The only thing that occurred y s.er
dsy to charactt rize the usual interest
that has been exhibited in the fight fer
governor since the meeting of the state
convention was the result Of the Walsh
county oontesting delegation that o.
cupied the labored attention of the cen
trail committee for nearly ten hours. The

did not avert or offset the testimony,
which was by aft 'avits and the vote taken
ed 81 to II in favor of the Burke
delegation, which gave them a
seat as the proper delegates
in the convention. This caused a tiutter
in the Allin camp that had not been
anticipated, and proved destructive to
the strength which Allin had substan.

walked up to where it stood and placed
his grandpa's hat beside it, causing an
outburst Ct cheers.
The convention was slow in assem-

it's utmost capacity, and many visitors
occupied positions in the aisles.
