Mr.. Day voted for Tom Edison. Mr.. La
Monre for Hurley, Mr.. Logan for Muir,
Mr.. NCeder tor Hurley: MeSSrS. Havrevold
and Larson were absent.
AT the close of the fourteenth ballot Mr..
Elliott in rising TO change his vote from
Muir to Benton, roasted the republicans
day playing horse. when they have 1t in
their power to elect Il senator in ten
minutes. There was some excuse for
democrats aud popnlists, being in a mi
nority, to throw their votes here ana there
as a matter of compliment, or in mere
horse play, but there was no
sense in the republicans doing so.
Sixteen of the populists voted for Il re-
publican ON the last ballot in the hopes
that they would take the hint and elect one
good and true. but they didn't and he now
desired to change his vote to Benton.
After this the republicans tried to dis
solve, to recess till . p. III. ant to adjourn.
but the motions were all voted down and
the fifteenth ballot was forced by a vote
of IS to IS. After its close the joint con-
vention dissolved and the republicans met
liz conference in the senate chamber, all
being present but MeSsrs. Billiard. Sever
son, Ritter. Chuchin, Macarthur, Lohnes.
Larson and Havrevold, the two latter
being abSen, from the joint convention.
I MessrS. Ink and Svensrud were absent
when the roll was called, but came in later
LaMoure was chairman OF the caucus.
and after much earnest discussion it was
determined by a unanimous vote that
under no circumstances would they fail
TO elect a republican.
4 steering committee was appointed
from the friends of the several candidates,
consisting of Cashel, on behalf OF Casey:
Arnold, on behalf of Anderson: Hurley, on
behalf of kingman: Young. on behalf of
Smith, and Fuller. On behalf of Worst.
They met at the Sheridan and were in con
ference most of the afternoon.
Thu Grand Forks republicans, except
Walsh, voted for Roach as they did for
Mccormack the day before, as if to warn
OIL the danger as the Grand Forks seven
with the democrats and populist can
elect.
During the afternoon, however, fifty re-
publicanS signed a pledge to elect a re-
publican, and it is believed all will sign the
agreement.
Before disSolving. the joint convention
adopted the following report n resolu-
ton:
Your committee appointed to draft rpso.
lutions regarding the death of eX-Fresident
Rutherford B. Hayes, would respectfully
make the following report:
Whereas, Information has been received
by the assembly of the death of the Hon.
Rutherford B Hayes, eX.president of the
United States. and
Whereas, We deem it not only right and
proper but a duty to manifest u respect,
our sympathy and our sorrow ii the Oppor-
tunity is presented whenever this nation
Is called upon to mOnrn the loss of such
distinguished citizens; therefore,
Be in resolved, That in the death of X
President Rutherford B. Hayes this nation
has lost one of its most respected and
purest public men; a man who won his
" way from a homeless boy to the White
House. a position second to one OF earth
persistent industry and integrity. A man
whose loyalty responded to his country's
cry. of impending peril, and who through
multiplied campaigns preserved his digni.
tied character as a Christian gentleman,
and carved out a record of loyalty, patriot
ism and ability as a general which chal-
lenged the admiration of not only his own
state but of the entire nation. A man who
went through the seething vortex of politi-
cal strife with no odOr of dishonor at
tached to his name: a man
who. while occupying the highest
position within the gift of the people of
the nation, preserved the simplicity and
man who, although a partizan. loved his
country better than his party: a man whom
through life, in public or in private, on the
tented field or in the executive chair, pre-.
served his dignity and his manhood, and
this Joint assembly Of the legislature of
North Dakota hereby seek to do honor to
his character, to sympathize with his
family and friends at his loss, and as a part
OF this great government to drop a tear to
his memory.
Resolved. That our national flag be
caused to float at half-mast above this
capitol building on the day of his funeral
services as a further mark of regret and
respect for his honorable life and eminent
services as a citizen and a soldier to his
country. WIN. A. BENTLEY.
