AFTER THE CONVENTION.

An error crept into the GLOBES re-
port of the convention yesterday in re-
gard to the little bout in the Hennepin
delegation. 1t was c. NJ. Foote instead
of Titus Mareck who had the round
with Orville Rinehart. Mareck had
stated the instructions the county con-
ventiOn had given the delegation, and
Chairman DOran had given the action
of the state committee on the
question of the unit rule, when
not compelled to 60 to the
state committee for information on that
point. He gave the vote of the delega-
ton as twenty-four for Durant, when
Orville Rinehart, with his pink cheeks
atiame and his dark eyes flashing forked
lightning, swung his SLOUGH hat and ex-
claimed: Its lie!" FOote muttered:
"Away, slight manv and went on with
his speech. When the convention adj
JOurned FOote and Rinehart met and
buried all unkindness in a foam
ing tankard of st. Paul water.
There is difference of opinion
among the delegation as to how
it actually stood and the figures range
from % to "a as indicating the Ames
strength. The Ames contingent has
been very warm about the collar ever
since it was first disputed that Ames
had the delegation. They claim that in
the county convention they had 175 of
the 219 delegates, and could have sent
straight delegation to St. Paul, but
they preferred to distribute the honors
among all factions and thus permitted
Glenn, Rinehart and other anti-Ames
men to get on the delegation. They are
OF the opinion that generosity in politics
does not go.
Mayor Ames said yesterday that he
felt very much satisfied with the result,
and did not feel like claiming too much.
Il merely asked vindication," he
said, ''and l certainly got that. If a
personal attack had not been made. and
personal defiance given me, | should
not have been there, but under the
circumstances l felt not only justified
but impelled to go before the people.
Mr.. DOran made the issue that | should
not be elected. l never made such a
threat as that against him. The party
may Judge for itself of the results. l
intend calling the delegation together
in few days to select a chairman. ANY
member has the right to call such
meeting, and l am assuming nothing in
doing So"
On Thursday night, p. B. Winston
celebrated his election as district dele
gate, by little party to his friends and
the Hennepin delegation. The latter
were all Ames men, with the exception
| of E. M. Wilson, who was as welcome
as any and who, indeed, is the one man
who has retained the respect and esteem
of all sides and factions. f. w. Durant,
of Saltwater, E. q. Polk, of Brown, and
Mr.. Doran, of Duluth, were there and
participated in the love feast, Mayor
Ames coming in later. A. j. Blethen
was also present and in conversation
remarked he was not such bad Demo-
crat himself. MI. Winston presided and
general good time was had until the
last train left for Minneapolis.

The position of Col. Glenn is rather
singular one as regards Mr.. Doran.
was searching his vocabulary of epithets
for suitable terms to express his detest-
alton of the sage of LIE Sueur, and it
was then he coined his now famous APP
pellation 'pistOlOnious ghost" Glenn
was red hot after the postoffice, and had
gotten out petition as long as the
moral law, covered with the sig
natures of most of the prominent
Democratic workers of the city.
lie got the promise OF Z. ii.
Kelly to support him, and he believes
Kelly dealt fairly and honestly by him;
but with Doran he could make no head
way. John c. Oswald had the promise
of Doran to support John j. Ankeny,
and the latter got the plum, while Glenn
exhausted his surplus energy in anath-
ematiZing DOran. After this it wa
somewhat amusing to see Glenn and
DOran hand in glove in the fight against
AmeS. 1t is not that Glenn loves Doran,
but that he hates Ames more.

A. T. Ankeney was very indignant
when his delegation refused to stand by
Wilson, and he predicted it would suffer
by it. He had hardly lost this indigna-
ton yesterday, though he expressed
himself as pleased with the fact that
the convention had wound up it's work
and adjourned without single squab-
bic.
