on by the Duluth Crowd.
The continuance of the Peoples
Party congressional convention yes
terday afternoon was not exactly q
sea of roses; there were thorns
among the flowers and at different
times they made themselves felt. The
thorn element was the Duluth dele
cation of Knights of Labor. but they
finally got what they wanted and
everybody was apparently well sat
isfied.

kwho as chairman OF his delegation
was member OF the committee on

made permanent.
The motion to elect a delegate at
large to the Omaha convention, by
reclamation carried, as did motion
that chairman of each delegation cast
the vote for his county. The result
gave o. G. Lyman of Stearns 36, with
John Jensewold OF st. louis close be-
hind with 80. To pour oil on any
water which might be troubled,
JensewOld was at once elected as a
delegate by reclamation. There
were several Cincinnati's in the con-
vention who desired to go to Omaha,
and nominations poured in fast and
furiously. The result showed the
three receiving the highest number OF
votes to be, c. F. BOhall, Todd, 40;
j. o. Cater, Sherburne, Sc; p. j. Sc
berger, Stearns, 81. }. F. Mentally OF
Morrison followed closely with 81
votes.
The next matter before the conven:
ton was congressional nominations,
and this precipitated the fun. Jens.
void, a Duluth lawyer-delegate, made
q motion backed by a speech to ad-
journ without making any nomina.
ton. There was a lurking suspicion
he said, that the prospective candi.
dates were not full-fledged Peoples
party men, and that the timber was
not thoroughly seasoned and kiln
dried. Another thing Mr.. Jenswold
seemed to very much desire was that
the convention of farmers should
look upon the beauties of his city.
His remarks were seconded by a
Wadena county delegate-preacher
and also by M. Wesenberg, editor OF
the Duluth Skandinav, and chairman
of his delegation, who is a veritable
fire eater. The old man INDUCED in
a most vigorous kick against the
convention making a nomination at
this time. For a few minutes it
looked as though there was no Web
sterian head among the opposition
to come to the rescue and the Duluth
men seemed to he in full possession
of the earth, but soon ShentOn, Nc
Nally, Plant and Seberger in few
pointed remarks brought the remain
der OF the convention to their senses,
though the old Duluth editor pre-
sented a most tempting picture OF
1.-THE results of awaiting the action of
the other two parties, declaring that
if the present most prominent candf-
date for nomination in the Republi-
can ranks (evidently referring to Fl.
G.. Kendall) was nominated by his
party that 1000 votes would
go from the Republican to the Peo-
ple's party. and thatif the Democrats
nominated the man who now seemed
most prominent among. it's cohorts,
(meaning Henry Kellerr an equal
number would go from the unter-
rified to the Mecca of the dissatisfied.
Wesenberg said that he would
have much preferred to make these
startling disclosures in executive
session, as suggested by the chair
man of the convention, but which
had been downed by the efforts Of
Delegates McNally and Raiscot of
this county.
The motion having been lost
by nearly a tie vote the matter
of nominating a lamb for slaughter
