MooRHEAD, April 24.-This has been a
booming and boomerang day for the Nelson
faction of the Republican party of the Fifth
district. The Nelsonites came up in full
strength flushed with their work yesterday at
Fergus Falls being with here and there a
change, the same men. When the morning
trains arrived Nelson S brass band welcomed
| the incoming throng and it footed at inter
walls during the day. Among the Nelson
conventionists there was but little caucusing,
there seeming to be quiet understanding
that their plans were made and nothing re-
manned but to carry out the cut and dried
work of the bosses. During the
morning caucus of st. Louis county and
adjoining counties was held to promote the
chances of Col. Graves for delegate to Chi
cago, full report whereof is given in the
orally were birthstone toward the Kindred
convention, but they were well in hand and
but little of the fire came out in their public
work. The Blaine sentiment was red hot
and the candidates for delegates were vouched
for as truly original Blaine men, without
guile. Gov. Gilman presided with the ut
most blandness, and on the surface of things
all was lovely. though an undercurrent was
plainly discernible that the iron policy of
hate that had astracised twelve thousand Re-
publicans was rather an ugly policy after
all.
At 900 conference was held at Col.
Graves room at the Grand Pacific to boom
that gentleman's chance for delegate to
Chicago Some twenty-five attended from
st. Louis, and adjoining counties, with R. c..
Mitchell as chairman. The first resolution
offered was in favor of Blaine. After a good
deal of informal talk twas adopted, request
ing the delegates to support Blaine at
Chicago.
Then came up the question of com
promise with the Kindred convention. A
motion was made that members of the con-
vention should not favor a compromise.
Box, of Crookston, and Bailey and Scott, of
Duluth, opposed compromise. Bailey,
Laroke and Whitney spoke for peace, de-
string such action to prevail as to end the
| factions in the district and advised waiting
for overtures from the Holmes-Kindred
convention.
Several speakers were bitter against
the Kindred faction and finally consider
able majority voted in favor of no COM
promise. and the remainder abstained from
voting.
Next came motion to support Col. Graves
for delegate to Chicago This was opposed
| by z. A. Scott on the ground that Graves
was not an available or representative man.
This brought out Whitney, Mitchell, Swan
strom and Bailey in his favor. Undying
hostility to compromise was again worked
over Bailey growing vehement. On ris-
ing vote the motion was adopted, fourteen
in favor, one (Scotb opposed. After agreeing
to sit together and try to actin harmony the
conference dispersed, each one being en-
joined to boom Graves among the other del
gates.
