Republicans OF the sixth.
Special to the GLOBE.
BRAINERD, June 3G.-The Evergreen
City was bustling to-day with crowd of
good-natured and good-looking politicians.
So far as the congressional nomination was
concerned there was no excitement and no
enthusiasm. The few conferences held
during the night had satisfied the opposi-
tion that there was no possible show to de-
feat Nelson, SO they concluded to accept
the situation gracefully and to permit a
reign of harmony to prevail. The most
active political work that was being done
to-day was done by the candidates for the
state offices. Gilman and Scheffer were
busily engaged interviewing the constitu-
ency, while Strait Window, Braden and
other asprants for gubenatorial honors
were respectfully represented by proxies.
1t was given out that Gilman was putting
his finger into the congressional pie and
the Nelson men were keeping
A CLOSE WATCH
ON his movements. When the congressional
convention was called to order at 10 o'clock
by g. E. CorliSs, chairman of the district
committee every delegate was in his seat
and ready for business. Charles F. Kindred
OF Brainerd was made temporary chairman
and Judge Sutherland of Becker county
temporary secretary. Mr.. Kindred's speech
was a model Of brevity. lie said: Gen
tlemen, l thank you. Now to business. -
The usual committees on credentials, reso-
lutionS and permanent organization were
appointed and a half-hour recess taken.
| After the recess the reports of the commit
tees were received and adopted without
discussion. The temporary organization
was made permanent. Nominations being
next in order, Mr.. Corliss of Fergus Falls
nominated Hon. Knute Nelson in a grace
full speech, and B. f. Hartshorne moved
that the nomination be made by acclama-
ton. At this point young man with a
weak voice and frightened sort of a look
stock of Clay county in nomination, and
EXPECTED A CYCLONE
to strike him. And it did. THAT'S Gil
mans work." remarked delegate in an
undertone. In moments half dozen dele
gates were on their feet and as many of
them as could be heard were declaring in a
most emphatic way that Mr.. Comstock's
name was being used without authority.
A Clay county delegate announced that
Mr. Comstock was Nelson man tooth and
toe nail, and the reason why he was not
present to fight for Nelson was that he had
new baby at home and had to stay to take
care of it. This statement seemed to
satisfy the convention of Mr.. ComStock's s
| loyalty to Nelson. and it served to squelch
the young man who had the tamerity to
raise voice against Nelson in Nelson's
own private convention. The chairman
was equal to the emergency, and declared
that inasmuch as Comstock's nomination
had no second he would not entertain it
and accordingly Nelson was declared to be
nominated by acclamation.
!. THE RESOLUTIONS.
The following is the substance of the
resolutions adopted by the conventions:
That the next legislature provide against
unjust railroad discrimination in the trans
portation of grain and other articles of farm
an open market for the proper inspection
and grading of gram and for the operation of
elevators and warehouses be perfected; that
every railroad be required to receive from
each other carloads of fuel and lumber at the
same cost to the shipper as if over their own
road; that all means be used to develop the
great water route ending at Duluth, and thus
escape the eXactionS of Minneapolis; that we
! insist upon q material reduction of tariff;
that Knute Nelson has performed his duties
with fidelity and honor; that the most impor-
tant OF all interests is manual labor; that
congress ascertain the causes of the difficult
ties in this direction; that in order to deter
mine what are reasonable charges upon any
line of railroad the railroad commissioners
| ascertain the amount actually invested by
| the owners; that the member of congress
| favor interstate commerce; that congress
pass law against the manufacture and sale
! of oleonargarne Or bogus butter with i'm
prisonment penalties; that appropriations be
made Tor waterways in the western part of
| the state, especially Big Stone and Lake
| Traverse.
After the adoption of the resolutions the
| convention adjourned. During the recess
| between the congressional and judicial cen
ventionS the gubernatorial candidates re-
sumed their smiling and went to work on
the delegates. 1t was pretty obvious that
Mr.. Albert Scheffer of st. Paul has strong
hold on the Scandinavians of the Northern
part of the state, and it will be a surprise
to his friends if he does not develop good
deal of strength from that section of the
state convention. There is one thing in
| Mr.. Scheffer's favor-he is the first choice
of large number and the second choice of
nearly every Republican, which in case of
deadlock in the convention will be greatly
| to his advantage.
