South Dakota Against Silver.

By a vote of 240 to 152 the “sound money” men Wednesday obtained control in the democratic state convention, held at Aberdeen. The financial plank is as follows: "The democratic party of South Dakota is in favor of the present standard of value in our monetary system and the use of full legal tender silver coins and paper convertible into coin on demand in such quantities as can be maintained without impairing or endangering the credit of the government or diminishing the purchasing or debt-paying power of the money in the hands of the people.” Other resolutions oppose any effort to materially alter the “present just and conservative tariff,” and pronounce against secret political organizations.
