that it was withdrawn. The Gresham

REDWOOD DEMOCRATS.
Special to the Globe.
REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, May TO-
The Redwood county Democratic con-
vention, the first ever held in the county.
was held here to-day. Walt Garner was
chairman and w. Z. Baker secretary.
w. P. Christensen and G. W. Waugh
were elected delegates to the state con-
vention and Walt Garner and p. F.
Ryder to the Second district congress
siOnal convention. No instructions
were issued, but the state delegation is
strong for Ames for delegate to the ma
tionaI convention, and the district dele
gates favor Hon. Mart Wilkinson for
congress. Greeley and Gordon, register
and receiver of the land Office, made a
strong fight against Christensen, but
that gentleman was indorsed by the
unanimous vote of the convention.
Christensen, it will be remembered, was
pnt out of the land Office some time ago
by Kelly and DOraD to make place for
Greeley. TO-day's occurrence is a big
victory for Christensen, and he is re-
ceiving numerous congratulations.
