In Maine Prairie, where Mr.. Gilman had 4
majority, the ticket was made up for him. on
which was Mr.. Winslow, an active Republican.
Before the convention was held Mr.. Winslov
withdrew from the ticket, stating a. hia reason
therefor that he owed N. p. Clark el25. and
Mr. CLARK had been to zee him and he dare NOT
appear in opposition to his wishes. @

The Pioneer Press was also bought up for

pie Of Stearns county and st. Cloud, but every
communication addressed to that paper was
suppressed. Mr.. Brewer claimed that st.
Cloud was always for Gilman, but this time it
was carried against him, and the suspicion was
strong that money was used and votes import
ed. He then explained how tho caucus was
carried. Mcclure got up and said for himself,

roboration of his story, Mr.. Brewer submitted
sundry afidavite, and claimed they proved all
he said or commended for. His delegation was
the true delegation. just here Mr.. Brewer was
called, 'stime up,'' and sat down after urging
the convention to accept his delegation. -
THE RING ATTORNEY. Se Z
Capt. Collins responded, and pledged him
self not to repeat what he had heard, but what
he knew. He denounced Brewers wholesale
castigation Of good Republicans and called on.
Gen. G. @. Andrews and G. D. Kerr and other
notable Republicans, to give the assurance that
the men denounced by Brewer were no such
thing. Mr.. Collins then took up town by town
and presented his case to controvert what
Brewer bad said was done by fraud or Demo.
Gratis. As each credential was read, and the
signatures read. Collins asked Gen. Andrews
and Col. O. D. Kerr to confirm him in declaring
they were good and staunch Republicans. In
conclusion, he held that the Brewer crowd didn't
come into the county convention and
make their fight-this they didn't deny-and he
thought he nor his delegation were entitled to
a hearing in this convention. The fight should
have been made in the county convention.
YATES DEFENSE.
Mr.. Il. @. Waite thought it unfair and hard
that be, an old citizen of Stearns county,
should be indicted as he and his friends
had been by Mr.. Brewer, who, after all, was
only an interloper, and had come to Stearns
county to hold Federal Office He knew there
had been severe contest, and Stearns county
was against Gilman. He was defeated, and
that was what was the matter with Gilman and
his friends. The whole matter just resolved
itself into the fact that Gilman had been beat,
and now his friends were before this conven.
ton trying to whine their way into it. In
conclusion MIR. Waite repealed with scorn and
indignation any insinuation that he or his
friends used money or other fraudulent means
to buy Republican votes. (Applause) He
charged the other party with getting W
clandestine convention and they were here
only as representatives, # such convention
His delegation was the only fairly elected one,
and was alone entitled to admission.
Gov. Yale held that one or the other delega-
ton was bogus, and only one delegation should
be admitted. He charged the convention
therefore to inquire diligently into the rights
of the contestants.
Col. C.. D. Kerr wanted to speak, but time
j. B. Gillian, of Minneapolis, however, got
in word to ask under what call the two
Stearns county conventions were held.
Answered that both were held under the
same call. .-.
FRAUD SURE.
8. p. Jennison, of Red Wing, declared un-
doubtedly that fraud in the caucuses of stearns
county was proved. If the st. CLOUD politi-
clans. four or five Of them, were sent South,
sure at the next election. cloud applause and
laughter:) So far as he was concerned.
he believed in the Barto, Brewer
delegation, and if they had used such trickery
in the convention that their opponents used in
the caucuses, they would have captured the
convention. Great applause.)
TRYING TO FORCE VOTE.
big moustached delegate, Col. Gearey, Of
Wabashaw, moved that the vote to admit
Stearns county be taken by ballot.
Gov. Barto favored this, and pledged his
support to the ticket, no matter whether they
were admitted or not.
Capt. Blakeley, of Ramsey, wanted the vote
taken piua aoice, each chairman of each county
delegation to announce the vote. Capt. Blake
ley was shut up by cries of question, ques.

He turned around with the se,en conscious
ness of great dignity, and commanded the con-
vention like parcel of naughty boys to be
quiet.
But they wouldn't be, and Capt. Blakley's
chunks of wisdom never dropped out of his
cavern. -.-...
Gen. Andrews thought great injustice would
be done by voting a. suggested. It was a bad
precedent to set to let witnesses argue their
testimony. So far as he could see, the Collins
Waite delegation were entitled to seats.
MIR. j. j. Randall, Winona, called Gen, An
drews to order. Cries Of question and yells
went up from all parts of the house.
Gen. Andrews wanted to be in order, and
after few more words sat down.
Mr.: Brewer, in the interest Of harmony,
withdrew his motion for a ballot, whereupon
Mr.. Arctander, of Willmar moved an amend
ment to the motion of the committee that the
Brower-Barto delegation from Stearns be ad-
mitted to seats in the convention.
Col. Gearey moved the vote be by ballot. h.
Col. Kerr tried to speak, but didn't get in
between cries of question question: "or-
der" and great confusion.
Col. Hicks, of Minneapolis, got up and made
the astounding declaration that he was a GEN.
tleman, and he deprecated SO much noise. This
was like Democratic convention.
Lots of noise and cries of "Ouestion.
Question He favored uiua voce vote on the
question and then sat down in whirlpool OF
noise.

IGllhllan to tell him he didn't know what he
was talking about. He (Gil6llan) was talking
about admitting both delegations with half q
vote each, while tho vote was to be taken on
the substitute calling for the admission of the
Barto-Brower delegation. Mr.. Jennison took
occasion to apologize to Capt. BlakeleY for

but he found out this hall was not made for
hearing but for legislation. (laughter) and he

did very seriously and grieveusly object to
everybody shouting altogether at once.
