The nomination of George Ledger

and party previous to the election OF
the present incumbent. There is nc

Tom Buxton will be the next treas

Ihe Convt ion.
1t was twenty minutes of 10 O'Clock III
the morning when Z. NJ. Foote, chair
man of the county committee, rappe,l
for order. The reading of the call was

do this or that, but the convention was
almost unit upon matters that called
for an expression of Democracy. There
was split in one ward, or rather one
set of delegates withdrew from the con-
VentIOn. 1t was factional quarrel, but
they simply withdrew. aired no soiled
linen and called no.name.
The resolutions adopted were peril
nent and aimed at something to be ae-
compliShed without the bombast or
euIogistic vauntings.
What is more important. however, is
that strong, clean ticket was nominat-
ed-a ticket that it is meant to elect.
In short, it means fight. The nominees
are men of standing and influence with
out exception, the best the convention
could select, and from the temper and
enthusiasm of the Democrats assembled
in NOrmanna hall it was plain to be
seen that there was no feeling that
empty hOnOrs were being conferred.
The convention is to be congratulated
upon its good order. Although the hall
was not any too large for the accommo-
datiOn of the delegates, there were sew
erai hundred spectators in attendance.
Under these circumstances the co nven-
IlOn was III refreshing contrast to the
bear garden performance at Harmonic
hall which was advertised as the Repub-
llcan county convention The Selec-
ton of delegates to the Fourth judicial
district convention was made with care.
and results are certain to follow that

dispensed with. and Lars Nj. Rand
nominated +. G. Winston as chairman.
An election by acclamation followed,
and Mr.. Winston made few brief re-
marks by the way of returning thanks
for the compliment paid him. George
K. Ledgerwood and Harry Lund were
elected temporary secretaries. Upon
the motion of Ed A. Stevens moved the
appointment of of committee consist
ing of one from each ward and two from
the county. This prevailed, and the
following committee was appointed by
the chair:
First ward, Charles Malchow; Second
ward, Hugh Butler; Third ward, II. w.
Sullivan: Fourth ward. S. Il. Childs;
Fifth ward. s. r. Willard; Sixth ward.
Timothy Flynn: Seventh ward, L. l..
Edwards: Eighth ward, Ed A Stevens;
Ninth ward. S. j. Nolan; Tenth ward,
James Dwyer; Eleventh ward, Charles
Fellman; Twelfth ward. r. E. Fischer:
Thirteenth ward. Alex Stuart; county,
Fred l.. Smith and Fred Corcoran.
When the committee was read, A. S
Dardail made warm protest against
L. w. Sullivan. from the Third ward,
acting on the committee. He said there
was contesting delegation from each
precinct in the ward. anu he considered
it entirely unfair that Mr.. Sullivan.
member of contesting delegation,
should serve OH committee appointed
to pass upon these contests.
Ed A. Stevens moved in view of this
feeling that the committee should be
instructed that members OF the com
mittee should not act when their re-
spective precincts were under discus
sion.
Aid KiichlI Immediately moved that
the motion be laid upon the table. A
vote was taken, and the chairman de-
clared it carried. He. however, neg
lected to call for the ''noes." and Mr..
Dardall claimed that there should be
another vote. He was accommodated,
and the viva vOce vote that followed
left no doubt that the affirmative was
largely III the majority. So the motion
to table was again declared carried.
Owing to the disorder in the hall the
debate which accompanied this action
of the convention was characterized by
a great deal of shouting. Mr. DardalI,
who spoke for the delegates known as
the "TammaIiyites," VINO were known
TO be opposed to the candidacy of
Aid. Kiichli for the legislature,
was very emphatic in his oppoSi-
ton to Mr. SulEvan'S serving

judicial Convention Delegates.
Tne election Of forty delegates to the
judicial convention was the next busi-
ness.
B. F. Nelson made the motion for the
appointment of committee of five to
select forty delegates to the judicial
convention. He did this to expedite
business as we'll as to secure a more
careful selection of the delegates. The
motion was at once voted down. .. B..
Johnson then moved that a committee
TO select the delegates shall be ap-
pointed to consist of one delegate from
each ward and two from the county.
He got the attention of the convention
and made an eloquent addreSs,in which
he urged the importance of the judicial
nominations, and thought that hap

follow IL this convention elected the
delegates instead of having a
committee make careful se-
lection. He paid his compli-
tool of the plutocrats who had made use
Of judicial appointments to further his
political ends. When Nelson came into
office he found four Democrats and two
Republican judges on the bench, placed
there by the will of the people. By
death and resignation two vacancies
had been created, and by his appoint
me ms he has changed the political
complexion of the judiciary so that
there are now four Republicans and
only two Democrats on the bench.
Ed A. Stevens did not object to the
selection of delegates by committee,
but did object to any move which

Ed A. Stevens moved the adoption
of these delegates, together with the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the Republican scheme
of Incorporating outside counties with
Hennepin to make the Fourth judicial
safely Republican having failed. the
time has come to detach the counties of
Wright and AnOka, and that until such
time as the change is made one Judge
ship should be accorded to said cOun-
ties, to be selected by the delegates
therefrom and the balance from Henne-
pin county, i'll the same manner, to the
end that home interests be protected
and home rule prevail
Although Mr.. Stevens resolution was
received with considerable applause it
was shelved by a substitute make by G..
K. Cameron, which simply confirmed

ton.

LEGISLATIVE CONVENTIONS.
Results of the Various Meetings
t-y Held Last Night.

The Twepty-ninth district legislative
convention was lively affair. probably
the Hveliest of them all. Titus Mareck
was chairman and f. G. Griswold secre-
tary. Fhere was no hitch at all over
the senator, the First ward delegates
falling in with the Third ward delegates
in making the omination of Joseph L.
kIchll unanimous.
The McGowan men might not have
turned in so easily had they known
what was coming, for John T. McGowan
met t'llls wv aterloO ill the east convention
after the joint convention had dissolved.
Al Internal ballot tor candidate for the
house OF representatives resulted as fol-
lows: j. Z. O'Reilly, 28; j. II. Nc
Gowan, D; K. D. Strong, 4.
This was sumner for the MCGOWAN
men, and the next ballot was more so.
Ii was the formal ballot, and resulted ::
O'Reilly SO, McGowan %.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
John McGowan was diSgUsted man
when the result was made known. He
had good-sized majority of the dele
gates from the First ward, but FIVE dis
tricts of the Third ward-the First,
Sixth, Seventh. Ninth and Fifteenth
voted with the First ward, and they
controlled the nomination.
MIR. McGoWan rose and stated in a
very emphatic way that he had been
promised the Third ward votes provid-
ing he had majority of the First ward.
1t was also intimated that the same
Third ward votes had been promised to
O'ReiIIy.
The west half of the district had little
trouble with it's legislative district.
George NJ. Bleecker was nominated for
the house by vote of about "a to 10,
the other candidate being F. W. Pratt.
The Thirtieth district elected b. F.
Nelson chairman and A. Christello
secretaro. Frank G. Mcmillan, the
present senator, was renomin ated for
that position by acclamation. The house
nominations were left vacant, as it swas
believed that there was chance of
fusion with the Populists. Chairman
Nelson was authorized to appointa COM
mlttee of seven on conference.
The Thirty-frSt district will nominate
its candidates for the legislature two
weeks from yesterday. The meeting
will be held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
at the Hennepin League rooms. The
delegates met yesterday and elected
James F. Williamson chairman and
Frank I. Corriston secretary. The
reason for the adjournment was that
the deiec ates believe they have chance
to defeat Ed Potter for the senate, and
they desire to thoroughly canvass the
situation.
The Thirty-second district legislative
convention met in one corner of the big
hall, and had a little trouble at first. La RS
Nj. Rand was elected chairman and T..
A. Quist secretary, and it was at once
decided to vote upon representative first.

Nominations for County OFFICES,

NoHninatlOns LOT COunty OmCeS.
1t was 4:30 o'clock when Aid. J. q.
Hayne, in his shirt sleeves, mounted
the platform and nominated Max ID.
Robb for county attorney, as young
man with good ability and experience,
all earnest Democrat and man who
will command the suffrage of all who
knew him.
John II. Long followed Mr.. Hayne
with the nomination OF Frank ID. LARA
bee, man who was known through hout
the county as foe TO corpol ations and
mOnopolies, who had the ability to pros
ecute thieves without calling the presi-
dent of the WoOdpeeker TO help him,
and who did not have 10 have outside
help whenever he had case of i'm
portance to try.
s. r. Child, F. I. Cerreston and P. j.
Neff seconded Mr.. Robb's nomina-
tion, and Pat Callahan seconded "the
name of Frank Larrabee, man who
doesn't need any eulogy. The
ballot had proceeded about half way
and 1t was apparent that Mr.. Larrabee
had large majority of the ballots.
whereupon Mr.. Rabb withdrew his
name and moved the unanimous nomi-
nation of Mr.. Larrabee in speech of
such earnest endorsement that the con-
ventlon cheered him to the echo, and
after passing the motion TO elect LARA
bee by acclamation, called for the
nominee. Mr. Larrabee responded with
hearty thanks 10 the convention and
Mr. Rabb. He said his candidacy had
been unprecedented, as his name had
only been mentioned within forty-eight
hours. He warned the convention that
his election or that of any other candi-
date Oh the county ticket meant hard
work. The Republicans had nomi-
mated strong man for county at
toraey, one who could hardly be
defeated unless the Populists indorsed
the DEMOCRATIC nomination. He thought
that it would be well to consider the
advisability of centering strength upon
an effort to elect certain candidates and
making sure of that rather tnan TO at
tempt to elect the whole ticket and per-
haps be defeated. He believed that a

ward, so he claimed. would quit the
convention. When the motion to table
the motion prevailed, Mr.. Dardall and
his cohorts withdrew, or at least did not
appear before the committee on creden-
tia Is to make any protests, and did not
partake in any further proceedings Of
the convention.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by the chair, and the cOnven-
tion adjourned to l O'Clock, while the

Afternoon Session.
When the convention reasSembled in
the afternoon Chairman Winston made
some emphatic remarks concerning the
keeping of order, and then Ed A.
Stevens made the report of the commit
tee on credentials. There were no con-
tests reported that seemed to involve
more than misunderstanding of cau-
Gus rules, or some parliamentary
bubbles, and there were no appeals
from the committees report. In con-
| 1lusion he stated that as far as the COM
mittee had knowledge there were no
| contests III the Third ward. No con-
testing delegations had appeared. and
there were no tangible signs of dis
| agreement in the Third ward. The
convention accepted this happy ter
mination of what promised to be-a fac
tional fight, and adopted the commit
tees report with cheers. The temporary
organization was made permanent.
Sharp Resolutions.
The report of the com mittee on reso-
| lutions was next read by j. FL. Nickel.
The resolutions were unusually perth
nent. and nearly every clause-was re-
| celved with emphatic applause. The
allusions to President Cleveland, to the
election of United States senators by
