From O'Clock until nearly the >le-
gates sat patiently in their seats ave- til 9
the report of the credentials comm ;s.
When the result of the Ramsey
county contest was made known
Judge Flandrau, the head of the
defeated delegation took the foor
and said: 81 see by the report that we
are ruled out. The report of the COM
mittee has been largely made, I think, on
the basis of harmony. I want to say
that in the interest of harmony we will
accept, and will not appeal to the con-
vention from that report. On behalf of
the delegation ruled out, am proud to
say that, rain or shine, hot or cold, we
will be found in the ranks working for
the success of the ticket nominated"
The report of the committee on perma-
nent organization was that the tempo
rary organization be made permanent,
with the addition of placing John Corco-
ran and d. w. Hoard as assistant secre-
taries. They presented a list of vice
presidents, headed by John Ludwig, of
Winona; A. A. Ames, of Minneapolis,
and Henry Poehler, of Henderson. The
report was adopted.
P. J. Smalley, for the committee on
resolutions, presented the platform. The
platform was unanimously adopted.
Several futile attempts to force an ad-
journment until morning were made.
1t was nearing + O'Clock when nominal
lions for governor were called for by the
chair. Judge Barrett, of Ramsey, pre-
sented the name of A. A. Ames, of Min
neapolis,
Mr.. Rawson, of Otter Tail county, Sec
onded the nomination of DR.. Ames.
J. N. Castle, of Washington, pre-
sented the name of Eugene NJ. Wilson,
of Hennepin county.
The call of the counties on the nomi-
nation of governor was orderly and done
in short time. 1t resulted: Wilson, 223;
Ames, 1876. Eugene NJ. Wilson was de-
clared the nominee of the convention,
and on motion of Lac qui Parle county
his selection was made unanimous.
Senator Bownen moved that when the
convention selected the state central
committee it be by judicial districts, and
that after tho committee had been 50 Sc
lected it should elect it's own chairman
This was promptly seconded by Judge
Barrett, but Chairman Lamberton would
nor and did not put the motion.
E. G. Gridley, of Lake, said:
"This is made to handicap the candi-
dates and made by those who have re-
sisted them here all of this day. If we
have nominated Mr.. Wilson to elect him
[Cries of "Neverr1 then do not let this
motion prevail. [Cries of "Let Ne and
Mike rule" "Give it to Doran,n Kisses
and groans.
J. T. Byrnes, of Hennepin:
1.-THE object of this motion is to take
away power from the men who have
ruined the party. Away from the man
who sits there pointing his finger to
where Kelly sat) and Is not delegate to
this convention. What authority had
that man to 60 before the committee on
credentials and give advice? What au-
thority had you Mr.. Chairman, to ignore
the minority in this convention in ap
pointing the committee On creden-
tails? ''If you ignore this motion the
ticket is gone from head to tail.u
Bedlam reigned. A motion to ad iourn
was made and roll call demanded. The
chair refused to put the Bowen motion.
His decision was appealed from, but he
