Yesterday the top floor of the Labor
Temple was the scene of the county
convention of the Alliance. There
were nearly 200 delegates present. The
session opened at 10 O'Clock, and it was
after 3 before permanent chair
man had been chosen. All the inter-
vening time was used up in speeches.
When the convention did get to work,
however, it worked eXpeditiously.
whose faces appeared in either the Re
publican or Democratic conventions,
and who had become diSgruntled.
There were too, in the back part of the
hall, several ambitious candidates from
the old parties, but they got nothing
but cold comfort from the Alliance men.
The First Ball Pitched

craftsmanship, and the next landed John
Gutenberg in the secretary's chair. A.

pointed committee on credentials.
Then the fun began. Some 1900 cubic
feet of oxygen was used up in deciding
that the committee OH resolutions would
not be appointed just yet. j. r. Bar
rett, candidate for lieutenant governor
on the Alliance and Prohibition tickets,
came to bat, and proceeded to quarrel
with the umpire about the old parties
and the violation of the national agree
ment. But Barrett is a good speaker,
and entertained the convention for some
time. He devoted the time at his dis
posal to the enunciatiOn of the we'll
known Alliance principles, W. R. Mer-
punches in the short ribs. Rev. NJ. Falk
Gjertsen followed, telling the conven-
ton that he left Republicanism be-
cause of its high license principles. OF
course Tom Lucas followed, for
when were three men together without
Tom Lucas speaking? Thus the fore
noon passed. At 1870 the convention
began again. More fighting over the
credenti al committees report ensued.
several embryo Websters getting to the
front. Then A. III. Nelson introduced a
resolution binding the convention to
support none of the old party nominees,
seemingly for the purpose of giving
Tom Lucas a chance to say that he had
been
Approached by BoOdlers.
The resolution was made to include in
dependents, and so past. The report of
the committee OIL permanent organiza-
ton gave the permanent craftsmanship
to j. B. Dukes, of the Fifth ward. OF
course ne made speech of acceptance,
fvll of reference to the holy cause of
the Alliance. DIE. T. Clark moved that
a committee of five on resolutions be
elected by the convention, one at a
time, so that more time could be con-
Sumed. Tom Lucas was not elected
| unanimously, and didn't want to serve.
The committee as finally made up, after
grand scramble for places on it. con-
sisted of these: Tom Lucas, A. II. Mel
son, G. w. Curtis. A. S. Edwards and
E. B. Miller. There was SO much
| talking going on, and so many
motions being made at one time, that an
assistant secretary had tc be appointed.
| Thomas A. Clark was given the honor.
AT 3:15. after all the time since 10
| o'clock in the morning had been wasted,
| it dawned upon few delegates that
hQ hai oil
| lowed to appoint the tellers. Charles
Graves, of Long Lake, was nominated
for re gister of deeds. 1t took fifteen
| minutes to place three candidates for
| the nomination of sheriff in the field.
Tom Clark withdrew for personal rea-
sons. j. W. Lanslng's name was with
| drawn because he was the Prohibition
| nominee for the same Office. Then
| Louis FrederickSOn was nominated.
| Three or four names were pre-
scented for the county audi
torship. All withdrew and the
| nomination was finally forced upon A.
Segestrom. Jonas Howe, of Plymouth,
| S. S. Whittier and S. S. Schofeld were
proposed for county treasurer. but Howe
and Schofield withdrew. and Whittier
was nominated. Then up rose Thomas
Lucas, with fire in his eyes. He had a
little motion respecting attorneys.
"Mr. Chairman" said Tom, 81 move
you that we leave the place of county
attorney blank because we have no use
for the cattle. l never knew lawyer
who wasn't traitor to every cause of
reform. They are always interested on
the side from which they get the big

With a Howl,
and several lawyers of Republican and
Democratic persuasion, who stood near
the door, smiled grimly. Although the
Alliance had no use for lawyers, they
nominated a Judge of probate, although
such an officer must know some law.
Tom Lucas wouldn't run, and j. H.
Pane was nominated. Martin Aalberg.
| although he wanted to be Democratic
candidate, was nominated for county
| surveyor. DR.. L. f. Stark was named
