NOT FOR GILMAN.

| NOI FOR GILMAN.
The Republican County COnremtjon Elect
Delegates to tie State COHcentio3-SoIid
| against Gilman for Liedtenant Governor.
The Republicans of Hennepin county
held their convention in market hall yes,
terday morning and elected nine delegates
to attend the state convention, as whole
the convention was d tame affair, exciting
very little interest. The only important
feature was in selecting a solid delegation
against the nomination of Gilman, and
although such is the case, there was no
particular or Outspoken expression in the
convention. The slate had been made up
and 1t didn't get smashed, as it usually
does in Hennepin county.
| Sammy Hill, the chairman of the county
committee, called the convention to order,
read the roll and stated the objects OF the
meeting.

Snyder, the veteran, arose and moved that
a committee of eleven, one from each ward

was inclined to believe the amendment was
especially intended to insinuate that his
original motive was in accordance with

objection to such procedure.
Fletcher on his honor declared he didn't
insinuate, and didn't wish to be so under
stood.
He was backed by young delegate in
the body, who thought ''old war horses
had best take a back seat this time. He
cried out, 'Fletcher's amendment is SEN

DR.. Evans, doubtless presuming ne was
classed among the 'old war horses,' came
suddenly to his feet to sustain the original
