How Long the Committee Wran-
gled and Who Was Chosen.
The chairmen made up the committee
on delegates as follows:
Ter: Third, G. Horton: Fourth, j. Ii. Rolte;
Fifth. j. w. Tams Sixth, r. S. n. Sartz;
Seventh, A. Goodrich; Eighth, j. E: Wood
ford; Ninth, G. Turner; Tenth, Charles Nc
C. E. Foster; Thirteenth, A. S. Keyes. at
large, c.. r. Cameron, Matt Walsh, Henry
Oswald, Baldwin Brown; country. A. E.
Bailey, Herman Hem. Fled Smith, Ed Egan.
The chairman announced that e. X.
Cameron would be chairman of the
committee, and they were invited to go
up stairs and pick out the fifty-one.
At this point Mr.. Lawrence made his
foreshadOwed motion, lnStructlng the
state delegation to support p. b. Wins
ton as delegate at large and G. M. FOOte
for district delegate. There was an
excited debate, in whichM AleXander
Tod took all active part. he opposing
Lawrence's motion. A. L. Ankeny set
tied that little squabble by springing
the point of order that the convention
could not instruct its delegates until the
delegates had been chosen. The chair
man announced recess of twenty min
utes while the committee on delegates
was preparing its report.
The opponents of Lawrence's plan for
electing the delegates to the state con-
ventiOn. that is by wards, took the
ground that the committee could do the
work a good deal quicker. The other
plan would take up all of the afternoon.
The committee did not get through its
work very fast. The twenty minutes
f,Ntn fxrfn no
and still not a report from them. Mean
while the convention amused itself.
After the recess had grown irksome,
Prof. John Allison introduced Judge
Larson, of Eau Claire, who spoke about
Wisconsin Democracy. He took Occa-
sion to say that Gen. Bragg would be
good man for the Democrats TO bring up
here to make a speech, as he UNI
derStOod such man was being looked
for. When he had finished, S. R.
Child moved that it be taken as the
sense of the convention that Gen. Bragg
be invited to speak in Minneapolis on
Jetferson's birthday if possible. Mayor
Winston announced that it might be
possible to get speech from eX-GOv.
Campbell, of Ohio, at about the same
time. So the motion was made to in
cIude both distinguished Democrats,
and adopted. The committee OH the
Cleveland club will attend to this mat
ter. Then the convention had a good
deal of fun calling for various speak
ers. G. A. Quist was the only man who
took the platform to tell what good
Democrat he was and how much he
loved Mayor Winston. Joe ManniX
followed with some good advice for the
Democrats.
The committee on delegates did not
have a pastoral session. The committee
carefully saw that no reporters were
allowed in the committee room, but
echoes would float out. The committee
struggled from little after 2 until
nearly o'clock before agreeing on
list of names. 1t is understood that
there was fight made OIL the PROPOSE
ton to put Foote on the delegation.
The fight on Foote was led by Cameron
and Rolfe, the latter having been put
OH the committee as the only represent
alive of the Fourth ward when he had
to come into the convention on proxy.
In that committee room the rulers of the
convention found that they were not so
strong as they had fancied. They had
to give in and report Foote among the
delegates. This is the delegation that
will 20 to st. Paul to the state conven-
ton:
A. +. Anfeny. Charles Ward, joseph ingen.
hutt Hugh Butler, G.. W. Horton, J. H.
Rolfe, Robert Irwin, r. S. n. SartZ, A. Good
rich, T. G. Brooks +. A. Schwartz, ID. b.
johnson, P. Shevren, Elmer Foster, A. S.
Keyes, C. r. Cameron, Ed Burke, H. Oswald,
Baldwin Brown, A. c. Bailey, Herman Helm,
David Marchant, John Molen, A. J. Dolan,
J. F. Mccarthy. Louis Rank. Scion Arm
strong, H. P Herring, j. l.. Kiichli, Hugh
Jennings. Charles Il. Kanowski. Peter Jeub,
f. G. Holbrook, Theo BastIng, Ralph Reese,
c. F. Wheeler, G. NJ. Foote, Gardner Ste
vens, Samuel Mills, G. S. WalraYen, Alfred
Flsen, L. H. Tucker, John Nelson, c. H.
Shepley. Ed A. Stevens, Matt Bredemus,
William Finn, Jacob Stott, John Lally.
AS soon as the list of delegates had
been read and ratified. F. G. Brooks
moved to adjourn. j. w. Lawrence OBJ
iected, he having been assured that he
would have an opportunity to make his
motion to instruct. Rolfe had seconded
Brooks motion to adjourn. Brooks
seemed willing to withdraw his motion,
through courtesy, but ROlfe refused. and
f. G. Holbrook joined him in urging
Brooks to insist upon the motion being
put. The motion was put to vote-and
lost.
Then Lawrence made his motion, In
structing the state convention dele
gates for Winston and FOotc for dele
gate at large and district delegate re-
spectively. Ed Stevens was again fer
ninst" Lawrence. He moved to refer
the motion to the fifty-one delegates
selected. Stevens motion was lost, and
Lawrence's was carried with a whoop.
The delegates were instructed. A mo-
ton to adjourn was put,and the hungry
delegates, who had been in convention
assembled since morning without ever
morsel to eat, made wild rush for the
street aud supper.
