SNYDER AND SERENITY
Easily Controlled the Hennepin
Republican Convention.

A body of men assembled to talk over
a picnic excursion could not have been
more peaceful. harmonious and mOnOt-
onOuS than was the Republican county
convention which assembled at Plum
meT hall yesterday merning to choose
thirty-eight delegates to represent Hen
nepin at the district convention at
AnOka next Tuesday. The hall is
small and the delegation was full. e.,
complete, so there was scarcely room
for harmony and enthusiasm at once,
and the latter was crowded out by COM
mon consent. 1t was a Snider conven-
ton, from the lonely delegate from
Golden Valley up TO Capt. Frank b.
Hart, who ran things, and Col. A. H.
Hall. who presided, and no FletcherS
or ClOughs or other malcontents
put in an appearance. All unmindful
of November showers the crowd wore
happy September sort of smile. A. j.
BOardman. the new chairman of the
new county committee, got his hand in
by calling the convention to order. j.
NJ. Underwood. the Chinese Chang of
the Eleventh ward, nominated a. II.
Hall for chairman, and it was ratified.
In taking the chair Mr.. Hall pointed
with pride to the greatest congressional
district in the Union, and viewed with
alarm the fact that it was Democratic,
or at least represented by Democrat.
Then Frank w. SlOcum was chosen
secretary and William Philips assistant.
John Fisher, w. j. Nearson, w. q.
Nye, f. c. Detterly, George DAZZLE, J.
W. McAllister, A. P. Abel, L.
A. Newell. W. A. Smith, NJ. Higgins,
F. T. Wood and George Savage were
appointed a committee ON credentials
and took thirty minutes TO get the list
ready. While they were out the chair
suggested somebody fire the great
heart, and Capt. Hart was naturally
brought out. He made very earnest
speech, tinged with melancholy at the
thought of a Democrat representing
this district. f. q. Hay made humOr-
Gus speech. Frank Nye combination
effort and then the committee on ere
denuals reported. Then Oh motion of
4. J. Boardman the temporary organ
iZatiOn was made permanent.
f. II. Carleton moved the appoint
ment by the chair of a committee of
sixteen, one from each ward and three
from the county, TO appoint thirty-eight
delegates 10 the Anoka convention.
There was no objection to this. Speak
ers who, at the last convention, raised
procedure, were now placidly content.
With the understanding that the delega-
ton should be appOrtiOned according to
the representation of the several wards,
and that each ward should have at least
one delegate, the resolution prevailed.
The chair appointed the following COM
mittee by wards, the last three being
from the country: L. w .Backus. Lewis
PaulsOn, p. NJ. Hall, f. b. Hart, Charles
Robinson, Ii. E. LatZ, III. A. Gerrish,
j. E. Miner, NJ. Lynott. P. W. McAllis-
ter, W. Phillips, Ira Z. Newell, q. 5.
Grimes, o. F. Miller, d. Townsend and
L. F. Sampson. A. p. Abel wanted
the convention to take an hours recess,
his intention being to invite the party
out to lunch, but as he kept the latter
secret. and as the convention wanted to
get through at once, it declined and in
sisted on proceeding to a finish. The
committee retired and presently re-
ported the following list of delegates:
E.W. Backus, Lewis PaulsOn, Fred
B. Snyder, w. G. Nye, V. Truesdell, S.
o. Saborn. A. II. Hall, S. w. Melindy,
James McMullen, A. J. BOardmaa, John
a. Leech, F. c. Detterly, c. b. Heffel

lam Philips, H. B. Cramer, G. 5. Getz,

instructed the delegation to vote as
