SOME SHOWING OF FEELING
arose when a motion was made that Jacob
Austin, the late receiver of the United
States land Office at Fergus Falls, should be
admitted as proxy for ). a Austin, his
brother. Hans p. BJOrge, from the same
| county, stated that he did not regard Mr..
Austin as a genuine farmer, as he lives
| within the city Of Fergus Falls and does not
/ have the symptoms Of being a horny
| handed son of toll. Mr. BjOrge closed by
| significantly saying that ''all scheming poll
ticians" should be kept out. An excited
Individual arose and chamDiOned the cause
/ of Farmer Austin, and Mr.. Austin arose to
/ say that he considered himself the best
! farmer in Otter Tail county, and invited the
/ convention to go up 10 Fergus Falls and see
l for itself. j. 4. Diamond objected To adj
hitting delegates by proxy. Ignatius Don
nelly here appeared on the floor and was
greeted with applause. He said he had nc
objections TO Mr.Austin, but considered that
/ it would be very dangerous precedent
| to admit by proxy, as this will allow the
enemies of the alliance 10 enter il, and the
next meeting of the state grange will. as a
result, present a miscellaneous collection OF
| politicians, bankers and lawyers. Mr.
| Austin was finally admitted. but the ques-
ton of admitting by proxy gave rise to a
discussion which occupied nearly all the
remainder of the afternoon. The report OF
the committee on credentials was finally &C
eepted.
The next matter taken up was the ap
| pOintment of a committee on resolutions.
| lgnatius DOnnelly moved that the chain
| should appoint committee of five. This
to think that each congressional diStric
should elect its own representative on the
committee. others that the president SHOULD
do the appointing. Several votes wer,
taken. and finally it was decided that eaci
district should elect two members of the
| committee, and that the president should
| appoint three at large, making a committee
| of thirteen.
The delegates withdrew, and after con
! sultatiOn the following names were decided
! upon TO compose the committee ON reSolu.
| tons:
First district, William Sprague: Second dis
| trict, A. A. Williams, William Webb; Thirt
| district, 1. Donnelly, J. $. Shields; Fourth
! district, J. b. Taft. NJ b. Cochran; Fifth dis
! trict, T. b. Barrett, Charles Canning; a
| large, ID. Cleveland, Stearns county; f. II
Hinton, Polk county; J. G. Epler, Otter Tai
/ county.
After considerable discussion the chair
man was authorized to appoint committees
of five each to report upon amendments tC
the constitution and experimental farm anC
| agricultural education.
At q o'clock the convention adjourned.
To-DAY's WORK.
! The afternoon session was held in the
! hall in the main college bnilding. which af-
| forded plenty of room for the delegates aud
| spectators in attendance. The COMMITTEES
on resolutions will probably not report un.
! til tomorrow, and to-day will be devoted t,
a discussion of the railroad and warehouse
! law and agricultural education. Tn,
routine business of the convention is now
out of the way, and it is likely that the de
/ batting of the several important questions
will prove highly interesting, as well a
! profitable.
