Whole number votes cast. 100
Necessary to a choice. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. IS
DR.. A. II. Hedderly. 40
DR.. Peter Nelson. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. sc
The profane candidate of the Democracy
Or. DANNY received three votes.
Dr. Nelson was declared the nominee, and
the county convention adjourned sine die.
Legislative Nominations.
Immediately upon the adjournment of the
county convention the Twenty-sixth and
Twenty seventh legislative districts assem-
bled in opposite corners of the main hell and
proceeded to the nomination of Senatorial
and House candidates for the legislature.
TWENTY-s11TH DISTRICT.
In this district the action was all har-
mon1ous. The convention, having learned
wisdom by bitter past experience concluded
that discretion was the better part of valor,
and nominated Cha. les A. Pillsbury, the
Observation-Disclosures candidate for Senator,
by reclamation. This was not done without
grimace from some of the hard money fell
lows in the convention, but they took their
medicine like little men, so that there might
be no unharmony developed which would
w
d. Washburn. In FACT, it is understood that
no allusion should be made to Charley's sad
mental condition the
MONEY CRAZE
in case he does not use his we'll known popu-
larity in favor of the election of Mr.. DON
nelly, and stands firm by the hard money
Republican candidates for the other Offices
REPRESENTATIVES,
The following ticket for members of the
House was then placed in nomination:
Henry G.. Hicks, of Minneapolis; W. H..
johnson, of Minneapolis; - Thoralson,
of Minneapolis; Josiah Thompson, Jr., of
Minneapolis.
1t was not considered necessary to give the
county towns any representation, as it was
stated that the district was so strong anyhow
that even if the country towns went solid for
the National-Labor ticket they could
create some disatfection in the
country towns against Mr.. Washburn,
but the GLOBE hopes not, as there is no
doubt but the Minneapolis representatives
will look carefully after the agricultural
interests of their large country constituency.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
In the same convention the city delegates,
after several ballots, chose Mr.. Jacob Schaefer
for county commissioner, over that very
popular and agreeable gentleman, Aid. G.
l.. Snyder. It looked real sociable to see
the venerable Yawcob loom up for more
political honors, and come smiling to the
front, after several years rest from his politi-
cal labors. In the olden time, somewhere
in the course of history, Mr.. Schaefer was
quite active in politics, having been, if recol-
lection serves, a candidate for auditor several
times. 1t is pleasant to discover that cage
has not dlmned nor custom stalled his in
finite Variety
TWENTY-sEvENTH DISTRICT.
Here also the action was harmonious. It
took some bulldozing, of course, to convince
the country delegates that the city was en-
titled to the Senator and two of the three
Representatives, but they were finally per-
suaded that it was only on sufferance that
they were allowed any, as the city had, nu-
merically, the power to defeat even that
one.
Finally, however, the country mem
bers came to time, and E. S. Corser,
Esq, the very pleasant and efficient presi-
dent of the city council, was nominated for
Senator, and the following candidates for
the House: John Baxter, of Minneapolis,
Geo. HUM, of Minneapolis, and Andrew j.
Smith, of Osseo.
MIR. Jon Eagan, an intelligent Irishman
from Corcoran, was named as the country
member, but as usual in Republican con-
yentions, his claims we're ignored, and our
old friend John left out in the cold.
The country delegates then assembled and
nominated Mr.. Mitchell for county commits
sioner to make the contest against Charley
Ward. He also is the candidate of the
Greenback-Labor party, and has been
member of the board in former years.
THE TICKET.
Altogether the ticket is composed of good
average men, but is by no means strong in
the aggregate. If the Democrats and Ma
tionals will even yet come together and rec
oncile the very moderate differences between
them they can walk away with the victory.
If they do not, both of the opposition tick
cts will be cleaned out and they should be-
Every man on both tickets should hold his
own personal interest as second to that
of the success of the ticket,
and be prepared to withdraw his name if
thereby harmony and fusion can be brought
about.
INCIDENT.
The GLOBE man was grieved at the wicked
ness evidenced at the reporters table by the
open and shameless sale of pools as the
various candidates were nominated. He
was especially outraged at the sinfulness of
this gambling among journalists upon the
nomination of sheriff and county
supervisor. The hall is under the
management of the Y. M. G. A., and it's sa-
credness should have been recognized by
gentlemen who, above all others (being the
teachers of men) should respect the virtues
and proprieties of life. Pool selling and
buying particularly the latter in q moral
Republican convention held in religious
hall, is practically degrading these gather
ings to the level of State fair, and deserves
public censure.
Immediately after his nomination
Nat Thompson went down stairs and
sent up barrel of-what do
you suppose? Money? No! Beer? Not
any! Sugar? Never a shug! Whisky?
Not drop!-only apples, and the GLOBE
man could not help but think Though COM
parsons are odious) how different it would
have been in Democratic convention! Oh,
we'll, well-probably the poor man did the
best that he knew!
Ed. Nash wore most beaming and be.
coming smile during the early hours of the
fight; but it was too sweet to last in this cold
and unfeeling world. At the close of the
second ballot for sheriff the GLOBE man
heard something fall hard and sudden to the
floor. Looking over his shoulder to inter-
view the earthquake, he discovered that it
was only the dropping of that smile from
