The Election Of Officers.
When the time for the election of
president arrived it became apparent
that the Minneapolis men had fixed
everything to suit themselves. Coal
Baron John Goodn0w was their candi-
date, but they were not pushing him
openly. That part of the work had
been shOuldered onto the guileless
gentleman from up country" The
first nomination for president was
made by a. I. Stebbins, of
Rochester, who presented the name
of Frank L. Searle, of St. Cloud. W.
E. Culkin thereupon struggled to his
feet, and in a speech intended to be
witty nominated John GOodnow, of Min
neapollS. a Duluth delegate seconded
the nomination. Gates, of Ramsey.
seconded the nomination of Searle.
Several other seconding speeches were
made and A. S. keyes nominated Tim
Byrnes. Searle here withdrew his
name. ByrneS, with the air of man
already surfeited with honors, did the
same. Goodnow was then elected by
acclamation and made little speech
which had been carefully prepared.
The following were chosen as vice
presidents, one from each judicial dis
trict:
First. j. \. Searle, Washington; Sec
ond, Ii. \. Castle, Ramsey; Third.
Edwin Dunn, Eyota: Fourth, w. E.
Culkin, Wright; Fifth, A. d. Keyes,
Rice; Sixth, il. p. Hunt, Eankato; Sew
enth, Elmer +. Adams, Otter Tail;
Eighth, f. Il. Allen, Mcleod: Ninth,
Darwin S. Hall. Renville; Tenth, N. w.
Kingsley, Mower; Eleventh, c. E.
Lovett, ST. Louis; Twelfth, Charles l..
Strobeck, Meeker; Thirteenth, l.. F.
hammers. Jackson: Fourteenth, George
\. Lamphere, Polk; Fifteenth, J. j.
Howe, Crow Wing; Sixteenth, E. j.
Jones, Stevens.
1t didn'tta long to elect W. E. Lee.
of Todd county, for treasurer, and f. G.
Stevens. of Ramsey, for secretary. An
attempt was made to reconsider the
election of Capt. ii. A. Castle as one
of the vice presidents by some men
who had evidently felt the weight of
his tongue; but. under an appeal for
harmony, it was withdrawn. Next
came
The Election of Delegates
to the national convention, which will
be held in Cincinnati April 81. There
were some sharp contests over these.
1t was straight away fight Of the coun-
try against the cities, and the country
won in nearly all cases. The sharpest
| contest WAS in the Fourth judicial dis
trict. The Ramsey delegation haG met
in tile morning, and after an hours dis
cUlsslOn, practically decided to support
NJ. j. Costello. editor of the Dispatch, q
Democrat in principle and Republican
for convenience. But Ramsey'S support
of Costello was only half-hearted. Some
of the st. PauliteS broke away and en-
abled the country delegates to WIN. The
