the g. O. D. He seems to have forgotter

the &. o. p. He seems to have forgotten
that our new election law, which will
60 into effect at the next election, was
introduced by Democrat aud fought
through the legislature by the Dem
ocrats, with the aid of the members
elected by the labor vote and Farmers
alliance and few Republicans that
could not be whipped into line,
to oppose 1t. The party leaders did
their best to defeat the bill, and, after
they found it would probably pass, tried
to tack OIL amendments destroying it's
usefulness. The city council Of this
city, although overwhelmingly Repub-
lican at the time, voted down a PROPOSE
ton to reduce the size of the precincts,
so as to have but 400 voters, as pre-
scribed by this law, when the election
was held last spring, because this law
were therefore compelled to do
it. Although they knew a num-
Der of the precincts containing
what is known as the labor vote, con-
tanned from 1000 to 1900 voters, and
that most of these voters would be COM
PEELED to vote during the noon hour. 1t
is also known to be fact that a we'll
known Republican politician of this city
has, within the last two weeks, had this
bill examined by the best legal talent,
to see if some legal technicality could
not be found by which the next election
could be held under the old law, be-
cause under this new law, keeping
the polls open till z o'clock in the
evening would allow this labor vote to
all come in and, as he said, defeat the
ticket OF the G. o. p. 1t was also laugh
able to see the Republicans at the
convention yesterday indOrSing the
Australian plan of preserving the Sc
crecy of the ballot. when the clause in
the new election law which allows
none but the person voting to be within
forty feet of the polls on election day
was amended so as to read six days, on
the earnest solicitation of former Re-
publican senator from this county, who
claimed that, unless the change
was made, it would be impossible
to tell how a man voted. 1t is also well
known that buta few years ago a Re-
publican legislature passed a law to
cause the number OH the poll book OPP
pOSlte mans name to be marked on
his ticket, so that men having voters in
their employ could see how they voted,
but which law was declared uncOnstitu-
tional, or we would be labOring under
it yet. Is this the purity of the ballot
which the G. o. p. has been guarding
so long? If it is. what do they call
fraud? 1t is we'll to remember what
Hon. Freeman p. Lane said at the con-
ventiOn last Thursday: "Whenever you
hear . man alta convention shouting for
reform you can take it for granted that
he will bear watching.''

He would be quite dumb, he said, if
sense of the honor conferred in this
unanimous choice. He was Repub-
lican by choice and from convictiOn,an
not because of any associations OF tradi-
tons of the party. He told what good
party it was and how it expressed the
best thought of the best people of the
land. After few glittering generali-
ties, he said he was for no candidate but
the nominees, and urged action by every
club on the same principle. Down with

United this party would go to victory,
but division meant defeat. He ended
with an appeal for harmony and for CO.
operation.
On motion of Mr.. Stevens the election

floor and i'll serious manner impressed
the body with the necessity of care in
selecting this all important officer. He
moved to leave the selection of a Secre-
tary to the executive committee and to
proceed to elect vice presidents. r. G.
Evans made the point that William
Henry was out of order and Gen. Jenni-
son sustained him. at the same time de-
Tending the implied assault on the
ability and efficiency of BiXby. The
convention stood by Bixby and the
friends of the administration could not
insist, so BiXby was elected and re-
turned his thanks very neatly. The
various judicial districts got together
and finally reported the following names
for vice presidents and members of the
executive committee:

one sent up resolution extending sy IN

to the state convention, which dreW out
an eXpletive from Stevens, of Ramsey,
and sarcastic break from JenniSon, of
Red Wing, after which the resolutions
went through. OSburne, OF Ramsey,
muttered something about extending
sympathy to the prosecuted Jews of
Russia" but it did not reach the chair.
Here some one moved John Swift be
allowed ten minutes in which to explain
the Australian system of voting. John
was got upon the stage and brought
down the house by the announcement
that he knew nothing of it. He had in
troduced the resolution because Jack
McGaughey had given it to him. But
while he was there John made speech.
1t was very humorous, though uninten-
tiOnally SO. He wanted the negro in the
South given his rights and wanted
''these here Klu Kluxers" suppressed.
He called Fred Douglass the O'Connell
of America, and thought he was las
good as anybody, for if his skin
is black he can't help it,"
Swift spoke until everybody was
tired laughing, when j. c. Tawney,
of Winona, offered a resolution de-
nOuncing congress for falling to pass
the bill for the admission and division
of Dakota. Eugene Hay fired off a hot
speech in support of the resolution,
which was adopted, though dozens of
members said they opposed it. J.:H.
Parry, who has been wanting to be an
oil al
years, offered resolution of support of
the Republican press, which drew out a
sarcastic allusiOn to the Pioneer Press
from Van SAINT, of Winona. Another
delegate sent up a resolution about the
saloon in politics, but the convention
was getting tired and adjourned with
out hearing it.

Gill would not be renominated. He
said he was generally conceded to be a
lightweight and the only possible argu-
ment In favor of renominating him was
that it was customary to give a COVER
nor second term. 'But suppose we
should renominate him and then have
him defeated, what would become of
the custom then?"
Only one delegate to the convention
from the Fourth congressional district,
outside of Minneapolis, thought that
Loren Fletcher stood any show to be
elected to congress over Edmund Rice,
and this one delegate was not very con-
fident.

he had not been interviewed. He said
he had never uttered the sentiments

The executive committee of the State

rooms of the Union league. Timothy
E. Byrnes was elected chairman, after
which motion was made by M. D.
Mum. of Ramsey county. establishing
headquarters at st. Paul, because, as he
said, the politicians all gathered there,
Mr.. Byrnes said that the State league
had nothing to do with dead-beat poll
ticianS and office seekers, and that as
long as he had been elected president
of the league. and was expected to take
charge of it, he thought he should have
something to Say about where the head
quarters should be established, = and
there was no reason why they should 90
to st. Paul. He said if it was voted to
take them to st. Paul they must elect "a
new president, for he wanted the head
quarters where he could be present
every day. A vote was taken, and, Min
neapOlis was chosen by small major
ity. The proceedings of the convention
were ordered printed in full. and blanks
sent to the county organizer of
each county to have. the names
clubs in the county filled in. and re-
turned to the secretary of the state

man who had been with this movement
from its infancy, man who was a R3-

ground up and who would conduct che

apolfs. The applause was deafen-

time. Young Mr.. Sumner seconded
the nomination. On motion of Mr..

posts of manure to be made ON Bias

by which sickness is occasioned. His
resignation is demanded and he is Wig

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Talks With Politicians and Pick
Ups at the Convention.
If vote had been taken in the con-
ventiOn on their choice for governor
and only regularly elected delegates
been allowed to vote, the choice would
have been Will r. Merriam. but with
the aid of proxy delegates,i it would have
been for McGill. 1t seems little odd,
but it is fact nevertheless, that nearly
all the proxies were held by the friends
of McGill. The nomination of Bixby,
of Red Wing, for secretary of the State
league, called ont violent protest from
the McGill men, William Henry Har-
rison tried to get around it by
referring the matter to the executive
committee, but vote was called for,
and BiXby got there. This vote showed
them that the day was lost, and when
Lee, of Todd county, was nominated
for treasurer, he was elected without
opposition. q
G. F. Kindred, of Brainerd, was
among the arrivals at the Nicollet yes
terday, and was quite enthusiastic over
the large attendance at the convention.
He said some of the delegates from
Crow Wing county had said that The
was not a proper man to have charge
of the organization of clubs, in that
county, on account of his opposition to
McGill during the last election. He
said that if rule was adopted shutting
out all Republicans who had scratched
their tickets at past elections, that
Crow Wing county would be without
representation, and he is sure some of
the men who had criticised his APP
pOintment were no more fit to fill the
position than he was, under this same
rule.
Hon. Charles A. Gilman arrived in
the city yesterday, and was busily en-
gagged hObnobbing with the delegates in
attendance at the state convention. He
claimed to be out of the political swim
at the present time. but said he took an
interest in political matters from force
of habit, and not because he had fish to
fry. The Fifth district, he said, would
hold the balance of power in the next
state convention and also in the coming
election. He was silent on the question
of governor, but said whoever was NOM
mated by the Republicans would be
elected. He said that there was unus-
ual actiqity in political circles in Stearns
county, and the organization among the
Republicans next fall would be perfect,
