Mr.. j. NJ. Curtis followed in equally as
strong words of commentator and Mr..
Newell's motion was carried without a
dissenting voice.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The chairman here announced that the
next candidate to be nominated. were two
county commissioners from the city and
one from the country.
Acting upon the remarks of Gen. Flower
an effort was made to go into secret eau
Gus, but the proposition did not meet a
second.
Mr.. Frank Koch, who is one of the pres
ent board of county commissioners, nomi-
mated Mr.. John Wagner, and spoke short
ly in his favor as faithful county official,
as he knew by being associated with him
on the board.
Mr.. G. Fl. 81. Bell nominated
Martin Bruggesman of West st. Paul.
Gen. Flower wanted to know if there
was any delegate present who could vouch
for the two nominees as being good bust
ness men.
Mr.. Louis WAGNER said so far as John
WAGNER was concerned he could bear testi-
mony that he was good bushes man, and
the only thing he had against him was that
he was Democrat.
Evidently things we're not working right
and in order TO straighten the matter out,
Mr.. A. II. Wilder moved that the nomina-
tons of county commissioners be referred
to committee of one from each ward and
one from the county to select candidates
and report to the convention.
This gave rise to number of motions,
all of which were finally disposed of by
amending Mr.. Wilder's motion so that the
delegates from the country precincts had
the privilege of forming committee of
themselves to select candidate for the
house;-e candidate for county commits
sioner and the superintendent of schools.
and that committee of one from each
ward be empowered to nominate the two
county commissioners from the city.
The chairman appointed A. B. Wilgus,
Geo. w. Lamson, Geo. G. Squires, F. A.
Krch, A. H. Wilder and G.. w. q. Bell as
such committee on the part of the city.
The committee and the county delegates
retired and the chairman announced that
the convention would take recess for ten
minutes.
The recess heightened out to over half
an hour when the convention was again
called to order: when the county ticket was
completed by the nomination of w. L.
Ames of New Canada, as county commits
sioner; Peter Bohland of Reserve, for
member of the house of representatives
and II. G. Blake of Rose, for superinten-
dent Of schools, all of which nominations
were ratified by the convention.
The committee from the city delegation
reported the nomination Of B. G. Wiley
and Henry Schumacher as county commits
sioners from the city, and their report was
adopted.
THE LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.
Gates A johnson, of the upper senate
rial district, moved Oh behalf of the dele
gates from that district that no nomination
for senator be made, which motion was
adopted.
VIM. Llndeke, from the lower district,
nominated G. D. Gilfillan and he was nom
mated by reclamation.
The following nominations for the house

all of which were ratified, viz:
Second and Sixth ward-Wm. r. Mer-
RAM.
Third ward-J. c.. Haupt
First and Fourth precincts Of the Fourth
ward-W. D. Hawkins.

PROPHET FooTE SET DOWN on.
This closed the nominations and the
convention was about to ad journ, when Mr..
W. b. Leitner offered the following resoiu-
ton, which was adopted without debate:
Resolved, That this convention having
the authority to appoint Republican
county committee for the county of Ram
sey, and recognizing the strength and
efficiency of the present committee, ap-
pointed by the last county convention
hereby reappoint that committee which is
composed as follows: Gen. Mark d.
Flower, chairman;J. p. Allen, A. q. Nelson,
r. McLaren. E. Albrecht, Geo. Watson and
Peter Bohland.
Several enthusiastic delegates were anx-
ious to enliven the otherwise tame pro-
ceedings of the convention by calling out
the candidates for the legislature. Mr..
AAOIAAui1 OO1h9 CdpCuIeu DIS IS was ISdN-
ing the room on the run, returned and
said he was aware that it was the custom
airy practice for a candidate when nomi-
mated to return thanks for the honor. but
in his case he thought the party owed him
an apology by placing him in nomina
ton in the very hot bed of Democracy. He
said, however, he would accept the nomin-
alton and would make the,bes fight pos
sible.
Charles Passavant said he was
nominated against one of the best
and strongest men in the city,
but he did not despair of success; at all
events he would do his ''level best' to win.
Capt. w. D. Hawkins brought the pro-
ceedings of the convention to speedy
close by saying he could not make
speech, but could sing song, which he
did with ''Old Shady" laying particular
stress upon ''Hail Mighty Day." and no
doubt he appreciated the fact that it was
a mighty day when he was nominated for
a seat in the Legislature of MINNESOTA.
and it will be mightier day when he is
elected.
