SUMMARY.
THESE ARE CHIEFTAINs.
Some of the Prominent Ones il
the Democratic POxy.WOw.


E. c. Stringer, chairman of the Ia
kota county convention, is the old chair
man of the central committee of the
Third district, and comes up with a
solid delegation for himself as district
delegate to st. Louis. He is coming
Democratic light.
W. p. Christensen, of Redwood, is the
eX-land officer whom MeSSrS. Doran and
Kelly sat down on hard. He naturally
is for AmeS.
Nor ton S. Wilkinson, of Wells, when
he reaches the convention will be the
Second districts nominee for congress
on the Democratic ticket.
Henry r. Wells, from Preston, is a
member of the state central committee
and prominent in state charitable
works.
Everybody will he glad to see the face
of Senator Peter Nelson in the conven-
ton. His old health is coming back to
him.
John Frank. of Mower. was the Dem
ocratic candidate for lieutenant gov
ernOr in 1856, and ran like buck.
A. j. Lamberton, of st. Phter, has
been conspicuous in Democratic coun-
ellis for these many years.
o. NJ. Hall, of he Goodhue delega-
tiOn, is just about as bright Democrat
as Minnesota has.
Tom Kurtz, of Moorhead, is a bright
lawyer of the Fifth district, and wants
to go to st. Louis.
P. j. Smalley, of Caledonia, is a re-
cent convert to the Democratic princi-
piles of Cleveland.
John S. Tripp, of Rice, is a red-hot
tariff reformer and said to be quite sour
George A. Du Toit, of Carver, has
figured prominently in Third district
politics.

The two state conventions of this
Week-Republican and Democratic
have each contest on hand, involving
party harmony and issues that must
certainly be raised in the later state
conventions. Of the two parties the
Democratic will assemble i'll a more
harmonious spirit, for the strife within
its ranks has settled down to personal
difference between two gentlemen,
which can not in the end create pow
erful schism. The Republicans are less
fortunately situated, having half a
dozen gubernatorial candidates to con-
troll, and confronted with the discordant
elements of 1856, and powerful pro-
ve-tariff-Blaine faction. How
ever their convention ends it will be
with old sores unhealed and the bad
feeling of to-day intensified. The two
conventions combined will contain over
200 delegates. and with the alternates to
be present will bring into St. Paul over
1000 state politicians. The Republican
convention meets Wednesday, May Ii,
and the Democratic Thursday, MAY IL.

Special to the Globe.
NORRIS, May 13.-At the Democratic
county convention, held in this village
Saturday, the following were nominated
as delegates to the state convention:
Georg NJ. Gilman, John Maginnis and
III. Bragg. The following resolutions
were adopted: Resolved, That the DEM
OcratS of Stevens county unqUalltiedly
indorse the administration of President
Cleveland and his views Oh the revision
and amendment of a vicious and in
equitable tariff, believing that the eX-
action of greater share of the fruits of
industry and enterprise than is called
for by a careful and economic mainte
nance of the government is ''indefensi-
BILE eXtOrtion and culpable betrayal of
American fairness and juStice:" that
we call halt OH the present system of
protection to mOnOpOlieS to which
ahe national Republican party is
pledged, WITCH, needlesSly boarding
millions of money in the public treas
ury, invites eXtravagant expenditure
and schemes of public plunder. That
we commend the attitude of our repre-
sentative in congress, Hon. Knute Mel
son, at variance as it is with the obstruc
tive policy of his party, in favor of free
raw materials and the necessaries of
life to poor and rich alike. That we
counsel the SubordinatiOn of any pei
sOnal OF local predilection to the general
good of the party in Minnesota, hopeful
in such event of glorious result at the
approaching important election" After
the convention tariff reform club was
organized.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-At II o'clock YES
terday morning the; levee situated
south of Alexandria. Mo-, broke in sew
eral places. and vast volume of water
began pouring into the town, which was
completely inundated. A spasmodic at
tempt was made to check the irresistible
flood, but within few minutes the
laborers quit and accepted the
inevitable. 1t required less than
an hour to inundate the en-
tire town, which is covered with water
from twu to six feet, submerging almost
every foot of ground. Water having
reached half of the houses, their occu-
pants have sought refuge in the upper
stories of buildings, where they will be
imprisoned until the subsidence OF the
flood in the main streets. The water is
fully three feet deep, circumscribing
the movements of the population
and rendering transportation from
one point to another possible
only by means of skiffs or rudely con-
structed RATS. Sidewalks are over
flowed, and skiffs are landed in the door
ways of private residences. Business
no loss of life nor great damage to prop
erty within the town. At this point the
Mississippi is fully seven miles wide,
and within the range of vision one vast
eXpanse of water greetS the eye. The
area of farming land in the Missouri
bottoms that is submerged is
ESTIMATED AT $4,000 ACRES,
and continuance Of the flood will re-
suit in an approximate loss to the farm
ing community of that region of at least
100000. A high wind is prevailing to-
day, which caused the waves to wash
openings in the Warsaw levee. which
affords protection to some 10000 acres
of fertile land. The report which
reached the city that the levee had

Advices from the Red river country re-
port that the damage done to the in
habitants of the Red river valley dur
the past ten days is almost beyond
computation, gud the overflow the
largest since 1S43. Most of the planta-
tionS near the river have been
covered with water four to six
feet deep, and many miles of
fencing, cribs and barns have
been washed down an d carried away,
Many of the people have lost their
household furniture, provisions and
corn. In several places the water eX-
tended from the hills of Arkansas to the
hills of Texas, a distance of ten to four
teen miles. At West Norwood negro
was drowned yesterday trying to swim
from the overflow. Two white men
were drowned in Mill Creek and quite
a number of other deaths are reported,
but names not given. Planting in the
bottoms will all have to be done over
again.

GLENwooD, May 13.-1he Democratic
convention of Pope county was held at
the court house in the village of Glen
wood on the 18th day of May. Thomas
w. Brown and Ole GilbertsOn were
elected delegates to attend the state
convention. The following resolutions
were adopted unanimously:
Whereas, we believe the time has
come when the farmers and the labor
ing men, to save themselves from abso-
lutte slavery TO the monopolist and
moneyed aristocracy, should make bold
stand for their rights, and as we believe
the existing high protective tariff is one
of the means by which they have the
power to form trusts and combinations
to Oppress the poor for the benefit of the
rich; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we hartily indorse the
tariff reform views of President Cleye-
land as enunciated in his late annual
message to congress, which we believe
to be conducive to the welfare and
prosperity of the whole country: that
the taxing of the many for the benefit
of the few is, to say the least, unjust:
that the duties on raw materials used
in manufactures should be removed:
that the duties upon all articles of
necessity used by those who are the
least able to bear the burdens of taxa
ton should be greatly reduced; and
that the duties upon all articles upon
which SO-called trusts and combinations
are being formed should be at once
placed OH the free list. Resolved fur
ther, That we indorse the manly, indie
pendent stand taken by Hon. Knute.
