ton by this convention recommending Mr..
Kindred to the state convention for
election as a delegate at large would not
be satisfactory to them, and received mega
tive reply, and therefore report the following
resolution:
Reso'red, That the proposition made TO
this convention be not accepted.
Upon motion of Mr.. Gates the report OF
the committee was adopted with loud cheers.
Senator Buckham, of Sank Rapids, arose
and said that he feared great injustice had
been done. Twelve thousand Republic
cans OF the Fifth district had
been ignored and repudiated and for him
self with due sense of self respect he could
no longer abide with the body taking such
action and therefore he would respectfully
withdraw.
Mr.. Buckham left the hall derisive cries
good bye followed him. The committee on
resolutions reported the same series as
adopted at Fergus Falls, April 23rd.
which the convention in due course
adopted.
A motion prevailed that the remaining del
eeate from Benton county after the with
drawal of Senator Buckham cast the two
votes of that county.
DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
Candidates for delegates were
then announced with salvo
of eulogy for each fayorite son
that was perfectly ear piercing and heart
rending. The ca ndidates thus put forward
we're a. Barto of Stearns, Col. C. II. Graves,
of st. Louis, D. g. Page, of Otter Tail, Halvor
I .,rI d n
of st. Louis. The first informal ballot for
one delegate resulted: Barto, A; Graves,
81; Stennison, %; Stearns, 4 Page. p.
Mr.. Wait moved that the nomination Of
Gov. BartO be made unanimous.
Pending this vote, ]. II. Baker spoke Of
the purpose of the Kindred faction to contest
''this thing to the bitter end" and c. F.
Kindred viii appear at Chicago contesting.
1t is only by the election of man like
Gov. Barto, who knew all the ms and outs
of the Fifth district fight that they could
eet the enemy on their own grounds. The
strongest backing C. F. Kindred ever had did
not come from the Fifth district, but from
| Saltwater, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and the
man who goes from this district must be pre-
pared to combat the powerful influences that
environ Kindred, and meet the false state
ments that viii be made by Col. Geo. F.
johnson, and no man can use falsehood
more adroitly than this man when he has
purpose to serve.
Mr.. Baker was eloquent, clear and sincere,
and his speech carried enthusiasm to high
pitch, and the vote for Barto was wildly unan-
imous.
CALLS FOR BARTO
brought him before the convention, but he
only thanked the convention, saying il he
went to Chicago he should try to do justice to
the Fifth district The convention then pro
ceeded TO 4 formal ballot for sending sec
ond delegate, the vote being Graves So;
Stennerson 10; Page 48. No choice.
Second ballot-Graves 81; Stennerson /;
Page 65. II. G. Page having u majority was
declared duly elected.
Mr. Page returned thanks, looking the
while for all the world like the devout Mctho-
dist who thanked God he had belonged to
church thirty years and it hadn't cost him
cent The slaughter of Col. Graves caused
companionable delegate to move that the
Fifth district present his name to the state
convention for delegate at large. Adopted.
Halver Stennerson and II. W. Stone were
elected the alternate delegates by acclama-
ton. The convention adjourned, and the
delegates filed out as solemnly as mourners
at a funeral.
