The Peoples party Of Ramsey county
held a conference, or convention. yes
terday afternoon at the state committee
Headquarters in Central hall. The SEES
sion lasted from 2:30 to 7:30 p. m.
Above is given the definite result OF
the deliberations of the thirty-three del
egates present from the various ward
clubs. The task OF selecting candidates
for the Legislature from the several
wards and for county commissioners
was delegated to a committee OF five,
whose names could not be learned.

committee % the Peoples party. pre-
sided. and among those present were
DR.. Ignatius Donnelly, representing his
father: Doe Fish. Judge j. l.. Macdon
aid, candidate for attorney general; }.
j. Dougherty, candidate for congress,
and many Of the other leading lights of
the POpuliSt movement. The PROPOSE
tons considered were numerous. and
IN some instances surprising, and at
Times the debate took on stormy
character, all hands INDUCING
III oratory of lurid kind.

ally a weary-looking delegate would
emerge and Saunter around as il he
knew the light would keep, and at one
stage of the game it was reported that
while slate had been decided OIL in
formally. no nominations would be
made until meeting to be held next
Wednesday. Evidently the chief
''pushers'' got fresh held and rushed
the thing through.
One seemingly well understood propo-
SitiOn before the meeting, among men
supposed TO know, was that no man at
present holding Office would have the
ghost of a show for a nomination; but
the above list demonstrates that the
commendable qualities as public Off
Gals Of at least two Democrats appealed
TO the sober judgment Of the delegates.
Little is known Of Messrs. Carmichael,
Reed and Wallraii, except that they
were nominated as out-and-out Peoples
party men, aid the GLOBES Informant
was not even certain of their initials,
but gave those attached to the names as
his best recollection.
During the progress of the conven-
ton the vicinity of Seventh and Cedar
streets was dotted With possible candl-
dates, reporters, friends OF the neil will
ing TO be nominated and known friends
of the delegates who might be of use in
case the chance for fine work presented
itself during resting spells. After it
was all over the closeness Of the rank
and file of the PopulisIs to Democracy
and its principles was freely comment
ed on, since hot one avowed Republican
appears in< the list, though Fish and
Eckford made stubborn fight for some
probable nominees Of that party.
