There were three plans talked OF relative to
the organization. One was TO admit only the
uncontested delegates. He said he believed
that would make the convention at
the outset composed of the three
delegates from Clay, but he did not
know but they would be contested in the
morning. A second plan was to admit all
the delegates, including contestants, and let
them fight 1t out in the convention. The
third plan was TO admit such delegates as had
been appointed by county conventions, which
recognized as the regular body. The third
plan was the one he seemed to favor, and /

\ BREAK IMMINENT.
DETROIT, July II, q. m.-The Kindred |
crowd have just adjourned after holding a |
caucus at one Of the public halls In the town, |
he anti-Kindred men having been putting in |
,he night with caucus at the American |
house. Neither crowd accomplished anything. |
All depends upon who johnson, chairman of |
district committee, decides to recognize as |
delegates and until he acts they don't know |
what to do. He is almost sure to follow the |
ihlrd plan as mentioned previously The |
Lake county delegation is a peculiar affair. |
A man named Wieland was elected delegate and |
ne has given his credentials and proxy |
o 9. w. Wilson, who is a Kindred man. |
Graves has now induced Wieland to come on |
n person, and he desires to revoke his proxy |
md go for Graves. Maj. Wilson declines to |
and Johnson says he will recognize |
,he proxy on the preliminary organization. |
The grand break up, which is inevitable, NAV
come on this point. You can count that |
It IS a Kindred and anti Kin bred |
fight, and if X. is not |
mighty careful they will out general him,
though he really has the lead. There is
strong delegation from Douglas county
headed by A. A. Brown, protesting against
knute Nelson. Those who know Knuty best
ike him least. He will not be the next con-
gresham from the Fifth district.
