now was an enthusiastic advocate of
s:big convention" He wanted the basis
made on such a ratio that the cOnven-
ton would contain about 1000 dele
gates. In this he was opposed by nearly
all the members of the committee, some
of whom were willing to have the num-
Der of delegates increased, although APP
posed to having 1t done in accordance
with the plan advocated by MI. Good
now.
The Hennepin man advocated that
the convention be made double the size
of the state convention of 1890, which
contained 459 delegates. That cOnven-
ton was called according to the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved That each county polling 500 or
more votes for the Republican candidate for
president in 1888 shall be entitled to two del
egates ut large; those polling less than 500
votes, one delegate at large; within each
county one additional delegate for every 500
votes cast for president III 1855 and Que dele
gate for each fraction over 100.
Mr.. Goodnow's proposition was that
each county polling over 500 votes in
1888 be given four delegates atlarge leach
county polling less than that number,
two delegates at large. and in addition
one delegate for each $50 votes or major
fraction thereof cast for President Har-
rison in 1885. This motion of MIR. Good
now came in the form of 4 substitute
for motion made by Secretary Tams
Bixby, fixing the size of the convention
at the same figure and on the same basis
as that of two years ago. The Henne-
pin county man had no sooner offered
his substitute than Senator TaWney
said:
"How many votes will Hennepln ana
Ramsey counties have under that sub
stitute ?''
Mr.. Goodnow SO; Ramsey
"a. The total, 91S.
Chairman HeatWole-WOuld not Hen
nepin have about "a -?
This is not a Hennepin county mat
ter" said Mr.. GoOdnOw. Under my
resolution there is no difference in the
proportion in Hennepin and Ramsey
counties than in the call of two years
ago. The number of delegates is eX-
actly doubled, and the only argument
that can be made against it is that ow-
ing to the fact that this convention will
have little to do the people will be in
different and fail to come out. This, l
believe, is mistaken impression. At
the time this convention will be held
the national convention will be near
enough to make the people attend. They
will have in view the practical re-
suits that there may be in the
position. At the present time the peO-
pie oat through the state are not talk

ing the vote of Otter Tail county in that
year, compared it with the vote given
President Harrison. He then went on
to say that were it not considered good
policy in politics sometimes to return
good for evil he would be in favor Of
calling the convention on the basis of
the actual Republican vote as last cast.
He thought that it was not good time
to either increase or decrease the repre-
sentati0n accorded the counties.
A. ID. Stephens, of Polk, and Secre-
tary BiXby also opposed the scheme,
and finally vote was taken on tho
question, those fayOring larger con-
vention voting yes and those opposed
no. The vote resulted as follows:

Ex-senator Buchanan, who always
stands by the newer counties in the
north, wanted two delegates at large
accorded each county, and MIR. Rich, of
Marshall, offered motion making this
change. After little desultory talk

EAR MARKS OF A FAKE.
Alleged Disreputabie Deal in Cam
adian Politics.

WINNIPEG, Man., March 1.-The
organ of tie Manitoba government
here last night published startling
statement to the effect that bargain
has been made between the Roman
Catholic church and the Conservative
government at Ottawa, by which the
church has pledged itself to give the
Conservatives the entire Catholic vote.
One condition of the arrangement is
that Abbott, the present Dominion
premier, is to retire in the near future
and be succeeded by Sir John Thomp-
son, who is a Roman Catholic. Another
condition is that, in the event of the
prIVy council of England declaring the
act recently passed by the Manitoba
government abolishing Catholic schools
to be valid and constitutional, the
Dominion government will promptly
pass remedial legislation annulling the
act and giving Catholics the right to
maintain their separate schools at the
public expense.

doubled the number of delegates at

The people outside the cities would not
like to see Hennepin county with
delegation of 80 and Ramsey with 80
or 60 in the convention. In che last

try districts for their majorities.
II you want to reach the people of the
country" he said earnestly, leave the
apportionment at one delegate for every
