ALBERT LEA, Minn., July 2S.-The
Democratic county convention to-day
was very significant event. Every
town in the county except one was rep
resented, and the deliberations were
characterized by much earnestness and
enthusiasm. The following delegates
were elected to the congressional con-
vention: Thomas Purcell, John Ander-
son, w. S. Krebs, J. p. Greene, A. G.,
Voigt, John Graham and Fred G. Ben
nett. The delegates to the state con-
vention are as follows: ID. n. Gates,
John Heron, Hans Grinager and Adam
Wiegand. The delegation is believed
to be solid in favor of Albert Scheffer.
A resolution strongly indorsing the
course of Judge Wilson was adopted,
and proceedings closed
WITH ROUSING SPEECHES
by Judge Stacy, II. n. Lane and others.
G. w. Levens, county superintendent,
being present, was repeatedly called on
for speech. He finally responded, at
firming that he maintained his princi-
Piles as Republican, but that on the
tariff question the party had receded :;
that he was yet an earnest tariff re-
former. and considered that the main
issue before the country. He said he
supported Judge Wilson against Lovely
two years ago, believing Judge Wilson
to be the better man, and that he was
not disappointed. He indorsed his
record. The delegates to the congress
sional convention are all earnestly in
favor of the denomination of Judge

PIPEsToNE, Minn., July "a. - The
Democratic county convention this aft
ernoon was largely attended, all but
three townships being represented. A.
j. B1gelow was chairman Of the con-
Yention and G. T. Sherwin secretary.
George ID. Dadd and A. Sepler were
elected delegates to attend the state
convention at st. Paul. The delegates
go uninstructed. No expression of the
convention could be obtained, as most
of the delegates were unable to
name their choice for gov
ernor. The state delegates say
they will vote for the man who
they think will poll the largest vote,
but they cannot name their man yet.
E. Van Tassell and James DeverauX
were elected delegates to the congress
sional convention, and Dayton Ladue
and 81. A. Hoyte delegates to the repre-
sentative's convention. None of these
delegates were instructed. A county
central committee was elected as fol-
lows: Christ Hegar, chairman; Day
ton Ladue, Aseehter J. Harrison, o. T..
Gilser. Cleveland's administration
seems to suit the delegates Of the
county to a man.

"sTONEWALL" JACKSON.
Where Did the Famous Confeder.

Where Did the Famous Confeder-
ate General Get His Title?
Philadelphia Times.
After an anecdote of celebrated per-
son has passed into history it is a rash
thing to write about it with a view
either of changing its form or of cor
recting false impressions concerning it.
Nevertheless, l venture to offer a sug-
gestion respecting the famous title of
Gen. L. j. JacksOn-'Stonewall."
1t is well known by those who were
with Col. Bee that when describing the
resOlute stand made by jackson at the
first Bull Run fight he did not use the
words ,'stone wall" but said ''stone
fence" but it is currently believed that
Bee had in his mind the idea of a.swall''
or rampant" dead, inactive thing,
which stood in the way of assault as a
stone stands in the way of the current
of a stream, but does nothing positive of
itself-only lnertly obStructs. This idea
was, believe, not the one in Bees
mind, and for this reason:
There was for many years prior to the
war, and may be yet. in North and
South Carolina, famous breed of game
cocks known as the s'St0ne fence" breed,
which never faild to win their fights OF
to die in the struggle. None was ever
known to abandon the contest until his
opponent was beaten. They might die,
but they never would yield. Nor were
they ever known to be unwilling or un-
ready to engage in fight. Now, when
Bee saw Jackson making so bold and so
active a resistance to the fierce assaults
of the federals, the thought of the gal
liant game cocks instantly came into his
mind, and he made the famous compari-
son. 1t was to these active, resolute,
impetuOus birds-untiinching in courage
and untiring in effOrt-that Jackson was
likened, and his after career proved
that the comparison was not inapt.
