Special 10 the Globe.
FARGO. Dak.. Aug. 23.-This was the
last day of the Republican convention.
The convention assembled promptly at
10 this morning, notwithstanding it was
nearly o'clock before Armory hall
was deserted by the delegates at last
nights session. There was marked
falling off in the number of spectators.
owing, probably. to the intense disgust
entertained by those witnessing the
pandemonium proceedings of yesterday.
After a little coaxing on the part OF
Chairman johnson, the convention was
finally gotten in order, and proceeded
to complete the ticket. II. J. Helgesen,
of Cavalier, was decided upon for COM
missioner of labor and agriculture. Mr..
Helgeson is of Scandinavian origin, and
an alleged leader of that nationality III
Mr.. Helgeson made an address of con-
dolence of pith and enthusiasm. and
probably to the point. For commls.
gloner of insurance, 0. l.. Carey, OF
Cass, was recognized as man i'll every
way capable of coping with the many
trying circumstances surrounding this
office, Besides, he was good man to
have on the ticket to hold the railroad
vote, having been conductor on the
Northern Pacific for number of years.
Besides. he is credited with being the
author of the famous per cent
INSURANCE TAX BILL
of the last legislature. AT this point OF
the proceedings there was depression
from the regular routine business, and
the chairman explained his striking
attitudes behind the desk by stating
that the chair in which he was sitting
was the same one in which Gen. Grant
sat when Gen. Lee surrendered his
army. After this incident had been
fully and freely commented upon and
Gen. Capehart congratulated upon
being posseSsor of the relic, vote was
taken for railroad commissioners.
George S. Montgomery, of. Sergeant,
and T. S. Underhil1, of Stark, were de-
clared nominated, but the third mem
Der could not readily be determined
upon. Balloting proceeded for another
hour or so, and finally d. Bartlett,
of Griggs, was given the plum.
Mr.. Montgomery IS listed as flourish
Ing attorney at his place OF residence in
Sergeant county, and as being fully
capable of holding down his end OF the
commission. Mr.. Montgomery is a
dealer in blooded stock. Bartlett, of
Griggs, is lawyer. After the char
had been sustained in its decision that
Bartlett had honestly been elected
chairman, kneeshaw introduced the
platform After this had been
INDORSED AND ORDERED SPREAD
upon the minutes, the following was as
greedily seized upon and ordered NOR
tiSed into the structure:
Resolved, That we, the Republicans of the
new state of North Dakota, in convention
assembled do hereby respectfully urge the
location of the worlds fair at Chicago i'll
1892, and recommend to our delegates soon
to occupy seats in the national halls OF con-
gress to use their influence to secure the said
location, believing it to be a deserving recog-
milton of American enterprise, and an estim-
able flctor III developing North Dakota and
the new Northwest.
After this had been engrafted para
graph was introduced STIMULATING that
the watehword of the G. 0. p. should
be economy, and it was adopted. After
appointing committee of seven to Sc
lect member from each senatorial dis
trict to form an aggregation, the whole
to act as state central committee, the
Republican state convention adjourned
sine die.
