Senator Hanna’s speech in South Dakota railed against Bryan and urged voters to back McKinley. He argued prosperity since 1897 shows the correct path, defended Roosevelt and McKinley, attacked Bryan’s forecasts, and urged unity beyond party lines amid a pivotal election.
Senator Frye of Maine spoke first, delivering pointed remarks that summed up the national political mood. He praised South Dakota Republicans and urged support for William McKinley, asserting the party’s history and strength in the region.
The Capital reports an atrocious murder near Ashton as threshing crew member McMames is shot and killed while trying to pacify gunman Wilson. Wilson fled, a 100 dollar reward posted, later captured at Webster. McMannes lived near Northville. Wilson claimed Georgia origins and a gun settles disputes.
Bets on the election surge with substantial sums. In Huron a man stakes $5,000 on the outcome and a Democratic backer takes $1,000 to $500 against McKinley on general results in a high stakes political wager.
