TIE RUMP CONVENTION.

eff Turner is not nominated at
Towner, We will bolt the convention
and run him anyhow" was the re-
mark of one Of the rs gang after
the adjournment of the late republic
can county convention, and with this
intention and in this spirit the afore-
SAID gang, finding that in the conven-
ton regularly called they were likely
to be beaten, violated every principle
of honor, decency and political usage,
and in the expressive language Of a
delegate from Bottineau "sueaked
off" and organized a boilers conven-
ton, a rump. This was the fact Of
the case, Notwithstanding overtures
were made to divide up the delega-
tons from Bottineau and give to each
an equal share, which proposition
was fair and was believed by the
county treasurer and Others to be tar
and just, but so intense was the feel
ing, that even at the sacrifice of the
party, the gang determined to force
Turner down the throats of the con-
vention or "bust the whole business"
This latter was accomplished in the
manner above stated. The Bottineau
republican delegation with a small
contingent from Ward county, with
out any authority and in defiance of
the spirit which above all things
should have animated men in the
matter Of delegates to frame a consti.
tuition for a great state, viz: non.par-
tisanship, selected the Reverend
Ezra Turner along with a person
named Cotton from Ward county to
carry the political black flag in the
coming election.

PET NAMES.

Parasite, wolf in sleeps clothing,
snake, double-dyed schemer"-these
are the words Of the editor of the
Free Lance in September last, ap.
piled to the Rev. Ezra Turner. II
what j. 3. Sinclair said of Ezra Tur-
ner last fall were true then, it is true
now, and the man whose character is
such as was then described is certainly
unworthy of the confidence of the
community and he should be defeated.
We have no personal interest in his
election or defeat, but if the honor
and welfare Of the people are to be
subssrved, no such man as Turner
should be allowed to foist himself up.
on the people especially for such an
office as that which enables him to
take part in the framing of a constitu-
tuition. His acts are we'll known
and there needs no Free Lance come
from it's grave to tell US what they
are, but not to be derelict in what
some might regard as a duty, we
quote from the Free Lance such pet
names as were applied by its chief ed
itor to the reverend schemer in its
issue of September %, 1888: "Tur-
ner, you lie! you lie!" eff Turner
has lied, as he has been known to do
before, let him be made to suffer for
it." "He has already created enough
trouble in this county by his unruly
member" In the same issue com.
menting on the Turner-C oulthard
convention at the McBrayen hotel,
the publication of whose proceedings
was denied the press, occurs the fol
lowing choice language: "No need
of a paper where he (Turner) is; he
IS better qualified to Nacken a mans CHAR
acter IN a %nrinute, than q paper could IN
q gear. In its issue of October 6,

impose upon the people of Bottineau

is contemplated In the alliance of
such men as we have presented, which

THE UNION CONVENTION.

Pursuant to call the representatives
of both political parties in the Fourth
constitutional district, gathered at
Iowner on Saturday last. Most of
the delegates had started the evening
previous so as to be early on the
ground as considerable fine political
work was expected. The "Turner-
Stewart gang" which might now
be called the Turner Stewart. Sinclair
gang was out in full force, but, as the
result showed, petered out most miser-
ably-(See proceedings Of the rump
convention).
After being duly called to order
the convention chose Mr.. James M.
Pendroy, of McHenryc county, chair
man, and Mr.. d. H. Thomas, of
Pierce county, secretary. The Gre
dental committee reported one set Of
deiegates-no contests--and after a
short recess the convention proceeded
to the nomination of candidates for
delegates to the constitutional con-
vention. Judge Welcome of Ward
