Ward read paper on "How to Prepare
a Sermon" He said in brief that care
should be made in the selection of
text, not to take humorous or sensa-
tlonal one, but those which contain
some grand religious truth. Before
using any help care should be taken to
think it out, and then using commen-
taries and other helps, not verbatim,
but by thorough assimilation. The
sermon should be divided into two
parts, the better for discussion and to
assist congregation in following. The
subject will be continued. All present

but he had forgotten the latter's name.
This provoked some amusement. The
Sage was afraid of long ballot and
wanted to nominate candidate by
rising vote. This was finally de-
feated by vote of 225 nays to
134 yeas, and Delegate Plow-
man again immortalized himself by
moving to adjourn until o'clock. AS
it was then 3:57 no attention was paid
to the motion, and 'sPat'' Rahllly got
up to decline the nomination on the

the score that the latter was candi-

dent Hall wanted to step down, making
speech that only strengthened his
hold on the delegates, while Donnelly's
ill-nature and spite had blasted all
chances he may have had of either Sc
curing or debating the nomination for
governor.

that they have been able to reach IN here and

yention. I have always worked for them

After scoring Tom Lucas and the bal
ance of the delegation rather severely,
the sage pledged his support to the
ticket and sat down.

or two, and responded by saying that
his .'life had been straight as a string
before he came to st. Paul, and that
while Mr.. Owen was not his choice. he

ended the speechmaking. and IN rapid
succession the ticket was filled out as
follows:

Traverse county.

treasurer, Eric Mathison, of Lac Qui

and at 5:55 O'Clock the great alliance

a motion passed just before adjourn
ment, he will appoint state committee
consisting of one member from each
judicial district in the state, after con-
sultation with Candidate Owen.

governor, was born in Huron county,
Ohio, in 1889, and is, therefore, 81 years
of age. He was reared to young man
hood on farm and received a good
common school education. He served
in the Union army during the war OF
the rebellion. Subsequently he was en-
gagged in various business occupations,
and for time resided in Chicago. He
has for many years been writer on ag-
ricultural and economic subjects. and q
frequent contributor to agricultural
journals. In 1885 he came to Minne-
apolis and established the Farm,
Stock and Home Journal, and his jour
nal is conceded to be one of the most
influential of its class, and has an ex<
tensive circulation throughout the
Northwest. Mr.. Owen was a former
Republican, but his last presidential
vote was cast for Grover Cleveland. He
is an earnest tariff refOrmer-Or, as he
expresses his position, "a tariff reduc-;
tiOnist'-is wholly opposed to the Mo-
Kinley bill, is in favor of the free coin-
age of silver, and in general accord with
the views of those who nominated him..
Personally Mr.. Owen is of gentle
manly demeanOr, very courteous and
affable, but positive and resolute in ex-
preston. Like many other hard-wOrk-
ing editors, he is "barefooted on the
top of his head" and has something OF
philanthropist in his appearance. He
dresses neatly, has well-built, rotund
figure, wears fine griZZled muStache,
and has seemingly few OF the charac-
teristics of the "haySeed' in his make
up.
j. o. Barrett, of Browns Valley, tho
candidate for lieutenant governor, is a
practical farmer and wde-awake man.
He has long been an enthusiastic Alli-
ance man, and has now Sandwiched in
prohibition. He was nominated for the
same Office by the Prohibitionists few
weeks ago. lie is a practical farmer
and is expected to make good run.
The Alliance candidate for secretary
of state is n. Wesenberg, of Duluth.
Mr.. Wesenberg is the representative of
the labor men. He is the editor of the
Duluth Scandinav, a Swedish labor
paper published in the Zenith city. He
is an intelligent and able man and
wasn't at all anxious for the nomina-
ton.
Lac Qui Parle county furnished the

OWEN BY ACCLAMATIoN.
Donnelly, Fish, Et Al. Beaten on
the Rising Vote Scheme.


Tom Lucas, of Minneapolis, urged
harmony and another ballot was or
dered. Ex-President George w. Sprague
was called to the chair and the ballot
progressed. The Hall men went sOlidly
to Editor S. M. Owen, of Min
neapOliS, and to the surprise and
disgust of Donnelly, Fish, ct
AL, the former Donnelly dele
gates followed them. Before the Fourth
district was reached Mr.. Ovens nOmi-
nation was assured by an almost unani-
nous vote. On motion of Gen. Baker
the rules were now suspended and Mr..
Owen was named by acclamatiOn. The
convention seemed to go wild with de-
light over the unexpected and harmonic
Gus ending of the contest, and a COM
mittee consisting Of George w. Haigh,
Secretary John Lathrop and Milo Camp
was appointed to notify Mr.. Owen of
his nomination and bring him before
the convention. A few minutes later
the committee returned and handed Mr..
Owen over to Chairman Sprague, who

Mr.. owen is man of remarkably
fine presence, and his speech was really
able and eloquent, considering the fact
that it was an off hand effort. The APP
plause which greeted him at the close
was absolutely uncomfortable, and Wis

ASHLAND, Wis, July Tissue has
been joined on the labor agitation, and
1t is not within the impossibilities that
a serious strike, involving every mill
on Chequamegon bay and some 5000
men. will result. To-day the mill
owners caused to be issued, as result
ola common meeting, circular in the
form of resolution, as follows:
'.Resolved. AS the sense of the meeting of
the lumber manufacturers of Ashland,
Washburn and Bayfield,, that we made our
saving contracts and also our contracts with
labor for the season of 1890. That
while we are willing to concede ten
hours to the men, If they SO prefer, we cam
not in justice to ourselves, make such con-
cession except on the grounds of proper
t1onate concession from the men of one
eleventh OF the days wages.
Every mill about the bay was repre-
sented, and the above was the unanl-
nous agreement. This mode of reply
ing TO the request of the union has
greatly agitated it's members, and a
meeting has been called for tomorrow
night to take action upon the circular.
1t is not known exactly what will be
done. The union men say that they do
not want to strike, and the owners say
that they will stick to the resolution as
above recited. The most plausible idea
is that the men will refuse to 20 to
work, and the mill owners will quietly
shut down the mills. The situation
will then resolve itself simply into

particular excitement over the situation,
although the trouble is almost the one

Donnelly's Unsuccessful Break
for p. H. RahilIY.


For the first time since the commence
ment of the Alliance convention, the
delegates were tarday at the opening of
the afternoon session yesterday, and
it was not raped to order by President
Hall, until nearly 2 O'Clock. The DON
nelly men were full of fight, however,
and at once demonstrated it by DON
nelly man from the bloody fifth arising
and demanding that President Hall, ex-
press himself on the platform and state
whether if nominated he would 90 in
and make the fight. President Hall,
never looked or acted more the high
minded gentleman than when he arose
and coOlly, and firmly stated that the
platform was satisfactory to him and
that he should support Mr.. Donnelly if
he was nominated.
.tPat" Rahilly bobbed up and vouched
for Donnelly, and the balloting COM
side at this time and insisted that the
only votes that were entitled to be cast
were those going for Donnelly. This
created difficulty and ended in Presi-
dent Hall sitting down on the irrepres-
sible doc" with dull, sickening thud.
Over an hour was consumed in calling
the roll and the result was as follows:

NOMINATING CANDIDATES.

The Convention Lapses Into Dis
order---Donnelly's Position.
4 Several additional delegates had ar
rived yesterday. and requested to be adj
mitted to the privileges of the conven-
tion. Henry Plowman protested against
such proceedings. How did they know
the certified credentials of these dele
gates were all right2 They might be,
but how did they know what the enemy
be stopped. The convention agreed to
this. after a spirited and unseemly
wrangle. DIR. Fish distinguished HIM
self by remarking that these men chad
been sent for.o
D. w. Oldham. of Rice county, pro-
posed resolution that the convention
condemn the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
The motion received seconder, but
was squelched beyond recognition by
an overwhelming vote.
George Swift, of Polk county, an old
soldier, had previously attempted to
speak, but his remarks being Irrelevant
he was choked off. Swift thereupon
washed his hands of the convention.
An hour was spent in fruitless debate
and the expenditure Of an unlimited
amount of twaddle. Delegates would
not be seated. They yelled and whooped
! at intervals, and delegate after delegate
denounced the .'hOwling mob" and ap-
pealed for order. The convention was
reminded time after time that. sthe eyes
Of the country were upon it," There
were FIVE or six delegates attempting to
speak at one time. President Hall did
his utmost to secure order. He raped
his desk for several minutes.
P. H. Rahilly was persistent in ad-
dressing the convention.
President Hall called him to order.
Mr.. Rahilly declared he was in order.
President Hall-You are not. sir; SIT down.
There are score of speakers who have been
attempting to address the convention.
MI. Rahilly, somewhat crestfallen,
sought the refuge of his seat.
Quietness was eventually restored,
and motion agreed upon to proceed
with the nominating speeches for candl-

dates for governor. Speeches were llmi-
led to two minutes; some speakers took
ten and fifteen minutes.
Gen. Baker presented the name of
Daniel Buck, of Mankato.
Henry Plowman placed before the
convention the name of Ignatius Don
nelly, which was strongly seconded by
P. 81. Rahilly.
M. Weisenberg, of Duluth. was a
strong Knute Nelson man, but that gen.
tleman having failed to respond to a
letter asking him II he would accept the
nomination. he placed r. ). Hall In
nomination.
Alex E. Erherdt, of Fergus Falls,
nominated Knute Nelson.
Peter McKrachon, of Fillmore, said
the only objection he had to Mr.. Don
nelly was that he occasionally went off
his balance. He supported Knute Mel
sons candidacy. Mr.. McKrachon anim-
adiverted against Senator Washburn.
He said the only thing the Washburn
family was good for was to seek Office
and water stock.
DR.. Fish-Steal wheat.
Mr.. McKrachOn-Steal wheat! Steal
anything.
The hit at Senator Washburn was
hugely enjoyed by the convention.
DR.. Fish supported his friend Dom
nelly'S claims. I'VE always kne w
where Ignatius Donnelly was," the
learned doctor remarked.
G. w. Olney, of Swift, nominated j.
P. Pinkhan, the Prohibitionist candi-
date.
F. G. Smith, of Stevens. placed S. M.
Owens, of the Farm, Stock and Home,
before the convention.
Darlington Phelps supported r. j..
Hall.
E. A. Donahue was proceeding to
speak when a labor delegate rose and
Der of the convention.
There were loud cries for Mr.. DOna-
hue to sit down, but President Hall re-
Quested order and Secretary Lathrop
Informed the delegates that DOnahue
was duly accredited member of the
convention.
Over an hour was wasted in nominat-
ing speeches.
ID. w. Roberts, of Minneapolis, urged
the delegates to have nothing to do with
lgnatiuS Donnelly, because of the way
he treated the labor party two years
ago.
Mr. Donnelly replied to this state
ment of Mr.. Roberts. He said:
came here with the intention of abso-
lutely refusing to permit my name to be used
by this convention, put tell you this: If it
is the sense of this body, with anything like
unanlmity, that should lead your cause
if you say, 'Mr. Donnelly, we want you to
lead this contest'-I am ready to raise your
banner aloft and carry it, my friends, SO help
me God, until the sun goes down on the day
OF election. Give me plank to stand on,
and no man ever doubted my fidelity or my
courage But, my friends, when the ship of
state goes to pieces and there is nothing
left but planks, then it is the bounded duty
of man to swim ashore.
Mr.. Donnelly's declaration was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. After
his speech the convention once more
lapsed into disorder. The din was
something terrible. Some delegates
wanted to speak, while the majority
wanted to go on at once with the voting
of candidates for nomination. Eric
Olson was allowed to speak, and then
the convention sat down on further
"buncombe," as one delegate put it.
