nanceQ Jnef6DY. w ltn this emu III view,
he has, it is alleged. agreed to vote for the
seating of the Herbert delegation from
CHIPPEWA COUNTY.
This, he argues, would not be enough to
nominate Herbert, and would make Reed
so mad that he would never consent to
transfer his forces to the Red Wing candI-
date. This would bring about the desired
result so far as Denuy's plan is concerned.
But. if there is any truth in the story that
Reed and Herbert have entered into com
pact to defeat Strait, the De my scheme
would fail of realization. The friends of
Denny or Reed-withOut the apparent
sanction of Hon. W. S. Pattee-are en-
deavoring to waste capital against Herbert
with the Rice county DELEGATION, because Of
the manner in which the Goodhue delega-
ton cast its vote for attorney general in
the state convention. A portion of the
Goodhue delegates voted for Clapp. of Fer
gus Falls when it was supposed they
were solid for Pattee, of NOrthhed. The
action OF the GOOdhue delegates, it is
charged, was due TO an agreement made
with the Otter Tail men that the latter
should vote for McGill. This. it is asserted,
is contrary to Herbert's often expressed
theory that every section should stand oy
its own candidate, and it will be used
against him as far as possible. These are
samples of the rumorS ana romanceS float
ing about. They are given for what they
are worth and the GLOBE readers may
take them in that light. The situation up
to o'clock this afternoon. at which time
the report closes, may be
BRIEFLY SUMMARIZED.
Neither Denny, Reed or Herbert has suf-
fcent strength pledged to secure nOmina-
ton; Reed is looked upon as the one most
likely to win, although there is but little of
tangible nature on which to base such a
belief; Denny is not believed TO nave much
strength. but is really working in the inter-
est of Strait; Strait stands little or no
chance and will be slaughtered by Herbert
and Reed If ne is brought out; Reed or Her
bert will be nominated, most likely the
former; there will be no dark horse; the
convention will not repeat the kaSSOn folly
and have a prOtracted and acrimonious SeS-
sion. This is how it looks now, iin nutshell
You pays your money and you takes your
choice" There may be decided change
before midnight, however. But few of the
delegates have yet arrived; neither of the
candidates are on the ground there is little
or no discussion about the public resorts.
The bulk of the delegates and the rival
pected on the early evening trains-one or
two special trains being run to accommo-
date the politicians and statesmen from the
several counties who will be here. When
the crowd comes and the chiefs throw
down the gauntlet there may be some sui
phurouS effects not now dreamed of.
THE STIFFNESS OF THE TOMB
reigned supreme about the hotels during
the entire day, not a candidate or delegate
being in sight. They did not choose to
come in on the morning trains, and, conse-
uuently they could not come until late in
the afternoon or early i'll the evening. The
hotel prOprietOrs are busy making arrange
mentS for the invasion, and cots and mat
tresses and all kinds of bedding were
strewn about rooms and Railways in reck-
less confusion, but the anXiously looked
for politician did not appear to lend dig
nifty and spirit to the scene. 1t was after
o'clock when the first outside delegation
put in an appearance, the contingent
from Goodhue headed by Candidate Her
bert and tlanked by Gen. Jennison. Trains
from the south and north came in soon
after. bringing in g0od-Sized crowds of del
egates and spectators. and the hotels soon
filled up and there was
A RUSH FOR SUPPER.
Denny and Reed came in with the crowd
and at once fell to buttOn-hoiing the dele
gates and making themselves generally
agreeable. The scene shifted as if by
magic, and Quietude gave way to hustle
and noise and pushing and jostling. What
promised to be dull and liStleSs affair sud
denly transformed itself into a spirited eau
Gus. The candidates opened their head
quarters. and their adherentS and admirers
came in to see them and shook hands and
told great stories about how their counties
were going to vote. The noise and hustle
continued far into the night. and the combi-
nations made and compactS formed will
probably be diyulged tomorrow during the
convention proceedings. Everything is
good humored. however, and there is no
indication of a fight. AcceSsions to the
ranks of the delegates are expected i'll by
the morning trains.
CANDIDATE HERBERT
arrived from Red Wing with portion Of
his delegation on the o'clock train. He
wore loose-ftting overcOat, which served
to keep his body warm, but the wind blew
through his whiSkerS. In fact, he COM
planned of the cold and intimated that
stove would be a luxury, but he was not
afraid of being frozen out by Denny or
Reed. On the contrary. he smiled with
serene satisfaction and intimated that his
chances for the nomination were good, but
