The committee on permanent organiza-

acting as permanent officers o: the conven-
ton, which report was adopted unsni-
mously.
Mr. Ankeny IN returning thanks for the
honor conferred, said the Democracy of Hen
nepin county did not need stirring up. They
were all alive and enjoying the boom which
extends all over the country. Make good
strong ticket in Hennepin county. Let all
personal prejudices be laid aside, and each
and all work for victory.
On motion of j. W. Lawrence the con-
vention decided to proceed to ballot for the
various candidates in the order named in
the call, and that in each instance the first
ballot should be an informal one.
On motion Messrs. William Blsisdell,
Isaac McNair and Budd Reeve were appoint
ed tellers.
COUNTY AUD{-OR.
The first candidate il order was that for
the Office of auditor, for which Mr.. j. T.
Pribble, of Osseo township, was nominated
by reclamation.
CLERK OF THE DISTRICT CoUHT.
For this Office George E. Huey, James
Bryant and Ed. A. Stevens were mentioned.
MIR. Stevens said ne was not candidate, and
even if he was he would withdraw in favor
of Mr.. James Bryant who fought with Gen.
Hancock at Gettysburg and was fighting
with him still. (Applause.)
The informal ballot being taken it result
ed as follows: Huey 49; Bryant IS.
When the result of the ballot was declared
delegate arose and wanted to know if they
were voting to put in nomination @ Demo
crat or Republican. Being asked to explain
he said that he had always understood Mr..
Bryant to be Republican.
Mr.. Ed. A. Stevens explained that up to
the time of Gen. Hancock's nomination MIR.
Bryant had acted with the Republican party,
but az soon as he heard of the nomination OF
his old commander he came out boldly and
declared for him, and although the threat OF
dismissal from his present position as deputy
clerk of the court was held over him, he had
consistently advocated Gen. Hancock's cleo
ton and would henceforth act with the Dem
ooratic party.
Mr.. Aswater said he had never heard she
name of Mr., Bryant mentioned az 8 candi-
date before. He was happy to learn tia!
Mr.. Bryant had seen the error of his ways
Mr.. Huey however had been a consistent
Democrat for the past quarter of century
and ne thought the convention would MAKE
mistake to pat up new and untried man
Mr.. Stevens again advocated the claims OF
Mr. Bryant as measure Of success.
Budd Reeve said he had been born 6
Democrat and expects to die one. There
was no doubt that the Democratic party o,
Hennepin county needed accessors, but he
did not believe IN picking Up new men
There are good many Republicans who are
going to vote for Hancock, but we have moi
offices enough for them all. Gaughter).
Ths formal ballot was then proceeded
With, resulting as follows: Huey, 7f; Bryant
%; whereupon on motion of Mr.. Stevens
