III dt dill, was discussed III all It's bearings,
and the opinion were general that more
harmonious gathering would result than
had been generally anticipated. ''We can
not afford to have row at this time" said
Fergus Falls delegate, and the sentiment
met the popular approval Delegates who
brought in the idea gathered at home, that
war was on between Mayor Ames and
Messrs Kelly and Doran, were quickly I'M
deceived, and while few expressed their
regret, the majority was highly pleased at
this apparent easy settlement OF what had
seemed veXed problem. There seemed
very little sympathy for Donnelly or mis-
Ideas. and more than one delegate referred
TO the sage as an apple Of discord that had
best be kept out of the Democratic love-
feast. The misfOrtunes of Ell. II. Fuller
seemed also to excite amusement rather
than sorrow, and that Fuller, after his gil
gantic claims. was poor general, seemed
the current opinion. 1t was reported
AN AGREEMENT HAD BEEN REACHED
between Ames and Kelly and Doran by
which harmony and accord were secured.
Under this. if true, Doran is to retain his
position as chairman OF the state central
committee but the committee is to be
named by Ames. 1t is held to be of the
highest Importance that the committee be
nominee, and that Kelly and Doran are
both too good Democrats to oppose this. A
mistaken impression has crept out in re-
gard to Col. Glenn, and the correction of it
has done much to promote harmony. The
idea was that Glenn was seeking to super
Sede DOran on the committee. and that
AmeS was furthering this ambition; but
Glenn emphatically ends that story by the
announcement that he is looking for no
such thing. and would not have it if tend
cred to him on silver Saver. but will do
his utmost, in his individual capacity, to
secure the success of the ticket nominated.
ANOTHER STORY
brought in by some of the western delegates
is to the effect that Doran and Kelly had
agreed to support Ames for the nomination
and slaugter him at the polls. Though en-
tirely diScredited. it created no little talk
and caused several delegates to suggest
wholesale capture Of the convention. While
it is the general opinion that the only OPP
position to Ames will be from the friends
of John Frank and that while Ames will
be nominated by reclamation, no one seems
to know how much of his strength is also
strength as against Kelly and Doran, or
whether it would be the part of wisdom to
attempt to down those powerful leaders in
the convention. From what could be
learned. Mayor Ames expects nothing but
friendship and friendly acts from them and
is Smilngly serene in his anticipatOnS of
what to-day may bring forth. He spent
yesterday afternoon and evening in ST.
Paul and will remain there until the con-
venti0n chooses"
THE HENNEPIN DELEGATION
has made elaborate preparations for its de-
scent on st. Paul to-day. Armed with
| shining plug hats and loaded with yellow
canes. it will take the 1880 Manitoba train.
A party of two hundred, with uniform
hats, is expected to accompany the delega-
ton, and band will escort it from the
depot to the convention hall.
| There has been considerable talk of the
| probable platform to be presented, and all
of it is very wide of the mark. One has
been prepared which the convention may or
may not accept. 1t deals in no high plati-
tudes or glittering generalities. but is short,
sharp and to the point. Andrew Jackson
resolutions are steered clear of, and the
document is plain, straightforward argu-
ment to the voters Of Minnesota, setting
forth the principles to which the party is
pledged. On matters pertaining to the tar
| if. the farmer and the laborer, it is ad-
vanced but radical, and cannot fail of being
! impressive. and its arragnment of Republi-
! can inefficiency and inSuificiency during
| twenty-SiX years Of power is decisive and
| convincing.
VARIOUS JOTTINGS.
! Col. Glenn said that the statement purpor
| ing to emanate from the brain of Democrat
| to the effect that he has knife well whetted
| for the scalps of Kelly and Doran is purely a
| fabrication, the conception of an ingenious
member of the opposition. He wishes it dis
! Lincty understood that he has never had
| fight with either Kelly or Doran but that he
has no particular love for Doran. Yet Q is
| kellys friend
Ed Dankel, of New Uln, is so well pleased
with Minneapolis that he is resolved to get
| elected delegate to every state convention in
| future years, so he will have an opportunity
to renew acquaintance and pledge new VOWS
of loyalty to Mayor Ames He is accompa-
MED by E. G. PAIL also of New Ulm, and
| Charles Berg of Sleepy Eye.
Ignatius Donnelly was an early arrival but
he had little to say, and no particular advice
| to offer delegates, further than to urge them
to stand by Mayor Ames. He gave it as his
unprejudced opinion, however, that Mayor
Ames will receive the nomination by two
thirds vote of the entire convention.
L. H. Thompson and John O'Gorman, of
Ada, were delighted with the Exposition.
They are first, last and ali the time for Ames
| for governor, and predict his nomination by
| reclamation.
F. A. Noble and John Kennedy, of the
| Mortified delegation, came up and shook
hands with Mayor Ames previous to the lat
| ter's departure for St. Paul in the afternoon.
o d. r. P. Ribbs, of Albert Lea, sees no rea-
SOD for fearing rupture in the party. He
has confidence IN the power of the friends Of
the candidate TO heal all Old sores.
L. E. Brown, of Sleep Eye. feels confid ent
! that Mayor Ames is certain of not only the
nomination. but of an election in Novem Der.
J. J. Thornton, of st. James, is perhaps
the most enthusiastic Ames supporter of any
| of the delegates from a distance.
