inatiOn speech from the platform, after
which Col. Bobleter was unanimously cleo
ted by reclamation.
T. T. Fauntleroy, of st. Paul. then made
rousing speech seconding Mr.. Kellogg
nomination, which was exceedingly f1owery,
and was frequently interrupted by ridicule
and chestnut gongs.
Mark H. Dunnell made rousing speech
for j.. M. Burlingame, of Owatonna.
G. L. Lewis, of Otter Tail. referred to
the way the convention had decided to lg-
more the claims of III. G. StordOck, of Roth
say. Fargus Falls and Otter Tail county,
he said, had invariably been ignored in
making up state tickets.
A Voice-What about Sam Nichols?
Mr.. Lews-Sam Nichols moved away from
US nearly twelve years ago. Laughter. He
is no longer one of us. He may come before
this convention as candidate from Otter
Tail, but we regard him as Ramsey county
man. Mr.. Chairman, it was stated here once
to-day that this convention had de-
cided to insult the Fifth district
(referring to Senator O'Briens remarks on
the Scandinavian question. / hope this will
not be so. l hope this convention will decide
to accept the name of Moses E. Clapp, of
Fergus Falls.
Knute Nelson also hoped the Fifth dis
trict would not be altogether ignored by
the convention, and he seconded the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Clapp. A Stevens county
delegate also seconded Clapp'S nomination.
A formal ballot was taken for attorney
general then as follows, being announced
at LOS a. m. this morning:
Whole number, 800.
For a choice, ISL.
W. S. Pattee. 500. 9S Moses E. Clapp. - 42
Frank B. Kellogg. S9IJ. M. Burlingame.. 81
Cries of ''Clapp! Clappw ensued. A mo-
ton to suspend the rules and elect Mr..
Clapp by reclamation was decided out of
order. The second formal ballot was
taken while the delegates looked sick and
very much worn out. They were not the
only ones who looked exceedingly tired
however, for several unsuccessful candidates
who hung around had pallid countenances
which indicated blasted hopes, and desire
to get through with the fun. What this
ballot developed at 1:25 a. m. was:
Whole number. 352.
For choice, III.
Clapp. .lS2 Kellogg. ...........63
Pattee. ......."... 69lBurlingame. 49,. ..19
AS usual the nominee was cheered to
some extent, although the convention
was too much fatigued to yell
for any great length of time. Mr.. Clapp
was called. In his speech he said he
was very grateful for his nomination,
and was also grateful for the sublime insti-
tuition which recognized the equality of
states. and the grand principles of the Re-
publican party, and he would endeavor to
be true. [Cheers.
