parchment of Senator c. X.
Davis Called For.
The Populist party or Hennepin held
its county convention at Labor Temple
yesterday for the purpose OF electing
delegates to the state convention. to be
held next Tuesday.
The convention opened up with an
aspect of peace, which might be likened
to the proverbial lamb, but 1t went out
with the roar of lion and wild and
woolly yell which would have put q
full-6looded CoEanche war whoop to
the blush.
The delegates bided their time. and
the Walls OF wrath were not let loose
until after the regular business mad
been disposed of, when the hall pre-
scented the appearance of a bear gar
den.
The convention was called to order
shortly alter 10 O'Clock by Paul Fun-
iaine, chairman of the county commit
tee. Tom Lucas was made temporary
chairman, and (. Z. Stevens was elected
temporary secretary.
Of one from each ward and two at large
from the country towns, was appointed,
as follows:
First ward. E. A. Malone; Second
ward, {. a. Sylvester; Third, r. T.
Hoskyns; Fourth. J. +. Griffin; Fifth,
Robert Eckford; Sixth, h. A. Hanson;
Seventh, William Baisdell; Eighth,
Caseo ST. John Cos; Ninth. Charles
Marks; Tenth. F. n. De Void; EIev-
enth, Andrew Hurum; Twelfth, Edward
Heyn; Thirteenth. Z. Freeman; towns,
NJ. Stubbs, W. Ii. LIE Van.
On the basis of representation. which
IS one delegate for each twenty five

s; Eighth, 5; Ninth, 20; Tenth, 6: Eltv-
enth. Is: Twelfth. Z; Thirteenth, 3;

from the wards were fairly well filled,
but the country was poorly represented.
1t was announced that the basis OF ep-
reSentatlon to the state convention
would be one delegate for each fifty
votes or major traction thereof cast for
Weaver in 1892.
While the committee on credentials
was out an enterprising haWker got in
his work by selling small photographs
of Gen. COXey at 5 cents each. Some
bouy got onto the fact that Coxey had
copyrighted the sale OF his photos, when
the interlOper was fired cut.
Pending the presence of the commit
tee several songs were sung. and
speeches were made by Tom Lucas. Fl.
Is. Martin and others, the subject mat
ter of which was of vivid carmine, the
remarks bristling with denunciatlons of
the powers that be. But this was only
the prelude to the big show which
came later.

reported the convention made DR.. E. II.
Clarke permanent chairman. the

THE FUN BEGINS.

dering out the military forces of the
United States. His action in interior

despotism and as having infringed on

He made a bitter speech, saving that
the action of the president was in the
interest of the plutOcratS of the country,

ID. b. Martin also denounced the pres

interests of the people. He said he
should turn his ear from Wall street,
and be made to observe the Will of the

II. j. OReed favored the resolutions,
and remarks were made by others who
denounced both the old parties, which
were compared to rotten eggs and other

Mr.. Dobbin spoke in favor of proceed

Mr.. Martin Jumped on chair and
