to bring the gavel down on the table
with sufficient force and noise to at
tract the attention of the chattering
delegates. Mr.. Reed, of course, deliy-
cred himself of the customary opening
speech, IN which he spoke of the
and the splendor of the pros
poets of the coming battle. When

ng of the minutes dispensed with,
William Henry Eustis girded up his
loins, and with a flourish of trumpets

THEIR SHAKY TICKET.
Republicans Yesterday Held
Their Long and Tiresome
County Convention.
They Nominated a List Of
Candidates Full of Gaping
Flaws.
Legislative Nominations Made
After Some Very Bitter
Fights.
H. O. Peterson in the Race
Again--Flour City Local
News.

After ona of the most disgraceful ex-
hibitions of scrambling for Office ever
seen in a civilized country the Republic
| ans yesterday placed in the field a
county ticket made through the action
of religious prejudice and desire to
placate nationality.
The convection met at 10 O'clock in the
morning, and 10 o'clock at night had
been reached and passed before the adj
Journment came. Every nomination
was fought for with all the en-
ergy that characterizes the greedy
seeker for sustenance at the public tap.
Some of the nominations are good, from
Republican standpoint; others are
woefully weak. Almost every nomina-
ton was secured by trade. Never has
more fragrant traffickIng been seen In
Hennepin county.
In the beginning, Joseph T. Mannix
was beaten for the nomination
for cou MY auditor, partially by
trade and partially by the reap
pearance of an element that was promi-
nent in the Republican convention of
two years ago, but which, it was sup
posed, had been showed under by the
action of the people at the polls. Minor
sold his chances f or the nomination for
the possible deputys hip in the office of
Cooley, should he be elected auditor.
Just before the third ballot Henry T.
Brown pulled Miner off the track with
that promise. The anti Catholic feel
ing did more to defeat Mannix than any
other agency. Yes, it came up again.
G. K. Cooley is said to be affiliated with
the organization. On the other hand,
ManniX has been one of the bitterest
enemies of that following. ManniX
knew the "antis" were fighting him,
but would not truckle to that element.
Some people, anxious to conceal this
fact, say that ManniX's vote for Win
ston two years ago beat him. But that
is not consistent. Soderstrom. who
worked for Winston two years ago, and
whose paper. Svenska FolketS Tidaing,
supported Winston, was given an
Office. The facts regarding these two
places are these: ManniX was beaten
by the anti-Catholcs. Soderstrom was
nominated because he is Swede. The
"antis" came near defeating John III.
Steele for judge of probate. as they did
year ago, but failed.
That was the only remarkable mani
festation made by the convention. which
was far below the average in intelli-
gence. 1t might be said, though. that
the convention was singularly lacking
in enthusiasm. For all nominees ex-
cept Frank NJ. Nye, Willis A. Pummer
and James ii. Eye, the old war horses
of the party were beaten.

MAKING NOMINATIONS.
How a Rickety Ticket Was
Patched I'm.

At 2:20 John Day Smith swung his
cane as signal that the convention
should come to order. But they were
slow i'll coming to order. As soon as
his voice could be heard the chairman
announced that smoking in pure and
holy Republican convention would be
ruled out of order. Then committee
of three on resolutions was ap-
pointed. Dave Knowlton, w. S. Pattee
and William Henry Eustis were the
members. Tall Harry Truesdell moved
that the committee on resolutions be
instructed TO report an Endorsement Of
national, state and Fifth district con-
gressional platforms. Col. Charlie w.
johnson moved as an amendment that
all resolutions offered in the convention
be read and rererred to the committee
on resolutions without debate. A man
named Reese hurt Charities feelings by
declaring that not word uttered by
that famous voice could be heard.
The amendment prevailed. Loren
Fletcher. recently dangerously i'll. came
down to do little electioneering. He

Branching Out.

The Columbus Buggy company is ex-
tending its business in Minneapolis to
large extent. f. l.. Darrow & Co.,
the carriage and wagon manufacturers
and dealers, have sold out to the Column
bus company. The transfer has al
ready taken place, and the figures were
SS0,000. The sale includes the ware
house and offices at the corner of Eighth
street and First avenue south, also the St.
Paul branch. The Eighth street prop
erty will be pushed up one story and
improved otherwise. T. l.. barrow will
be the manager of the new concern,
which will be the Northwestern supply
point and depot for the Columbus com
pany. The firm of Z. l.. barrow & Co.

and know from personal contact with
the leaders that there are no factions.
1t would be an Injustice to Senator Hill
to hint that he will not give his hearty
support to the nominees. l look for a
big victory throughout the country. The
cry of free trade raised by the Repub-
Means 10 scare the WOrklngmen has not
done any harm. and the Demo
cratic party will make great
gains among them, and particularly
will the increased Democratic vote be
seen in the cities and great manufact-
uring centers. In New York the re-
ports from all over the country are very
| gratifying. and the four years which
have interviewed since 1883 have given
voters opportunities to study the tariff
| question. In this state and Wisconsin,
l should say, judging from reports re-
ceived i'll New York, there will be great
gains. AS for Ohio, know very little
about the situation there. having been

weeks. Certainly the campaign has not
| begun there. However, if the Repub-
| licans are harmonious in Ohio concede
that the state is Republican, Mr..
| Campbell said he expected to take the
| stump next month, and his time would
be at the disposal of the national COM
mlttee during the campaign.

Connolly Was Dangerous.

Dave Connolly got drunk yesterday
afternoon and raised "a hubbub on Third
avenue north, between Fourth and
Fifth streets. He flourshed revolver
around i'll promiscuous manner, and
in spite of the entreaties of friends,
who were afraid he would do some one
harm, he insisted upon firing shots at
the chimneys Of the houses facing the
avenue. One shot went too low, and in
stead of hitting a chimney landed in
the arm of Ed Remmy, painter who
happened TO be passing by. A police
man arrested Connolly and locked him
up at the central station. The wound
in Remmy's arm is a painful one,
though not serious. He is employed IN
the paint shop of the street railway
company, and lives at As Twelfth street
south.

The superintendent of the various
departments coming under the jurisdic-
ton of the board of corrections and
charities submitted yesterday estimates
of the cost Of conducting their depart
ments during the coming year. Be-
cause of new beds and mattresses, the
city hospital Will need 5000 as against
sl6,752 the present year. The work
house needs new wagon, team of
horses and many other things, besides
the number of prisoners has greatly in
creased. Altogether the superintendent
thinks the institution can be run during
1898 for $4,000. The expense for the
current year will be S22,SO0. The poor
department will need the same amount

Ought to Stay Here.

Two men carrying satchels filled with
jewelry and watches, were brought into
police headquarters yesterday afternoon
by Patrolman Maloney, who suspected
them of being crooks. They were taken
before Capt. Helm and satisfied him
they were all right. The watches and
jewelry were brass, washed with gold,
and were used to dazzle the eyes of
cOuntrymen. The men were fakirs, and
were merely travelling around on their
nerve. Their pockets were filled with
pawntickets, and it seems one of their
best schemes is to pawn bogus watch
with a country pawnbroker for more
than its actual value and never return.

A Terrible Accident.

A young girl named Anna Kies, living
at 211 Fourteenth street east, met with
terrible accident yesterday afternoon.
She was in the kitchen of the house
when the gasoline stove exploded. The
flames shot out and ignited her dress.
aud before help could arrive she was
enveloped in the fiery element. She
ran out of doors and across the street to
top of her voice. When she reached
the house her clothing was nearly
burnt off. She tainted from the pain
and fright. Physicians were summoned
and rendered all the aid possible. She
was beyond human help. however. and
died at 10 O'Clock last night in frightful
agony.

This Settles 1t.

Mayor Winston yesterday affixed his
signature to the garbage resolution, and
at last it becomes law and Mcmillan
can go ahead with his work. The MAYOR
said he had examined the bid closely
and was well satisfied to sign the resO-
luton, inasmuch as the new contract
with Mcmillan meant a saving of at
least $4,000 a year on the bid previously
accepted. As far as Nichols was con-
cerned the mayor said he hoped he
would enjoin the city, if he could show
where any money could be saved. He
was inclined to doubt this, however.

New YORK, Aug. 23.-There was an
echo of the terrible Park place catas-
