BLOODY HANDS.
Another incident of the same character was
the doctors reception of Charley Clark, who
was awful glad to see the doctor and held out
his hand for hand shake. The doctor, look
ing Charley square in the eye, said well, I
will shake hands with almost anybody, but l
fear there's blood on your hands" Clarke
presented the doctor with tract of Bill Kings
side-show, and disappeared.
yER1TABLE WAR PAINT.
While good many delegates had their war
paint on, fguratively speaking, only one, SO
far as known, was really and in fact in colors-
Hon. 1. V. d. Heard, the delegate from Wilkin,
formerly of Ramsey county. This gentleman
was solid for Stewart, and worked for him in
dustriously-so energetically that it caused the
blue OF his hat lining to bleach out and spread
itself over his manly brow, giving him sky
blue appearance far more striking than hand
some.
DOWN ON THE BILLS.
The period of waiting that followed Mr..
Washburn's nomination by Hon. J. B. Gill
lillian, was probably the most painful ever seen
In convention. Mr.. Stewart having refused
to.allow his name to be presented to the con-
vention, Ramsey county had decided to give
its vote to Mr.. Mcclure of Stearns county,
whose name it was understood was to be pre-
| sented. just as Mr.. Gillian concluded, the
gentleman to present Mr.. McClures name, in
formed ramsey county member that he would
not haveit. This lett the anti Washburn delega-
| ton at sea. Capt Blakely saw the situation,
and having already swallowed SO much that
another dose of three card monte" nastiness
would not seriously affect him, made the mo-
ton that the nomination be by reclamation.

but having decided to eat dog they took it
down with one gulp. And then for the first
time little villain Fletcher seeing the full
frnition of his s'three card monte work, smiled
a smoie, and the entire gang joined in brisk
characterization of hands, the only demonstra-
ton that by the greatest stretch could be called
| enthusiastic by the entire convention.
LITTLE FELLOW FROM 1sANTI
Noticableamong the prominent delegates to the
convention was little man from Isanti county,
who was having most elegant time of it. He
was Stewart man all through. and at first was
anxious to have some Washburn cuss tread on
the tail of his coat. But toward noon it be-
gan to dawn on his not very clear intellect tina,
Washburn had the inside track, and he grew
morose and discouraged. "Hic-say my
frien'" he whispered to u GLOBE
man., taking him confdentially by
the buttohole, Are you a-hic-d elegntei'
he was answered in the negative. '.Well-hic-
say, mister want you to tell me-dam if
don't think they We got Stewart skooped-wha
Id We say? Hicr' 1t looks So was the an
swer. "Well-hic-say, mister, dam if l cam
lick Washington any of his frens
an III do it If Doc says 50. See if don't
hic!'-and then he wandered off, looking afte
a Washington delegate"
