JOINT CONVENTION.

The great struggle is over, and Dwight
NJ. Sabin, Of Saltwater, is United States
senator from Minnesota for six years from
the 4th of March next. The result which
made Mr.. Sabin United States senator and
ended the political existence of VIM.
Window in Minnesota, was reached at
O'Clock p. m. yesterday, February 1.
The JOINT convention was few min
utes late in getting together yesterday for
what proved the last day of the struggle.
The attendance of spectators was larger
than on any preceding ay,owing no doubt
to very general impression that an
election would be reached before adjourn
ment, an impression that proved we'll
founded.
The session of the joint convention
opened with Mr.. Hicks, of Hennepin, pre-
siding.
The roll call showed fourteen members
absent or paired as follows: Senators
Clarke, Clement, Hickman, Morrison and
Washburn, and Representatives Baker,
Dilley, Jacklin, Nelson, John Peterson, o.
Peterson, Richardson, Sabin and Way. Mr..
Baker arrived and took his seat in the
convention just before the result of the fifth
ballot was announced, and had his
vote recorded for Gov. Hubbard, for whom
he also voted on the sixth ballot, but on
the seventh and last he joined the Sabin
column. Of the absentees Senator Wash
burn and Representative Richardson have
not been present at any of the joint con-
vention sessions, both being confined to
their homes sick. Mr.. Washburn was
counted Window Republican,
while Mr.. Richardson is a Demo-
crat from Winona, and would have voted
with his party. He was paired with Mr..
Sabin. The other absentees when last
voting were divided as follows: Nelson
Window; Dilley and Wilson;
Clark, Clement, j John Peterson and Way
Cole; Hickman - Dunnell; Morrison
Start; 0. Peterson-Davis.
Before the voting commenced Mr..
Grimshaw, of Hennepin, speaking to a
question of privilege, said the statements
made in one of the morning papers (allud-
ing to the GLoBE) and circulated
about the hall as to Gov. Hubbard not be-
ing candidate for the position of .. S.
Senator against Mr.. Sabin, were calculated
to misIead, his attitude now being the same
as it had been all through the contest-not,
perhaps, candidate in the fullest sense of
the term, but at the same time in the hands
of his friends. An examination of the ballots

posted than Mr.. Grimshaw, fact that the
gentleman himself apparently discovered
after the third ballot had been taken, for
on the fourth ballot he left the governor
and went to Mr.. Sabin.
The twenty-second oint ballot was then
proceeded with and concluded without in
cident. The result announced by the pre-
siding officer, Mr.. Child, of Jackson,
THE GREAT oBsTRUorIoN1sT,
moved that as the joint convention was
without rules, the joint rules of the Iegis-
lature of 1881, be adopted.
Mr.. Collins thought the gentleman from
Jackson was mistaken in saying the con-
vention was without rules, the JOINT rules
referred to having already been adopted by
the house upon the report of the commit
tee of which Mr.. Boardman was chairman
Mr.. Boardman explained that the house
had adopted the joint rules referred to, but
the recommendation of his committee was
made without conference with the senate
committee.
To dispose of the question, Senator Rice
moved to lay the motion of Mr. Child on
the table, which motion prevailed.
In pursuance of his obstruction policy
Mt. Child offered the following resolution
which was read by the clerk:
RESOLVED, That after the first vote for United
States senator, at 12 o'clock m. of each day, de
BATE motions and resolutions pertaining to the
subject shall be In order; but no member of the
convention shall speak more than once upon any
subject until every other member desiring to
speak shall have been heard, and no member
shall speak more than ten minutes at any one
time without unanimous consent; provided, that
