The committee on credentials reported
that they found 1857 delegates entitled to
seats in the convention.
Reading Clerk Johnson made an an
nouncement that opened the larynxes of
the delegates and the A. r. U. men in the
galleries. 1t was that the Twin City news
boys had been gathered in by the A. r.
L. boycott and that they had decided not
to sell any paper on the streets except
a local afternoon paper which has been
Endorsed by the union. A telegram from
Chicago announcing that similar boycott
had been declared there against six papers
started the noise again. A delegate in the
rear Of the hall moved to extend a vote
of thanks to the newsboys, but the motion
was ruled out of order.
PERMANENT OFFICERS.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported the following for permanent
officers:
Chairman, J. NJ. Bowler, Renville; John
T. Kruger, Ramsey, secretary; e. E. Ste
vens, Hennepin, and o. w. Kingsbury, Fill
more, assistant secretaries; c. H. johnson,
Pipestone, reading clerk.
The report was adopted and the conven-
ton permanently organized.
On taking the chair Major Bowler made
a brief speech expressive of his apprecia-
ton Of the honor. He said he felt that he
occupied the most exalted position in the
state of Minnesota The major made an
enthusiastic talk and predicted that this
convention would nominate the next gov
ernor of Minnesota.
Mr.. Gamble, Of Dakota county, wanted
L committee of seven on rules and order
Of business, but the convention set down on
The idea when it explained that an
order Of business is laid down in the con-
vention calls.
Chairman Bowler announced that the
John Brown Glee Club would sing another
ong, whereupon Delegate Mckenzie, of
Duluth, made a strong plea for the trans-
1ction and completion Of the business of
he convention He thought the nomina-
ions could be made before the platform is
,dopted, and that the convention should be
oncluded by night. Another delegate was
strongly inclined to think that the plat
form should be first adopted. Senator Dom
nelly, chairman Of the resolutions commit
tee, said the committee would not be ready
to report until the morrow, but that Mr.
Owen might be nominated for governor
tonight and the balance of the ticket COM
pleted on Wednesday.
Maj. Hotchkiss, of Preston, moved that
the convention proceed to nominate a can
didate for governor, and that that candi-
date be the Hon. S. M. owen.
Tom Lucas protested against making
nominations before they have a platform to
stand on. He wanted the committee on
resolutions to proceed at once with its worl,
and suggested that there was purposs
behind the attempt to force the early nom
ination of Owen. He said he understooC
that it was designed to place on the stats
ticket some men who had not been but
year in the party.
A motion was made to lay the motion
on the table.
Maj. Hotchkiss attempted to debate it..
Chairman Bowler declared the motion out
of order, but the major persisted long
enough to tell Lucas that he had been in
the reform movement Is years longer than
he ducas( had been.
In the midst of the noise the chairman put
the motion to lay on the table, and it was
carried and peace was restored.
