A WILD SCENE. Sioux Falls. S. Da.. May. 10. During the discussion this evening, of a plan of a selecting Vice Presidential nosni- j nee, an incident occurred which threvy the convention into an uproar and which, for a few moments, threatened to result in a free fight. Chairmm Thomas I". Patterson announced that he had a package of letters . for the South Dakota delegation. It was found on a chair and was possibly lost by soihe member of the delegation. Former Congressman John F. Kelly, of South Dakota, irho.had been 'clamoring- far recognition all day, at once advanced and, with his voice shaking with anger. said: "The South Dakota delegation is glad to receive tins recognition lro;ii tne chair for it is the only recognition it has received, from you. You are a miserable bunco-steerer. You came in to this convention with professions of good taith, You are not fit to presioe over a Populist convention, and yon never will again." In an instant there was an uproar ami cries ot rut rum out were nearu. "I rise to a point of order , 'shouted Kellv. "I stand on my rights and you cannot bunco me out of them". Then turning toward the wildly shout ing' delegates he yelled: "I defy you. 1 defy you to put me out." Pale with passion, he again turned toward Chairman Patterson and. point ing his finger at him. cried: "You. sir. are trying to gratity .1 petty sjpite, origi nating in louay s comei i uum . .Amid cries of "Put him out," "Shut up," and "Shame on you." . Kelly re turned to his delegation, every member of which was standing on his feet. Fin ally the excited delegates quieted down somewhat for a moment. "The chair desires to make an ex planation." said Chairman Patterson. "'I have honestly endeavored to let the convention hear from both skies in suc cession." "I deny that as a falsehood." broke in Kelly, and again the convention be came a perfect pandecnonium. Several excited detegates stripped off their coat, ready for business.) while a gray-bear 1 ed but brawny delegate ran toward Kelly. He was, however, stopped be fore he reached him.
