Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, July 2S.-The Democratic
county convention this morning elected
mixed delegation to the state conven-
ton to be held at st. Paul. Of the four
teen delegates it may be safely said that
nine are for Eugene Wilson, while
Albert Scheffer'S friends probably num-
Der five. The result of this cOnglOmer
atl0n was the outcome of we'll defined
scheme to down Ames, and it cannot be
SAID that there was any particular
scramble for delegates between the re-
spective friends of Wilson and Schetfer.
The country was well represented, and
the farmers that attended took an equal
hand with the city delegates in bring
ing about the result. The convention
was called to order shortly after IL
O'Clock by Ralph Metcalf, member of
the county committee, in the absence OF
George Hamilton, the chairman of the
committee.
Hon. I'll. w. Lambe4on was nomi-
mated for chairman. Frank L. Randall
was also nominated, but there was no
second, and on viva voce vote Mr..
Lamberton was declared elected. This
was black eye at outset for the other
side, and Mr.. ReuSS called for a di-
vision of the house. Frank l.. Randall
and James Hughes spoke for harmony
and against division of the house,
and the presiding officer refused to en-
tertaln the request for division of the
vote.
Mr.. Lamberton was called to the
chair and was greeted with applause
whom hn hot Ii Il
met to select fourteen delegates to the
state convention at st. Paul, which is
to name the next governor of Mime
Sota," and the applause again burst
1Ortn. 1T has also met to elect twenty
one delegates to the district convention
at Rochester, which is to name the con-
gresham from the First district of Min
pesota, Hon. Thomas Wilson" Frank

lZlng attendants present from out of

SpectlVe townships, and on motion of

Ihe committee on credentials reported
the names OF forty-two delegates, repre-
Sentlng the towns of st. Charles, Dres-
bach, RollingStone, Warren, Fremont
and Stockton and WinOna City as enti-
tied to seats in the convention. A
motion for the chair to appoint a COM
mittee OF five to select fourteen dele
gates to the state convention was
promptly met by an amendment, by Mr..
ReuSS, that the convention proceed to
ballot for eight delegates, but the chair
did not hear a second to Mr.. Reuss'
amendment, although the latter pro-
tested that there had been one, and the
original motion went through with a
rush. Mr.. ReuSS asked that it be put
upon the records of the convention that
the chair had refused to recognize his
amendment. The chairman assured
his it would be done, and proceeded to
name the following committee to select
| delegates to the state convention: B.
