Gen. Flower then submitted the follow
ing list of delegates to the state convention,
first apologizing for the appearance of his
o Wn name at the head of the list:
Mark D. Flower, w. r. Merriam, Charles
N Bell, William Biekel, P. N. Kirk, D. Aberle,
G. d. Kerr. J. V. Wilson, E. G. Long, J. H.

Sam II. Nichols, Thomas I. Fauntleroy, JUL
JUS Schneider. w. B. Dean, D. E. Reese, Peter
Thauwald, c. A. Sandstrom, James Schoon-
maker, W. T. Burr.
No sooner had this list been read than
James E. Froiseth of the Fifth ward arose
and offered as substitute the following list
of delegates:
Alex Ramsey, George r. Finch. John T.
Averill, G. d. Gilfllan, d. r. Noyes, Albert
Scheffer, Fred Driscoll, Mark D. Flower,
George H. Hazard, Peter Berkey, J. II. Da-

j. W. Evans, G. A. Severance, G. D. Hans
dorf, r. C.. Wiley, A. p. CroonQuist, A. G..
Foster, r. V. Pratt.
AS soon as the substitute had been Of
fered Gen. Flower asked leave to correct
his own report, stating that one gentleman
whom the committee had intended to place
Onthe list had been omitted. This was
granted and the committee was given per-
mission TO withdraw and correct the report
Returning Immediately Gen. Flower said
that he had stricken his own name from
the list and that II. B. Willis had been put
in his place. Mr.. Willis Immediately de-
clined to serve in place of Gen. Flower.
Mr.. Froiseth called for vote on his sub
stitute list, whereupon Stanford Newell
moved that the substitute be laid on the
table, which was carried unanimously, not
even the mover casting his vote against it.
A resolution was then made to place Gen.
Flowers name again at the head of the list
to which that gentlemen responded that he
was not anxious to go to the convention, that
he only felt interested ia the nomination of
Hon. A. r. McGill and knew he had the
sympathy of the entire convention. 1t was
only necessary to send delegates vocing
that sentiment. This mention of McGil's
name was greeted with tremendous ap-
plause and Gen. Flowers name was re-
placed in the list.
vsCANDINAvIANS NOT RECOGNIZED
at this point s. E. Osborne addressed the
chair and said
think the committee has made mistake.
The scandinavian element has not been suffi-
GENTLY recognized, and do not think the ee-
ment should be sighted in any such style.
The ScanainavianS have remained true to
the Republicans, morning, noon and night
and they ought to be more fully represented
on the delegation. They are fully one-haIf
the Republican votes of the state, and are en-
titled to at least four delegates. There is an
other point. A prominent citizen of ST. Paul
Albert Scheffer has been q candidate for gov
ernor. He has withdrawn and l think his
name should be placed at the head of that
list. move that the report be referred back
to the committee with Instructions to place
Mr.. Scheffer's name at the head of it and to
revise it so it shall contain four Scandina-
VANS.
NJ. j. Bell stated that no element had re-
ceived more consideration than the Scandi-
nayians. To be sure only two were on the
list of delegates, but all the others were in
favor of the Scandinavian candidate, Mr..
Stockenstrom. Mr.. Osborn replied that he
would renew his motion, that the Scandi-
navians were actually entitled to six dele
gates but would be content with four. He
did not want to go himself, but thought his
countrymen should be properly recognized.
Stanford Newell said he was surprised to
hear this talk in Republican convention.
He continued:
have always stood by the Scandinavians
and they know it. l believe in talking plain
i'll Repu 5lican convention. We have had
committee and they have worked hard to
make out good list of delegates. Now we

ans, as Germans, as Swedes as Irishmen or
Polanders, but as Republicans. l cannot
help but distrust the necessity Of all these
motions which will nullify the work of last
evening at the primaries.
Mr.. Osborn said he knew they came there
as Republicans and American citizens. but
the Scandinavians felt sore that they had
not been given their share, and the Repub-
licanS could not afford to reject one-half
their votes.
OBJECTIONS TO MR.. LONG.
Mr.. Clausen said that as citizen of the
Seventh ward he wanted to protest against
one name Oh the list, the name of man
who ran on the Democratic ticket last
spring and who was fought by the Republi-
cans, the man being E. G. Long.
w. B. Dean said the afternoon might be
fooled away in trying to get the list salts
factory to every mans taste. Continuing
he said:
The blood of many nations mfngles in my
veins, German, Irish and Scotch. You people
who come from Germany may be Germans
but what do your sons care for the fatherand
plead for the American citizens who are
often neglected. All nations come to this
country, Germans, Norwegians. Swedes,
Frenchmen, Russians and Poanders, but
when all these waters mingle, the great
stream forced from them is American
Mr.. Osborn said the Scandinavians did
not claim recognition as foreigners, but as
American citizens. He had fought for the
Republicans since Fremont was nominated
for the presidency. and he had been no.
titled that the Scandinavians must have
more or they would go out. "Can you af-
ford to let them go?" exclaimed the speaker,
dramatically.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Osborn's
motion to recommlt, which was lost. only
Mr.. Osborn voting no" The list was
then elected as at first reported. Mr.. Will
son then offered the following resolution
which was adopted unanimously, with ap-
plause:
Resolved. That Hon. A. r. McGill of Mic
olet county is the unqualified choice of this
convention and of the Republican party OF
Ramsey county for governor.
Fred Leyde, the Gilman delegate from
the Sixth ward, then offered resolution
to the effect that hereafter in calling pri-
maries or a county convention where the
choice OF state officers was involved, time
be given, at least twenty days. to enable a
canvass to be made and for the voters to
inform themselves regarding the merits of
candidates. The resolution was lost and
the convention adjourned.
