reporters, said that L would consent

cratic nomination for governor, if q

scramble among the delegates for it.
l had received such assurances upon

such result would be probable. But
it seems that if l remain in the field as
a candidate, there may arise feelings,
engendered by an eager contest for the
position which may. in some degree, at

therefore withdraw my name as can

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Everything Runs Along

Smoothly as Clock Work..
At 2:40Chairman Merriman raped for
order and the delegates noisily sought
their seats, while the chairman an
nounced that the credentials committee
was not yet ready to report and could
not tell when they would be able to re-
port. Reports continued to arrive from
the credentials committee at intervals
of from three to five minutes that the
committee was almost ready to report.
When about twenty minutes had thus
been frittered away. Hon. E. w. Du-
rant, of Saltwater, who chanced to be
present, was called upon for speech.
MIR. Dnrant'S address was a general dis
cussiOn of the Democratic situation in
Minneapolis, in the state and in the
country at large. Reference to Cleve-
land was greeted with tumultuous ap-
plause. He spoke for about fifteen
minutes, during which the party was
advised to support the candidate, who
ever he might be.
The committee on credentials was
finally ready to report, which was done
at the conclusion of Durant'S speech.
There was a kick from the Thirteenth
precinct of the Third ward on the dele

made permanent. The proposition was
seconded from all parts of the hall. Da-
RUS Reese was on his feet when Mr..
Smith made his motion, and stated he
had risen to propose similar resolu
ton. No opposition was raised, and
the motion went through with whoop
and a hurrah.
Mr.. Ingersoll heartily thanked the
convention. He enlarged upon the har-
mony that prevailed. 1t was an omen
of the success which would attend the
Republican party at the polls in No
Vember. The Republicans had, for
ty and st. Paul were Republican. They
had never proved that claim. There
had always been a reason why the Re
publican party had not received the full
vote. There had always been some diff
ferences of opinion which could not be
helped; but today he could see no rea-
son why they should not be successful
at the coming election. The sky was
just as clear in the political
horizon as it was that morning when
the sun rose. That convention was
most auspicious beginning of cam
paign which would reflect great credit
upon the Republican party. He trusted
they would bear in mind that Repub-
lican victories were attained only by
strict adherence to Republican princi-
pies and by strict adherence to what
was believed to be right. and for the
best interests of the community, and by
q firm will on the part of every one.
e.. I'll. Ozmun relieved himself little
in acknowledgement of his selection as
secretary. He also trotted out "Never-
before has the campaign opened more
auSpiciously," and winding up with:
II feel perfectly satisfied that the good
Republicans of the city of st. Paul
and this county will not stay at home in

in electing ticket that is nominated to-
day."
The organization of the convention
having been completed, nominations

able eX-assistant city attorney, got the

congressional convention to be held
at Anoka. He moved the chair

proved. Chairman IngerSoll decided
to report his selections later, and it was
decided to proceed with the nomina-
tions for the county offices.

by acclamation. 1t was done amidst a
storm of applause which lasted fully
three minutes. while the air was full of
moving arms and hats. Joe Jepson
tried to make an ass of himself, but he
was summarily sat upon, much to the
satisfaction of the convention.
Winston was called for and, mounting
to the platform, while the roof was
again strained by the applause, in few
simple words, withdrew his name from
the consideration of the convention.

closed easily, so j. r. Shibley came tC

marked Mr.. FoOte with becoming grav-

The laugh was on Sbibley. The chair
man then read the call and the Secre-
tary, W. H. Trip, the list of delegates.
1t was announced that contestants
would be allowed to vote on temporary
organization and nominations for tenn
porary chairman were declared in order.
''Mr. Chairman" cried dozen voices
from as many corners of the hall.
"Mr. Byrnes, of the Fourth wardW
81 nominate Col. M. w. Glenn"
''All those in favor will please say
ave." said the chairman.
The chorus of ayes and the voices OF
the diSsidents seemed to be about equal

called for, Col. Glenn'S hopes were un-
seasonably blasted.

each ward and two at large. This was
carried. G. j. Buell. moved the appoint
ment of a committee OH resolutions of
the same number. This went through
without opposition, as did similar mo-

joyed itself by making noise until 12
