WINoNA, Sept. I3.-There was lively
contest at the Winona county convention

men had the advantage of superiority in
numbers and scored signal victory. The

Clarke, chairman of the Democratic county
committee. A temporary organization was
easily effected by the election of Sam Mel
vim as chairman and Theodore Ruess as
secretary. A committee of credentials con-
SiStng of P. Schweitzer. Frank l.. COttel

EX-Mayor Ludwig agreed with Mr.. Buck
in objecting to the original motion and took
the opportunity Of saying that the story
being circulated about that he was going
to st. Paul with resolution in his pocket
denouncing Kelly and DOran, was unqual-
iiedly false, and the party who circulated
it did it solely with malicious intent. He
favored harmony and peace in the county,
district and state, whether he went to st.
Paul or not. and he objected to politicians
from abroad being sent down to Winona to
create diScord in the Democratic ranks.
The original motion, however, prevailed,
and the chair appointed G. Il. Lamberton,
w. A. Alien. c. a Gle, Mic Simons and
P. Il. Williams. who retired and soon re-
turned with the following list OF delegates:
P. H. Williams, Peter Scheitzer, S. D.
Gwinn, F. L. Cotter, Peter Leach, Joseph
Leicht, Henry G. Shepard, w. A. Allen, Johu
John O'Dea, Sam Hamilton, II. p. Boz ntOn
P. Gard, Theodore Russ II. w. Lamberton
John 0Dea moved the adoption OF the re-
port, Fl. l.. Buck offered an amendment By
submitting another list of delegates headed
by DR.. j. B. McGaughey with ex-Mayor Lud
wig, Hon. Henry Becker Hon. G. f. Buck
and others prominent in county politics OIL
the list, but division of the house showed
that the anti-helly men were in a decided
minority, and the list of delegates as reported
by the committee was then adopted by q goOd
majority. The delegates go uninstructed
although, doubtless all are friends of P. Il
Kelly. Doc Ames is the choice of the ma
jority of them for governor. A number OF
the delegates departed for ST. Paul this even
ing on the Dutchman. The balance will leave
on the early morning train.
