this fall. Each faction held convene

week and elected two delegates to the
national Republican convention to be
held in Chicago on June 3. The con-
vention called by the Holmes commit
tee elected George Ii. johnson and j.
V. Brewer as delegates, and George S.
Garfield and J. c, Flynn as alternates
Gilman's convention elected A. Barto
and Fl. &. Page as delegates and Hal
yer Stevenson and H. w. Stone we're
elected alternatas. Early in the day
the Republicans who were in Moor
head to attend the Holmes conSe ntion
held acaucus anelrdecided to endeavor
to harmonize with the faction headed
by Gilman. 4 committee of FIVE was
appointed to confer with Nelson's sup
porters and seek some understanding
by which all Republicans in the dis
trict would support the same candidate
for congress. The committee as in
structed to inform the Nelson conven-
ton that if they would concede the
Kindred wing Of the party the naming
of one Of the delegates to Chicago, and
would also unite in selecting new
congressional district committee in
which both factions should be fairly
represented, and in return the Kin
dred Republicans would not oppose
! the election of Nelson. 1t was felt by
I the Kindred Republicans that this
offer by them was SO liberal that its
rejection would plainly show that the
Nelson crowd preferred diseord to
harmony. After considerable coaxing
the Nelson convention appointed a
committee to confer with the Kindred
committee, and the Nelson committee
after being in session for nearly TWO
hours reported to the convention in
favor Of rejecting the proposition OF
the Kindred committee, and the re:
port was adopted. Both conventions
in separate halls then proceeded with
their work. The Holmes convention
after electing delegates to Chicago de.
cided to postpone the nomination of &
congressman. It was decided to have
Chairman Holmes appoint new dis
trict committee with one representa-
tive from each county, and that this
committee should call convention tx
nominate congressman at the proper
date. A general belief existed tina
Johnson and Brewer would be ad
mitted to the Chicago convention, anc
every possible effort would be exertec
to that end. The Nelson, crowd have
given formal notice that the support o.
those who voted for Kindred in 1885
is not wanted, although it could he OBJ
tanned at "a very slight sacrifice.
OF course the Gilman convention
which met at Fergus Falls on Wednes
day renominated Knute Nelson.
