went out to Old Orchard, carried his own horse
feed, and on arrival, tied the horse to q tree
and gave him his dinner. He then went off

The fusion Convention.
FIVE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTA-
TIVES NOMINATED.
How Do the Republican Greenbackers
Like the Outlook.

The delegates tie the Democratic convention
to nominate Representatives to the Legisla-
ture met at the headquarters in Hopkins
Block Saturday night. DIR. S. c. Gordon was
nominated as chairman and 4S ont of 40 dele
gates were present By an arrangement with
the Greenbackers the Democrats were allowed
three nominees.
After the nomination of Mr.. Lewis Pierce,
Mr.. D. HI. Ingraham was nominated and then
the name of Edmund Dana, chairman of the
State Committee, was proposed, when the
friends of Mr.. M. P. Frank, late Speaker Of
the House, offered his name. 1t was moved to
ballot by wards, and just as the balloting COM
menced many of the leaders of the Greenback-
ers-who had completed their convention
came in, and upon learning who were the can
didates loud shouts arose Among the Demo-
Gratis themselves there were cries OF Dana
favors class legislation he wants the druggists
to sell rum and no one else" Alden, the
Greenbacker, declared if Frank was nominate
ed he would lose 500 Greenback votes. The
vote was taken and it was found that Dana
had one more vote than Frank. Then IL was
noticed that there were only As delegates pres
ent and 40 ballots had been cast. 1t was ex
blamed that two ballots must have stuck to-
gether, although no mucilage was perceivable
in the apartment There ensued a perfect
Babel. For half an hour at least the hall was
a perfect Bedlam. A great many OF the lflsh
delegates and those friendly to Irishmen on
the ticket were terribly disappointed because
Mr.. T. F. Donahue did not get nomination
:. TnUroham DOna-
hue is very popular, and although the feeling
was somewhat allayed from the fact that the
Greenbaclxers nominated Mr.. Sheehan, neat
little dodge to enable the Democratic mana
gers to say that he was not the nominee Oh the
Democratic party, Nh. Donahue had NUMBER
of friends who demanded the whole ticket up
and down, and Mr.. Franks were not meaT
mouthed in their expressions of disgust, and
determination to show what they could do by
and by. DR.. Gordon by striking his cane on
the table tried to bring order out OF chaos, and,
while he was about it, one delegate advocated
the claims of Mr.. Ingraham in quite speech
unimpressed by the fact that Mr.. lngraham
was already nominated and the cries OF shut
up'' and ''Sit down.. Finally DR.. Gordon
declared he would adjourn the meeting II
quiet was not restored and succeeded. An
other ballot was taken, notwithstanding to
the chairman's declaration-in 70 for Dana
and % for Frank, and Dana was declared
elected Then Franks friends declared Dana
was not the choice of the convention and
hand vote was called for The chair announc-
ed 26 yeas to Is nays. The vote was again dis
puted, and the meeting sustained the chair
man.
