bear bitter fruit in the future.
The vote being taken on the resolution
it was lost by vote Of % to 81. The re-
port of the committee on credentials was
then adopted. sE fg
The chairman then stated that the next
thing in order was the election of twelve
delegates to the State convention.
Capt. Castle moved that the delegates
be elected one at q time.
9. N. Bell moved to amend that the
chairman appoint committee of one
from each ward and one from the county
TO report the names of twelve delegates to
the State convention.
Capt Castle opposed the appointment
of a committee. He did not like these
cut and dried arrangements and thought
there was intelligence enough inthe con-
vention to make its own selections.
After some discussion Mr.. Bells motion
was adopted. Ayes 80; nays 81.
Gov. Davis tried to get in motion to
allow each ward and the country pre-
cincts to select the member of the COM
mittee. LOst-ayes %; avs %.
The chair then appointed the follow
ing
NOMINATING COMMITTEE.
First ward, Mark D. Flower; Second ward,
c. N Bell; Third ward, r. N. McLaren;
D. Gilillan; Sixth ward, G.. Heimbach;
country precincts, VIM. E. Brimball.
The committee was absent but a few
moments when they returned and report
ed the following
DELEGATEs TO THE STATE CONVENTION:
K. Blakely, 81. P. Upham,
J. G. Haupt, Stanford Newell,
j. P. Jacobson, Geo. Watson,
Fred Driscoll, 8. s. Taylor,
G. N. Bell, r. G. Wiley,
VIM. Bickel, M. D. Flower.
The report of thecommittee was adopt
ed with few dissenting voices.
AS soon as the report was adopted, Mr.
Gilfillan obtained the floor and offered
the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the delegation elected to the
State convention be, and is hereby instructed
to cast it's entire vote for John 8. Pillsbury for
governor.
In support of the resolution, Mr.. Gil
fillan said it had been reported that RAM
| sey county had boon carried for Pillsbury,
and if such was the case, he wanted it to
be known. He would not vote for the
resolution himself, but he wanted this
convention to put itself on record. He
wanted no more double dealing. If Ram
sey county was for Pillsbury, let her del
egates to the State convention be so in
structed and vote as unit to carry out
the wishes of the Republicans of the
| county. les
Capt. Castle moved as an amendment
he would support:
/ rrI ha IoIa L.
elected to the State convention be instructed
to earnestly and heartily support Hon. A. R.
| McGill for governor as the first or second
| choice of large majority of this convention,
| his long residence in our midst and honorable
| career in prominent official positions having
conclusively demonstrated to us his eminent
| fitness for the high position.
The introduction Of these two resolu-
tions was bombshell in the Plllsbury and
McGill ranks. They saw trouble ahead
and for few moments there was q hur-
rying to and fro in hot haste There
was other business to be transacted, such
as the appointment of new county
committee, and Stanford Newell vainly
endeavoured to get in a motion to cover
| this point. There was but one way to
get out of the dilemma, and that was a
motion to adjourn sine die, which motion
was made BY G.. N. Bell. The chair
ruled the motion in order and said it was
not debatable. Isl
Capt. Castle called for the ayes
and nays and said "a if the
convention voted to adjourn
it would be taken as instructing the dele
gatesito vote for Plllsbury. IT,
The roll being called, the motion tc adj
journ was carried. Ayes 80, nays 81. :
AS soon as the result was announced
Capt. Castle jumped to his feet, and in
exultant tones exclaimed: IL give notice
that the old county committee holds
over" iiss n
| This ends the contest at present. It is
certain that Ramsey county has decided
against Gen. Hubbard, but it is by nc
means certain that it has been carried
solid for Pillsbury or McGill.
| The McGill men say that they agreed
to pool their issues with the Pillsbury
men in running the primaries to defeat
Hubbard, on condition that the delegates
to the State convention should be equal
| ly divided among them. Since the
adjournment of the convention,
however, the PiIlsbury men
are claiming the delegation as solid fol
Pillisbury. On the other hand the Nc.
Gill men clam that Messrs. j. G. Haupt
J. P. Jacobson, S. s. Taylor, G. N. Bell,
VIM. Bickel and NJ. D. Flower, are
pledged to 60 for McGill, and they in
tended to see that the compact is carried
out. From all surface indications the
end is not yet.
