They had no credentials but as there
was no caucus and no objection &c
their acting they were admitted.
LINCOLN.
A w Johnson. He had no creden.
tials, but as there was no caucus he
was admitted.
Lime, Beaufort and Decoria were
not represented.
The committee recommended that
the delegates cast the full vote OF the
towns they represent.
The report was adopted.
N Julian was authorized to cast the
vote of Decoria.
j. E. Ewing moved that commit
tee of five be appointed by the chair
to select two delegates from each
commissioner district and two from
the city at large to the state conven-
tiOn, and that committee OF five be
appointed to confer with Prof. Nc
Cleary as to the 16 delegates to the
Congressional convention, these
committees to be chosen one from
each commissioner district. He said
that this was made in order that the
delegates to the state convention be
fairly scattered over the county.
+ Hall moved that the motion be
divided and voted upon separately,
the last part first. Some discussion
followed as to the meaning and scope
of the original motion, several hold
ing that there might be conflict
with surrounding counties having
candidates for state offices and con-
gress, detrimental to Prof. McCleary' IS
interests. L P Hunt denied that the
motion would bring about any such
result. The interests of Prof. Nc
Cleary should be paramount. The
motion should carry. This was re-
ceived with applause.
j. E. Hall intimated that there was
something behind the motion which
was not apparent. There is no divis-
ion in Blue Earth county as to her
popular son, Prof. j. T. McCleary, but
there is as to the governorship, and
the motion should be divided.
w. r. Geddes supported the origi-
nal motion and wanted no contest in
volving Prof. McCleary's delegates.
A. @. Wilbur wanted a chance to
vote on the delegates. B. Bangerter,
Jr. took the same ground and did not
believe in the one man power.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Halls
and the chair decided
that it was lost.
J. G.. Fowler moved that the first
part be put first, but this was declar-
ed out of order.
Gaylord Lamb moved that the vote
on the original motion be taken by
townships and wards.
This was opposed by w r Geddes.
A motion was made to lay the
hole matter on the table.
L 2 Hunt understood that the con-
vention could consider the names of
St. Paul delegates when the commit
tee reported them. and they could be
VI lCJCCUCu.
The original motion was called for
and the chair decided that it was car
ried.
The chair then announced the ap-
pointment of the following committee
to nominate delegates to the state
convention:
First district-Fred Lassow.
