Yesterdays convention of the Henne-
pin county Democrats was another ex-
ample of what the Democracy of Min
neapolis and Hennepin county can do
when they are united and working for
the good of the party, instead of its sew
eral leaders thinking wholly of self. 1t
was, with scarcely an exception. the
most orderly convention ever held in
the county. There was tremendous
amount of work to be done, but it was
all done, and done well and RAPIDLY
so rapidly that the convention
had adjourned at z o'clock
in the evening, after having
put in the field as good ticket as was
ever nominated by any party. The
rapidity with which the convention
worked was evidence that there was no
friction. To the efforts of Z. M. Foote,
the chairman, was due a good deal of
the SmOothneSs of the conventions de-
liberations. He was quick, always
working, prompt III ruling and in putting
motions, and maintained as good order
as could be secured in any convention.
The only delay of the day was in the
morning. The delegates did not find
their seats by wards, villages and towns
until nnarlu n,nInOK whnn p r
Winston raped for order and an
nounced that a temporary chair
man must be selected. There was
but one voice in the hall. and that was
for G. NJ. Forte, so he of the handsome
whiskers modestly sought the platform,
being compelled to wait there until the
cheers had subsidized before thanking
the delegates for the honor. w. H.
Trip was made secretary. and p. b.
Winston, on motion of M. w. Glenn,
was invited to sit upon the platform.
That much settled, the following COM
mittee on credentials was appointed:
First ward, A P. Weber; Second, B. Dav-
export; Third o. II. Erickson; Fourth, H.
Paige; Fifth, Thomas Scott: Sixth, A. Sundy;
Seventh, j. c. Mccall; Eighth, Charles E.
Woodford; Ninth, Matt Bredemus; Tenth,
Ezra b. Ames; Eleventh. William ". Hotch-
kiss; Twelfth, S. A. Stockwell: Thirteenth,
Joseph II. Brouilette; county, E. Barnes,
John Egan.
The convention took a recess pending
the preparation of the credentials COM
mittee. after the chairman had an
nounced that conference Of the Ger
man-American delegates had been
called in the gallery. The proposed
conference was for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon some candidates for county
Afia hut RI n nc &c
soon learned that the credentials COM
mittee could not report for fully an
hour, so the convention adjourned until
80. the German-American delegates
seeking solace in pretzel, and forget
ting politics for the time being.
In the Afternoon.
The delegates were not slow in assem-
bling in the afternoon. and at 1856 the
! chairman pounded for order. The re-
port of the credentials committee was
ready and was read by S. A. Stockwell
chairman of the committee. AS antici-
pated, there were no contests, though
several precincts were not represented.
w. b. Anderson, from the Third pre-
cinct of the Eighth; Mike Aiken, from
Greenwood: Edward Aiken, from Day
ton; T. j. Tibbetts, from WayZata; Z.
Erickson and j. GroSbud, from Mime
tonka, were elected to fill vacancies.
Corrections were also made in the Third
of the Sixth, and the Second of the
Eighth.
When the report of the committee on
credentials had been accepted, Ed
Stevens bobbed up as serenely as if
there never had been census war, and
piped:
|. ''Mr. Chairmanw
"Mr. Stevens"
"The last ten minutes have demon
strated that the present officers are the
right men in the right place. | move
that the temporary organization be
made permanent"
With whoop of satisfaction the mo-
ton was carried without dissent, Foote
bowling his thanks and remarking,
This is no time for speeches. Let US
| get to work"
Col. Glenn thereupon moved that a
committee of one from each ward, two
from the country and three at large be
| appointed by the chair to select the
siXty-four delegates to the state and the
! fifty-eight to the congressional conven-
tons. in order that business might
be expedited. The motion was carried.
| Something had to be done in regard to
the delegates to the judicial conven-
ton. the number of which the county
| is entitled to has not yet been decided.
| George Jacoby moved that a committee
of one from each ward, two from the
| country and three at large. as before,
be appointed, whose duty it shall be to
