THE PROBATE JUDGESHIP

scented the name of Van Schlegel, and the

I. E. Rogers asked the convention to APP
point a committee of three to meet the SINH
lar committee appointed by the Democratic

candidate. He thought that the committee
should consist of county delegates. When
DAmOprStS
ment he believed in helping them.
j. E. Eustis seconded the suggestion warmly.
A. Ingerson, of Medina, did not believe in
having anything to do with the Democrats.
Look out for trap" he yelled excitedly.
c. H. Burwell said il was a scheme to down
w. ". Wraaman, the present incumbent II.
L. Gordon thought the Republicans should
nominate one of their own party. E. NJ. John
son said that the Republicans would get left
if they conferred with the Democrats. j. b.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions contented
itself with reporting the following indorse-
ment of the Republican state convention:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
platform OF the Republican perty adopted by
our state convention, and we pledge the Re-
publicans of the state our united aud earnest
efforts to elect the whole state ticket.
Sam Hill, as chairman, read brief extracts
from the platform so the delegates would not
be entirely in the dark as to what they were
indorsng. A motion to adopt the report pre-
vailed.
DOCTORS FIGHT.
The humble Office of coroner stirred UP
quite a jangle. The candidates placed in
nomination, whose capabilities were eXtolled
to the skies, were DIR. R. J. Hill the present
incumbent, DR.. E. S Kelly, DIR. J. Fl. John
son, DR.. H. A. Pinault, DR.. William Russell
and DR.. M. P. Finnegan. NJ. W. Mogan stirred
up some feeling in seconding the nomination
OF DIR. Finnegan.
For the past ten years." he said, linen
have been killed by railroads and machinery,
and never has verdict been found censur-
"
will treat the workingmen fairly, and have in
dorsed DR.. Finnegan. whom the Democrats
have nominated. We would ask that this
convention indorse his nomination.
DIR. o. ]. Evans resented this statement as
a reflection npon DR.. Hills character. A
delegate rose to nominate another candidate,
when some one sarcastically suggested all the
members of the Hennepin County Medical
society. The first ballot resulted as follows:
Collins, I; Hill, 81; Kelly, 2: Pinault, AZ;
Russell, Z; Finaegan, 9; Johnson, 4. Second
ballot: Hill, g. Kelly, 60; scattering, Is.
The third ballot was illegal, as one more bal
lot than the convention was entitled to was
cast. A fourth ballot resulted in DR.. Hill re-
ceiving rs votes, DR.. Kelly II.
H. B. Abel WAS nominated for court COM
missioner.
THE JUDICIAL TICKET.
Upon motion of A. Z. Scott the chair
man was instructed to appoint a committee
of fifteen TO confer with a similar committee
from the Democratic county convention for
the purpose of placing in nomination non
partisan candidate for the district court
judgeship. In case of failure to agree upon
a suitable candidate the committee is to select
Republican candidate.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
At this point the chair announced that as
it was after 6 o'clock the convention must
adjourn to some other place Of meeting. Mo-
lions to adjourn over till morning were voted
down. and it was decided to call meetings of
the commissioners districts in different parts
of the hall and TO hold the Twenty-ninth leg
islative convention at1the city council cham
Der and the Thirteth legislative convention
at Window hall. This plan was followed and
the convention broke up into squads, which
were scattered about the hall. and the nOmi-
nations for county commissioners were made
while the Salvation army was sweeping the
ballots and cigar stubs from the floor. The
candidates for county commissioners thus
placed in nomination, are: First district, j.
H. Gilmore; Second district, John Swift;
Third district, Ii. W. BraZie: Fourth district,
o. L. Erickson; Fifth district, w. S. Chowan.
The Legislative Conventions.
The third floor of the city hall presented
curious appearance last evening. The dele
gates crowded the council chamber, the COM
mittee rooms and the hallway. Baskets of
sandwiches, fruit and boxes of cigars were
laVishly distributed and the famished pOliIi-
clan voted and lunched at the same time. The
Thirtieth district convention met in the city
council chamber, with Fred Hauker in the
chair. After Il preliminary and wordy Skin
miSh, in which the nationality question was
brought into issue, D. A. Macarthur noni-
mated Il. B. Langdon for senator, and wanted
the nomination made unanimous by acclama-
ton. The motion prevailing without OPP
Boardman for the legislature. F. B.
Hart nominated S. P. Snider and argued
the candidacy of his choice upon his record
rather than his claim to the Office. Finally,
after a desultory discussion. in which nearly
every delegate seemed particularly anxious
to ventiate his particular oratorical gifts,
Capt. Snider was nominated by reclamation.
j. H. Seymour, of the Third ward, was
named as the man who could wrest the
French vote from the Democrats. Mr. Gessa-
man nominated III. c. Hankey in the interest
of the laboriEg element. He disparaged the
nationality cry. William Bourett was
nominated. as was A. J. Smith f. b. Hart
proposed that the three remaining repre-
seutatives to be nominated be balloted for
at once. This elected vociferous yells of
mo" and Sam Hill moved to lay on
the table. Ali was confusion, every
body on their feet and all talking at once,
until it seemed like the rumbling of a pro-
digious train of cars. The first ballot failed
to make q choice, Hankey and Seymour each
only receiving one vote, while the other CAN
