resolutions. Many of the delegates had
left the hall. They were adopted and the

CONTESTANT FROM DULUTH.
Two Hours SquabbIe Before the
Committee ON Credentials.
There was lively row in the room where
the committee on credentials met, that
lasted for two hours. The principal fight
came when two delegations from st. Louis
county applied for admission to the con-
vention. One of the delegations was
headed by Col. c. III. Graves and the other
by Mr.. Tower. The two sets were elected
last Saturday in Duluth. The delegation
headed by Mr.. Tower was elected by the
boilers from the convention after the chair
man of the ST. Louis county convention
had made several rulings which seemed to
them arbitrary and not in accord
with the courtesy usual to conteSting
factions. The boilers claimed yesterday
that they were in the majority at the time
the bolt was made. All the circumstances
of the convention were rehearsed to the
committee on credentials and af1idavits of
the movers in the matter were submitted.
The committee stood to Z in favor Of the
Graves delegation, and the latter was adj
mitted. 1t is claimed that they did this be-
cause the Graves delegation agreed to go for
McGill after the first or second ballot. The
others were for Gilman solid. A good deal
of feeling was stirred up among the resi-
dents of the Zenith city by the discussion
and the final decision of the committee on
credentials
