which the state central committee had rec
commended, and he made a motion to that
effect. ID. Aberle, of st. Paul, raised Q
point OF order, which the chairmanov err
ruled. Dr. Wedge then appointed HI. G..
Hicks. OF Minneapolis, w. Ell. Gale, OF
Winona. John A. Lovely. of Albert Lea,
M. j. Daniels, of Rochester, and Alphonso
Barto, of Sank Center.
The chair then announced that the COM
mittee on credentials was ready to report,
and Mark II. Dunuell, chairman of the
committee. read the report, stating that
credentials were received from eighty
counties, and 361 delegates. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that ltasca county
was omitted from the call, and it was en-
titled to two delegates. By the report of
the committee, the (Graves- Gilman) dele
CATION from st. Louis county, and the
Gibbs delegation from Grant county were
admitted. Hennepin county having been
omitted by the chairman, some amusement
was afforded.
Col. Hooker, of Minneapolis, moved the
adoption of the report with the exception
of the delegation from st. Louis. Major
Camp, of Minneapolis, raised point of
order. The motion of Col. Hooker was
amended to have the entire report adopted.
Loren Fletcher hoped the amend
ment would not be adopted, as there
was minority report, which he desired
would be heard. Stanford Newell, of st.
Paul, said he would vote for the adoption
of the report, as it was after o'clock, and
the matter had been fully considered in the
committee on credentials. D. B. Searle
favored the adoption of the report, explain
ing that there was no minority report. It
was then adopted. the nays being few and
feeble.

dents of the convention. The report was
adopted unanimously.
A motion was made by G. A. Pillsbury,
of Minneapolis, to proceed to ballot for
officers at once Knute Nelson had caught
On to the McGill-Gbbs scheme, and he pro-
posed an amendment to the effect
that the committee on platform
and resolutions be heard first. This
was lost by loud negative vote, most of
which came from the rear gallery. Pills
bury'S motion was then carried. On Gov.
Barto'S motion the chair appointed as tell
ers Maj. Camp, Of Minneapolis; B. F.
Lewis, of Waseca. and G. G. Hartley, of
Brainerd. A motion of John S. Pillsbury
was carried, requiring the delegation from
each county to march forward and deposit
their votes. Maj. Camp here arose and
caused little smile by declaring that he
did not think he should be teller, as he
had been honored with the Office of vice
president. G. A. PillsburY was substituted.
An attempt to have the chairman Of each
delegation cast the vote for each county
provoked loud opposition. and cries Of
''No, no." assembled from all over the house.
John S. Pillsbury made motion to give
the friends of each candidate for governor
ten minutes time to present the merits Of
their candidate. Senator Comstock, of
Moorhead, wanted it amended to limit the
time to five minutes. DR.. Wedge put the
motion, receiving a rOusing affirmative.
