Illegal one, owing to WinOna county
casting one more vote than she was en-
titled to. Twenty-third ballot:

The claims of the Dunnellites as to
a gain of strength were verified, and
they cheered as the ballot was an

Cheers for Dr. Leonard brought him
to his feet with characteristic speech.
He declined to be considered as CAN
didate, and said that he wished for no
secondhand nomination, rendered him
not because he was the best candidate,
but for the apparent reason that no one
else cared to be nominated. please eX-

Dunnell was nominated. The vote
was announced with the clapping of
hands, but not the most absolute har-
mony. Before the chairman pro-
nounced Mr.. Dunnell the nominee
John 4. Lovely and half dozen of the
Freeborn delegates, with one or two
others rose, and
LEFT THE HALL.
Dodge, Winona, Mower and Steele
counties, with Fillmore, all seconded
the motion to make DunnelPs nOmina-
ton unanimous. The chairman was
authorized to appoint congressional
committee for the campaign, and also a
committee to notify Dunnell of his
nomination. Hon. James O'Brien was
invited to address the convention, and
he did so, cOnfining himself to a stereo-
typed TRADE on the Democracy and
eulogium of the Republican
party. The significant point of
what Mr.. O'Brien said was that he un-
Qualifiedly indorsed the Chicago plat
form, and was cheered and cheered
again by the convention. He is so
anceS undoubtedly give the key to the
Republican campaign to be made in this
district. 1t is high taxation for them
first and last.
Mr.. O'Brien paid very high compli-
ment to Judge Wilson's ability and
DANGEROUS QUALITIES
as a candidate. He urged the delegates
to seek harmony and work together, for
the battle to be fought was no easy one.
1t would tax every energy of the party
to carry the district under any circum-
stances.
''We must forget past differences" !"
announced Mr.. O'Brien, and his eye
fell upon the vacant seats of the Free
born delegation. "Forgive and forget"
he cried, but no one applauded. with
all his faults" he said, "Mr. Dunnell is
the strongest man we could have NOM
mated. He won't act as our candidate
did in his innocence two years ago."
Thomas Simpson, of Winona, con-
graduated the convention on the result

Jority. He conceded Wilson's great
Strength but believed that he could be
defeated. He is a pure, undefiled
Democrat, and no one can now be de-
ceived by the pretense that he is a Re-
publican" declared Mr.. Simpson, and
then with tact turned and taffied Mullen.
Sinclair, Conkey and Leonard as men
who could have been elected if nomi-
mated Mr.. Simpson waved the bloody
shirt vigorously,
BE-SPATTERING
the convention with gore and gaining
some cheap applause. ''Stand by your
guns" shrieked Thomas, land show
the rebel brigadiers where we stand"
Il was not in favor OF this nomina-
tion," said NJ. B. Weber, of Winona,
''but / have always supported the nomi-
nee of Republican convention, and l
will take Off my coat and work.
The chairman announced as the COM
mittee to notify Dunnell of his nomina-
tion. Z. q. Edwards, James O'Brien, W.
II. Yale. n. Kingsley, w. Ii. Feller.
On Mr.. Yale's declining, owing to lack
of time, NJ. B. Weber took his place.
Three cheers were given and the con-
Vention adjourned. Chairman French,
after adjournment, announced the fol
lowing congressional committee for
the campaign:

If the success of the nomination is to
be Judged by what has been said here
to-day since the end of the convention,
Mr.. DunnelPs defeat is to be expected
1t required forty votes to nominate and
forty

doubtful compliment at the least. In
the convention his candidacy was not
backed by the young and vigorous
blood of the district. The old politi.
