among the members of the Republican COM
mittee for this Congressional district as to the
proper basis of representation in this conven-
ton; and
WHEREAS The only county seriously affected
by the basis of apportionment of delegates
made by said committee is the county of Ram
sey; therefore
Resolued, That.for this convention the county
of Ramsey be allowed twenty four delegates.
The reading of the resolution ended, Mr.. q.
X. Davis, Of Ramsey, protested against it on
behalf of his delegation, and moved to lay it
on the table.
George Camp raised the point that the reso-
luton was not in order. The convention must
first know who were delegates before such &C
ton would be proper. He therefore moved to
refer to the committee ON credentials.
MIR. b. E. Drake held that Camps point was
well taken.
MIR. Davis withdrew his motion, and the res
olutiOn was referred,
On motion of j. NJ. Shaw, Of Hennepin, q
committee of three was appointed on perma-
nent organization, as follows: j. nj. Shaw.
+. G. Comstock, and Horace Thompson
Col. Graves, of Duluth, moved the appoint
ment of a committee of five on resolutions,
which motion prevailed. And the chair APP
pointed the following: G. FL. Graves, Duluth;
j. B. Gilfllan, Hennepin; E. F. Drake Ram
sey; j. H. Van Dyke, Douglas; E. B. Searles,
Stevens.
The committee then took recess to 2:3O.
THE BULLDozING COMMENCES.
The proceedings as above we're as usual tame,
the only significance being the declining mood
in which the Ramsey delegates were found,
each name mentioned on the different commit
tees promptly declining the appoint
ment. Chairman Nelson had, however,
been thoroughly instructed in his part, and in
sisted upon his appointment, and Hansey was
forced to dance to three-card monte music.
After the recess had been declared, the dele
gates generally, with the exception Of those
from Ramsey, left the hall. The hall cleared,
the Ramsey delegation met in one corner of
the room and discussed the situation, E. F.
Drake and O'Driscoll, evidently the leaders of
the fighting ring, laying down the law and
gospel of the situation with an earnestness
that left little doubt as to what they meant.
Having received the cue, the delegation retired
for the secret congress with Hennepin men
toned elsewhere. And they looked so happy
as they walked away to the slaughter
The Clans Rcconvene.
Though the recess was taken to $3.50 o'clock,
it was fully clock before "three-card monte
trickster' Nelson called the convention to or
der, the delay being due to the absence of the
congress of the Ramsey and Hennepin county
delegations, the results of which are fully set
forth hereafter.
The convention being called to order, the
committee on credentials by Mr.. Seip, the
chairman, made the following report of per-
