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. second plan was to admit all
the delegates, including contestants, and let
them fight it out in the convention. The
third plan was to admit such delegates as had
been appointed by county conventions, which
the chairman of local county committee
recognized as the regular body. The third
plan was the one he seemed to favor, and
am satisfied it is the course he will pursue un-
less he changes his mind before the conven-
ton meets. He said he should advise with

policy which he deemed wise be would ac-

GOING TO BED.
The shades of night have fallen SO fast that
there has been q general dispensing of the
mob. 1t is cool enough to make fire COM
Portable, and this has evidently had tendency
to put the children to bed The various
warriors and all engaged in private back-dOor
conferences with their friends are each en-
deavcring TO demonstrate the mathematical
problem that two and two do not make four.
The saloons are still open, however, showing
that they still have hopes of the republic.
There is positively nothing rev TO add and
speculatOnS are useless, as to-
morrow is more than likely to
upset them all. Every body expects the two

midnight plotting, therefore. cannot be regard

to morrow, and will let them pot in peace.
BREAK IMMINENT.
DETROIT, July IL, a. m.-The Kindred
crowd have just adjourned after holding a
caucus at one of the public halls In the town,
the anti-Kindred men having been putting in
the 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
third plan as mentioned previously The
Lake county delegation is peculiar affair.
man named Wieland was elected delegate and
he has given his credentials and a proxy
to G. w. Wilson, who is Kindred man.
Graves has now induced WielaRd to come op
in person, and he desires to revoke his proxy
and go for Graves. Maj. Wilson declines to
and Johnson says he will recognize
the proxy on the preliminary organization.
The grand break up, which is inevitable, may
come on this point. You can count that
it IS 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 a
strong delegation from Douglas county
headed by A. A. Brown, protesting against
knute Nelson. Those who know Knuty best
like him least He willnot be the next con-
from the Fifth district.
