Window Caucus Endorsed.

Yesterday moring the GLOBE stated "The
Republican pot is boiling"
To-day it can be added that the pot got
red hot.
Notwithstanding the fact that the major
ity of delegates kept very late hours
Tuesday night they showed up bright and
early yesterday morning in good fighting
trim. Of course the general rendezvous
was at the Merchants hotel. The crowd of
delegates and bosses and delegate began
to gather as early as $50 a. M, and an
hour later the spacious corridors were
crowded. At 1890 after a careful count of
noses announcement was made by Hon.
Il. B. Clarke, of Swift county, that a
caucus of the friends of Gov. Hubbard
would be held in the ladies' ordinary,
second floor. About two-thirds of the
crowd answered the call, making the
caucus consist of 165 delegates. The
object of the caucus being stated by Mr..
Clarke, he was elected chairman, Col.
Hicks, of Minneapolis, and Senator
O'Brien, of Houston county, having pre-
VOuSly Q9cllneu TO serve.
The caucus organized, Hon. NJ. H. Dun
nell moved that Hon c. D. Gillian be
selected as the temporary chairman of the
committee.
Col. Hicks, of Hennepin, said he attend
ed the caucus as a friend of Gov. Hubbard,
and desirous Of his denomination ;but as his
delegation were instructed to present the
name Of ex-Gov. John S. Pillsbury, for the
craftsmanship of the convention, ne could
not support the motion.
Mr.. Dunnell's motion was then put and
adopted without any opposition, except
the negative vote of Colonel Hicks, and
the caucus thereuPon adjourned, upon
motion of Mr.. DunnelI.
PILLsBURY (oR wNDoM) CAUCUS.
The members of the Hubbard caucus
had not all vacated the room before the
supporters Of Governor PiIlsbury for the
craftsmanship, or the Windomites took
possession. They numbered by actual
count, forty-three. The fossilized Thomas
Simpson Of Winora, Was elected
chairman, and upon the motion
of CoIoneI Hicks the forty-thre e
present stood up like little men, to express
their preference for Pillsbury as chairman
and the caucus adjourned.

Market hall at y n. but it was thirty
minutes after the designated time when the
Hon. C. K. Davis, chairman of the state
central committee, called the body to Or
der, and FL. A. Castle, secretary, read the

The call read, Hon. Z. B. Clarke, Swift
county, nominated G.. d. Gilfllau of

Gov. John S. Piilsbury, Of Hennepin
county.
The Chair-Messrs. Clarke and Flower
will act as tellers.
Capt. Blakeley moved the vots be by q call
of counties by the published list.
Mr.. Clarke moved as an amendment
that the election be by ballot.
Capt. Blakeley objected that the convan-
tion was not yet organized, and no one yet
knew who were delegates.
Clarke-I am willing to trust to the
honor of the delegates elect.
Col. Hicks, of Minneapolis only wanted
free expression. The way to reach that
was by roll call.
R. n. McLaren, st. Paul, raised the point
of order that a vote by ballot could not be
taken until after the report of the COM
mittee on credentials had been made.
The chair overruled the point of order
and stated the question to be whether the
temporary chairman shouldj be elected
viva voce, or by ballot. The vote would
be upon the amendment Of Mr.. Clarke
that the vote be by ballot. Capt Blakeley
again protested that the election of tenn
porary oficers!by ballot was unprecedented
IN the history of the Republican party of
Minnesota. He had attended every state
convention but one. and never before had
such proposition been made,but the chair
again stated the mutton, and directed Cas-
tie to call the roll, which resulted in the
adoption Of the amendment that the vote
be adopted by ballot, by the following
vote:
