At the announcement Of the result of Gil.

Gov. Yale moved to make the vote rnan;-
mour. Carried. :
Then the convention diversified their howls
with cries for Gilman.
Gilman answered by getting ON the rostrum.
lie thanked the convention. He had often
assembled a TN" rostrum, but never with such
feelings of qualification as now (cheers). This
was doubly so because of the fight
which do
IN his own county and terminating here. He
trusted ne would not be a burden to the ticket.
put would strengthen it in the Northwest from
where he came. Again he thanked the conven-
ton Tor the honor, but he had no speech to make,
was prepared with none, for as was we'll known
ne had been busy about something else.
!Laughter) He again thanked the convention
sWEDE sKULDUaaERY.
Hans Mattson, of Minneapolis. asked the in
dulgence OF the convention to change the order
OF business, Then he moved that the conven.
ton proceed to ballot for State treasurer. He
talked to some length for this change. and
brought in a bit Of talk about
Kittleson and Pfaender and the German and
elements and influence. etc.
Thornton, of Swift county, objected to the
change. He saw a trade in it. His delegation
was instructed for Jacobson for secretary of
Scate, and If this measure was an underhand
movement or trade, he objected and protested.
Arctander, of Kandiyohi, declared Kittleson
was the choice Of the Scandinavians. and then
he went into an exposition of lust how much
his nationality had done for the Republican
party, and mentioned, US it were, incidentally.
that his people held the balance Of power. He
then explained that their intention was to vote
for treasurer first. and if they, the Scandinavia
ans, didn't get Kettleson, then they'd vote for
Jacobson or some other good Scandinavian for
Secretary of State.
SECRECY, SECRECY.
Hicks, of Minneapolis, arose to a high cues
ton of privilege. He saw blood on the moon.
and he saw further the prospect of party
light, and thought for the sake of HARMONY to
the whole party that the convention should 90
into secret session to discuss whether German
OF Swede should get control of the State funds.
ne enlarged upon thls business and talked to
the purpose that it was beneath the dignity of
the convention to take up this fight between
two men-at least in open session. He moved
for secrecy accordingly.
Gov. Yale didn't think the Republicans
wanted to hide anything. He thought, and be
Delleved the convention would uphold him.
that the Republican party wasn't afraid to do
anything before the people, and let them see
how 1t is done. He protested against secrecy.
Z FIGHTING FOR GERMANY.
Mr.. Bobleter, of New Ulm, spoke for Pfaen.
der, and declared the Germans wanted nobody
else. He saw in Mattson's motion to change
the order OF business palpable effort to trade,
and saddle on the party man not acceptable
to the Germans.
SECRETARY oE STATE.
The convention proceeded to nominations
for secretary of State and Mr.. Stordock placed
Assistant Secretary of State jacobson in nomi.
nation. He eulogized him bit.
Gov. Yale nominated R. B. Bassford, of Wi.
mona, and gave him handsome send-off as a
very suitable person.
J. B. Gillian got up with the widows crusc
of oil, or some machine of that kind and began
to lubricate the troubled waters with the sup.
gestion to do nothing in haste. He thought q
recess for fifteen minutes might restore har.
monZ. ss4
He continued by urging peace and harmony
so as to disappoint the Democrats who looked
for quarrel. BE moved for a recess. Ne'
FIGHTING AGAINST GERMANY.
Mr.. Jennison,.of Red Wing, objected to q
recess. He opposed Gil6llan's working up
his project by recess talk. He, Gilfillan had
an amazing power that way, while he, Jen.
nison, got in his work best in convention
(Laughter.) He then stated that for all the
time the Republicans had control of State
affairs, . German had held the money bags Of
the State. 1t had become understood that
the Germans couldn't do anything else. HI
then stated that the only defeat occurred be
cause of the mismanagement of the State
treasury by two Germans.
Great excitement.
Mr.. Auerbach, of Ramsey--.sI think, Mr.
Jennison, your remarks are in bad TASTE
MIR. Jennison continued by saying the Ger
mans had been allowed to remove this slur by
the election of q German to the treasury. A.
to this prejudice or suspicion that the Scandi
navians couldn't5manage the treasury, he be
ileved they ought to have the chance to disa
buse the public mind. He therefore favored
Kittleson. and wanted him to get it, 40 as to re
move the spectacle that the Germans were onlv
fitted for one Office. and the Scandinavians linn
tied to another; Germans perpetually t
the treasury. and the Scandinavian
to-day had shown that if man were fitted TO
Office, he could get it again, and even agai,
and again Qaughter), but for all that he though
change advisable. The Scandinayians fav
ored one man, and why not give them chance
Mr. Auerbach, of Ramsey, moved that Col
Jennison be made the permanent talker o
speaker of the convention. III
Gillian. Of Hennepin, witharew his motion
for recess, md dropped sonas more grease.
. Another unknown indiyiduat didn't beiiey
in the change Of proceedings TO enhance Kettle
sons chances for election.
MIR. Auerbach didn't see reason for !. Nh. !, =,
and favored Pfaender. s.---s1isss g
Mr.. Stordosk, of Wilkin, declared himself
Scandinavian, declared himself in favor o
Jacobson for secretary of State, declared him
self opposed to change in the order of bust
ness, and declared that it was an effort to Civ
Kittleson double change, which might Kill
Jacobson's chance, to which he was opposed
Hans Mattson's motion to chance the orde

J. W. Alexander shot of his accent in favo
of Kittleson again, and Scandinavia.
Thornton, of Swift, remarked that he wa
