An Eloquent spssch-Hew the Anti
Kindred Men Carried the Convention.
Though my .elegrsphio report CT matters at the

bic political event and make It complete.
gLEEsEs's SPEECH.
One Of the interesting episodes OF the Kindred
convention was the speech OF Hon. C. B. Sleeper of
Brsinerd nominating Mr.. Kindred. It was IS
follows:

CORRECTION.
The crowd was so dense and blocked the stairway
30 completely that made mistake In my report
yesterday In saying that the kindred men remained
IN the hall from Ii until the time for this con-
veution. They intended 70 co SO, but Col. Johnson
notified them that they must leave or he would not
call the convention 70 order. They accordingly re-
tired 20 the sidewalk and tbs hall entirely empty
At p. The doors ware than opened ana the
snt-Kindfed men conlmenced going IN by unstgned
tickets, and the kipared men ecnclaced to join In
the procession, and you BE- they weDt in

Louis county, In person H!th i've delegates. The
convention was composed Of twelve delegates. Of
which Kindred had seven uncoptssteG. The two
towns which had sent the five Graves delegates had
also sent i've contestins delegates fer Kindred, bu.
Kindred had a clear, undisputed majority OF two,

call Kindred man nominated ons Of thst side for
temporary chairman, and the motion promptly
seconded Instead OF putting the motion the nSert-
ed committee turned TO the Graves faction to
await orders. They had not agreed who shonld act,
ard he waited their pleasure ---
The Kindred men called for vote en- their ncmi-
nee, but in vain. Finally the Grsyes men nomin;t
ed esuddste for temporary chsirm:n and the con-
verted comnittee-n put the motion Without wait
for second. The Kindred men tried to
offer amendment substituting their noni-
nee. but as usual in cases Of cash
conve,eicn, the chairman of the committee
was deaf to all appeals and the cniy vote he put
was tbs affirmative the Graves chairman. Graves
was so enthused that he voted with the FIVE, though
he lives in another county The Graves nominee

OF the Kindred men called fer vote their chair

conventions inaugurated the same room.
The Graves convention never had but five
seats were all contested, ami still Graves has the
impudence to be here with three delegates from
Carleton county.

been secured by sGch tactics, Kindred ought to be
the nominee. Kindred was in Thomson

convention, leaving Graves do that kind Of dirty
work.
This outside interference of Graves was the same
kind of tactics resoried TO in Morrison county last
Saturday, when laundering Gordon Of Minneapolis
and Gilman of st. Cloud undertook to run county
where they do not belong.
