Oh Inc RepuOhcan party Will nominate hnute
Nelson for congress at Fergus Falls on the
23d, and the same crowd will assemble in
Moorhead on the oath to elect delegates to
Chicago to the national convention. Dur
ing the past week your correspond
ent has visited most OF the
principal towns in the Fifth congressional
district and from the best and most reliable
Information obtained am satisfied that the
Kindred faction will make no nomination at
Moorhead on the oath, for congressman, but
adjourn to some future date. They will
elect delegates to the Chicago convention,
however, and make desperate effort for
admission, although the Nelson faction are
determined to freeze them out. Should the
Democratic party put in nomination the Hon.
K. L. Frazee the Kindred crowd will some
time in June nominate Mr.. Kindred and
from good authority l am informed he will
not accept but gracefully withdraw. Should
the Democratic party not nomin-
ate man, Mr.. Kindred will
again make the fight and with the seven
thousand democratic votes in the district and
the twelve thousand he received at the last
election he can overcome the sixteen thou
sand Mr. Nelson received and thus defeat
Nelson. 1t is pretty generally understood
now that If the democratic party nominate
man that Kindred will withdraw from the
contest and il they Go not put a man in the
field he will make the fight. 1t is useless,
however, for Kindred to run if democrat
is in the field with twelve thousand solid
Norwegian votes against him.
The Republican convention for this Grow
Wing) county was held here yesterday after
noon, and elected the following delegates TO
the convention called by the Holmes com
mittee to meet at Moorhead on the oath
inst: J. B. Douglas, w. w. Hartley, f. B.
Thompson, c. E. Webster and c. B. Sleeper.
ALI are firm in the purpose to maintain the
organization which supported Kindred two
years ago. The same convention elected
delegates to the state convention, to be held
at st. Paul, May 1st, as follows: G. f. Kin
dred, B. f. Hartley, j. II. Koop and c. B.
Sleeper. This delegation will support Mr..
Kindred for delegate at large to Chicago, and
will vote for Senator Sabin as chairman OF
the Chicago delegation. 1t is said, also, that
they will favor Arthur.
