De,nocratic Conrentfo,,.

The Democratic county convention of Blue
Earth county assembled at2 p m. on yesterday,
at the court house in this city. They were called
to order by Capt. j. L. Washburn, chairman of
the Democratic county committee, who after
reading the call remarked that they represented
the Democracy of Blue Earth county, and hoped
that their action would be marked by wisdom
and prudence, and that the result of their delib-
erations might be the placing of ticket in the
field which would sweep on to victory in Novem-
Der. DR.. G. Murphy, of Garden City, was then
elected temporary chairman, and J. G. Graham,
of Good Thunder, secretary. On motion the
chairman appointed Charles O'Connor, of Nc
Pherson; Perry Wysong of Mankato, and Thos.
Hayes, of Vernon Center, as a committee on cre-
dentials.
Their report was submitted after due deliber-
alton, and was at once accepted, and the two or
three towns which were unrepresented were ac-
corded delegates. The convention, with the ad-
dition of these four delegates, numbered seventy
voters, and was the largest delegate convention
held here for many years. a motion to proceed
to the nomination of a candidate for state sena-
tor was laid on the table, as the feeling seemed
to be that should a Democratic senator be elected
he would not secure his seat in a body so largely
Republican, when the present incumbent was
only technically Ineligible.
The convention then proceeded to an informal
ballot upon the nomination of a candidate for
representative of the legislature. Gen. E. NJ
Pope, PA. Foster and Minor Porter and Stephen
Lamm being named for the position The ballot
resulted as follows:

On Monday evening when the c., NJ. & St. P.
train arrived it brought 10 this city two brothers
by the name of Robert and William Lochead,
who hail from Chippewa Falls, Wis, but who
have recently been employed by j. W. Hoerr, of
this city, on his farm near Mapleton. They had
evidently imbibed something else than artesian
water and William made holy show of his
enebriate state while riding along Front street,
singing and whooping it up TO the terror Of lady
passenger and the disgust of the community
About 8 p. m. the two worthless were discov-
cred in Slade's lumber yard, where they had pre-
empted and were about to establish quarters for
the night. Chief Welch and Officer Sheldon col
Jared them when the liveliest kind of ruction
ensued, William fighting his way to the cage
inch by inch and receiving severe punishment
before he was finally landed there. Arriving at
the cell he was thrust inside, when the music
began by the full band. William tore up the
bedding OF his bunk, threw things around gen
orally, banged his head against the bars, pounded
the wall Of the cage with his fists and howled
like hyena. A pair of handouts were applied
to his rantankerous wrists and he was left to
his own meditaiions. Yesterday morning the
two worthless we're brought before Judge Porter
in a somewhat subdued frame of mind. They
plead guilty to the charge OF disorderly conduct.

John Brooks, OF Muscatine and John Sanders.
OF Dubuque, Iowa, were also found overloaded
with rye and were in. People coming from
Iowa into Minnesota should be careful how they
measure their drinks for having had nothing

the old stuff. This pair being simple drunks
were let down easy and promised good behavior

TILE GERM1NT T0rF

Out of list of three hundred and fifty-
eight German paper 27S are supporting
Cleveland and eighty are advocating Blaine
Heretofore majority of these papers have
been Republican. What is true of the papers
printed in the German language is equally
true of the German people themselves. In
number of instances the German papers have
followed the people and come out for Cleve-
land because they found their subscribers
were supporting him. This was the case
with the leading German paper in Illinois,
the editor of which frankly says that he
found his subscribers and patrons were al
most unanimous for the Democratic candi-
date. He himself was not inclined to sup
port Blaine, but supposed from business
standpoint he could not prudently raise the
Cleveland flag, but before he was aware he
found himself forced by the pressure of Ger
man feeling to come out for Cleveland and
Hendricks, Honest Government and Re-
form. Mr.. LOSER, the managing editor Of the
New York StGdt-Zeitafng, regarding the Ger
man vote in New York city and state saws:
'As to the vote in the city 1 can assure you
that of the many hundreds of my acquaintance /
do not know a single Blaine German. That NAV
sound like wild statement but can assure you
it is true. Among the working element there
may be some Republican strength, but / under
take to say that Blaine will get very few of the
votes cast in New York city by the German pop
ulation. feel positive OF this from the careful
canvass our reporters have made"
The editor OF the Buffalo Zeitarag, recently
on visit to New York city, expressed bis
great delight on circulating among his Ger
man friends there to find them unanimous
/ for Cleveland. On his way to the city he
stopped at Rochester, Syracuse and other
/ points, and everywhere found things in

/ pie, and he says ''the unanimity in New
