Cogswell, of Massachusetts, chair
man Of the committee on credentials,
looked and acted like a great two
legged porker. His instincts are
swinish.
An army of land officers, post
masters, collectors of internal revenue,
Indian agents and consuls were in at
tendance. Their duties called them
to Minneapolis.
The committee on credentials was at
first supposed to be favorable to Blaine,
and SO it was until the commencement
of the second session. Two or three of
it's members were suddenly converted.
Alvah Eastman reached town on
Wednesday. Although Alvah is a
Federal Office-holder he was not shout
ing himself hoarse for Harrison.
There is nothing mercenary about
Alvah.
Massey, Deleware's member on the
credentials committee, and strenuous
Harrisonite, has been appointed to a
supreme judgeship. Massey is bright
man, and he knew on which side his
bread was buttered.
Robert G.. Evans was chosen as ma
tional committee man notwithstanding
the herculean efforts put forth to de-
feat him. Bob was the choice of big
majority of the Republicans of the
State for the position.
Harrison received almost the entire
vote of the ''solid SOUTH" Out of 535
votes cast for Harrison PA were from
southern states and II from the terri
tories that cannot give the Republican
ticket single electoral vote.
Here is the way Minnesota stood:
Pillsbury, Eustis, Snider, Thompson,
Berg, jacobson, Wallen, Hillard and
Dunn were for Blaine; Newell was for
Mckinley; Day, Dougherty, Yale,
Dunnen, Hall, Jackson, Schell and
Comstock were for Harrison.
Senator Frank Day reused the ire OF
his colleagues of the Minnesota dele
cation by asserting that the beer-drink-
ing cigar-smoking crowd were for
Blaine. However, he apologized for
the ill-natured remark. The zeal OF
recent converts is forgiveable.
Out Of one hundred white and black
contestants and contestees from the
''solid south'' who appeared before the
committee on credentials ninety-nine
of them were unmitigated liars, and
three-fourths of the liars were Federal
office-holders and their parasites.
Maine, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho and
the District of Columbia recorded their
votes solidly for James G.. Blaine.
Florida, Georgia, Indiana, South
Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia,
Alaska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Utah voted solidly for Benjamin Har-
rison.
Senator Dougherty, delegate at large
from Minnesota, said Duluth was over
whelmingly for Harrison. The Sen
ator's statement and the Duluth IAib-
auoe's voting contest do not agree.
According to the Tribune, four-ffths of
the men who expressed an opinion
were in favor of Blaine.
Hon. James Diment, of Owatonna.
was introduced to Hon. Granville S.
Pease, of Anoka, at the Windsor
House. Are you the great McGill
boomer?'' was the first interrogatory
propounded by Jim to Granny. eyes,
I am the same fellow" responded
Pease. II admire your pluck but d-n
your judgment" blurted Diment.
The fight is ended and the Blaine
men feel sore, but to a man they will
stand by the ticket nominated.
Blaine's supporters are neither mug
wumps nor boilers. 1t is hard to en-
thuse over an iceberg like Harrison,
but Blaine's friends will vote the
straight ticket quietly and let the
Hoosiers and the office-holders do the
hustling.
Every contest that came before the
committee on credentials was from south
ern States, States that cannot give the
Republican ticket a single electoral
vote; and in almost every instance the
contestants were Federal offce-holders.
Every northern member of the COM
mittee was fully convinced that the Re-
publicans of the south, whites as we'll
as blacks, are a rum set.
-Four of the eighteen Minnesota dele
gates were ex-congressmen-D
Comstocl1, Hall and Snider. None of
the ex-members liked Blaine. They
could not forgive him for his "barrel
of pork and bushel of wheat'' remark
anent the Mckinley bill, for which
