TO-DAY'S CONVENTION.

At high noon to-day the Democrats of
Hennepin county will hold a convention
at the West side Turner hall to choose
thirty-three delegates to the state con-
vention at st. Paul May II. Two
meetings of delegates were held
last night, both being of eau
Gus character, and both being in the
secret order, but nothing of importance
was developed. Yesterday the friends
of Mayor AmeS declared they had an
easy majority of the delegates, and
would control the convention. The
few ants who could be found were
not nearly so confident as on the day
before, and from a threatening attitude
had changed to saying everything
would be well if the Ames people
were not too lordly in their style.
1t was whispered that this argument
it is not SO much to elect the mayor
delegate to st. Louis. That isn't the
point. But if he is defeated for this, he
will be knocked out for governor"
Others said: 1.-The entire state is look
ing to see what Hennepin county would
Go for AmeS and we must show our
selves" Under this style of argument
it was pretty generally conceded last
night that the doctor would control the
delegation.
There has been nothing approaching
a solution of the chairmanship question.
The name of c. NJ. Foote was heard con-
siderably as that of the Ames wing, but
it had already been settled that
Ames' friends preferred Titus Mareck.
Foote and Mareck are both on the
same platform and a choice would
not be significant. Both are for Win
ston also, and for that matter the con-
vention will be solid for the Fifth
warder. 1t looks as though there might
be three or four nominations for chair
man, as there are several ideas eX-
pressed as to what should be implied in
the election of presiding officer.
The idea that the convention will be
as serene as a summer sky is given out
on all hands, and every delegate wishes
it understood he is for harmony. The
desire for peace is so great that lively
fight for it may enSue. If the con-
vention is not very one-sided for Ames,
the probability is there will be arumpus
forced upon it. 1t will not be bitter, of
course. but just little lively. 1t will
be. in its makeup, one of the best con-
VentiOnS the party ever held.

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER has yielded te
the arguments Of Coz. Thompson and
others of the one state committee now in
Washington and has stricken that OBJ.
noxious clause regarding the abolition
of counties of less than 5000 population
from his bill. In his argument before
the committee on territories Mr.. John
non also took strong grounds against this
feature Of the bill. There are several
more bad features which the committee
hope to remedy. The most serious one
is that which postpones statehood indef.
initely, or until congress is pleased to
act, after the constitution has been
tramedland adopted by the people and
members Of congress elected.
The above is from the Bismarck Trlb-
une, the Church administration organ.

deem notification meeting which indor.
sed the Springer bill. There must be
sadly wrong about the
Springer monstrosity when its " god
fathers give it away.

A Warntng to Butchers.

Editor .Inter-Ocean In answer to
your question for stock r~aisers, we would
say in behalf of the farmers that the
local butchers are and have always been
in favor of buying their beef east instead
of p%atronizing tho farmers. 1t is also u
we'll known fact that they have COM
pellsd farmers to give them their stock
at the shameful low price Of less than 2
cents per pound live weight, but never
forgot to charge the consumer IL cents to
20 cents per pound for the same. Are
the farmers and stock raisers going to
submit forever to such q condition OF
things? We sav not much. Let the
local butchers take heed. Before another
year runs Owe their heads they may be
called to pay to tho farmer what his stock
is actually worth. II not, the farmer
will have IN opportunity to dispose OF
his beef direct to the consumer at q price
which will astonish the natives. There
Is already a scheme or foot to demand
and exact what is Just and right from the
local butchers. If they don't pay any
respect to the farmers stock and b cost
Of raising the same. tho farmers will see
that their interests are respected. 1t 10
known fact that farmers were forced to
give good fat COWS last fall for less thar
2 cents per pound, while the iMarke,
price was q cents at st. Paul. Tho Farm

prevailed. The river was soon out of

bridges were seriously undermined, the
progress Of trains along the Manitob a

bound freight went through a bridge
near Glasgow and the engine and several
cars dropped into the stream below and
were covered by water. Snow melted
