THE WHEAT RECEIVERS KICK.

They Object te Paying Elevator
Charges on Wheat Direct to the
Mills.
Tomorrow evening, at the chamber of
commerce, a conference will be held be-
tween representatives of the local railroads
and committee of the chamber, relative
to the disposition of wheat upon its arrival
at Minneapolis. The wheat receivers de-
sire to dispense with the elevators on &C
count of the expense, and the railroads OBJ
ject. 1t is claimed by the latter that if the
wheat is sent direct to the mills, without
pa ssing through the elevators the process
of unloading is much slower and the delay
will cause numberless Inconvenience.
When the rush occurs and the side tracks
are crowded, they claim the rush would be
fnconceivable were it not for the expedition
with which the elevators empty the cars.
The mills cannot hope to equal this. They
also make the point that in cases
of demurrage, there will be no proper party
to whom to attach the responsibility The
other side of the case is the claim made by
the wheat receivers that wheat sold to the

To-day,s Democratic Convention.

At 10 o'clock this morning the Demo

assemble at Turner hall to select two dele
cations to represent the county, one at the
state convention at st. Paul on Sept. IA
and the other at the congressional conven-
ton at Minneapolis on Sept. 30. Though
a large convention. made up of ia dele
gates. there is every indication that al
though vigorous it will not be inharmo-
NOUS There will be no disagreement over
the delegates to st, Paul, as the county is
solid for Ames for governor. 1t is possible
that one or two personal enemies of Col.
Glenn may make themselves heard, but it
will not affect the good humor of the con-
vention and will have no bearing or the
result. 1t looks now as though Glenn would
be chairman of the convention without no
tlceable opposition.

COL. GLENN ENDORSED.
The Alleged Anti Caucus in the
First Ward Denied.

1t transpireS that the report published in
the opposition press to the effect that the
delegates from the county convention from
the First ward held meeting Monday
night at which Col. NJ. W. Glenn was con-
demned. was a fabrication. The
delegates elected in the various
precincts to the county convention
deny that any such meeting was held, and
diSclaim all knowledge of any movement
anti-Glenn. Last night GLOBE reporter
met number of representative Democrats
of the First ward and was told in every in
stance that Col. Glenn was considered the
strongest leader, and that he is their choice
for chairman of the convention which meets
in Turner Hall to-day for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the state and to the
congressional conventions. While lack of
space forbids publishing the sentiments eX-
pressed. the following will serve as fair
sample:
A. P. Chesiey-An know about this meet
ing I have CLEANED from the Republican
papers. and consider it a hoax made out of
whole cloth. Col Glenn has been an alder
man from our ward and l consider him the
best that we have ever had, and should be
glad to see him chairman of to-morroW's
convention.
Matt Bredimus-It is all bosh. The people
of the First ward like Col. Glenn, and no
meeting could be held here that would con-
denim Glenn. 1 am his friend.
Robert Irwin-EyerybOdy knows that
have all the faith the world in Col. Glenn.
There is no opposition to him in the First
ward that can ever harm him. He was the
best alderman We ever had and hope he
will move back here. We would elect him
again.
P. J. Ryan-Col. Glenn is my choice for
any Office he may want, but l am told he don't
want an Office. l have always voted for him.
! do not believe there is u sentiment here
against him. He has my sympathy.
D. Driscoll-I wish we had Col. Glenn for
alderman again. There is not word of
truth in the statement that the First ward
Democrats are opposed to him.
P. Graham-I do not know thing against
Col enn. / have known him long time.
as citizen and as an oficeholder, and I
never have known of any man who has had
the hardihood to point the finger of suspi-
cion to him. There has been no meeting held
here to down him.
J. W. Orth-They could not get a corpor-
ais guard to attend such meeting in the
First ward, Col. Glenn's old home. He is
liked here.
Mr.. Long of Long Bros.-I am in favor Of
Col. Glenn. first, last and all the time.
C. a. ChaSe-I don't believe they held such
a meeting.
G. J. Nicholson-Col. Glenn is represent
alive Democrat and has few enemies in the
First ward. He is the true friend of the
laboring men, and is capable Of holding any
position, whereas the man who has made war
on him is capable of holding nothing.

that no accident should happen.
