a most happy,, takinc uay.

Crau-foril Hurmitifr Mute 1 the sc -ond eojtgr'-ssman II hi Hughes- presented the name of Aliu ney Ueneral Crawford in a flowery speech, and Uueil of Pennington, also a good speaker, did as much for Judge William (i.»rdner.

On the roll call twenty four of the Minnehaha county delegates declined to \oti| and a proposition to p'-rmit the remainder to cast the full vote of the delegation was no sanctioned, because it was not yet understood whether or not the dis affected siiverites had withdrawn from the convention. Crawford was nomi nated on the fust ballot, and the choice was made unanimous by acclamation amid wild cheering, lie there.iprrn paid his respects to the convention in a very iitting and characteristic manner. The (iubrrii itorliil Struggle. Sherwood of Clark nominated Greeley, Ericson of Union nominated Ringsrud, Steiner of Lincoln nominated Gilford, and Boucher of MePbcrson nominated Herreid. Haie"s name was not present ed. The first ballot was undecisive, the candidates lining up exactly as fore casted for several weeks past. Before the second roll call was com pleted the friends of Greeley helped to start the landslide toward Ringsrud. Codington and Deuel and other counties swinging solidly into line, and jJon Homme, Lawrence and other large delegations coming in strong for the Union county candidate. Mr. Rings- u 's nomination was made unanimous and, like previous nominees, he was dulv presented to the convention. So rapid and decisive were the changes to Rincrud that the final and conclu sive ballot was left in an incomplete state. Bolters. Rumors of a bolt by a portion of the Minnehaha delegation were confirmed at this juncture by J. H. J. Black, a young delegate from Sioux Falls, who arose and positively statwl that .yyjontv o( the Minnehaha members had U ft the hall and in all probability the party as well, lie charged that the bolters were tinder the domination and dictation of Senator Pettigrew, and that they came to the convention not as Republicans out as the covert enemies of the party. He said E. W. Caldwell had been dis placed as chairman because ho woiild Sot follow their lead (loud shouts for Caldwell). C. A* Jewett, whom he pronounced the rankest n v hall. He extracts from speeches of Blaine McKinley, more or less pertinent at 'time, which he claimed were in rty accord with the position he and most rabid free s.lver.te trodding God's green earth, had bten placed on the delegation though origin ,, neither a delegate nor alternate. Mirk sV-l.tt, also on th ter had l»«n a KopuW.can, and hw v running Senator Teller s miner was now running name at its editorial head for president. Fifteen delegates from Minnehaha, the speaker fail, remained and could be counted upon for tneir loyalty ana haelity. In the absence of the "others the chair announced that the delegates heir seats were empowered to cast the fu.l vote of their county. Mr. Black's speech was as fuel to the excitement, and for a time pandemonium held full a HlHL'verv k Hil!s Palmer, he inquired. g-od Kepubh.-an. willing to leave the dtllerences ot the party to the majority, is he about to walk out of the con vention and take a fast train for Chica go. Is he about to join Pitchfork Till man and that unregenerated rebel, Sen ator Daniel, the temporary chairman of the Chicago convention? Folk,wing personal remarks of this pertinent order, which cut like the keen blade of a scim itar, the ex senator made an elaborate argument on the money question and painted in vivid speech the fallacies and errors of judgment of the 10 to 1 crowd. temper of the convention was hard lv suited perhaps to a discussion of this kind, but Judge Moody's points were so strongly and clearly made and his witti cisms and thrusts so keen, that his ex tended remarks y• Senator Thurston's remark in n X)uis convention, that there "til. remained a sufficient number of delegates to transact the business of tho convention, was repeated and stirred nearly everybody to a white heat of en thusiasm. he names of the bolters, twenty in all, are Palmer, Bates, Cherrv, Morcom, Gunderson, Bragstad, Arneson, Sund back, Kull, Love. Jewett, Austin,Ordahl, Lien, Lyman, Walts, Kreiser, Kings bury, Bright and Williams. Those who remained were McKinnon, Ravndahl, Hill, Jensen, Caldwell.Swen son, Olson, Smith, Simmons, Emerson, Nesbit, Lockwood, Black and Parmley. It was announced that O. 11. Smith had been chosen chairman. 1 he bolting delegates, it is reliably learned, repaired to quarters outside the building and took preliminary steps for attending or having representation at the Populist state convention a Huron next week. Lieutenant Ciovertior. D. T. Hindman of Britton, Marshall county, was nominated lieutenant gov ernor over L. A. Foote of Brule county. A partial roll call showed Mr. Hindman so greatly in the lead that he was made th" unanimous choice. Secretary of state W. II. Roddle of Brookings was nomi nated much in the same manner for secretary of state over Charles Thomson of Hand. Thomson's following was small and lacked enthusiasm, and Rod lie wuc finally given a unanimous vote. TomHusoii Comes In. A sensation was in store for the convention at this time. It was authori tatively stated by a Sioux Falls dele gate J. Tomlinson, Jr., 1 if Sioux Falls Argus Leader. La 1. n view of the endorse ment of a 10 to 1 plank at Chicago and the endorsement of the St.. Louis plat form by South Dakota Republicans, given his adherence and allegiance to tho Re publican party and somid money, and would hereafter advocate the cause of both in his paper, heretofore the lead ing Democratic daily of this part of the west. Three cheers were successively given for Tomlinson, for Caldwell of the Sioux Falls Press and for Minnehaha county. Mr. Tomlinson subsequently appeared in the convention and person ally confirmed the statement of his posi tion. The entire incident created a vast amount of good feeling and precipitated one of the most impressive and exciting periods of the convention. The I'ettigrew ltegoliM Ion. All resolutions and talk aimed at Senator Pettigrew culminated in the adoption of the following: "Resolved That by bolting the St. Louis eonven i tion.

Attorney 5eneral. S. V. J' ncs of Turner was nomii ated for this otlice by a large majority over S. E. Wilson of Fali River. The roll call was not completed, the partiality of the convention for Mr. Jones being so evi dent. Brown cast a solid 21 for Jones, State Superintendent. The present superintendent, Cran $ T. D.

Loekhart, was renominated by acclama tion. Railroad Commissioner. Two names from the Hills district were presented, viz: D. W. McFadden of Custer and Dr. Wm, G. Smith of Meade.

Maty physicians, according to a lec turer on dietetics, are ordering thin bread and butter for delicate patients, especially those suffering from dys pepsia, consumption .and anaemia, or any who need to take on flesh. This ihin bread and butter insensibly in duces persons to eat much more but ter than they have any idea of. It is extraordinary, says the lecturer, how short a way a pat of fresh butter will go if spread on a number of thin slices •V bread. This is one advantage, and a great one. in the feeding of invalids, for they are 1 hereby provided with an excellent form of the tat which is so essential for their •nutrition in a way that lures them to take it without re llion.
