"Nor I; but forgetting is one thing and for

street, she put on her cloak and hat and

Flynn, of Morrison, moved that no
persons except officials, newspaper men
and ladies be upon the platform while
the ballot was being taken.
This was quieted with shouts of

Eventually the convention assumed
something like decorum, and Capt.
Castle was allowed to raise his question
of privilege. which was this:
There are $50 votes in this convention.

The motion was laid on the table by
vote of 246 to 200.
This victory for the Merriam men was
secured by Gilman aiding them to de-
feat the McGill move. Just after the
result was announced Sam Peterson, of
Brown. slipped up to young Gilman and
whispered.
''How does that suit you?"
"First vote" replied the junior, II

The Gilman delegates voted almost
solidly with Merriam.

showed further Merriam gains.

The ballot had progressed to the call
for Lincoln county when Mr.. Grimshaw
shouted:
"Hennepin county will vote for the nomi-
nation of e. A. Gilman" Cheers.]
The Hennepin delegation had been
out caucusing. The loss to McGill on
the third formal ballot had convinced
them that McGill was beaten. The gov
ernor's best friends conceded that, and
only asked now that what strength he
had left be used to secure the nOmina-

and his friends.
In their caucus the Hennepin dele

Gill. A vote was then taken, which
stood "a for G. A. Gilman and 4 for w.

Standing thus the delegation came
back to the floor and so voted. Among
those voting for Braden was eX-Gov.

This was aSSented to.
A. Barto, of Stearns, rose in the body
of delegates to speak, but was shouted
to. to mount to the platform. This he
eventually did, and said:
The first two positions named in the call

Republicans. can place the judiciary ever

of this convention for chief justice of the

The nominations were made unani-
mously.
The Chairman-The next business is the
nomination of candidates for governor.
Little notice was taken of this, the
delegates engaging in general cOnversa-
ton.
G. A. Hammandson, of Nicollet, sug-
gested, as most of the speakers ex-
hausted themselves Wednesday, that
the ballot for governor should be pro-
ceeded with.
Loud cries of No! Nor'

that the nominating speeches be limited

Mr.. Baker dilated upon the fact that
his nominee was typical Minnesotian,
having been reared under its skies and
brought up on its porridge. He was the
very impersonation of the state, and
possessed transcendant executive ablli-
ties. If nominated. they would not be
waiting three weeks after the poll to
find out who was governor. Cheers.
A. Barto, of Stearns, also supported
Mr.. Merriam's nomination, because he
was man who combined not only the
wisdom of the old man, but the nerve
and pluck and energy of the young man.
Loud cheers.
