Rev. John S. Mott, who had been i'll so
long, died on Saturday morning last.
Mr.. Mott began his acquaintance with
this people in the spring of 1877, being
sent here to be the pastor of the NJ. f.
church. The situation at that time was
anything but pleasant. The spiritual
life of the church was at a very low ebb
and divided against itself. 1t could east
ly have been entirely lost as a church.
Mr.. Mott, however, by his q%uietness of
manner and good judgment succeeded in
so arranging matters that it soon went on
in its usual way. His stay of two years
was quite successful, not only to his
church but to the community at large.
He also became attached to this field and
as the years went and thoughts of the
fast approaching time when he could no
longer give active labor for the Master
came to him. he turned toward this as the
chosen place of rest from his labors. Ev-
identity his had been a labor for souls.
for the little home purchased here was
the only II he ever owned. But it was
ordered otherwise than a place of rest to
the worn body. Disease had come sud-
denly upon him and the remainder of his
life was one of severe suffering. But the
One who had accepted his whole conse-
Grafton more than 40 years before. and
commissioned him to proclaim the great
truth, and who had been with him in ev-
cry need, verified his promise. Il will be
with thee even unto the end" No word
of murmuring or questioning the order
ings of the Master was heard as long
days of restlessness and pain came and
passed. The funeral was attended from
the NJ. E. church on Monday, Presiding
Elder Webster officiating, assisted by
Rev. Messrs. Smith, Austin. Hall and
Wilcox. Kind friends had expressed
their love and respect by very handsome
ly draping the church pulpit and altar.
A large number of people from Panton
and Salisbury, former fields of labor,
were present as well as many from ad-
joining towns.

verse and Wadena counties. Cass county
was put ON the list of contested counties
on an objection raised by MI. Johns
ton to j. G. Leavitt, q substitute
from that county, It being
claimed he resided in Minneapolis.
+. E. Searle, chairman of the commit
tee. read the 450 names Of delegates, and
Ex-Governor Pillsbury moved the adop-
ton of the report. There an objection
made by a gentleman from Traverse,
which was supported by some of the del
egates. After considerable discussion,
however, the report was adopted.
A report was read from the commit
tee on permanent organization nominat-
ing the following officers:
Chairman-Hon. j. L. Gibbs.
Assistant Chairmen-Robert Stratton,
of Hennepin; 7. w. Mayhem, of Cook;
Secretaries-E. A. Sumner, of Henne-
pin; o. NJ. Hall, of st. Louis; j. S. Lor-
man, OF Ramsey.
The convention unanimously ratified
the appointments.
Capt. H. A. Castle moved hat the
chair nominate a committee of one from
each judicial district, and one at large,
to form the Republican state central
committee.
There was a motion that each district
be allowed to choose its own member Of
the committee. The chair said that a
motion to that effect was not necessary,
as il was customary to allow delegates
to recommend their w committeeman.
Some discussion followed, and on mo-
ton the matter was laid over until after
the nomination of a ticket.
After the permanent organization was
completed, Ex-Governor Pillsbury moved
to proceed to nominate state officers. S.
p. Jennison, of Goodhue, objected, be-
cause the convention in the morning,
when in good mental condition, had voted
to have the report of the committee On
platform before nominating the ticket.
Ex-Governor Pillsbury spoke in favor of
his motion, and finally substituted a mo-
ton to suspend the rules and proceed
with the nominations. The chairman was
unable to decide OF a viva voce vote, and
the roll had to be called on the
question. The vote of the Scheffer dele
gates was almost solid against the mo-
ton, while the McGin men were largely
in favor of it. The Merriam delegates
were divided on the question. Good
hue's ''twelve, NO." in the stentorian
tones of Gen. Jennison, and Hennepin's
''thirty eight, yes" in the equally stem
torian tones of Col. Hooker, Ramsey's
twenty in the negative, and the votes of
the other larger counties excited ap-
plause from the factions. The vote re-
sulted-ayes, 100; noes, POS.
The committee on resolutions was not
ready to report, and the convention ad-
journed till 70 o'clock a. IN.
