the nomination of new men as general
rule. 1t is now announced that MI.
Dean has been interviewed and pledged,
and may be depended upon to fall in
line for Davis in 1898. Indeed, as an
anti-Merriam man expressed it. "Mer-
riam will be so badly used up This year
that he will not have recovered by
1893"
The legislative convention blossomed
out promptly at $40 o'clock, and II there
was any hot blood between Kid Nc
Martin and Kid Reese, it was not mani
test when the former raped for order
and the latter pompously read the call.
Henry Johns first brought the KIDS into
prominence on the floor by securing the
election of Grier NJ Orr as temporary
chairman. With aquaverings JUNCTION
Chairman Orr made his little speech.
AS he recovered warmth and confidence,
he dispensed honey with a liberal
tongue, and promised to snow under the
county Democracy. Sheldon Blakeley
was made secretary, and completed the
kid outfit. On motion of Charley Dana,
made in firm, deputy sheriff voice,
the following committee on credentials
was appointed: Herman StockenStrOm,
R. j. McCabe, George Lamb, J. Q. Adj
ans, Charles t. Cardigan, L. I: Cham
berlain. d. A.Monfort. John W. billiard,
E. l.. Mabon, Charles Moline, NJ. Mckay,
F. j. Luger and E. A. Boyd, the names
being given in order by wards. The
committee retired, and Attorney Nc
Ghee, the colored delegate, gave his
white hearers a lesson in oratory. Rev.
S. G. Smith talked of the mission OF
the Republican party. and eX-Gov. Mar
shall pleasantly INDUCED in ancient his
tory, treating OF the days when Mime
sofa was territory and the old men of
to-day were barefoot boys. When he
concluded the committee on credentials
reported the names of those entitled to
participate in the deliberations. 1t was a
long and weary piece of reading, and
almost as dull as the speaking which
preceded it.
G. B. Brunson, with proxy in his
pocket, read resolution which Sam
LOwenStein interrupted with pomp-
GUS motion to make the temporary Or
ganiZatlon permanent. Before Bronson
could get back, Fred e.. Ingersoll got
the floor and offered a resolution i'll
dorsing Senator c. X. Davis. The first
mention of Davis name was received
with applause. The resolution read:
Whereas. The eminently creditable career
of Hon. Cushman K. Davis in the United
States senate has fully justified the high
opinion his fellow Republicans of Ramsey
county have always entertained OF his Splen-
did abilities, his personal integrity and his
answering devotion to Republican princi-
pies: and
Whereas, The successful issue of the unre
hitting labors of Senator Davis in the mat
tiers of pension legislation, improvement OF
lakes waterways and other important sub
jects with which he has been conspicuously
identified. have demonstrated his possession
of those higher qualities of craftsmanship
now more than ever needed in the uncils
of the nation; therefore,
Resolved, by the Republicans OF Ramsey
county. in convention assembled, That we
hereby declare and record our uualterable
conviction that the best interests OF the party
and the people of Minnesota demand that
Senator Davis shall be re elected to the posi-
ton he has thus honored.
Resolved, That the Republican nominees
of this convention for state senators are
hereby instructed to support Cushman X;
Davis for United States senator, and use all
honorable means to accomplish his re-elec-
ton, in case the choice of his successor shall
be made during their official term.
Boiler Inspector r. G. Clark seconded
the resolution, as he said, OH behalf of
the laboring element. E. A. Boyd
wanted every senatorial candidate to
pledge himself for Davis, but 1ngerSoll
said the adoption of the resolution
would be eminently satisfactory to the
friends of Senator Davis. The resolu-
! ton was then unanimously adopted. &.
B. Brunson got his second wind and his
resolution. 1t was that each senatorial
| district name its candidate and they be
| ratified seriatim. Peter Bohland
| thought the same plan was good enough
for the representatives and wanted the
| delegates to retire. but the convention
wanted an open ballot. Nominations
being In order, G. E. Keller nominated
| Gen. John B. Sanborn for the Twenty
| fifth district, who was Endorsed by the
Democrats. and he was unanimously
| ratified. For the Twenty-sixth district.

| not yet ready to submit aname, but they
| wished the power to name hereafter d
| candidate to be placed OH the ticket. This
was acceded to. For the Twenty-seventh
district, Fred DriscOll nominated Will
| lam B. Dean, the Citizens candidate.
| who was Endorsed by the Democrats.
Mr.. Driscoll paid a warm encomlum
| upon Mr.. Dean as broad, liberal man,
a sagaciouS merchant, and a gentleman
| in all things. g. B. BrunSon wanted
| the vote placed in the hands of Fred q.
| Ingersol. Charles j. Berryhill felt he
| would be derelict in his duty If he did
not say something in favor of Mr.. Dean,
| whose nomination was made by accla-
| nation.
Ex-Gov. Marshall said he believed he
represented the sentiment of his dis.
| trict when he named Hiram f. Stevens.
| There were several seconds, and the
! nomination was made by reclamation.
! Mr.. Stevens was called to the platform
and made neat speech of acceptance
The convention promptly proceeded
with the nomination of candidates FOL
